Mizuki Konno is a typical high school junior at Yanno Prefectural High School, working hard to prepare for college and enjoying downtime with fashion and make-up. Although not part of the class elites, she is part of the cool kids' group. This position may not be fair, but Mizuki is aware of the privileges she has compared to introverts or those who are socially awkward. During a field trip, a traffic accident results in most of the class being wiped out, leaving only five injured girls stuck in the wilderness. Hatred and tension flares as the remaining girls struggle to assert their dominance and survive. In this new reality, beauty and popularity no longer hold power as the group establishes a new class structure. Think Lord of the Flies meets Heathers.

The time for logical debate and magical feints has come to an end; the revelation of the truth about Beatrice the Golden Witch is at hand.

Joining him in the game is Lion Ushiromiya, Krauss's firstborn and heir, whose role is a mystery in its own right. Will's line of questioning draws together the stray strands from all the previous games, twisting them into a thread of truth, revisiting Kinzou's first encounter with the young Beatrice and working through the legends that have since sprung up around her...

Due to the friendship he had with Ted, McDohl's attempt to save him eventually turned his life around from being the son of General Teo McDohl of the Imperial Army to become a wanted enemy of the Empire. A chosen bearer of one of the 27 True Runes, his encounters with death were already foreboding the moment the True Rune was attached to his right hand. Yet, McDohl continues to walk upon the journey through the Empire: facing corruption, cruelty and the life-changing decisions he has to make in order to restore order and peace for the people in his country and to fulfill the hope of many that was entrusted to him. Based on the PSOne video game, it is also loosely based on the Water Margin classics, though it's limited only to the gathering of 108 Stars of Destiny in order to overthrow a corrupt government.
