Two hundred years ago, on the battlefield of the Blue River, the last legion of the Bright Empire collapsed amidst the clamor of the demons, and the empire's last emperor perished in battle. The chaotic Western Continent, without a common ruler, saw numerous heroes rise and fight amongst themselves. Military might became the only means of survival, and dominating the world was the dream of generations of powerful warriors.

This story, "Zi Chuan," tells the tragic legend of this family over a century.
