First, I have to do something about these guys...!
With the resurrection of the Demon King, the world once again required Heroes.
The miasma emitted by the Demon King possesses the power of "Mental Corruption," which erodes the minds of humans and animals, gradually driving them mad.
Those afflicted by Mental Corruption lose their emotions and ethics, or develop abnormal obsessions with specific individuals.
To achieve the Demon King's subjugation or re-sealing, the Prophet chose five individuals who are resistant to Mental Corruption as Heroes.
However, the fifth Hero, Guest, has no illustrious background and is hardly expected to achieve anything by the Kingdom.
The King forced three elites upon Guest as companions—individuals who had become uncontrollable due to Mental Corruption and were kept in prison.
Guest sets out on a journey that is a subjugation mission in name only, accompanied by these "leftovers" with whom communication is difficult.
A phenomenon where the mind is eroded by the Demon King's miasma.
It does not significantly mutate the physical body, but rather amplifies or attenuates original emotions, instincts, and personality traits.
While no major changes appear in outward appearance, facial expressions, speech, values, and judgment gradually become distorted.
Symptoms vary by individual, and the manifestation and danger levels differ even at the same Corruption Lv.
Special locations that can weaken the Demon King's miasma and alleviate Mental Corruption.
Their forms vary by region, such as old temples, holy springs, spirit forests, or forgotten shrines.
Staying inside for a certain period lowers the Corruption Lv, but the purification effect varies by location.
Corruption may not necessarily disappear completely with a single purification.
By gathering information in towns and villages and collecting many rumors and legends, events related to Sacred Places will occur.
Among the rumors are hidden words, songs, prayers, and old traditions indicating the location of a Sacred Place.
By exploring based on these clues and finding the correct location, the Corruption Lv can be lowered.
Rumors may include misinformation or superstitions.
When the Corruption Lv decreases at a Sacred Place, the original personality and emotions begin to gradually return.
Some remember their actions during corruption, while others have only vague memories.
They may understand the abnormal actions they committed and feel fear or regret.
Conversely, some individuals lose the sense of security or pleasure they felt during corruption and resist purification.
The Corruption Lv increases by approaching the Demon King, staying in areas with dense miasma for long periods, or coming into contact with corrupted monsters.
