◆ Story Synopsis ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Once upon a time, the founder of alchemy led people from a dying world to a new land.

In this fertile and harmonious land where man-made "Gods of Creation" act as guardians, humans lead a peaceful existence.

However, a long time has since passed, and the "Dust" of death began to engulf Arcaus.

Gods gone mad to become heinous "Gods of Misfortune" and begin to devour the world, and ash demons born of dust bare their fangs at the living.

Like burnt pieces of paper and worm-eaten clothes, the world finds itself in an era where the earth was being eroded by the ashes.

The people were not entirely unprepared, however.

Alchemists who wished to carry on the miracles brought upon by its founder gather at the Cagliostro Academy, a school boasting the highest levels of wisdom.

Among them is another—a young alchemist who knocks on the doors of the academy with aspirations in mind.

◆ Game Features ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

●An RPG set in an academy for alchemists

Oblivion is a natural disaster that is set to destroy the world.

The protagonist enters the Cagliostro Academy to learn and master the art of combat. And in a school where many alchemists gather, the protagonist of the story accumulates experience through research, study, and love. This is a story of an alchemist who carves out his own path, growing through his encounters and experiences.

●The world's guardians, "Gods", and the "Dust" that threaten them.

The world is controlled by a number of man-made gods. However, the "Dust," an entity that calls for destruction, not only turns everything in its path into dust, but also contaminates the gods, turning them heinous. With this, alchemists are forced to deal with former gods that have now been turned into guiding forces of misfortune.

---------------------------

●Make a pact with the great Origin and save the world!

The Origin are five gods of varying attributes who serve as the pinnacle of all gods. 

--------------------

●Equip this and become stronger. Crests are a testament of your contract with the gods

You can obtain a crest or crystals that contain the power of the gods by making a contract with them.

Crests can be equipped with personal weapons known as ether gear. This gives the alchemists additional blessings of various skills.

As you explore Arcaus, you can build trusting relationships with various gods to help your allies get stronger.

●The Philosopher's Stone and corruption from the dust will determine your fate.

With the Philosopher's Stone in his body, the protagonist is able to convert dust and ash into energy.

However, the more he uses his powers, the more contamination accumulates in his body. And if left unchecked, the contamination will eventually become a disaster that could change the fate of the protagonist.
