A profound distaste for existence drove Shigeru Yoshioka to seek a new beginning, a different form of life. He was a man marked by an uncommon lack of physical appeal, and his yearning for rebirth stemmed as much from his appearance as from…

On their first day in the city, Shigeru and his companions resolved to explore a dungeon, marking their initial foray into adventure.

Following his change, Seiji resolved to dismantle Kyoshiro’s gang of brigands.

Shigeru’s party journeyed toward Valleria, but determined to rest, they made camp at the midpoint of their travels.

Shigeru and Reeze intervened, preventing Reia from harming Seika. In response, Seika underwent a transformation, becoming an angel to aid Reia.

In Valleria, the group made their way to a casino. Afterward, Hall Master Kajita extended an invitation to Seika, asking her to participate in the Extra Stage.

Shigeru and Seika arrived at the casino's Extra Stage, their objective to unravel Kajita's purported "Liberation plan."

Shigeru and his team crashed into the battlefield, immediately confronted by the terrifying extent of Kajita's power.

Shigeru's thoughts remained fixed on Karina and the Ordnung Spear. Then, a figure materialized – a man bearing a striking resemblance to Shigeru's former employer.

Leah, an enigmatic applicant to Vis Bridge, appears to have ties to both Shigeru's history and the shadowy organization known as Ordnung Spear.

Karina began to execute her plan.

Seika offers Shigeru a sense of his place, a grounding in the world, and then he faces Karina in a direct confrontation.
