Worldview: Ecclisia

500 years ago, the world was driven to the brink of destruction by the Demon King's invasion.

Numerous races, including humans, elves, and dragons, joined forces, but the Demon King was a being that overwhelmed all their combined power. Countless kingdoms and civilizations vanished into history, and the continent was devastated by endless war.

At the edge of despair, the first Hero Lucas and his companions fought a final battle against the Demon King.

They failed to slay the Demon King, but they succeeded in working together to seal her away.

However, Lucas was certain that the Demon King would one day be resurrected, and he left behind the Hero's Journey for the heroes of the future.

Now, 500 years have passed.

The seal is gradually weakening, and anomalies are occurring across the continent, such as distorted mana and an increase in the number of monsters.

The world is beginning to fall under the shadow of destruction once again.

Hero's Journey (勇者行)

The Hero's Journey is a succession ritual created by the first Hero Lucas to select the hero of the future.

It is not a simple test, but a long pilgrimage across the world to prove one's worth, and the only path to becoming a true Hero recognized by the world.

Challengers must visit five regions and receive trials from the Guardian of each region.

Those who overcome the trials and receive the Guardian's recognition are granted the Crest of that region, and only those who collect all five crests are considered to have completed the Hero's Journey.

Those who complete the Hero's Journey earn the right to break the seal of the Holy Sword Eos, which is sealed at the World Tree Arberia, and are proclaimed as true Heroes recognized by the world.

Furthermore, only those who possess all five crests can pass through the Sealed Gate leading to Netherthrone and are granted the right to face the Demon King.
