Synopsis
Fallen Divine King Kall-Su conquers; samurai and priestess resist, seeking a legendary sorcerer tied to past and future salvation.
In a world where darkness threatens to consume all, the balance of power has shifted dramatically. Kall-Su, once among the legendary Four Divine Kings, now stands poised to reshape the world according to his vision. As his influence spreads across lands and nations, a brave resistance emerges in the form of noble samurai warriors, guided by the wisdom of high priestess Yoko Tia Noto. From their stronghold, these defenders of humanity face increasingly dire challenges as Kall-Su's forces grow ever stronger. In these desperate times, whispers speak of a legendary figure whose power once turned the tides of fate itself - a sorcerer of immense capability whose connection to the present crisis runs deeper than anyone realizes. As the conflict intensifies, the key to salvation may lie in uncovering secrets that bridge past and present, hope and despair.
