Synopsis

edit

Thousands of years ago, a large civilization existed deep underground. There, an artificial sun called “skylight” brought light to its people. In ancient times, the “Masked King” Sheargan appeared, sealed the "Kukuri" that plagued the underground world, and turned on the skylight to release people from the darkness. Sheargan was worshiped as a savior and became an absolute being. Serving the Sheargan and managing the skylight is a family whose mission is to illuminate the dark. Siblings Lilyn and Sauda are searching for the fuel for the skylight, "Raige", as it is getting less and less. While doing so, Lilyn meets a man names Masala, who resides in a village where the skylight has been turned off after angering Sheargan. While working with Masala, Lilyn and Sauda get to know the existence of a world that they had not seen. The story will change the fate of the brother and sister, as well as the underground world.
