After receiving strange reports from one of the kingdom's cities, the church sends a Holy Knight named Sonia to investigate. According to the reports, a group has appeared in the city with the ability to hypnotize, and are using it to rob the city unopposed. Upon arrival, these reports are quickly proven true as Sonia's disciples are robbed of the group's operation funds. Now penniless, Sonia must work side jobs while carrying out her investigation, and uncover the culprits behind the incident.(Storyline via IGDB)
