On a superstitious day, he is about to have his life changed permanently when a dark, unnatural force threatens to take away everything from him.

As Kiyoshi ventures deeper into his journey, he discovers the startling reality of his past, deeply intertwined with the ‘Prophecy’. According to legend, the Sacred Stone is fabled for the immense power it channels, and the mythical God of Destruction needs the stone to follow through with an unknown plan. In order to defeat the entity that threatens his own existence, sacrifices in all aspects are needed. The history of Kiyoshi’s hometown is lost in darkness, and the future is uncertain. Now Kiyoshi is faced with a life-changing question—which is more important, the past or the future?
