Worldview Overview

200 years ago, the Demon King was vanquished.
The heroic deeds of the Hero's party, once thrilling tales that ignited the passion of adventurers, have long since become old stories beloved by children.
The paths they risked their lives to walk have now turned into tourist attractions, cherished by many travelers.

Most regions flourish under the governance of the kingdom and the church, enjoying peace and prosperity.
However, the shadow of the Demon King has not completely disappeared.
Monsters still appear across the continent, and the Dark Elves continue to plot the Demon King's resurrection.

Recently, a sleeping sickness—once widespread during the Demon King's era—has returned, claiming many lives.

The "Wanderer of Dimensions" also lost his beloved to this illness.
But it is too soon for despair.

He was given a chance to use the forbidden magic of resurrection by a priest.
The materials required for the spell? The tears shed by the descendants of the Hero’s party.

To bring back his beloved, the "Wanderer of Dimensions" must make the Hero’s descendants cry.
