The Master and The Evil One were eternal enemies. Instrength and power they were almost equals. Even though the world hasfallen into Chaos, somehow the earth continued on its revolving course.Invasion and destruction...These were the only aims of The Evil One. To conquer the world was his onlydesire. However, The Evil One was unable to destroy the Master. He orderedhis six Guardians, who had enormous strength, to defeat the Master andconquer his world. Even though the world was still in a state of peace, thebalance of power began to gradually sway towards darkness. One day, TheEvil One and his Guardians suddenly appeared at the outer gates of the SkyPalace.The Master, who understood the real purpose of their presence, fought withgreat courage and little regard for his own life.The battle waged on for many days.The Master was so badly injured that he- 4 -fled to the safety of his Sky Palace. With the little energy he had left,he erected a barricade. To heal his serious wound, he fell into a long anddeep sleep. While in a deep sleep, the presence of the Master's powervanished. With no one to inspire resistance, the forces of Evil invaded theworld and did as they pleased. With little hope for any support from theirMaster, the people had little choice but to be transformed into monsters.The Evil One divided the world into six lands and turned over the controlof each region to his Guardians.The world was completely ruined. Stone statues the people had made in honorof their Master became the only remaining eveidence of a strong andthriving society.Several hundred years after the world had fallen into The Evil One's power,the Master, who had long since retreated to the safety of the Sky Palace,began to stir. Even though time had completely healed the Master's wounds,his power disappeared when the last of his loyal subject succumbed to theforces of evil.He found his once ideal worldand loyal subject now overrun by evil. Thiscaused the Master much grief and sorrow, but what could he do? He had nopower.Inspired by the faintest of hope, the Master revolved battle The Evil Oneso that peace and order might once again prevail.With the final preparations, the Master took down the barrier protecting thSky Palace and silently began his mission to destroy The Evil One's holdonhis earth.- 5 -THE OUTLINE OF THE GAMEAs you develop the land, your power will gradually be restored.
