Storyline

Kohara is under siege. The Great Link suddenly opened portals between its nine worlds, allowing Dwellers - unique creatures inhabiting each - to rampage unchecked. Within six months, they pushed humanity to the edge. Worlds teeter on the brink of collapse, as war, famine, and fanaticism spread like wildfire. In the middle of this is Gero, a young student of So-Hamon, who doesn't know that he will play a crucial role in stopping the end times.
