SF1 Chapter 1

		Introduction

About 1000 years ago...

It was a time when pure souls were called "light" and evil souls were called "dark".
Dark Dragon, the incarnation of dark, destroyed and slaughtered again and again.
At the end of the grand battle with the Gods, Dark Dragon was at last captured.
And so, it was sealed in the depths of the earth at the hands of the Gods.
"I WILL DEFINITELY BE RESURRECTED IN 1000 YEARS..."
And so, time has passed and the legend has been forgotten.
The people enjoyed an era of peace that lasted for what seemed an eternity.
However, tearing that tranquility,
the great kingdom of Runefaust in the East suddenly commenced their advance.
The people, trembling in fear,
waited hopefully for a savior who would oppose this power.


		Game Start

[Book girl:]
... Listen. 1000 years have passed since then.
No matter what, this evil power must not be revived.
In order to prevent that, we have brought up a lineage for protecting the seal.
That is you [plural].
Woah! What will happen from now on? Uhm, uhm...
Ahh!! Welcome! If you're looking for Grandpa, he went out.
But I think he'll be coming back soon...
Eh? This book? Well! It's of a story from a long, long time ago that is handed down in the continent of Rune.
That's right! If it's all right with you, read this book to me until Grandpa comes back!

[New game]
Which one will you read?
Hey, hey, what kind of name does the main character of this story have?
So he's called Max-san. That sounds so cool!
Well then, read quickly! Quickly, quickly!

[Continue]
So you'll read the continuation from earlier!
Which continuation will you read?
Woah! I can't wait! Read to me quickly!

[Delete]
Eh, is that so... Which one will you erase?
Hey, will you really erase it?
Okay, it's gone now.

[Copy]
Which one will you copy?
Where will you copy it to then?
Okay, it's been copied now.

[Cancel]
Oh, so you're stopping.

[Returning to options]
Hey, hey, quickly, read, read!


		Chapter 1
		The Runefaust Army's Invasion

	Varios intro

[Varios:]
Now then, Max-dono, strike with all your strength from anywhere you like!
I, I've lost! Do not forget how you breathed just now.
Let's take a break here. It's perhaps my age, but I've been getting tired easily recently...

[respeaking with Varios:]
Another match, you say? Please don't tease an old man so much.

[Lowe:]
Amazing, Max! You fought on par with Sir Varios[-sama]!
Yeah, it's really amazing! I've made friends with an unbelievable guy.

[Varios:]
Max-dono, you truly are strong. I wonder if you had once been a fine swordsman in some country.
Although it would be great if Guardiana could officially welcome you as a knight...

[soldier:]
Varios-sama, actually...

[Varios:]
What!? Is that the truth!? ...Understood.
Max-dono, I'm terribly sorry. It seems it is already time I return to the castle.
Let's shed sweat again in our practice tomorrow too.

[Lowe:]
You see that? The color on Varios-sama's face. It was pale! You think something bad happened?
I'm going to go check  on how things are at the castle. You come soon too!


	In town

[priest:]
If it isn't Max-dono. I had a mysterious dream last night.
Do you know what kind of dream it was?

[yes]
Hoh, as expected of you, Max-dono. That's right. It was of the time I first met you.

[no]
So not even Max-dono possesses the power to read people's minds.
I had a dream of the time I first met you.

[after either answer]
Lowe discovered you, collapsed on the beach... It has already been 1 year since then...
Taking in you, who had lost all your memories, might also be God's guidance.

[respeaking with the priest:]
Max-dono, you are worried about Varios-dono, aren't you? If so, then how about going to the castle?
Various-dono is your sword teacher. Go lend him your strength.

[bookshelf in the church on the left]
"The Path to Becoming a Swordmaster"
"Warrior's Knowledge"
There are various books lined up.

[bookshelf in the church on the right]
"The Legend of Light and Darkness"
"The Era of the Gods"
There are various books lined up.

[woman at the church:]
That assistant's grandfather, his forgetfulness has been getting worse recently, but I guess there's no helping it because of his age.

[old man at the church:]
There's no need to worry about losing memories. Every human is the same.
Everyone forgets things when they age. Happy things, bitter things, everyone forgets about them. [he speaks in some old man accent which I do not know how to convey]

[guard in front of the church:]
I also want to receive Varios-sama's sword training! ... is what I think, but,
I'm busy with church security and can't really do as I'd like... I envy you, Max-sama...

