Story
The warriors did not choose to return.

The crisis in the chaotic mosaic world of Dysnomia has passed. The possibility of doom, which existed in parallel, has been resolved by heroes summoned from other worlds and the efforts of the Altermenos Emperor Adel Bellius and his family, descendants of the God of Creation.

The evil god was defeated, and the dimensional cage that had been placed on Dysnomia was lifted. The warriors were supposed to return to the world that would be their home. However, there was one person who witnessed the entire battle and disagreed with its outcome.

As the eyes of the Sun God,, and from the standpoint of a mere mortal, he is able to see the events of all parallel worlds. A being who watched over all the adventures of the heroes who defied fate. That person, Liber, was aware of this. If the heroes returned to their original world, all their memories and experiences in Dysnomia would disappear.

It seemed to Liber that this would be tantamount to annihilation. Therefore, Liber asked the Sun God Barral for a single power. Call down from beyond time and space the celestial body that would become the new heaven and earth. A power to create a new world where brave warriors could live with their memories of Dysnomia intact.

Their wish was granted, and they was given a power comparable to that of a god. They then poured all of their power into the dying "Star of the Falling Sun".

It seemed that Liber's wish had been fulfilled. But in Dimilheim, the seeds of destruction that the creator, Liber, had never imagined were mixed in.

The curtain of epic poetry is once again lifted. The heroes rise up. With an unyielding will to carve out their own destiny...
