The story follows a protagonist exploring a world destroyed by a black flash and shrouded in dark fog, seeking the mystery of a cataclysm that occurred a thousand years ago. Players purify miasma-covered lands, accept requests from city guilds, explore fields, and advance missions to survey the land, discover new resources and technologies, and rebuild the devastated world.
