[Story] Upon the recent end of the ancient century, a period of great change began. The world was shifting, and with it, the very fabric of time itself. The ancient endings made way for new beginnings, and the people were left to navigate this strange new world. They found themselves caught between the past and the future, unsure of where they fit in. But as they looked back upon the ages that had come before, they knew that this was just the beginning.

[参考翻译] 最近,随着古代世纪的结束,一个巨大的变革时期开始了。世界在变化,随之变化的是时间本身的本质。古代的结束让位于新的开始,人们被留在这个陌生的新世界中航行。他们发现自己处于过去和未来之间,不确定自己的位置。但是当他们回顾过去的年代时,他们知道这只是开始。
