The story of Great War was becoming a bedtime fairy tales. The land of Bersia seemed to in peace while four countries are mending their wounds from the war. However, a history has a tendency to repeat itself all over again.

Responding to this foul act, Hironeiden declares a war against evil Vellond and start their invasion on Hexter. Soon after, Ecclesia jumped into the war in the name of protecting the Sacred Land.
