Episode 1 · Ys

Ys

Mythical beasts have been pouring over the walls of Esteria for years, and every skirmish thins the defenders a little more. Inside the castle town of Minea, people have stopped hoping. That's when the prophecy starts to spread: a young hero from the mainland will come and save them. Adol Christin isn't thinking about prophecies. He's just a wanderer who wanted to see the mysterious island, and he almost drowns getting there, washing up on the shore with nothing. A fortuneteller named Sarah Tovah points him toward a set of legendary books, the Books of Ys, and suddenly his private adventure becomes everyone's last chance. Because the monsters answer to a dark mage, and he has no plans to let some shipwrecked nobody find the one thing that could stop him. So Adol and his small band of allies start crossing the island, one ruin and one fight at a time, chasing a legend that might be their only way to survive. But is he really the hero the goddesses promised, or just some guy who happened to wash ashore at the right time?
