Tia's magic item shop is carrying a lot of debt, to the point that parts of the building and precious grimoires were used as mortgage... In a land far away, rumor has it that untouched treasure lies in an uncharted area known as "The Cave of No Return," where dangerous monsters live. "We will be able to buy back everything if we get our hands on the treasure!" Tia and Doll, the magical lifeform she created, are embarking on a treasure-hunting adventure!(Storyline via IGDB)
