The story begins

There was once a peaceful village, lost somewhere in the woods, near a lake and mountains. The birds used to sing, fairy used to come by, the sun used to rise every day, everything was great. Everything was fine. But one day, a dark force we still know very little about emerged. We call it Nightmare.

Since it appeared, the peaceful creatures we knew became hostile, their eyes became dark and they started attacking us. This was a long time ago, way before my birth. Today everything is sad, today nothing is fine. This morning again I had to protect the very same village against a terrific ogre that took away two of my friends. I am sick of this world. Fortunately there is hope. And this hope lives in you. We've spent a lot of time studying the enemies, defending against their attacks and grieffing the perished. You have come today to become a part of this fight, and become a member of our alliance. It is time for you, for us, to counter attack and avenge our fallen soldiers.

Today marks the beginning of your adventure to become the hero we all need. But today, is also your first day and all I see is a bunch of sissies wanting fame that will die during their first fight. I am your instructor, Mr. Hartman and you are here to prove me I am wrong. In the Shadow Wood nerby live several monsters that Nightmare have possessed. One of them, their leader, lives deep in the forest.

Hand me his head and I might consider training you into a classed soldier. You are the bastion 407, the 407th generation formed to fight against the Nightmare and defeat it.