[old man on the path to the castle:]
I'd like to go to Manarina. I'd like to become a mage by studying in that land.

[woman on the path to the castle:]
Just ahead is Guardiana Castle. It's small, but it's a historic and fine castle.
Besides that, it's just a rumor, but I heard there's some amazing treasure in there. It has to be a jewel, right?

[man below item shop:]
You know, my cart is a bit dangerous since it easily starts rolling.
I'll have to send it out for repairs soon.

[man in the path of the cart:]
That hurt! You outsider! You're going to pay the next time you do this!

[dog]
Grr, woof! Woof!

[woman inside the house with a dog outside:]
If it's about Grandpa Gort, he's hanging out the bar since it's daytime and I really hate it.

[woman in the basement of the same house:]
Our Grandpa was once the best warrior of the kingdom. But now he's just a loafer.

[bookshelf inside the same house on the ground level]
"The Warrior's Code"
"All about Weapons"
There are various books lined up.

[bookshelf inside the same house in the basement]
"How to Use a Hand Axe"
"Hunt for the Axe of Legend"
There are various books lined up.

[man in the house next to the shop:]
The wife's terribly worried about our daughter. Although I don't care... Hah, there are so many unendurable troubles once one gets married. You have it easy single.

[woman in the same house:]
Something's wrong with our daughter. Just what could it be?

[girl in the same house:]
Sniff, sniff. ...I, I had a very scary dream.
Everyone was on fire in the town. At our home too, everyone was on fire. Aaah, it really was scary.

[bookshelf in the same house:]
"Discipline of Children"
"Housekeeping Book"
There are various books lined up.

[sign on the inn]
"Guardiana Hotel
Wholehearted hospitality!"

[innkeeper:]
Please listen. This is weird. Guests haven't been coming at all recently!
Even though this inn was thriving until just a while ago, it hasn't been at all recently...

[town exit guard on the left:]
On order from the castle, nobody may pass through here.

[town exit guard on the right:]
Ah, sorry! In truth, I don't want to do this, but...
It's an order from the castle. "Nobody may leave!", it says. I'm really sorry.

[man below the bar:]
I saw a lot of goblins on the road to the ancient gate. It was scary...

[sign on the bar]
"Bar
... Mandragora Wine Nouveau have arrived today."

[barkeeper:]
That old guy over there's obstinate, so it'd be better to not pay too much attention to him.
I hear he's a bother to the people at his home. He does nothing but complain every day so he's a bother to me too.

[Gort:]
Hey there, youngster. I'm a drunkard called Gort. Won't you have a talk with me?

[no]
Is that so? Well, if you're busy then there's no helping it, is there. You have your own circumstances.

[yes]
Is that so? This makes me happy. Ah, really, when you get this old, you just start complaining.
I was being a big bother to the people at home and so, I ended up drinking here.
Oh, do you still want to listen to me?

[yes]
Even though I look like this, I used to be a fine warrior. I had performed many feats.
It's been peaceful lately, so I've lost my place... Ah, sorry, for keeping you here.
Everyone's become against me, so when there was finally someone kind, I started to want to talk.

[sign on the shop]
"Weapon and Item Shop"

[weapon seller:]
What a surprise. Welcome. What would you like? ... is what I would like to ask, but...
See, it's been peaceful lately. Even if I have items for fighters and travelers, they don't sell at all.
... Haa, I shouldn't have started a business.

[item seller:]
My boss has lost his motivation. If you're fine with just items, I'll sell.

[guard inside the house below the shop:]
If it isn't Max-dono!
You should be careful. Those guys from the knights are jealous of your skill with the sword.

	At the castle area

[guard in front of headquarters:]
This is headquarters. ... It's where warriors make their preparations for battle. People with no business here may not enter.

[entrance guards:]
This is Guardiana Castle!

[guard near the knights:]
This is the knights' training field. You shouldn't get too close...

[knight 1:]
As if a proud knight of Guardiana would speak face to face to some nobody and stranger! Hmpf.

[knight 2:]
Eeei, chesto! Hmm, it's all about the yell... [chesuto seems to be some meaningless yell used by fighters]

[knight 3:]
Teyaaah! Teyaaah! One more, teyaaah! Whew, training is wears me out.

[knight 4:]
Battles haven't been happening lately... Are we knights still really needed?

