Under the democratic rule of King Lassic, life was good as he provided everything his people could want. Space Travel had been discovered 200 years before and deep space shuttles had allowed colonization of Motavia and Dezoris, the other worlds of the Algol Star System.
But slowly, over time, things began to change. It started with a new religion which was rumored to have come from another galaxy. The dark priests of this religion, never seen by any mortal, promised immortality to all who joined. You would live forever!
King Lassic was getting old. The idea of living forever appealed to him
so he became the first to join. Then, he... changed. It started with
the threatening suit of armor the priests made him.
The armor looked evil and corrupt, and that's how Lassic began to rule his people. Outrageous taxes became a burden on everyone. Business on all three planets shut down and entire towns fell into decay. There was no way for the people to make any money.
As time passed and the people suffered, horrible creatures and monsters began to stalk all three worlds. When the dead came back to life, the people feared the worst and guessed the truth. Trough black magic, Lassic had become an evil tyrant.
But where there is evil there is always good. Brave individuals began to
rally in secret against Lassic. But his Robotcops were ruthless in
hunting out these defenders of the people. One was Nero, a spaceport
worker in Camineet, the central town on Palma. Long ago, his father had
disappeared trying to learn Lassic's evil secrets. Now, the Robotcops
had crushed Nero as well. Before he died, he passed on his short sword
and his quest to his sister, Alis.
He also told her to find a brave
fighter named Odin.
Alis raised the sword to the sky and vowed that Nero's death would not go unavenged!
