History
For many eras, this world had prospered by virtue of the miraculous 'Spring'.
Yet now it is on the brink of destruction. The King who controlled the power of the Spring had suddenly died, and, at the same time, the Spring had dried up.
To save their dying world, the Queen tells her daughter of an ancient prophecy:
'When the Spring loses its power and the world goes towards destruction, heroes from other worlds will arrive. The Heroes will share their power with the shrines and revive the Spring. And the one who leads the Heroes will be crowned as the new monarch and restore glory to the world.'
Following her mother's words, Princess Tamaki tries to perform the ceremony to call heroes from different worlds.
However, something goes wrong and the heroes end up scattered across the land.
And then,
In front of each of these displaced and disoriented heroes, strangers appear asking for their help.
It is not only Tamaki who seeks the help of the heroes. There are scions of the royal family, all of whom have their own reasons for aiming to ascend to the throne.
Eventually, the heroes are divided into three separate groups, forced to fight on opposing sides.
