●Story

The protagonist, Retla, a cat-eared dual-weapon-wielder, had come to the Far Eastern nation of Ouran after hearing rumors of a phantom tower. The rumor claimed, “Within the Eternal Palace Sakura, those who overcome its trials shall obtain a divine relic.” Retla finally reached the tower of her quest, but upon stepping inside, she found herself trapped within. Can Retla overcome the trials of the Eternal Palace Sakura and unravel its mystery?