[knight 5:]
Although it's something I heard from a traveling merchant, it seems the great eastern kingdom of Runefaust is aiming for our kingdom...
... Well, it's just a rumor.

[knight 6:]
Some among the knights lack manners. I'm really sorry...
They are caught up in their pride and have their eyes clouded. I'm worried about when it'd come to a real battle.

[old man in the house to the left:]
I've taken care of the king ever since he was a child.
But even so, the king hasn't been confiding in me about anything. Hmm, I'm really sad.
I've heard rumors that the king is worried about something. Do you know anything?

[no]
Humpf, so you really don't know... Personally, I think he's been worrying about the ancient gate...

[yes]
You don't have to be so compassionate. There's no way you could know the king's worries.

[Mae:]
Greetings, I am the knight Mae, Varios's daughter.
So you are Max...
Do not be so full of yourself just because you are receiving sword teachings from Father. After all, you're an outsider!

[guard near treasure room:]
Protecting treasure is very hard. It's really stressful. ... I want a change of shift faster!
Eh? What kind of treasure, you ask? Hmm... I don't know. It must be something important.

[guard inside the treasure room:]
.....

[after pushing him]
Hahaha! This world isn't as simple as to have things simply work out with brute force!

[knight in a room inside the castle:]
Hey, you, what do you want! Bystanders shouldn't enter the castle!

[old man inside the tower:]
The view from the highest point of this tower is magnificent. One can see everything from there.
Eh? What about below, you ask? Hmm, I don't really know about the room below.

[mage in the room below:]
You're interested in this room? Everyone wants to know about this room.
However, all I know is their name, "machine".
If it were the mages of Manarina, maybe they would know something...

[searching telescope from the side]
There is nothing unusual in particular. [it seems the JP version only shows the message that appears when searching nothing while the EN version displays something different]

[old man atop the tower:]
Hmm, oh my! Hmm, oh my!

[looking into the telescope]
"Max looks into the telescope!"
It, it's an eyeball monster!
... Hmm?

[respeaking with the old man:]
Ooh, so that was Max-dono. I was engrossed by my homemade telescope and hadn't noticed.
I'm the one who made it, hmm. It's an item I'm really proud of that can see really far. ... By the way, Max-dono.
I've been seeing a lot of figures near the ancient gate lately... Just who are they?

[maid on the left in the room in the left of the castle:]
This is princess Anri's room.
The princess is currently studying in Manarina. Do you know about Manarina?

[no]
Manarina, you know, is the land of the mages. There are many amazing mages there. It's a large country of magic!
When the princess comes back from studying there, she'll make a magic school in this kingdom!

[yes]
Ooh, you're quite knowledgeable. I like people like that!

[maid on the right in the same room:]
Aagh, it makes me so angry! Don't you agree? Don't you? Don't you?

[no]
... How mean. I haven't even said anything yet...

[yes]
That's right! Listen to me for a bit! It's that new maid. There's a girl called Tao.
Thanks to her magical talents, she became a schoolmate of Anri-sama and is now a court mage!
And yet I am still a maid...

[bookshelf 1 in the same room]

[bookshelf 4]
...
There are difficult books lined up.

[old woman in the king's room:]
What is it? If you stay there, you'll be a hindrance to the cleaning! I'm a busy person, you know!
The king has a lot of troubles, so I want to at least make his room sparkling clean and let him rest well!

	Throne room events

[king:]
... and that's how it is, Varios.

[Varios:]
Mmhmm... Then, your majesty, there's no choice but to have Max-dono...
Ooh, Max-dono, you've come at a good time. I was just about to go call for you. First, listen to what the king has to say.

[speaking to anyone in the room other than the king]
First, listen to what the king has to say.

[king:]
If it isn't Max-dono! Actually, there is something bothering me. I had wanted to consult with you.
Lately, there have been many who say they have seen suspicious figures at the ancient gate to the east of this castle...
The ancient gate is a sacred place. The legacy of the Gods is sealed there. We cannot overlook it at this rate.
However, if we mobilize the knights, the people would be put in unnecessary unrest.

[Varios:]
Max-dono, we want you to take a few people with you and head to the ancient gate as their leader. I feel ashamed to ask something like this of you, but...

[Nova:]
The ancient gate... It is said to have been on the continent of Rune since the era of the Gods.
It is also said that the legacy of the Gods is sealed inside the closed gate...
Protecting that legacy is the ultimate mission entrusted to the kingdom of Guardiana.

