Background story
Adala was once the "paradise of the universe", a quiet, beautiful, and vastly prosperous land. In 893 of the Creation Calendar, the powerful but evil Sirens started the “Genesis Project”, attempting to create the most powerful and perfect life form in the world. In order to prevent the situation from getting out of hand, Adala formed an alliance, which destroyed everything the Sirens had possessed and expelled the remnants.

However, the war tore a mysterious accidental rift in space, from which powerful demons emerged continuously. The rift also corroded the nearby forests, which mutated woodland creatures into horrible and cruel beasts. More and more powerful monsters came into existence, with the most advanced able to rip through thousands of warriors instantly.

After an emergency conference, Adala decided to assemble the elites of all races and form an organization to especially hunt those beasts. They are called the “Rift Hunters”.
