In this game, you play as a hero who is summoned to another world.
After leaving the beginner village, you meet a seemingly kind old man who tricks you into exchanging all your treasures for a legendary sword — which turns out to be fake.

Realizing you have been deceived, you decide to begin an adventure to defeat the old man’s guards and reclaim your lost treasures.
