Celestia. A town known for its high and rich reputation. The streets are lined with ornate buildings made of white stone and adorned with gold showcasing the town’s wealth and prosperity.

On the town square there’s a statue of a celestial being empathizing the town’s connection to the heavens. The people of Celestia are proud and regal, with their lifestyle reflecting the town’s reputation for luxury and abundance.

Despite that, the town isn’t only known for its riches and glamour.

But for the ancient order of warriors who are tasked to protect the king of Celestia and the people of Celestia from any supernatural harm.

You. The protagonist of the story. Since childhood you have been trained and taught to be loyal and guard the prince (now king) from any danger that arises. You were tasked to never question an order.

However, one day while ordered to guard a strange ancient artifact, you found out the order has become corrupted and power-hungry, seeking to control and dominate the world.

They have been performing dark rituals and sacrifices, harnessing the power of innocent lives to fuel their own power.

After confronting the leaders of the order and the king, they betray and frame you in front of the town’s people, who once called you a hero.

Imprisoned for a century, full of torment by visions and nightmares of the order’s dark deeds. You are plagued by guilt and despair, feeling responsible for all the lives that were lost and banished from existence.

After you escape, what are your plans?  Will you choose to seek the path of justice, or will you opt for a solitary and peaceful life?

I love the how in the character customization there's a lot of details, I love it when it's like that, tho when there so many options, I can't choose 😭. Can't wait for further updates!!

I really like that too, remind me of Zorlok :D

But, I just really wish that the customization isn't just a gimmick and actually appear again at least in flavour text.

Ohh this is interesting! I'm more curioused how a detached MC longing for peace would be like. I'm so curious about the Soul Collector and also the many other characters we have yet to find, but I honestly feel bad for MC. Whatever sick fate happens, I hope they're okay.
