Ruined Future: The Bad Ending Truth is not Reality.. But Reality is the Truth. Abstract: So Journey of the Truant God was a complete failure.

Genre: RPG Game Progression: The Game is more than an hour long, but it also has two maps completed, and currently working on the third. Recruitment: Someone to check my grammar, please. Other than that, someone to help me give new ideas. Story: The End of the Sengoku Period. In 234 AD, Hydra Phantom succeeded in bringing back Xion, the Ultima God of Destruction, and broke the world apart into different pieces. However, he lost control of Xion, and Xion destroyed his soul, before going back to their resting place. Humanity, still ravaged by the events, rebuilt themselves with new traditions. Afterwards, they renamed their countries, or what was left of them. To the southwest, was the small island of Gingalain, to the east, the City of Quartz and the City of Ruby. To the northwest, the City of Sapphire, and finally, in the north, was the City of Diamond. Humanity lived in peace for one hundred years. However, the Immortal King, known as Siegfried Pluto, and his Knights of the Round Table, invaded other lands, and took them as his own. With the three cities under his domain, he named the land the "Granite Empire". Then, he turned his attention to the Goddesses, the mediums of the World's Balance, and their sacred treasures. That's where the story begins. The game as it stands is 8 hours long, or so. Chapters: Chapter Prologue: The Priestess of Quartz- Complete! Chapter One: Daughter of An Evil Man- Complete!
