You’ve answered the call now hear the story!
​
"There were 2 goddesses: one light, one dark. They created many worlds but Maple World was the greatest. The goddess of Light loved Maple World so it warded it against the darkness. That infuriated the goddess of Dark for it created an unbalance in the realm. So this terrible war began!
​
The goddess of Light defeated her sister with the help of her sages, but as the goddess of Darkness fell she unleashed her fury poisoning Maple World with her power.
The goddess of Light sacrified herself to save her beloved creation. Empress Ereve is what remained of her power and the great protector of Maple World. She gathered 7 heroes to stand against the darkness, but they could not stop their world’s slow corruption.
Evere and her sages created 3 relics with power over life, space and time. They were called the Lapentas. The Lapentas could gather all the darkness and cleanse it all at once, or so they thought.
When performing the ritual the sages were gripped by the darkness. The complete ritual site was corrupted, the whole region becoming a dreaded no-man’s land.
Cerian and Balon stepped forward journing into this land of darkness to free all that were trapped inside. There they worked to complete the purification ritual and in doing so, met their end.
The land of darkness was sealed away, where it could hurt no one else.
​
Now the shadows stir once more and the peace seems to be close to an end. It is time for champions to rise again!"
​
So my story begins...
​
I am DreamCraftWD – The Berserker!
​
People fear the unkown. That is the reason why my parents abandon me. The darkness in me scared them. An old man took me in and raised me as his own uncaring about the power within me. He was one of Maple World’s greatest hero. I thank him for all he taught me and I will surpass him by becoming a stronger warrior. The best way to show respect for their efforts is to eclipse the ones that came before him.
This old man's name is Ten, a forgotten hero. He raised me and Lilin, his granddaughter, in a secluded island in the far East called Rien.
Lilin is like my sister. She sees that I am sad cause I've lost against the old man for the 998th time. She wants me to learn how to calm my innerself, for me to learn how to control my rage, keep the seal closed so that the god of rage does not controls me. So I do what she asks me.
I start by collecting a bunch of flowers for Lilin, but I broke them when only one was missing. When Lilian asks me to start all over again I just destroy the flowers... ALL the flowers!
​
Ten finds us fighting and tells us to take a look at the Greatsword. Ten explains that I will need this greatsword if I want to seal away the god of rage for good. If I can control this blade then I can control the god that wielded it. Ten puts me and Lilin officially working together to learn how to control my rage while he will train me on how to fight.
​
The fight training starts. I learn that training is the constant practice of basic skills every day. I start by fighting some monsters that Ten fought during the war. Ten is afraid that because I do not fear death I will be no better than the God of Rage, so a fear of death must be learnt. I face Ten once again and once again I lose, but this time I saw that all this time he has been holding back. He could have killed me any time he wanted.
Ten receives a letter with the Tria royal seal on it. Although he did wanted to hear from them again he reads the letter and quickly tells us that he needs to leave for a while.
​
Some days went by. Ten has not arrived yet and no word from him. We are worried caused he looked afraid before he left. Suddendly, some shadow creatures appear. I destroy them all! One of the shadow creatures leaves a piece of cloth behind that Lilin picks up and identifies it has being a piece of her grandfather’s cape. Is it possible that Ten was captured or even killed? I do not believe so! After being offended by Lilin that does not consider me as family, although we were raised together, I decide to go look for him.
​
I arrive to Lith Harbor. I take a look around the city, the binoculars give me a perfect view! Now I must speak to the villagers, find out what they have to tell me.
Episode 2
Aired on the 04th November 2018
I have made some friends in Lith Harbor, Ziho, Alexmac, Gunm and Maricus.
While I was waiting for the gang to get together I went to Geno’s house to ask him about his relationship. Geno complains because he wants to stay inside while his girlfriend Yuri wants to go outside for a walk. I also went to the The Crest to talk to Teo that asked me if I ever saw a whale and shared that he always wanted to see a blue whale but they are too elusive. Pason told me how all are freaked out about the storm and the earthquake, and how he thinks that people needed some excitement around there. I was able to also talk to Brie about the amazing food they normally have around there but I was forced to leave before Ziho broke the whole restaurant again.
After hearing some locals I knew there was a caravan that headed for Tria, and being the letter that Ten received before he disappeared from there I decided it was worth to explore this city. Marco told me that they are looking for guards to help with the caravan. I just need to go to the Caravan Depot to put my name there and help with the caravan to Tria. So I went there and talked to Nelph the Royal Steward that added me to the caravan escort. We just had to wait for Joddy, a Cadet that was highly recommended by Guard Captain Frey. Suddenly Joddy arrives running away frightened by a dog. I scare the poor dog away. We have to guard the caravan getting through the Mountain Pass.
