The Saga Continues
In the beginning, there was just a cosmic being called “Creator”. The Creator created devils, and gods and goddesses. But he did not want the devils to live in the same universe as the gods: For this reason, he created a world called Aernas for the living, and another called Elyos for the dead and the demons. The demons and the dead who lived in Elyos were to be known as “Asmodians”.
Ernasis, the goddess of war, Lisnar, the goddess of mercy, and Amenias, the goddess of wisdom came to Aernas. Humans, elves, and dwarves were already living here. Goddesses helped them to create a civilization called “Kounat”. All humanoid races started to live together in Kounat.

The goddesses left Aernas to wander the universe after creating a “perfect world”. The Asmodians in Elyos began to attack Kounat through dimensional gates. The Kounat people managed to use the power of the goddesses with a weapon called “Aernas Hammer”, and repelled the Asmodian attack. This event was to be known as “First Magic War”.
Centuries passed. The rulers of Kounat decided to investigate and use the power of the unyielding goddesses in the event of another Asmodian attack. But the power corrupted them. Aernas Hammer exploded with incredible force when used by these corrupted beings. The blast completely destroyed Kounat.

Centuries passed, once more. This was a very chaotic period for Aernas, and there were frequent wars between the kingdoms. The biggest of these battles came between Kanavan and Serdin. In reality, the cause of the war was the evil plans of a sorceress named Kaze’aze. Kaze’aze caused two kingdoms to enter a war with lies and false information.
A special group of adventurers, called “Grand Chase”, was created to hunt down Kaze’aze and stop the war before it’s too late. The group pursued the wizard in all Aernas and experienced countless adventures. Some group members were separated, some betrayed each other.
GrandChase finally managed to defeat Kaze’aze, but they felt a much greater evil: There was another threat from Elyos, which was strong enough to destroy all Aernas. The Grand Chase group decided to investigate this threat and…
…And, the original story ends here. For a long time, we wondered what had happened to the first GrandChase group that continued their adventures on Elyos. In a short time, we’ll be able to learn what actually happened to them. Now, you’re ready for GrandChase’s global release, and you know how the story begins: Join us to learn how it ends!
