Synopsis

[edit]

Setting

[edit]

The game is set in the Three Kingdoms era, when various warlords and their armies attempt to conquer and unify the nation, as well as combining the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the Four Great Classical Novels.[1]

Plot

[edit]

The Three Kingdoms era in China was full of strife and war. Warlords and their armies were at each other's throats in attempts to conquer and unify the nation under their sole control. The Wangliang King, the monstrous sovereign of evil spirits, can't help but notice the conflict. What he aims is to prolong the conflict and ultimately destroy humanity.

To fight against the evil Wangliang King and his cronies, an organization called Tianyuan forms anti-Wangliang armies. They are on missions to stop the Wangliang King. However, when the sixth anti-Wangliang Corps members are all killed, a new Corps is created from a band of adventurers who can be best described as hooligans.
