On the continent of Osto, humans and creatures live peaceful and tranquil lives. Peace has lasted for thousands of years here. Immersed in peace, humans and creatures gradually forget the existence of darkness. And darkness quietly spreads. The dark queen, once defeated by humans, has returned, leading a large army of darkness from the depths of hell to reappear in the world. The even more powerful darkness is invincible, and the northern human army has already been defeated, with the city defense lost. The dark army has moved south and is about to occupy the entire Osto continent. The belated humans and creatures rise up to fight back, but is there still a chance? Currently, the Osto continent has been shrouded in darkness. Will light ever return? This is a role-playing (RPG) game. As a player, you play as a hero fighting for the light of the Osto continent. Everyone has a dream of becoming a hero in their heart, and I hope you can experience it here. Let's fight for the light together! E-mail address:1357318@gmail.com
