Farland Saga I Saturn Tribute

What Will the Boy Witness at the End of Battle?

In the secluded island of Entrich, away from the continental shores, an uneasy truce exists among three distinct realms: the technologically advanced Yohk, the agrarian monarchy Barth, and Thulk, a self-governing domain ruled by demonic entities.

Leon and Ralph, orphaned during a devastating conflict, were brought up by the knight Brian and have since honed their abilities as formidable fighters.

One fateful day, I found myself participating in a trilateral peace gathering in the city of Barth, but little did I know that this peaceful event would be disrupted by an unforeseen disaster, leaving the already delicate relationships among the three nations in ruins.

Escaping with a blameless princess who was falsely accused, these individuals found themselves labeled as outlaws.

Or,

These individuals escaped along with a princess wrongly implicated in a crime, branded traitors by those who did not know the truth.

Thus begins an escape that will ultimately decide the fate of the world.

Seamless Transitions from Fully Voiced Drama to Tactical Battles

Beyond just movie interludes, the whole narrative takes place on a battlefield viewed at a 25% scale, creating an incredibly engaging and immersive atmosphere.

Or, in another way:

Instead of only seeing scenes from movies, the entire plot occurs on a miniaturized battlefield, offering an exceptionally captivating and immersive journey.

Characters interact via chat boxes and hand-drawn images, exchanging both grave and humorous discussions, and transitioning smoothly from dialogue to strategic combat scenes.

At your instruction, their voyage shall be narrated in a story destined to become timeless and legendary someday.

A Fiery Explosion of Magic! The Adventure of Karin the Mage Begins!

Entrich.

As a fervent admirer looking back, I can now say with heartfelt relief that the scars left by the tumultuous battle which gripped this enchanting isle eight years ago have at last begun to fade. The once fractured connection between our island and the mainland is now rekindled, as travel between them blossoms anew.

A lone girl boards a ship bound for the mainland.

Her name is Karin.

Having recently lost her grandfather, she now stands alone in the world.

Before his grave, she makes a bold vow:

“I’m going to make a name for myself on the mainland!”

Her destination is Attracta, one of the mainland’s most prosperous trading cities.

What fate awaits her as she embarks on her journey as an adventurer?

From Everyday Life to Battle! More Humor, Faster Combat!

The story revolves around the Adventurers’ Guild in Attracta, where Karin and her group frequently stumble into a myriad of humorous predicaments – a significant increase in humor compared to the initial game!

Combat has been optimized for speed, making battles more engaging and accessible.

Each day unfolds a fresh, exhilarating experience for me as I traverse terrain like never before – mountains, mines, seas, and even the highest rooftops! The variety of battlefields is astounding. It’s an endless journey brimming with excitement!