[king:]
I have just now consulted with Varios. He recommended you as someone suitable for this mission.
I am relieved since it's a recommendation by Varios. I want to, by all means, entrust to you the investigation of the ancient gate!
How about it, are you up for it?

[no]
What! You say you aren't up for it!? Mmhmm... there's no helping it if it's what you think.

[respeaking to the king:]
I ask of you once more, Max-dono. Won't you go to the ancient gate?

[yes]
Is that so! So you are up for it! Well then, gather your companions in town. Then, come back here once again.

	After the throne room events

[king:]
Gather your companions quickly. You can't leave without preparing properly.

[Varios:]
I'm counting on you, Max-dono! As for me, I have to guard the castle.

[Nova just gives the same ancient gate explanation as he did earlier]

[man with a green cape next to the king:]
I'd never trust someone of unknown birth like you. Hmpf, one can tell from a glance you have the face of a lowborn.

[old woman in the king's room]
Ahh, you are Max-san? I heard you've been chosen by the king to go investigate the ancient gate?
But you musn't overdo it. If you even get injured, I'm sure your mother would be sad.

[knight in the room on the right of the castle:]
I heard about it! That someone like you being entrusted an important mission!
Just what are the king and Varios-sama thinking...? I can't agree with this!
The subordinate knights slacking off due to this would be bad. All right, let's begin the training at once!

[the knight, once outside:]
Eeeey! Put in more strength! Ey, ey, eeey! More! More!

[other knights:]
Ey, ey, ey!

	Events once back in town

[Luke/Lug/Lugh:]
We've heard about if from Nova-sama. We're going with you too.
I'm the warrior Luke. I'll go wherever as long as there is a battle.

[Ken:]
I am the knight Ken. I'm still an apprentice, but I'll try my best.
I... I respect you, Max-san! ... But it keep a secret from Mae-san.

[Tao:]
I'm the mage Tao. I'm still in the middle of training, but I'll give it my all.

[Hans:]
I am Hans, an elven archer. But I'm at a loss... I'm not very good at fighting.
But since it's an order from the king... I'll follow you!

"Lugh, Ken, Tao, and Hans have joined the party!"

[Lugh:]
Well then, we'll be waiting at headquarters at the castle!

[Lowe:]
Max, I heard about it! You're going to the ancient gate? Then I'm going too! I'm sure I'll be of use!

"Lowe has joined the party!"

[Nova:]
So you've gathered your companions. The king awaits.
I forgot to mention it, but I'm also joining the investigation. The king had also desired that.
I cannot participate in battle, but I shall be of use as a tactician.

[Lowe:]
Eh, Nova-sama is coming? If so, it'll be of tremendous help!
Nova-sama, let's go. Well then, we'll be waiting at headquarters.

	Back at the castle

[king:]
Ooh, so you've gathered your companions. Well then, make your preparations with this.

"Max obtained 100 gold coins!"

There should be a cart when you leave town. It will take you to the ancient gate.

[respeaking with the king:]
I'm counting on you, Max. I believe in you.

[man with a green cape:]
I'll say it no matter how many times it takes. I do not believe in you even one bit!

[Mae now only says the last part of what she said earlier, without her introduction]

	Back in town

[entrance guard on the left:]
I've heard from the king. Be careful and good luck.

[entrance guard on the right:]
Things are getting serious. Don't overdo it. If it gets dangerous, please withdraw.
You should use the Return spell. ["Egress" is originally "Return"]

[priest:]
So you are going to the ancient gate? Evil lingers in that vicinity...
Please be very careful. I shall pray that nobody gets hurt.
now then, is there anything for which I can be of use?

[respeaking to the priest after that:]
Stray lamb! Thank you for coming to our church! We shall grant your wishes in the name of God and Light!

[leaving the priest:]
Well then, be careful. May the Light be with you!

	Before battle 01

[Lowe:]
What's with them? ... Th, they're goblins!

[Tao:]
That knight's outfit... Isn't that a knight of Runefaust!?

[Rune knight:]
Goblins and dwarves! Hurry! Find the key to the seal!
Hurry up! We'll be able to enter the ancient castle if we just open this gate!
Isn't it hidden around there? ...!?
Wh, who are you!? Blast it! So we've been noticed by those fools from Guardiana!

[everyone, during the earthquake]
W, woaaah!

[Rune knight:]
W, what was with that earthquake just now!
Well, whatever... Let's search in peace after we dispose of them. Go, you goblins!

