Background Story

Excerpt from the diary of Major Martin, hero of Lagferant

Expedition Day 30
This place feels like a land where demons from ancient myths exist. Our expedition started with a full company including myself, but we were cut down—only half remain. Even I, hardened by the battlefield, am frightened by those grotesque creatures that greedily devour the bodies of our comrades.

Expedition Day 50
The soldiers who pushed this deep are the elite among the elite. I doubt whether what the scientist spoke of is truly important to Lagferant Command, but after studying the enemies we have slain, many appear to be prototype forms of the various lifeforms that emerged from the original Progmare and later the Neo Progmare. It seems abandoned experimental subjects survived here and grew stronger.

Expedition Day 70
Today I saw that demon again. It resembles a prototype model of the Lamia we once saw in Barsha. A serpent wielding a giant scythe—unlike Lamia, it shows terrifying attack power. Defeating it may bring us closer to the truth.

Expedition Day 77
Only after half of the remaining unit was sacrificed did we finally manage to slay the serpent. From its belly, we recovered a small memory card. At the place where the serpent fell, there was a device that could move us to the second sector. Lagferant Command will establish a safe zone there and enable travel to Sector 2.

Expedition Day 100
Reinforcements arrived. With many new heroes deployed, I handed command authority to Major Kelru. After rest and reorganization, we volunteered to explore Sector 2.

Expedition Day 120
Just when we thought it would be smoother than Sector 1, the enemies we faced were far too strong. Forced to retreat again and again, we left too many casualties behind.

Expedition Day 125
It’s annihilation. The survivors can be counted on fingers. We found a region that should lead to Sector 3 for a final stand… but the secret of this place… ends here.
