After collapsing in the middle of a journey, the bewildered protagonist awakens to the sound of someone screaming for help.

All around them rise the trees of an unfamiliar forest, and they realize they’ve forgotten everything but their own name.

Another scream brings them to their senses. The protagonist rushes toward the voice and saves a young girl from a monster attack. They return her safely to Rigbarth, a quiet frontier town surrounded by great natural beauty. There they receive a warm welcome from the friendly residents and decide to join SEED, the local peacekeeping organization, until their memories return. Thus begins their new life as a ranger who protects Rigbarth from threats great and small.

One day, they receive a special mission: discover what’s disrupted the region’s flow of rune energy...