Joddy was afraid all the way. At the middle of the way we find other guards that inform us that we are caught in an ambush and we must retreat. There is no time to get Guard Captain Frey. We hear a big noise and the earth trembles. We get face to face with Madria the Commander of Rage. She sends a lot of her bugs to destroy us but I dissimate them. She gets curious and attacks me. She holds me down and feels a strange connection between us. Her sister Bella arrives an orders Madria to leave with her. They leave through the portal but Madria leaves Little Luka to take care of me. It seems that Little Luka is not so little after all. I manage to break free and fight for a while, but then I lost my senses.
I woke up with people all around me carrying me to safety in the road to Tria. We had to get to the capital and report what had happened. Joddy was glad that I was awake. He reported that everyone was OK except for a lady named Peachy that was unaccounted for. She had gone up the hill to gather herbs for her people but did not returned. After seeing how scared Joddy was to go and get her I decided to go for myself. Peachy was up the hill being attacked by some shadow monsters. I killed them all but they kept coming out of this portal… The ground started to shake again and Spatoy, a Mega-Madron came out of it. I fought him bravely and killed him, but lost again my senses.
​
This time I awoke in Tria, thinking I went blind when after all the only thing I had to do was to open my eyes. Finally I met Guard Captain Frey. He informed me that after my beauty sleep I needed to go with him to a special audience with the empress. We both headed to the Audience Chamber while everyone was expecting us. Empress Ereve welcomed me holding high hopes on me, but Minister Karl seems more suspicious. Guard Captain Frey interrupted them and gave me an urgent task. It seems that the information regarding the caravan root was leaked by someone inside. Because nobody knows me I would be perfect to follow the investigation. Because my friends were waiting for me I left my investigation on hold and went back to my friends. We tried to enter a dungeon in Tria but I am still a novice. I need to train my skills and get experience before I can join my friends in these adventures.
​
I went back to Lith Harbour to try and complete some quests andafter I adventured myself in the Royal Road Plaza. I’ve enjoyed the scenery by the binoculars and tried to destroy the Turtcolis and Broccoturtles in the Turcoli Cave, but I was not able to find the cave. So I got distracted killing all kind of little monsters that appeared on my way. Then I decided to move on to the Tria but because I did not wanted to spend money on a Taxi I decided to go to South Royal Road. There I enjoyed the scenery by the binoculars, I’ve talked to JJ that expressed his worries of what will happen if all disappears. Also talked to Toomy that loves food and told me that there is a way around the rift through the forest, following the path between the trees to Hushwood Vale and then keep on until Tria. Trying to go up one of the paths I touched an Evil Stirge that killed me immediately. Just with one touch. It was painful to watch. I’ve revived close by and decided it was time to catch a Taxi back to Tria.
​
Headed back to the Audience Chamber and talked again with Guard Captain Freya that indicated that I should start by talking to Nelph at the Tria Royal Office because he knows everything that happens regarding caravan routes and trade schedules. When I get to the Tria Royal Office I find Cadet Joddy there. He informs me that we need to join Nelph at his house.
​
While I am on my way there a masked man is already inside the house searching for something. He is caught by Cadet Joddy that confuses him with a janitor. He quickly confirms that suspicion and leaves Joddy in the house. When I arrive he tells me the recent occurrence and I make a connection. The Masked Figure was up to no good! We start a search for the Masked Figure on the North of Tria. We talk to Hawker Leta that gives us directions to Kerning Interchange. Getting there we are informed by Emma that a group of Masked Figures attacked the Cathy Mart Showroom and they are still there. I go inside the Cathy Mart Showroom and start killing Masked Figures until the quest for Emma is succeeded. While I was taking care of the Masked Figures for Emma the rest took Cadet Joddy away.
I fight my way into the building. Inside it looks like a maze and I need to be very careful not to warn the punks that I am there. I finally find the room where they are holding him and I meet Ralph and Kokun. I defeat Kokun what leaves Ralph afraid and he confesses that he only kidnapped Joddy to her our investigation. He does know where he is but he knows how to find him. He tells me to go to talk to Ivan at the Kerning Junkyard.
Episode 3
Aired on the 11th November 2018
On my way to the junkyard I’ve learnt two important lessons: never look at the map when close to enemies cause you can get killed, never face a Boss unprepared (I’ve died several times against Guard Boss Chaw).
Arriving the junkyard I find a not willing to cooperate Ivan. I start asking around to find the reason why Ivan is so sad and upset. Junkyard King Kono helps me out giving me some tips and tasks. After bringing him some tires, collecting some Scrap Iron and killing some of Ralph’s men Kono gives a good word to Ivan about me and he finally talks to me. Ivan ends up not having any information that can help me. Ralph tricked me! I am now very upset so I go to Ralph again to settle the score. When I get there I am forced to fight cocky Kokun again. After failing two times I decide to upgrade my gear and my skills before facing him again. That helps me winning the fight. Ralph tells me that Nelph was seen going to Noxious Grotto.
