Story

When Ruin Falls from the Heavens, Hope Will Rise from the Earth Below.

In the peaceful world of Liafyse, the gods in the Heavens watch over the people of the surface world. One day, the seal is broken on a heavenly temple, and the "seeds of ruin" stored within are unleashed. The seeds lay waste to the gods before falling to the earth below. They contain the essences of monstrous ruinators that had been sealed away, and having stolen the gods power, if allowed to grow they will sow calamity throughout the surface world. The goddess Leonne, the last surviving deity in the Heavens, uses what remains of her power to slow their growth. She then sends her sprite retainer to the surface world to find the "Great Savior" and seal away the seeds once more.

The protagonist awakens to find himself bereft of memories and staring at a sprite named Lippy and a girl named Sara. Lippy refers to the boy as "the Great Savior," and asks him to use the hero-summoning power of stonecantation to help purify their world. And thus, their adventure across a vast world begins. But none among the three friends can even imagine where their journey of purification will take them...
