Backstory:

The story of Eremidia: Dungeon! starts in 994 AE, about 300 years after the famous Hunting Age and 994 years after the foundation of Kingdom of Eremidia and King Dnas I was crowned. Our king today, King Dnas XIII, was crowned in 974 AE, marks 20 years he rules the kingdom and maintain the prosperity of his people…

Even only a few knows that our king has been cursed by a dark mage namely Magas, the wretched evil soul who wants the king is dead. King Dnas was escaped from death and return to the Eremidiana Castle—in his tiny, adorable green frog form that caused Queen Prima, his wife to kiss him immediately. Alas, as the fairy tale told the children and like the popular beliefs, the curse can be broken by a kiss from the princess… And they couldn't make their child to kiss their own father as the curse can be broken by princesses with no bloodline with the King.

The Wizard made a Gathering—now to discuss the way to break the King's curse, and they decided to tell King Dnas that the curse can be broken by killing the one who curse him; Magas must be killed to lift the curse once and for all. King Dnas vigorously accept that little, risky chance and hope that is the way to return to his true, human form. Knowing that chasing down Magas is hard enough because he moves in random pattern from one place to another, he decided to hire someone who knows every corner of the place in the kingdom. And, there is the Scout, which literally is you, answered the King's calling.

That time you came to the throne before the King himself, Magas' whereabouts has been revealed thanks to the expedition team the Kingdom sent a month ago; he is in the backwater of the kingdom, the mysterious Grace Island, planning for something nasty and endangers the Kingdom.

So, you and the King set sail to the island in quest to break the curse and stop Magas's unknown plan. Soon, you and the King will realize that Magas' plan is to bring back the Dark One, the entity that once strife to devour the Forumia and defeated by certain Summoner, to life once again… Not only the Black One, you'll find the forgotten art of summoning that can be used to defeat the Black One… in risky yet worthy price.

Will King Dnas break his curse and stop Magas' plan in the Grace Island?
