  >>In the world of Auldrant, Fonons are the main composition of all things, giving life to everyone residing on it. Here, everyone relies on the prophecy known as "The Score". The Score dictates everything that is to happen in Auldrant, and not following it is considered as a crime against the Order of Lorelei, its keepers.
  Enter Luke fon Fabre, the son of the Duke of the Kingdom of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear. When he was just ten years old, he was kidnapped by the enemy empire, Malkuth. This left him with a devastating trauma; he forgot all his memories from before he was kidnapped. Ever since then, he has been forced to remain in the mansion, never knowing what life is on the outside.
  Seven years after the incident, the arrival of a mysterious woman in the Fabre Manor causes Luke to be spirited away halfway across the world, to the Malkuth Empire. There, he gets caught in the businesses of the Order of Lorelei and the Score, throwing himself in the abyss of his undeniable destiny...
