The fantasy Necrogard Island is home to an assortment of fantasy creatures, heroes, and villains. Humans are the most common form of creature on the island, meta-humans are more unique as they possess great powers and can wield magic with access to mystical weapons. Erufus come in two different species, have vast magical powers, and live for thousands of years. There are three Orc clans that live on the island, all with different attributes and temperaments. Ogres are a much rarer creature, with only a small clan now left on the island. Demons roam the island at Kazan rock and strike fear in anyone they encounter. They have vast superhuman strength, a thick hide that is incredibly tough to penetrate, and wield oversized brute weapons. Pixies are also a very rare species and, while smaller, pack a huge punch. They’ve lived for thousands of years as a force for good, and, as the most powerful magic wielders, they control all colours of magical energy.

Surrounded by magical energy that binds everyone to this place, Isekai Island has been a peaceful place for many years. However, that is all about to change, as we now see the arrival of the destroyer, the dark chosen one, Lady Akia Manto!

Meanwhile, Princess Sukimi’s evil twin sister, Lady Akia Manto, has been gathering her dark forces on the other side of the island. She is preparing for battle to be the rightful ruler of Isekai and will stop at nothing to accomplish this goal! She has just kidnapped Prince Ao, husband to Princess Sukimi, and has him chained up in her dungeon keep. Now preparing to launch a stealth attack against the golden castle with her deadly assassin by her side, Lady Shistrike, can anyone stop Lady Akia Manto from stealing the castle's gold supply!

• Kazan Rock (Volcanic Lair- Home of Lady Akia Manto) Oni Town (Ogre)

• Shin'en Crossing (Abyss)

• Golden Palace (Home of Princess Sukimi)

Sukimi and her inseparable twin sister Akane were born to the King and Queen of the Golden Palace. However, at the age of five, Akane was kidnapped. The King attempted to rescue Akane but died during the rescue mission. After these tragic events, the Queen grew overprotective of Sukimi. Sukimi was never allowed outside the castle walls and her movements and actions inside were constantly recorded. Any misstep was reported to the Queen and resulted in severe punishment. Princess Sukimi spent dawn to dusk training in defensive magic. The Queen even had surprise trials for Sukimi. She would appoint guards to act as intruders and attempt to kidnap Princess Sukimi in her sleep. If Princess Sukimi failed to escape from the “invaders,” she would be shut inside her room for a week. Due to these tests, Sukimi developed severe insomnia. However, she did not spend her punishment being bored; she would sneak into the library and steal books to read late into the night. She also bribed guards to bring her toys and other fun trinkets. When the Queen realized that the knights were going easy on Sukimi, the Queen appointed High Elf Lady Aloysia as her new teacher. Lady Aloysia was tough on Sukimi in training, but a good friend to her outside of the training grounds.

Akane and Sukimi were born to the King and Queen of the Golden Palace. Akane enjoyed leading Sukimi on adventures around the castle. They were both incredibly happy children and always attached at the hip. However she was always more courageous than Sukimi. When they were five she wanted to sneak out of the castle but Sukimi was too scared to follow. Akane decided to go on her own. However, while she was alone the BBEG kidnapped her. She was never rescued. The BBEG took her in as his own daughter. But life as his daughter was not easy. He put her through rigorous training and torturous experiments. Through his rituals she grew horns, a tail and even gained his dark magical abilities. She tried to escape multiple times. However, the rituals performed on her created a magical tie between her and the BBEG. With this tie, if she tries to escape he can torture her or even kill her. Once she realized her family was never coming back for her she renamed herself Akia Manto.

Ao was born to a family of nobles. While he received training for knighthood, he excelled in his academic studies. Prince Ao preferred playing a game of chess to partaking in a sparring match. But, he performed both well nonetheless. His skills only enhanced the already prestigious name of his household. When he became a teenager his parents arranged his engagement to Princess Sukimi. He spent most of his summers with her at the castle. He would take her on trips outside of the castle. Sukimi would guide him through the secret passageways of the castle. They treated each day together as another adventure. Everyone in the castle always gossiped about just how in love the two of them were. At the news of his parents’ deaths, Prince Ao moved into the castle. His grief propelled him even further into his royal studies. When the Queen passed away, he and Princess Sukimi officially took to the throne.

Lady Aloysia grew up as a high Eurfu noble. Her life consisted of an excellent education, demanding training, and luxury. She was a fierce general on the battleground. After the most recent war with the Dark Elves ended, most warriors were relieved of their duties. She became a member of the Elven Council and a Professor of War Arts. Though, the age of peace has quite frankly bored her. She spent most of her days in council meetings to discuss the same political issues daily. Even her skills as a professor were rarely sought after in a time without war. She honestly missed her adventurous days on the battlefield. When the Meta Human Queen asked her to train her daughter, she gladly accepted. She thought the opportunity to train Princess Sukimi would be an exciting change of pace. But, she is once again stuck inside another castle. At least Princess Sukimi will excitedly listen to all of her tales of adventure. However, between the rising agitation of the Elven council members and the whispers in the castle, Lady Aloysia knows something big is coming. And she cannot wait.

Lady Fuyu and her younger brother grew up as part of the Snow Bird Village within the mountains of Necrogard Island. The people of this village have a magical bond with nature. Each villager is either an elemental, a druid, or has another strong connection with the mountain. Fuyu’s mother was once the head of the village. Her mother was a strong advocate for the natural world and stood up against any environmental injustice. They aligned themselves with the Meta Humans in many battles, as they agreed to work together to protect the natural magic of the island. But, after the most recent war against the dark elves their village lost many of their best warriors, including Fuyu’s mother. And, their allies, the Kingdom, gave their village no aid. Lady Fuyu had to take on the role of village head at an early age. After the war, the village made the decision to isolate themselves from the rest of the island. Now they focus on rebuilding their village and strengthening their bonds to the natural world.

Lady Shistrike was born in the slums of her large village. Her mother died during childbirth and her father passed soon after. She was living on the streets as a young child. A local gang took her and many other orphaned kids in. She spent her days scamming villagers, stealing from merchants, or doing physical labor to pay her keep. If she made a profit that day she ate. If not, she was punished. She rebelled at first. But, soon learned to keep her head down and do what she was told. She became incredibly good at bringing large profits back to the base. Once she was a young teenager, they had her work on more important missions such as assassinations. She became so skilled that she was tasked with mentoring the children. She became particularly close with one young boy, Akihito. He became a younger brother to her. On days he couldn’t make enough money to eat, Lady Shistrike would steal an extra portion of food. Akihito admired Lady Shistrike’s incredible stealth and fighting abilities.

However, after his mother gave birth to him, she disappeared. To this day nobody knows the truth about her disappearance. He was raised for a short time by his father. As a half-demon, he was considered a monster amongst his village. The only person who treated him kindly was his father. The villagers respected Sandar’s father, who was the village doctor. Yet no matter “its” father, they grew sick of harbouring a demon in their village. The villagers one night raided Sandar’s home in an attempt to kill him. But, his father shielded him. Sandar was able to escape, but his father was not so lucky. With no safety amongst the villages, Sandar fled to Kazan Rock. There was no home greeting him there.
