A world consumed by endless darkness. The Black Fog spreads relentlessly, corrupting all life in its path. Humanity's sole salvation rests in the power of fire—yet as the dark Epoch descends, those protective flames begin to fade. Once-mighty Kingdoms transform into lairs of Dark Monsters. Survivors lose connection with one another, clinging to existence in solitary glimmers of light. Then Rod arrives. "What is this nonsense about cows and horses? Can you eat it?" "This Soul... it tastes exquisite." "While the will of fire persists, I know humanity will reclaim this world and incinerate every spectral creature haunting it." "Though darkness surrounds me and the Dream Realm weighs upon my shoulders, I remain strong enough to sustain this world!" "We have triumphed!" —— The world teeters on the brink of collapse. The Abyss creeps ever closer. I kindle this Unique flame to pierce the darkness and restore the world to light. Yes—I am the last King of Darkness. Yet... Is anyone there? Someone, please help me.
