Who are you? You are... normal it seems. I don't get it, why would she bring you here? Oh right, I should introduce myself. I am Hane, I am... How do I explain this...? I guess the correct term would be Fairy. You see, you aren't in your world anymore. This place? We are in the world of Crystalia. You see, this world is any other. Except there are crystals everywhere... That give us powers. Yeah, it's probably weird compared to your world right? Well, deal with it. Your stuck here buddy and there's now way to go back. Unless you get an... Never mind. No point. Oh see that? That's a crystal, go on, hold it to your chest. There we go! Alright, now you can look into it and see what's your power!
I really should tell you more about what they can really do. That wouldn't be any fun! Anyhow, look, you were dragged here by our lovely Queen, Vioretta Guratitu, you see there's been an increase in places called Labyrinths. These are created by evil monsters and hold an insane amount of crystallized energy. We don't know how they come into being or why, we just know they're there. Problem is, they can expand and can corrupt things around them. Yeah, not a good thing. Basically, if we don't liberate them, we will be very screwed. We liberate them by reaching the end and grabbing the crystal at the end and absorbing them into us. When we absorb them we actually get stronger, though they're only one time use though. So all the powers you might have, there's probably some sort of more better version of that one. Praise the lord, that most of the time there are more than two at the end of these Labyrinths. Most of the time.
Now do you get the idea? Your job is to liberate as many as you can before you return your own world. Oh yeah, see these people next to you? They are your teammates. You're all stuck with each other until you return.Don't go dying though. You die, they all die. Sucker. HA. Those crystals you have... They will act as your guide, they will determine everything you are. So if you're lost, just tap on it and everything you need to know will be there, written in English. Or whatever language you speak. Don't lose it. I think that's everything... Oh right.
This is your mission. Liberate as many Labyrinths as you can before you return. Do it with these people next to you. If you die, they all die too. You have been chosen by the Queen. Do your best. All the necessary tools have been given to you. Liberate as many Labyrinths as you can before you return. I cannot tell you when you will return, I cannot tell you why. Should you fail? You will be terminated.
So you were sleeping or something similar to that. You have dream that this weird flying creature that's quite small is talking to you, saying all this crap about being transported into a different world. Her last words of being terminated eventually wake you up. Though, something is very, very strange. Your clothes are different, you suddenly have a weapon(s) in your hand. There is a crystal on your chest, though you can take it off. That's the least of your worries, you have woken up in a crystalline cave, there's a feeling inside you, as if it's stirring something deep in your soul. There are others too, seems like it's like you aren't alone. The fairy was right. You realise that you woke up in a different world and what the fairy said in that "dream" was the truth. Now you have to go liberating labyrinths, possibly die and never get to return without even so much as a reason.
Yay? Well, you could do whatever you really want in here. Explore this new world, accept missions, kill monsters and rescue this land from turmoil. It sounds like some game but oh well. Life wouldn't be any fun if it wasn't some sort of game right?
The world of Crystalia is quite easily summed up in it's name. There are crystals everywhere and they are used for pretty much everything. As you walk on the ground, there could be crystal-like rocks protruding out of the ground. While the feel and look of some places seem very medieval it's actually quite modern. There are high level sky scrapers, planes and even rockets. However, they're mixed with long grassy plains, meadows, unknown caves and shimmering lakes. The world's overall atmosphere is fresh and crisp, lack of pollution and the use of crystal magic makes the air clean and Mother Nature flourish. It's best to be called a metropolis mixed with a nature preserve. There a three major countries in Crystalia however there is possibly more to be discovered.
Whitlea - Located in the northeast of Crystalia and is the smallest of the three main countries. Whitlea is the most "modern" country. It's a busy metropolitan land that has many cities, roads, bridges and just any public transport you can think of. Many of it's cities are very futuristic looking with built in lights on the floor instead of street lights, automatic glass doors everywhere and lots and lots of cars. Most of the cities have a deep black look to them with white linings, which make it seem similar to a neon light show. While it's not drab, boring or uneventful, far from so, it is most definitely not quiet nor peaceful with people running across streets, cars on the roads all the time and crystals always being in use. Whitlea is the main go to country for employment, education and technology overall. While it does boast the largest population, it also has the least land mass and highest crystal usage.
Norcarta - Located in the southwest of Crystalia and is the largest of the three main countries. This is where our protagonists first wake up. In contrast to Whitlea, Nocarta has many forests, meadows, plains, deserts, lakes and a variety of different environments. The country is generally considered very backwater and has a lack of technology. However, it doesn't mean they are far behind from the others of course. The numerous environment are sprinkles with a few towns and villages here and there usually containing an inn or something similar with sometimes a kingdom in the nearby area. The majority of the country looks similar to a medieval fantasy game and has many crystals everywhere. Most of the world's wildlife live here due to how peaceful it is. Also this country has a emphasis on crystal magic and the ability to conserve crystal energy. As such, the place has very low crystal usage but however, holds the most labyrinths due to the amount of underlying crystal energy.
Hayazel - Located in the center and has a medium land mass. Hayazel is a mix of the two, it has the sprawling metropolises of Whitlea combined with the variety of environment of Nocarta. The place is very average in everything and has no mastery nor is unskillful in anything. This place is considered a haven for people who wish to live the lives of both Whitlea and Nocarta. It's population is generally the happiest and is very welcoming. The queen of Crystalia, Vioretta, resides in the capital here and is called a very kindhearted individual. Despite the happiness of the population, the labyrinths that appear in this country are considered to be extremely dangerous and only those selected by the Queen are allowed to liberate them. Rumor has it the Queen is calling warriors from across the globe to help liberate the world.
Crystals - Crystals are the source energy of everything in this world. We have the ability to use crystals to our will and how we see fit. However, crystals are split into three catergories, Usage, Battle, Energy. Usage Crystals are similar to items, they have varying effects from healing to powering up electricity to granting spells to creating light. However, their main purpose is to be used in conjunction or for creation of other items. Battle Crystals are crystals that are used for battle related things such as armor, weapons or even imbuing elements onto weapons. Energy Crystals are the rare ones and the ones that are found at the end of labyrinths or by defeating monsters, they are absorbed into a person and grants them new abilities, powers up their currently existing ones or simply making a person stronger by amplifying their crystal energy inside them.
Crystal Energy and Magic - Crystal Energy is the unique crystal essence inside someone that can turn them from a scared bystander to a fierce fighter. Some are born with this energy amplified more than others. Crystal Magic is the ability to control this essence and use it to their will, the more amplified someone's energy is the more easier it is to perform crystal magic. There are ways to learn how to use crystal magic effectively, however due to the Crystal Energy being linked to our emotional and mental state, it's also quite easy to use crystal magic in their own way. However, this essence does need time to recharge and has a capacity limit. Certain items and weapons can mitigate this weakness however. Also the more amplification of Crystal Energy is done the more harder it is to amplify it even further, requiring even more amounts of Energy Crystals than it usually would.
Labyrinths - These places are where an insane amount of raw Crystal Energy which once laid dormant which has now exploded and become active once more, corrupting things around it and amplifying their energy to such extremes that they are now beyond recognizable. However, only those caught in the explosion will become corrupt and it is safe to be around the labyrinths, in fact it slightly amplifies our Crystal Energy, giving people a slight boost in fighting spirit. However, they are filled with monsters, traps and even unknown destructive forces. It's easy to get lost in them and getting to the end would be the best way to escape. However, they hold treasures, weapons, arcane arts and most of all the prizes at the end, rare Energy Crystals to amplify one's power. Usually there are enough to share between a medium sized group but people will fight over who gets the last crystal, possibly ending in someone's death.
