Storyline

3-1 Story | Mana Sword Memories

The protagonist and Baashear return to the Mana Sanctuary where they report what they've discovered in Verdigourd to the Mana Goddess and their twin. The doppelganger seems perplex as to how the protagonist will be able to decipher the real Mana Sword from other artifacts that belong to their respective worlds. The Mana Goddess replies that while finding the real Mana Sword is important, gaining insights and experience from their journey is also a crucial part of the puzzle. She apologizes for being powerless, as it would make the whole search a lot easier for them. According to her, the mana fruits themselves are a patchwork of memories assembled together. She then encourages the main character to no give up, then disappears into thin air. The twin states that they would like to hear more stories about the protagonist's adventures. Baashear urges the main character to press on to the next world by harvesting the most recent mana fruit.
