Long ago, there lived a race known as the Crusaders. The Crusaders were a people of strong magic powers, but they were not satisfied with the limited power of their individuals. The black mages wished to use the powers of the white, and the white the green. And so they sought to develop a way that one individual can cast master level magic of all types, even without knowledge in the field. Thus, the Ancient Rings came into existence. These rings, containing the knowledge of their ancient people, gave the Crusaders great power, and they wrongfully sought to use this power to increase their dominion over other peoples.
It is said that the Crusaders became so powerful that one of their own was able to destroy their entire civilization, bringing their quest for absolute power to an end.
Nowadays, the Ancient Rings, a once great weapon, is now considered nothing more than a priceless treasure with no practical use, for only those of Crusader blood could ever use them. However, some claim that there are a select few with the power to use the rings.
Nevertheless, the story of the Crusaders is over, and a new story begins. Now a new threat befalls the world. To the East lies the kingdom of Wrek and their powerful king. The king seeks to expand his power over all of the world, and thusfar has been successful in doing so.
But our story begins not with the king, but with a small boy and his friends on whom the fate of the world rests. The only hope for the freedom of the world.
Samuel Fade was in fighting class with about twenty students.
"Mr. Fade," called the teacher. Then the teacher handed Samuel a wooden sword and said, "Defend yourself."
"Wuh?"
"I want to demonstrate through you the Limit Break technique. After taking enough hits, you should be able to find a hidden power which will grant you a new attack. But it will work if you block enough hits as well, so try to defend yourself."
The teacher swung at Sam repeatedly, but it was obvious he was making it easy for Sam to block him.
"Teacher, I think I can feel it now."
"Then use it. I can take it."
Suddenly, Sam gained a boost of speed and hit the teacher multiple times a second.
"Good," said the teacher, apparently still fine after the flurry of hits. "Now I want each of you to partner up and get in line. But instead of hitting each other, hit this wooden dummy here."
