Background Story

In the peaceful world of Inferia, warm-hearted people live in harmony and the land overflows with natural abundance. In a corner of this world where a strange technology called "Craymels" are used to manipulate various physical phenomena, a young hunter named Reid and his childhood friend Farah were quietly looking up into the sky. Up above them was another world, though they could never reach it on their own. “What sort of people might live there? What sort of customs might they have? Perhaps we'll never be able to set foot on that strange land and see for ourselves...
