"The Universe was in chaos, so I gave it order.
The land was barren and dead, so I gave it Life.
The people were in misery and turmoil, so I gave them rules and prosperity. 
You were all alone, so I decided to stay by your side forever.

But you all chose to betray me. You all chose your own desires and twisted my commandments.
You chose to bathe yourself in depravity and lust, and left me behind.
And in My anger and sorrow, I wanted to erase you from existence!

But how could I forsake you?
For I so loved the World, I decided to give you one last chance..."

It is said that Qi and Mana were EON's gifts to mankind. With them, men were able to emerge from the barbarism in which they lived, and change nature to suit their needs. They were able to raze mountains, stop rivers, and call upon the power of the heavens to serve them, founding empires and kingdoms that lasted for millennia.

The last Vicar of the Temple died suddenly and mysteriously. The Seneschals accused the Gloria of EON, a member of the Grand Kingdom of Ansem of having had a hand in his death.

The land is in turmoil. A dark shadow is growing ever strongly, threatening to engulf the whole continent in its advance. Balance is becoming more and more precarious between the 6 Major Territories with each passing moment, and the menace of war is upon the entire world. 

Join Nerun, an orphan boy in the Kingdom of Ansem, in an epic quest to unravel his mysterious past, and the shadow that wants to erase his future.

For I So Loved The World

Reina was to battle Marcia, while Nerun and Gonzo both went up to the arena. The arena had already recovered from the damage inflicted on it with the help of several alchemical means installed on it, so the arena conditions would be less influential to the fighters battling on top.

When Nerun and Gonzo assumed their positions, the latter talked to Nerun.

"You know, I have been quite intrigued by you since you entered the Academy. Both my elder sister and elder brother seem to be displeased by you, however, I could care less about what they think or do, they are them, and I am me. I only care about the martial path, and the enemy in front of me."

Nerun listened silently to Gonzo, and answered back, "Then I trust you won't be disappointed from this fight. You better bring out everything you've got. After all, you're not the first praetorian I've fought and defeated."
