[Kingdom of Guardia, 600 AD]

Deciding to venture into the depths of the Cursed Woods, northwest of the town of Porre... you suddenly get ambushed by a group of Fangtooths, a Nu and a poisonous Edible Frog.

Under the wrong circumstances, no mere human like you would survive monsters like those without the right tools.

Or so would it...

SLASH!

Until a brave and familiar looking kid jumped into the scene and defeated the monsters... with no other tool than a KATANA to boot.

As the dust settled, he took a deep breath, stood up...

And introduced himself, in an optimistic and energetic manner.

The name's Crono... and I'm going to erase Lavos from history with the Chrono Trigger!
