Upon graduating from the military academy with honors, Lacia embarks on her first assignment at the distant fortress of Krayst. Upon arrival, she discovers that the fortress is in disarray, largely due to the misconduct of its leader, General Gustav. He has succumbed to greed and is exploiting his new recruits for his own gratification. Consequently, the villagers have lost faith in the soldiers who are supposed to protect them. It is now Lacia's responsibility to restore the reputation of Fort Krayst and, by extension, the entire army.
