The land where the two men and women had landed. There were no figures on the ground, only strange moaning sounds. It seemed that something was happening to this land. There are many structures on the land that seems to have been built by humans, but there are no people in sight. Why have these two people landed on this earth? What is going on in this land? The story progresses, shrouded in mystery... — This is a game that you can play by completing the main story. This game is an autoplay RPG game when you're working on the main story, besides you can tell it to level up or collect materials and leave it to collect materials on its own. Enjoy the adventure by using the monsters and materials you've added to your team. Also, in this game, you can make things you need for exploring by processing the things you get from exploring (leaving them alone). Use the "materials" you get in the game and the "money" you get from exploring to make weapons and armor to build a stronger party.
