In a world where the bones of an ancient beast tower over the land...

Zephy, a young warrior, is part of a respected group whose role is to hunt and kill witches – a group of people cursed with the affliction of giving birth to dragons. When he is almost killed on one of these hunting missions, two mysterious witches save him from the brink of death by feeding him the blood of a dragon.

Granted new magic abilities thanks to their efforts, he soon finds his fate intertwined with that of the witches and reluctantly joins them to fight against the Empire he once served, vicious dragon hunters, and a witch more powerful than any in existence.

Can they fight against all of this and save themselves, or will his new allies succumb to the dragon’s curse?

The Dragon Core system allows players to devour dragons and obtain special skills that can be used during battle. Giant Boss Battles are another exciting feature where you and your party battles against monstrous dragons!

Dragon Core - During battle, players can eat a dragon using the Devour Skill. Once the dragon is eaten, you obtain its Dragon Core - a skill tree that grants characters new skills and bonuses. The Dragon Core is a unique system that allows players to explore 126 possible Dragon Core combinations! Whenever you select the dragon to devour, there is a success rate percentage of devouring. Weaken the enemy to increase your chances! Be sure to use different party members, because each Dragon Core devoured will only be available to the party member who successfully devoured the enemy.

Giant Boss Battle - Prepare yourself against a giant dragon battle where dragons take up all three tiers! Focus attacks on specific body parts to disable the body part's attacks and even temporarily knock out bosses to change the tide of battle!
