Features: The tide of fate roars like a fierce beast, wave after wave, pushing forward! When will the long and arduous journey of the Holy Stone pursuit end, with shadows lurking and demons rampant? The prophetic device is complete, and the day of its fulfillment is near!! Princess Seraena of the Tarn Region is very confused. She had always thought that the stories of the Holy Stone defending the Western lands from the harm of the Sorcerer were just baseless folk tales. But now, she is unwillingly drawn into this serious, perilous quest to reclaim the Holy Stone. No one believes in magic; but the aunt and grandfather of Gareth seem to be the legendary great mage, Bona and Beagries. How is that possible? These legendary figures must be at least several thousand years old? Moreover, the young Gareth is also learning magic, yet what he studies is truly indescribable as spells. Gareth! He is just a country boy, with no connection whatsoever to the royal princess. But then why does she insist on teaching him more, smoothing his messy hair, and comforting him? Now he will enter the strange tower, considered the source of all evil, to confront a fearsome and powerful magician; yet she cannot go with him to take care of him. He might not even make it back! If she never sees him again...
