1 Prologue: His Legacy...

In the ancient times, when the world was newly formed, the gods bestowed upon it the citizens who would inhabit its lands: humans and witches. The humans were devoid of magic, while the witches possessed extraordinary powers granted by the gods' favor. Over time, the witches came to rule the world, regarding humans as inferior beings due to their lack of magic.

However, amidst this desolate state, a mere human sage dared to challenge the established order. He devoted his life to creating a system known as the arcane arts, driven by the desires and sins that lay within the hearts of humans. This arcane arts system was intended to rival the magic wielded by the witches, as a means to challenge their oppressive rule.

Yet, despite his impassioned efforts, the sage's rebellion ended in failure, leaving behind only the remnants of his unfulfilled hope. He envisioned that one day, someone would rise to follow in his path and end the tragic fate of humanity.

Now, a millennium has passed since the sage's failed uprising, and the arcane arts he created still linger in the world as remnants of his unfulfilled ambition. The seven branches of the arcane arts have emerged, each representing a primal sin of humanity: Gula (Gluttony), Ira (Wrath), Avaritia (Greed), Acedia (Sloth), Luxuria (Lust), Invidia (Envy), and Superbia (Pride).

As the stage is set after a thousand years, the world awaits the emergence of a new champion who will carry the mantle of the sage's legacy and strive to fulfill the unattained dream of freeing humanity from the witches' reign...
