Purgatory—a land infested with monsters, a place where the wisdom of numerous lost worlds sleeps.
Humanity, harnessing this buried knowledge and the technology it reclaimed from the ashes, built enormous ships that soar through the skies and revived the souls smoldering in the depths of the earth as fearless warriors.
All to survive in this harsh world.
