Important: Game Story

Ziacgam is a land of diversity in both terrain and people. There are many creatures as well as people, most of which Terrans (people from Earth) have never heard of! It was peaceful for centuries, until the Balance was disrupted.

Ten teenagers. Ten Beads. Ten Patron Sprites -- and one colossal enemy to defeat.
