A World Reborn in Fire Name: A World Reborn in Fire Difficulty: Epic (Z-Rank Epic SL) Participants: Himura, Tōga Story: After months of tireless investigation into the strange happenings that have plagued Tōga, the dragon slayer finally stumbles upon a pivotal lead in his search for his adoptive dragon father, Choryrth. The once seemingly unconnected dots - the inferno at Ironrust Village, the devastating storms on Luluhawa Island - now form a chilling pattern, suggesting a malevolent force orchestrating these events. Whispers speak of a secluded island off Joya's eastern coast, a haven for a secretive cult devoted to the sun goddess Amaterasu. They prepare for the advent of her earthly embodiment, consuming and consumed by flames. Tōga, recognizing the echoes of Choryrth's immense power in these descriptions, becomes increasingly certain that the cult's deity and his missing father are one and the same. The cult, known as the "Sun Painting Hand", is a fortress of secrets. Tōga, a warrior of cunning and skill, understands that brute force won't suffice. He must infiltrate their ranks, a lone infiltrator amidst a sea of fanatics. It's a dangerous game of deception, balancing his thirst for answers with the constant risk of exposure. Time is not on his side. The cult's plans are nearing their climax. Tōga, burdened by the weight of his mission, steels himself for the trials ahead. He is a lone warrior facing an army of shadows, but his resolve is unwavering. Will he find Choryrth? Can he stop the impending catastrophe the cult seems hell-bent on unleashing? The path forward is shrouded in mystery and danger. Will Tōga emerge victorious, or will he become another victim of the cult's dark machinations? The answers lie hidden within the enigmatic Sun Painting Hand, waiting to be discovered. Tōga's journey is far from over, and the choices he makes now will determine his fate and the fate of countless others. Rewards: Jewels, Sp & Mystic Custom Creation Ticket (New Magic) Objective:
Lore Implications: Toga's journey will culminate in a cataclysmic event, leaving the island consumed by an inferno and reduced to nothingness. A colossal chasm will be carved into the ocean, its depths eternally parched as the surrounding waters rush in, a relentless cycle of evaporation and refilling. Furthermore, the primary antagonist emerging from this narrative has the potential to become a formidable raid boss for a future event, subject to approval. |