I hurry there but in the way I am swept away to this undersee and undertime subway. At the end I discover that whoever Griffin and Griffina are, they are married! I arrive to Noxious Grotto too late, Nelph is already dead!!! The masked figure is still inside so I start running after it. I run and I run and I run a little more, but the masked figure is very elusive. Finally it drops a notebook that I pick up. I go back to Ralph to see if he can help me with the notebook.
Ralph is waiting for me to just to try to kill me once again and this time he has his lackeys with him just to cheer for Kokun. Once more I defeat him and I finish the first chapter of my incredible arising as a hero “A suspicious start”. Ralph explains to me that the symbol on the notebook’s cover is the crest of the Barrota Trading Company and that not even they do business with them. To learn more I should head to the Barrota Port. So I start my “Quest for Truth”.
Episode 4
Aired on the 18th November 2018
Before I started my way to Barrota I was approached by Rubi the Event Guide. She asked me for two favours. I should help controlling the Turkeys that have been attacking back. They appear every hour on the hour and they are giant. Also she asked me to help her get enough Turkey meat to prepare a Thanksgiving Feast. I decided to help but only in my free time. If the Turkeys are giant then after I kill them I can give the meat to Rubi for her Feast.
​
When a dancing event started I was not able to resist it. Unfortunately I was not able to go more than round 2. Nevertheless I danced really well. Not only I am the best warrior, I am also the best dancer. After all I am the great Berserker DreamCraftWD.
​
After the dance event was over I headed to Barrota Port to talk to Hawker Solvay. I had hope he could tell me something about the crest in the Notebook. The crest is President Raymond’s personal crest so Hawker suggested I’d talk to the President myself. I went up to his office but nobody was there, only a suspicious card that belonged to someone called Ripert. I went back to Hawker to warn him that the office had been ransacked and see if I could find who Ripert is. Finally someone gives me information without trying to kill me or asking me for favours. It seems that Ripert works in the Barrota Information Brokerage to the south. I headed immediately to Ripert’s office.
​
Arriving there I increased my Death Spin and my armour and I was just in time to help Ripert that was being threatened by Blackstar Capo. After defeating Blackstar and his men twice Ripert pointed me in the right direction to find the masked man. I just have to go to the Dark Wind HQ in Kerning City. The guys there can help me getting the information I am searching for.
​
Before going to Kerning City I looked at the clock and it was time for the Giant Turkey to appear. I had promised Rubi that I would get some so I made a detour to Revoldic Dam to try and catch a Turkey for her. Unfortunately I was not able to find any! I was then caught on another event, “The Ludibrium Escape”. I was stuck in a Maze that had moving walls and had to get to the surface. Let’s just say that I’ve failed miserably.
​
Back on track following the road to Kerning City. It took me a little bit to discover where the Dark Wind HQ was located but finally I found it in the map (putting it in the bigger version). Arriving there I talked to Agent Evan that, after understanding how important my quest was, told me that I could find his boss at Eve’s. I enter Eve’s house and I could not help but to hear Captain Katvan having a discussion with Eve about Lennon. Eve is the daughter of the President Winn Stilton that was just recently murdered by Lennon his right-hand man, or supposedly killed by Lennon. I told Katvan the complete story so far and he was very interested. In the meantime I was able to level up to 16 and can now join my friends fighting monsters in dungeons. I can now prove myself as the best warrior, or at least practice hard to become the warrior I know I will be.
​
Captain Katvan asked me to join him at the Dark Wind Command so that we could go over the details of the current situation. Getting there he told me the complete story of the president’s murder and how Lennon escaped. He tried to convince me that Lennon may as well be the masked figure that I’ve been searching for. In reality Lennon did not killed him and Katvan is the bad one, but I do not know it yet.
Jody suddenly appears at the Dark Wind’s HQ to give me the bad news that Nelph’s body disappeared. I hurry back with him to Noxious Grotto. Little Gogh was there waiting for us. After scaring Jody to death (almost) he asks for our help. Evil monsters attacked his home on Cherry Blossom Hill and took several prisoners including the princess Yomi.
​
I bravely enter the dungeon all by myself determined on saving the princess. After rescuing the prisoners and defeating some smaller monsters on the way, I reach the top of the dungeon where Lazy Stumpy awaits for me. I survive thanks to my health potions and succeed in defeating Stumpy the big tree monster. I release the princess from her captivity and she thanks me with all her heart. I think she is now in love with me, and who can blame her? I am just amazingly cute and an awesome warrior.
​
Getting back to Noxious Grotto, Gogh thanks me again for saving his princess and compares me to Lennon. It seems that he bumped into him on the Sylvan Woods and was helped by him, but Lennon refused to give him his name until it was cleared.
