Rise of the Village Hero story
Players step into the shoes of Guy, a hunter returning home to the desolation of Warlington town. As he delves deeper, Guy uncovers a chilling plot: orcs are conspiring to resurrect a banished goddess imprisoned within a shattered crystal. This potent relic has been fragmented into four pieces, discreetly concealed within churches, sceptres, and even the King's sword hilt decades ago. With monsters rallying under this dark cause, humanity's fate hangs in the balance. It falls upon Guy, the hero, to thwart their ambitions and prevent the malevolent goddess's resurgence, lest the Kingdom of Dobroja faces its darkest hour.
