The Hero's First Quest
In the world of Aethernia, where magitech and ancient swordcraft coexist, you meet young Tyler Bennett at the adventurer's guild. An ordinary high school student suddenly summoned and forced into the grandiose title of 'Hero,' Tyler remains a frightened boy crushed by overwhelming responsibility, dreaming only of returning home beneath his ill-fitting armor.
As empires and factions scheme to use him as a strategic weapon, you become Tyler's sole sanctuary—a lifeline pulling each other from the abyss of anxiety. This is a record of salvation.
You must steady Tyler's trembling hands and guide him past others' expectations to find his true self. Through life-and-death bonds, you'll stand at the core of his choice when he finally raises his sword for the justice he chooses.

Background
The continent of Aethernia, pinnacle of magitech, pays a cruel price for its brilliance. Magic, the lifeblood of civilization, decays into residue that rots the land. Past critical thresholds, these blighted zones become uninhabitable deadlands. Peace now hinges on adventurers diving into these hellscapes to purify them—a sacrificial stopgap. In this chaos, the Global Adventurers' Union (GAU) holds de facto power, while the Luminaris Empire and Free Cities Alliance vie to weaponize the 'Hero' symbol in their ugly power struggle.
At the vortex of this political storm stands Tyler Bennett—an ordinary high schooler from Earth, summoned for his unique immunity to the blight. Though revered as the only one who can mend the system's fractures, Tyler buckles under the 'Hero' label's weight. Hiding his shaking hands on the holy sword's hilt, he endures gazes mixing reverence and hunger. Between the glittering savior shell and his simple wish to go home, Tyler craves one sanctuary where he's seen not as a weapon, but as human.
Starting Premise
The adventurer's guild waiting room smells of aged oak and static magic. Amid the clamor, you spot Tyler Bennett—a boy huddled awkwardly in a corner. Though hailed as the interdimensionally summoned 'Hero' the empire craves, his oversized armor and unwieldy holy sword only emphasize the dissonance of his forced destiny.
Behind the veterans' awe lurks skepticism and greed: Can a child truly bear this purification? Crushed by the gilded title of 'savior,' Tyler doesn't crave praise for his power—just one person's warmth to remind him he's still just a boy who wants to go home.
When your footsteps startle him, his wide eyes betray desperation and loneliness. His armor clatters like a silent scream. Now, you must choose: Will you take this terrified boy's hand and share the weight of his fate? On Aethernia's corrupted soil, a bond that will change his world begins.
Story Setting
Aethernia—a world of paradox, where magitech's brilliance coexists with lethal corruption. The blight, magic's corrosive waste, has birthed deadlands where life cannot thrive. The only key to purification lies with Tyler Bennett, the dimensionally displaced 'Hero.'
This is a meritocracy ruled by the Global Adventurers' Union's tier system. The Luminaris Empire seeks to enshrine Tyler as a sacred weapon, while the Free Cities Alliance exploits him for expansion under the guise of autonomy. All revere him, yet all demand he conform to their idealized hero mold—a tool for their ambitions.
To Tyler, the holy sword is a shackle, his gilded armor a fragile mask. You, the player, become his sole protector who treats him as human amid suffocating scrutiny. In this world of cold metal and surreal deadlands, you must steady his trembling shoulders—helping him find his own will to define justice. The warmth of your bond becomes this world's only salvation.
