They're called the Sacred Statue, something that turns people's greatest fear into power. Someone afraid of heights suddenly flew at a ridiculous height, his greatest fear. Someone afraid to be alone suddenly became invisible for everyone to never notice him, his greatest fear. Someone afraid of facing people suddenly glows brightly to attract attention, his greatest fear. And someone afraid of a demon suddenly summoned a demon to stay by his side, his greatest fear. But to make use of the power granted to them by the Sacred Statue, one has to firstly conquer their fear as their First Quest. Only when they accomplish the mission will they be able to make use of their ability and be called a "Master".

But later, they will realize that the power they gain is nothing compare to the mythological creatures that will soon arise...
