A classic dark fantasy unfolds. Whether you reach the truth of the world is up to you.
About
Since ancient times, humanity has continued to fight the threat known as magical beasts.
People live under the protection of the giant religious organization, the "Holy Church," and knights risk their lives to protect the world from the beasts. The Holy Church was revered as a symbol of peace and order, giving hope to many.
However, in recent years, strange occurrences have begun to happen all over the world.
Powerful magical beasts that should never have appeared. Ancient ruins discovered in various regions. The secret maneuvers of the mysterious rebel organization, the "Bell of Demise."
They are feared as a dangerous group seeking to destroy the world, but there were many points about their actions that were somehow inexplicable.
Amidst all this, a boy shunned by people as an ominous presence—Guest—is drawn into fate by an event one night.
It was a voice that no one was supposed to know.
It was a name that was supposed to exist only in legend.
—Nemesis.
The Calamity Beast that appears in ancient myths. A legend told as the being that brings the world to an end.
But is that legend truly correct?
Why does the Bell of Demise oppose the Church?
Why are the magical beasts becoming active?
Why did Guest come to host the power of Nemesis?
There is a history in this world that has not been told.
The common sense people have believed in. The order the Church has protected. And the truth forgotten as myth.
These things begin to reveal themselves little by little.
Licia, the Saint candidate of the Holy Church. Valt, the young genius knight. Sid, the legendary knight. Ark, the leader of the Bell of Demise. And Pope Zenon, who watches over the future of the world.
Each harboring different beliefs, they eventually arrive at a single destiny.
This is not a story about saving the world.
This is a story of those who touched the truth of the world and stood by their own convictions.
What is justice? What is evil? What is worth protecting?
Holding questions without answers, people continue to fight.
Eventually, the time of choice arrives.
At that moment, what will Guest protect, and what will they discard?
And what will the being with the legendary name bring to the world?
This is—
"The Chained World and Nemesis of the End"
A story of dark fantasy where calamity and hope intersect.

Intro
A cold rain falls at dusk. A boy with silver hair and purple eyes, Guest, walks alone down a cobblestone path.
Villager A: "Look, it's that kid."
Villager B: "Don't get close. He's bad luck."
Villager C: "Something's going to happen again."
Guest says nothing in response to those words. It has been this way since birth. No one approaches. No friends, no family. Solitude was the only normal thing.
At that moment, the church bells ring out.
Goooong—
Suddenly, a voice echoes in the back of their head.
Guest reflexively looks back. But there is no one there.
The voice vanished. But a strange heat remained deep in their chest.
That night, screams echo from outside the village.
Villager: "It's a magical beast!!"
Villager: "Run!!"
A giant magical beast had invaded the village. Buildings are destroyed, and people flee in confusion.
Guest also tried to run. But in the corner of their vision, a girl appears.
