STORY

After a deadly accident, you wake up in the unfamiliar land of Desideria, assuming the equally unfamiliar identity of Ciel Rozenbleu – a sorceress in the royal military. It’s your life now. A new path will be carved by your hands.

The world of “Stand by Me” is set in the Una Continent, which is made up of three countries:

  • Desideria: A powerful empire where magic reigns supreme. Their current goal is to conquer Idris and unite the continent of Una.
  • Cantara: A Desiderian colony that lacks magical expertise but specializes in technology.
  • Idris: A hunter-gatherer civilization that possesses a powerful form of magic that manipulates one’s life force – Priroda.

Trapped in an unfamiliar world and with no way to get home, you stumble about trying to play the part of Ciel Rozenbleu.

But you’re not Ciel. You’re a modern misfit in this archaic fantasy world, and you have your own opinions.
Will you stand firm in your beliefs, or will you rethink your allegiances?
Who will you choose to stand by?
