Fragile order struggles amidst chaos; the arrogant empire brings forth the calamities of old. A soul not belonging to this era opens its eyes once again: castles and towering spires, desire and slaughter, war and magic-the mysterious cards awaken ancient powers, and the destined apocalypse slowly approaches...
Amidst the turmoil, as empires clash and the fabric of reality frays, forgotten legends resurface. The awakening soul finds itself in a world teetering on the edge of ruin. Majestic castles stand against the horizon, their shadows cast over lands steeped in conflict. Towering high above, they are both beacons of hope and harbingers of despair.
Desire fuels ambition, leading to acts of valor and deeds of darkness. Slaughter becomes commonplace as war ravages the nations, and the arcane arts weave through the battlefield, blurring the line between the tangible and the mystical. In the midst of this chaos, mysterious cards emerge, each one a relic imbued with the power to alter fate itself.
These enchanted cards awaken the old powers, summoning forces long thought to be mere myths. Heroes and villains alike seek them, driven by purposes noble and nefarious. As the prophecy foretold, the destined apocalypse draws ever nearer, its shadow looming over all. Time is running out, and the world's only hope lies in unraveling the secrets of the past before it's too late.
