Story

In a distant past, there was a woodcutters family who lived at the outskirts of a small forest. Inside their house Grandmother was talking to her grandchildren.

"Long ago, there was a very violent dragon in this vicinity that was terrorising the villagers. Soon a wizard came from a country to the north, confined the dragon in a fresco and buried him deep inside the ground. Take a look at that picture. That wizard was your great-grandfather!"

When Grandmother pointed to the picture hanging on the wall, their pet Pochi entered the door, holding some sharp object in his mouth. Wasn't that a scale from the dragon that should be buried deep within the ground?!! When they saw this, Father and Mother, realising the dragon is starting to revive, began to make preparations to go to the underground dungeon. They will slay the revived dragon. That is their true line of work.

"You won't be able to win from something like a dragon!"

Father smiled and responded to his concerned children: "Everything will be all right, there is a Dragon Slayer."

The Dragon Slayer. It's a magical sword; the only weapon that can bring down the dragon. Therefore it is protected by 4 hidden crowns.

"We can help you look for the crowns too, if it's okay with you, Dad." "Of course it is. If everyone cooperates, we will surely beat the dragon."

Where are those 4 crowns, which protect the Dragon Slayer? Can they really defeat the dragon?

Now the journey of their adventure has begun.
