SEQUEL blight

SEQUEL blight is the first game of the "Sequel" series, following the story of the player alongside four main characters: Rabi, Uula, Nyx, and Tirma. It was first released on March 1 of 2017, and last updated on July 15 of the same year.

The story takes place in the Vaeltria continent, in a world where humans and monsters fight to get a resource that is running short as time passes, mana, the source of all life. Humans were significantly affected by this shortage, as human males, a natural source of mana, started decreasing in number due to their poor affinity with mana. As a consequence of these events, adventurers and organizations began searching all around the continent for an alternative source that could return peace to the world.

Prologue
The game begins with the player waking up in an unknown room, unable to remember anything about his past. When the player starts looking for an exit, Rabi kicks her way inside the room alongside her partner, Dire. They introduce themselves to the player and help him get out of that room while filling him in about mana and the events that took place in the past.

On their way to the exit, the group finds a robot from the Aurum Company that suddenly attacks them, but Rabi fights it and ultimately destroys it, cleaning the way and allowing them to get out.

Chapter 1
After arriving at Rabi's house in Central Haven, the player meets Uula, a girl who works as a subordinate for the Aurum Company. She explains how the robot Rabi just destroyed was in the middle of an important mission to find a natural source of mana in the continent. Uula started fearing the mission's failure could get her in trouble with the company, so Rabi offered her help to go looking for mana in place of the robot as an apology for destroying it; Uula accepts the offering and decides to tag along as well.

On their journey to the north of Haven, the party finds a young succubus lying on an old graveyard's floor; Rabi decides to help her, giving the succubus a bit of her mana. Once the succubus regained her energy, she introduced herself as Nyxryuuna; similar to the player, Nyx couldn't remember anything about her past, so, having nowhere to go, she resolves to join the player's party. Despite her condition, she quickly became helpful throughout the mission, as she could sense and track down the source of mana with more precision than any artificial method.

After following Nyx's indications and beating a powerful enemy in the deepest part of the Stinky Swamp, the group got their hands on an amazing resource, an infinite source of mana, the Immortal Mana.

Chapter 2
Rabi and the others return to Central Haven to discuss what to do with the Immortal mana; however, before they could decide, Tirma barges in with a request for Rabi. Tirma explains that the Sage Group is hosting a secret event at the Great Arena, which made the Miruess Army suspect something serious might be happening. Rabi agrees to go in place of the Army not to bring suspicion, making Tirma join the party to help them on the mission.

On their way to the arena, the group manages to get some info about the event, discovering it to be a strength contest between powerful adventurers from Vaeltria. The group decides to go a little further on the investigation and joins the competition the next day.

Once the group arrives at the arena, it gets revealed that Gemina, a high rank inside the Sage Group, is the host of the event. She makes all the adventurers fight a powerful monster simultaneously, ending in the defeat of all of them, including the player's party. While moving the unconscious bodies out of the arena, Gemina recognizes the player and steals the Immortal mana from him, to finally throw all the party members inside a prison along with all the other adventurers.

The player wakes up inside a cell alongside Rabi and Uula. Once they notice Gemina took the Immortal mana, they regroup with Tirma, Nyx and Dire to escape the prison and recover what got stolen from them.

Not being careless this time, the group comes up with an ambush plan, managing to separate the monster from Gemina's side to fight her alone. However, before they could defeat her, Gemina used her magic to teleport far away from the arena, taking the Immortal mana with her.

Chapter 3
After the plan's failure, the group realizes how powerless they are against the Sage Group, so they decide to ask for help to the other big organizations, starting with the Miruess Army. Once ready, Tirma helps the group get into the Miruess Army HQ, so they can meet the commander and explain her the actions of the Sage Group; however, despite all their efforts, they were not believed due to lack of proof.

After getting the same outcome with the Aurum Company, the group decides to move on from the stolen Immortal mana to look for other pieces that could be scattered around the continent.
