| The story starts out with a mysterious armor-clad woman named Maria releasing the Wisp (you!) from Aventheim Castle. Monsters have started to appear around the kingdom and Aventheim's forces are slowly being picked off. Using this Wisp's strange power, the souls of the dead knights fight all manner of monsters as well as fighting off those that would steal the throne, all in pursuit of the truth. Just what happened in Aventheim that caused the monsters to rise and begin destroying everyone and everything? Who exactly is Maria, and what is she trying to accomplish by accompanying the Wisp?
