Storyline

A small kingdom, no more than a hundred years old...
Quinn Bravesford, for the sake of her country,
leads her soldiers into battle against the swath of enemy nations.
A young, daring tactictian, and an excellent commander.
One year, the king declared that he would send a large-scale
investigation team to the Desert of Beginnings.
And so, Quinn was selected to captain this mission.

Today is the commencement of the mission. In a few hours,
Quinn readies herself to depart with her team.
Quinn gazes at the ancient alchemic device, the Lunagear, within her hand.
According to the legends of yore, once the Lunagear is equipped with the four Orbs,
it will unlock the Great Power that will save humanity.
Only one Orb resides in Quinn's Lunagear.
...This, however, is a mere legend. Some believe its tale, and others do not.

With the threat of dangerous creatures and Machine Dolls wandering the desert,
one of the enemy nations, the Principality of Neuhaven,
has dispatched their military in search of the Great Power.

I must do everything in my power to make sure my friends survive that machine-riddled desert.
I must fight for the hope of those who believe in the existence of the Great Power.
This is my duty as a soldier. I will fully live, now.

Quinn steeled herself, but even so, she couldn't help but doubt the existence of the Great Power.
