He created the humans in his own image to populate this world and named the continent the "Mortal Realm". Another continent teeming with life started to imitate the Mortal Realm. Strange creatures possessing abilities different to that of the humans appeared and slowly became known as the "Asura". Thus, the god of creation named this continent: "Dark Realm". Cities were built above these realms where the gods; assigned by the God of Creation, could oversee their inhabitants. With the two worlds in harmony, the God of Creation left. However, his departure created a disturbance and the beasts from the Dark Realm started invading the Mortal Realm. As the force controlling the worlds started to dissolve, a mysterious darkness emerged. You enter this story as a divine oracle and begin your adventure by descending to the Mortal Realm in order to bring peace to the world. The Classes Warrior
Proud Warriors are resolute and courageous in battle, wearing heavy armor and wielding powerful weapons. They are very capable in close-ranged combat and are the backbone to any team. Warriors protect other team members from harm and can reduce damage that's being inflicted by enemies. They even have the ability to exchange some of their defense power in favor for more powerful attacks. This is why they can always be found at the front lines, inflicting fear into their enemies. Priest
Priests are wise and warmhearted people. With their high will and intelligence, they can cast healing spells and protective charms to ease the burden of the entire party. Some spells also boost allies' overall defense or attack powers. Although Priests are known for their compassion, they can use their powers to attack enemies with deadly force when their cause calls for it. Shaman
Shamans work as lone wolves to ambush the enemy. Their natural dexterity provides high defense against physical attacks and they are known to use sinister dark spells to topple their enemies. Shamans practice a line of secret rituals with mysterious healing abilities to remedy the sick, but their blood curses are often fatal. Onmyoji
Onmyoji wear tall hats and snow-white robes with loose sleeves that conceal weapons and deadly gadgets. They are graceful, elegant, and use their magic to directly inflict damage with powerful spells and chants. Onmyoji also support allies by summoning totems from the 5 elemental energies at their disposal. Plus two additional classes to be revealed at a later date!

Pale Elves: beautiful, untouchable, valuing strength and combat skill over all other aspects. According to the custom in Irtita, girls are brought up in seclusion. For the first two hundred years, they see neither boys nor grown men, and give themselves over to war games and weapons training under the watchful eye of experienced instructors. Eventually, they leave their maiden kingdoms and go searching for their chosen one. They search for happiness, crossing swords with men again and again, as only someone that can defeat an Elf in combat can hope to receive her blessing and companionship. Alicia herself took up this task; known as the Queen of the Night amongst her own people, she searched for a true challenge in lands far and wide. Only upon discovering the secret of the Juggernaut heroes, who are transformed by the armor they wear into gods, did her despondency at ever finding a true partner worthy of her combat gifts lift. Now the only question remains: is that you? Whoever answers the challenge and defeats Alicia in battle can count on her eternal loyalty, and her swift blade. After the sun sets, the moon and the stars give this ethereal Queen of the Night her most amazing powers!
