Plot
The player controls a female character with no official name, referred just as a "Soldier" in the introduction. She wakes up within a township named Ehdo and the first quest is to rescue the kidnapped princess from an evil wizard. Although the reward is the princess's hand in marriage, this is not possible because the Soldier is female.
The King instead throws a party, but the food was poisoned. So, the Soldier has to travel to a faraway township to obtain medication for food poisoning.
When the Soldier gets back to Ehdo Castle to inform the king, she finds out that the king has been turned to stone. She has to defeat the monster that cast the spell in order to turn him back to normal. After long travels in the northern continent and in the sky world, the Soldier reaches the township of Zellia, where an old man says that the princess is an impostor. He gives the Soldier a Crystal of Truth, so that she may enter the Phantom Tower, a tower with five identical fake images to confuse anybody trying to enter.
Using the Crystal, the Soldier manages to destroy the images and enters the real tower. She destroys the monster at the end of this tower and rescues the real princess. They go to Ehdo Castle, where the impostor is revealed to be none other than the Wizard. As the Wizard dies, defeated by the soldier, he plans to transfer his spirit into the body of a dragon in order to become invincible.
Also, after the wizard dies, not only is the curse that turned the King broken, but also the one that turned the Soldier into a woman. He now has to kill the dragon and the wizard before they completely merge. He passes through the ice dungeon into the Final Tower. He fights the wizard again, defeating him and sealing him in the Legendary Sword found inside the tower.
He heads back to the king to inform him of the wizard's defeat. The princess wants to marry him, but the Soldier refuses, stating that he must go back home. She follows him to his village, where the game ends.

“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”

“The plot! The plot! What kind of plot could a poet possibly provide that is not surpassed by the thinking, feeling reader? Form alone is divine.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
