Storyline

You are the chosen one, the legendary hero―and you have successfully defeated the greatest evil of the land, the Demon King. Now you're going on a well-deserved vacation at a remote, peaceful village. That is, it should have been peaceful―but for some mysterious reason, monsters are reappearing in the village, and you are tasked by the village elder to dispatch them at the source, the eastern cave at the edge of town.
