That is, until one day when Lucky suddenly runs away and Protagonist chases after him…Join Protagonist and Lucky on their luckiest of runs, as they journey through a magical land beyond our own, uncovering long-kept secrets, an ancient evil, and a bright hope through which to save the world from that evil as they go.
