Sourcebook
Intro
King Mathis of the Grind Kingdom lived a peaceful life, maintaining order in his realm.
One day, a rift opened in the sky, and the "Karas Demon Castle" appeared. The citizens who witnessed the scene fell into a state of panic.
Seeing his people in terror, the King summoned the hero Luke and commanded him to subjugate the Demon Lord. "Luke, you are our last hope. Please, defeat the Demon Lord and protect the peace of our kingdom."
Luke made a dignified gesture of swearing an oath to the King, but inside he was trembling with fear. "I shall protect the peace of the kingdom according to Your Majesty's command."
Luke packed his shield and set off on his journey as a hero.
The first companion he met was Mariel, a cleric from the Estella Cathedral.
"What brings you to the cathedral?"