	After battle 01

[Rune knight:]
... So you think you've won...? ... Hahaha, hahaha!
Kain-sama of Runefaust has invaded Guardiana...
By now, your kingdom should have... Long live Ramladu-sama!

[Nova:]
If we take what that Rune knight said just now to be true... This is terrible, Max-dono!
Let us hurry back to Guardiana!

	Before battle 02

[Nova:]
Max-dono, the road is blocked due to the earthquake just now.
... It seems there are enemies. We will have to go through the mountain road on the north side!

[Rune knight:]
Do not let anyone enter Guardiana until Kain-sama discovers a lead!
Everyone, strengthen our defenses!

[Dwarf:]
Uoooooh!

[Dwarf:]
Uoooooh!

	At the hut

[J/Yogurt:]
...

[Gong:]
I am a monk and my name is Gong. I have traveled from far away in search of the old man in this hut.
I was thinking of studying under him, but I will leave it for another time.
I cannot turn a blind eye while those of righteous hearts fight. I shall fight alongside you!

"Gong has joined the party!"

Now then, I shall go to where your companions are.

[old man inside the hut:]
Rarely do we have guests so far in the mountain. Mmhmm, is there not something troubling you?
Although I may not look it now, I was once the priest of a church... If there is anything I can do, do say so.

[woman inside the hut:]
I notice strange creatures around the hut recently... It gives me the creeps...

	At Alterone/Altarone

[guard:]
Who are you!? Now, go back to your own land!

	After battle 02

[Nova:]
The enemies have all been defeated. I'm worried about Guardiana. Now, let us make haste!

	Back in Guardiana

[guard:]
It's terrible! The Runefaust army suddenly invaded!
We fought desperately and somehow drove them away, but...
The damage on our side is great and almost all of the knights were done in...
We will defend this place. Please protect the castle. There might still be enemies there.

[entrance guard on the left:]
We will defend this place. We will leave the castle to you. We fear that there are still enemies there...

[entrance guard on the right:]
Are your companions still outside? We will send out a messenger and have them wait at headquarters.
Max-sama, you are to please go take a look at the state of the castle.

[innkeeper:]
Oh my, that was surprising... Soldiers in armor suddenly showed up!
They ran about wildly and went in the direction of the castle.

[guard in the house to the right of the inn:]
Uugh, I'd heard the rumors, but... That Kain... of Runefaust!
That guy's a monster! Even though we all fought... we were of no match at all...

[old man walking around the item shop:]
I was about to stand against the enemy, but I got scared and couldn't do anything...
If this keeps up, I won't be able to study adequately at Manarina even if I went there, will I?

[weapon shopkeeper:]
Runefaust has made me really mad too! Here, take a look at these goods!
I want to be of help to you so I frantically gathered these together. Now then, why don't we start doing business!

[item shopkeeper:]
I want to beat on them, but I'm not very good at fighting. All I can do is sell items.

[man in the house to the left of the shop:]
This place was also attacked, but I didn't run. After all, this house is my castle.

[man in front of that house:]
This was an awful experience... You be careful as much as possible too.

[woman in the basement of the house past the bridge:]
Aaah, Mother was... Sob, sob... Why... This is too cruel... too cruel...
Even Grandpa Gort couldn't save her...

[dog:]
Whine, whine

[barkeeper:]
The soldiers of Runefaust attacked this place too! I might've been killed too...
But, but! This old man chased the soldiers away!

[Gort:]
The Runefaust army messed this town up... Not just that, but even my family...
But I can't do anything with my strength alone...
Please! Have me join you! I want to beat these guys up no matter what!

"Gort has joined the party!"

Now then, I'll be going to headquarters and waiting for you.

[guard by the church's entrance:]
This church has somehow been kept protected. What? An injury like this is nothing ser...
Ow, owowowow. ...Ahem. I'm fine. It is nothing serious!

[woman inside the church:]
Just what happened? I could see buildings burning and hear a lot of screams.

[old man inside the church:]
I had always been thinking about you... ... What had I been thinking about, you ask?
When comes the time to leave this country, come back here once more. I will tell you then.

		Back at the castle area

[guard on the left by the entrance:]
The Runefaust army might still be lurking in the castle. Please be careful!

[guard on the right by the entrance:]
Enemy knights are inside the castle! That's what I was informed of. Please be really careful!

