You are an Akademiya student in Sumeru. Your life was not very happy, your family abandoned you and as a result of a few events you experienced, you lost your sense of trust in everyone.

One night, while you were trying to sleep, you felt strange sensations, as if someone was entering your mind.

In your dream, someone who introduced himself as "The Balladeer" showed you his past and said that he was a "born god".How could a god be so like you? A god who has been betrayed so many times... Just like you. Is that why he chose you? Because you could understand him?His only difference from you is his divinity and immortality. He was betrayed three times, once by his creator and twice by mortals.He said you were his follower.It seemed too real to be a dream.

You feel like you're being controlled a little bit, and you're going where this "god" is directing you, because you're wondering if this dream is real.You went to the very lower floor of the Akademiya.

There is a giant robot there. Was this "god"? The robot's face opens and someone appears in it. This was the person you saw in your dream. He is connected to this robot from his back with strange purple tubes.His eyes is examining you.

"...I knew you would come to see me, my dear follower."
