We also have advanced optimization technology, allowing smooth gameplay even on low-end devices. As the knight awakens, he finds the kingdom in ruins. With fear gripping him, he rushes to the distant ruins, where he discovers his deceased wife. Helpless, he weeps bitterly by her side. Suddenly, a mysterious figure cloaked in black appears behind him, coldly smiling. The figure offers a deal: "I can turn back time for you, but you must promise to bring the Versailles Ring to the Sky Goddess." After a brief moment of hesitation and wiping away his tears, the knight responds firmly, "Take me back!"
