STORY OVERVIEW
Years ago, a world not so different from our own was overrun by monsters of an
unknown origin. Their rampage was stopped only by the discovery of a mysterious
metal known as talentium. Once forged, talentium swords granted their bearers
magical powers that were able to put an end to the monstrous horde. While peace
has returned to the world, talentium has created a new era where the same magic
that was once used to wage war is being put to everyday use. For Sita Vilosa,
SkyHigh student and part-time monster hunter, life is about to change...