		Throne room events

[man with a green cape:]
It, it, it, it's terrible! Kain of Runefast has... injured the king and Varios....

[Varios:]
How many times must I tell you before you understand!? There is no such thing in this castle as a key to the seal!

[Kain:]
It would seem to be the case... However, the treasure of Guardiana has thus come into my possession...
This would make a fine present to Ramladu-sama.

[Varios:]
Uungh, don't get carried away! Leave the treasure and get out of this castle immediately!

[Kain:]
Sword of Darkness! Burn with the flames of hell!

[Varios:]
Gwaaaaaahh!!

"Varios died."

[Mae:]
Kyaaah, Father! I, I will not forgive you! ... Enemy of my father!

[Kain:]
Guardiana needs not be feared! Since the key to the seal is not here, I no longer have any business here!
... Farewell!

[Mae:]
This is terrible, Max! The king's condition!

[king:]
Ooh, so it is Max and Mae. Varios protected me, but my life is already...
Listen, young ones. The legacy of the Gods... What it is, even I do not know...
It is only from that ancient gate that it is possible to enter the Ancient Castle wherein the legacy sleeps...
The Emperor of Runefaust, Ramladu, is searching for the key to the seal for the purpose of opening the gate.
Should the key fall into his hands, the seal would someday be undone... and this continent of Rune... ruined!
I ask of you... Find the key to the seal before them... And dispose of it!
Daughter of Varios, Mae. I command you! Help Max.
Become a fine knight rivaling Varios.

[Mae:]
Your Majesty...

[king:]
I wish to tell this to my daughter Anri who is in Manarina... I will always be with you...
Be strong... and kind... ...

"The King of Guardiana died."

[Mae:]
Oo, uuu... Father... And even the king have...
Max!
Were you listening to the king's words?
Let's search for the key to the seal. So that such things do not happen again and for our revenge.

"Mae has joined the party!"

I heard what they were talking about. It seems they've headed to Altarone to look for the key to the seals.
I will be on standby at headquarters. Let's at once head to Altarone after you make preparations!

		After the throne room events

[man with a green cape:]
I, I was so scared... Kain... Just by having looked at those eyes, I could not even draw my sword in fear...

[maid on the left in the room at the left of the castle:]
If you are leaving on a journey, will you be going to Manarina?

[no]
Is that so? That's too bad...

[yes]
If so, then you can meet Anri-sama! She will surely be of help to you.

[maid on the right in the same room:]
I heard you're leaving on a journey? You're going to defeat those guys from Runefaust, huh...
Eh? Tao's going too? If so, then I want to tell her this. Good luck.

[old man in the house to the left:]
Is that so... The king... to be sent to Heaven before me... Oo, oo...

[girl in the same house:]
Een, een, I was so scared... My dream, my dream is turning real.

[woman in the same house:]
I wonder if my husband is all right... He stayed behind by himself to protect the house...

[guard on the left by the entrance:]
Good luck, Max-dono.

[guard on the right by the entrance:]
Please defeat Runefaust on our behalf!

[guard inside the treasure room:]
... It's, it's terrible! The treasure of Guardiana was stolen by force!
Please, Max-dono, get the treasure back!

[old woman in the king's room:]
... I heard about the king. Make sure to defeat them...
I won't forget about you.

[old man atop the tower:]
Kuh, for me, of all people, to not have noticed the Runefaust army's approach...
From now on, I must make telescopes that can see close too!

[mage in the basement:]
I heard you are going to look for the key to the seal? In that case, you should try asking the old man at the church.
I hear that he once was a knight. It seems he traveled all by himself every bit of land on the continent of Rune.

[guard by the entrance of the church:]
I too will splendidly protect this country in a way that rivals Max-dono!

[priest at the church:]
I have come to this realization. Guided by a great destiny, you depart on a journey...
And that journey is also a journey of searching for your memories. ... It'll be a difficult journey.
However, you musn't be disheartened! Much light will gather on the path you will walk on!

[woman at the church:]
Now that the King and Varios-sama have died, what will happen to this country? There's only God to rely on anymore.

[old man at the church:]
You have done well to have sought me. Won't you listen to have I have to say?

[no]
Is that so? Come again at any time.

[yes]
There is a legend that goes like this... Even now, there is an ancient Land of the Gods somewhere in this continent of Rune.
If you go there, you might understand this... "Legacy of the Gods". You would do well to remember about this.
