01 World Building & Narrative

In dimensions imperceptible to our senses, there exists a spiritual world dominated by the souls.

This world intertwines with our Human World, shaping it with its power. For centuries, both worlds were in balance until recently, when human desires brought sin and caused evil spirits to appear in the spirit world.

Just before the two worlds collapse together, three gifted teenagers embark on a journey to save the world.

They use their special powers, connecting the spiritual world, to purify evil spirits and, at the same time, dispel the negative forces that surround the real world.

To shield the world, they preserved their special power with technology, forming the Investigator Alliance. Only pure-hearted children can wield this power.

Brave child, will you accept this power and guard our world?
