Arc 1: Lands of Rodenius:

Intermission Chapter

"Everyone has their own nightmares. Fortunately, the darkest horrors are always locked up inside the human mind. Never had the chance to be freed and manifest into reality. The curse that had been dormant in this region had now awakened. Every time I pass by this land, I always feel this pitifulness for the folks, who are still oblivious of its tragic past. The evil arose from the injustice and murders of the innocent men, resulting in the ruin of countless settlements and even claimed its latest victims, and the nightmare persisted for hundreds of years."

"May the souls of the departed and involved in this senseless slaughter, be at rest."

"May the Gods have mercy and give blessings to the people who would stumble and settle upon this land."

"For they do not know what they are doing."
