An Uncharted World Awaits
The adventure begins at the WNA Academy when a mysterious stranger manipulates the protagonist into breaking the Forbidden Seal. As the entire Academy is transported across the stars to a strange planet, the sinister Prime Tetrad of the Xenos Army is simultaneously unleashed. Now stranded on an uncharted world, the protagonist must work together with their allies to find their way back home to Earth, uncovering their own destiny that lies dormant deep within them along the way.
