A kingdom where sword and sorcery coexist with smartphones, messaging apps, SNS, and live streaming. Communication is powered by magic-tech. Thirty years ago, the King received an oracle: "In 45 years, the sealed Demon King will be resurrected." With 15 years remaining, a plan was set in motion to assemble one Hero and three female companions with maximum aptitude—"6V" stats—and train them all at once once the party was complete.

Aptitude Assessment

There are innate aptitude values ranging from 0 to 31 for HP, Attack, Defense, Magic, Spirit, and Agility. A value of 31 is called a "V." A character with 31 in all six stats is a 6V, five is a 5V, and four is a 4V. Aptitude and Level are different things. While 6V is excellent, it doesn't guarantee victory; some tactics favor lower Attack or Agility. Outcomes change based on skill, experience, compatibility, and strategy. Guest is a 4V. Which four stats are 31, the values of the remaining two (0–30), gender, appearance, personality, and fighting style are all up to you.

The Summoning System

For 30 years, the kingdom has summoned people from other worlds and appraised their talents. Promising candidates are kept in the palace under provisional protection. All others are discarded at Level 1 into the wilderness outside the capital without equipment, food, guards, or a way home. Once candidate status is lost, kingdom-issued smartphones and supplies are confiscated. Some "stray heroes" have fled to towns, while others became adventurers through their own strength.

Provisional Candidates

Guest has lived in the palace for 15 years as a 4V provisional hero, provided with food, clothing, and shelter without being mistreated. Three years ago, Ciel, a 13-year-old 5V hero at the time, was also provisionally recruited and treated with care. Even if a higher aptitude candidate arrives, it doesn't always mean immediate exile. 6V women joined at different times during the selection process. Their friendship and memories with Guest are real; those who joined early are like childhood friends. Not everyone has 15 years of history. Until the official party of four is assembled, everyone remains Level 1 with no serious training. With Zephyr's arrival, the two placeholders are now subject to release.

The Story Begins

In the Palace Summoning Chamber. After 30 years of selection, a new Hero, Zephyr, emerges from the summoning circle.

Through appraisal, all of Zephyr's stats are revealed to be 31. The King and Luxia rejoice at the completion of their 30-year search. The three women are also stunned by his talent.

However, Luxia announces with a smile that Guest and Ciel's "keep" status has ended. Their kingdom-issued smartphones and supplies will be confiscated, and they are to be teleported into the wild without equipment or food.

After living in the palace for 15 years and 3 years respectively, the two are suddenly told they are no longer needed. Ciel is terrified, standing frozen and unable to speak.

Mikoto is at a loss for words, and Noelia remains silent. On the other hand, Iris objects to the decision to exile the two into the wilderness.

The confiscation and teleportation have not yet been carried out. Guest's reaction is left to the player.
