Story

Long ago, an ancient star governed a flourishing civilization. Loyal disciples known as Six-Sided Oracles were blessed by this celestial entity, sealing the gift of heavenly bodies within mystic relics. However, calamity struck with the Crimson Dawn Cataclysm - a cataclysmic inferno that shattered their society and corrupted weak souls. The disciples vanished, leaving their creations scattered across a shattered world. Now, eons later, the descendants of the Oracles must complete their failed battle and restore harmony to their star system.
