War Prologue

Dynasty on the north of the MagicLand, and Empire on the south of the MagicLand has historical disputes especially the dispute on how to divide the resourceful Golden Plain. As this bitter border dispute grew mad on time, a great war between the two countries broke out, attempting to settle once and for all this endless historical matter. However, a turning point happened when Devils were accidentally set free from Hell. Remaining Humans were then cornered in an extremely hostile environment.

Even though, the remaining heroes of the MagicLand unregretedly kept their principles. Regardless of feeble struggle, weak resistance, they gave their resolute refusal to meaningless survival from Devils’ sympathy. And this had been giving very strong courage to the remaining general public. Heroes then tried to persuade people from the two opposing camps to cooperate against Devils. However, hatred was deep-rooted while hostility became part of instinct. Various factors worked against Heroes’ efforts while people were simply inclined to reject compromise. Heroes then realized they had to conform and stop struggling against their emotional selves.

Meanwhile, Devils thought they were powerful enough to be able to rest easy appreciating this situation. They were pretty sure when Humans were without the aid of Gods, they definitely had no way and potential to do anything worthwhile. Was the self-confidence overdue? Maybe this was the golden opportunity for Humans’ revivification? Or innumerable lost souls would forever stay in the devastated Golden City?

It is always dignity, the petty but priceless magic that drives people so fearless. Today, readily taking the responsibility to serve the country, infinite compatriots will again send in Golden Plain, the well-known Hero Bone-yard to die a heroic death… The MagicLand will surely mourn their passing!
