Thirty-five years ago,
a new continent suddenly appeared.
Teeming with new species,
and ripe with precious minerals,
this new continent was full of unlimited possibilities.
"Magmell"—
that became its name.
People went into a frenzy.
Hoping to strike gold,
legions of explorers set their sights on Magmell.
Looks like we're surrounded.
Fine by me.
Time to try out some new skills!
I'm gonna be the king of this age of exploration!
This way, Boss.
Looks like a wipeout.
There are those who specialize in search and rescue in Magmell.

These people are called "anglers."
Angler
- Kusk Archipelago -
Boss, it's already noon.
I just want to sleep until tomorrow.
It's a clear, sunny day today.
When do you think more people die—
on sunny days, or on rainy days?
Sunny days, I think.
This is where that Boss angler lives...
Angler Services
I think the idea that you can't eat unless you work
is just one of our collective delusions as a species.
Breakfast is toast.
Without butter or jam.
Why not?
Because we have no money.
Well, I suppose it's good just toasted.
After today, I won't be able to toast it either.
Why not?
Because the power will be cut off.
Then I guess I'll make the best of it while I can.
Oh?
May I help you?
U-um...
I have a request for you...
Huh?
Hey!
Hm?
If possible, I'd prefer you to visit in a state of better health.
Oh... I apologize.
Ever since I was born, my body has been frail.
So? Why are you here, Mr. Kriks?
H-how did you...?
Oh...
You're pretty rich for someone your age.
So, what's your request?
W-well...
I want to give you this money to save my big brother Kunoris.
I refuse.
What!?
Why?
It's not enough.
Then how much more do you...
Can you put a price on your big brother's life?
I don't have much longer to live.
When I die, there'll be an insurance payout.
You can have it.
So...
Please help me!
Let's hear your story.
Both my parents were explorers of the new continent, Magmell.
I promise—
We'll come back with an Epona's Tear.
Don't worry, Kriks.
We need an Epona's Tear to cure your disease.
Kriks, once you get better,
let's go to Magmell together.
Yeah, let's go!
Huh?
Bro?
Where are Dad and Mom?
It's my fault...
It's my fault that Dad and Mom...
Bro...
It wasn't enough...
Nothing was...
That's amazing!
To get an A-class explorer's license at your age!
I swear I'll come back with an Epona's Tear.
And then...
We can go to Magmell together.
Yeah, let's go!
Sir?
What?
Let's go save your brother.
Huh?
Isn't that your request?
B-but, why the sudden...
Epona's Tears...
They go for a lot of money, you know.
Your brother's probably in the Bordoka Forest,
so let's head to the nearby Zone Six Fortress City.
We'll use the helicopter.
Huh? We can't fly there directly?
Magmell rejects foreign things.
Reject?
This 'copter isn't even armed—
it'd be way too dangerous.
Now, then.
- Ward Six Fortress City: Taidi -
So this is Magmell.
We'll use these from here on.
- Polny -
They're one of the few domesticated Magmell animals.
Explorers come here from all over the world.
And they pay with their lives.
The reason you need a license now
is because of how many explorers have died here.
Do you have a license, Mr. Inyo?
Anglers are the exception.
The job of an angler is to rescue distressed explorers, after all.
This is the Bordoka Forest, which takes up 80% of Zone Six.
We'll be going on foot from now on.
They're too scared to go any further than this.
Boss.
You've probably reached the Bordoka Forest by now.
Hurry.
I'm with you, Boss.
So?
R-right.
The fruit of the Epona has the power to forcibly reconstruct the body.
They say it can even give you ten times your physical strength.
Do you know why they call the fruit of the Epona an "Epona's Tear"?
No.
The Epona only blooms atop a mountain of corpses.
If your disease is cured, will you become an explorer too?
I want to be a Ractor.
A Ractor...
Ractors have the ability to create things with their minds.
There are people who say they don't exist...
But I believe in them.
Sir?
S-sorry, Mr. Inyo.
Just let me rest for a bit.
Zero.
Eat this.
You'll feel better.
Oh, is this...?
This is a wolfradish.
They're full of nutrients, right?
I'll add it to your fee.
We're in a hurry, so eat it as we walk.
Okay.
Where'd you get this?
By the way...
Five minutes after picking a wolfradish,
it turns deadly poisonous.
Mr. Inyo, there's someone over there!
Help...
Help... me...
Someone... Help...
He's in trouble! We've got to help!
If you want to die, go right ahead.
What?
That's a trap.
They keep their prey alive and make it walk around,
eating anyone who comes close.
Live bait, so to speak.
I never knew there were such horrifying creatures...
This is nothing compared to Magmell's true horror.
Can't we help him, somehow?
Like putting him out of his misery, at least.
No use.
Won't be worth a single penny.
What is that?
This sensor is linked to explorer badges.
The fact that it responded means your brother is still alive.
Is that true, Mr. Inyo?
Yeah.
Your brother is just ahead.
Oh, Boss. We have a problem.
There's a Prinzhawk nest ahead of you.
There are more than twenty adult birds.
Wait here, please.
What?
Need to take a piss.
Wh... what?
Mr. Inyo!
Bro?
Kriks?
Boss, the rest are flying away.
Looks like it's over, then.
Gotta work hard to take a piss.
Kriks...
Do you know how dangerous this place is?
I'm sorry...
I was just so worried about you.
Look at this.
Is that...
Yeah.
An Epona.
Wh-what is...
How... could...
The Epona blooms on top of corpses.
But why would...
It wasn't enough.
How could this happen?
Who would do such a thing?
Their two corpses weren't enough.
Bro?
Why...
That's why I got my friends together.
And it still wasn't enough.
This is it.
Sir!
Who are you?
Sir.
Zero, give him first-aid treatment.
Will do, Boss.
Answer me!
You killed him.
And your parents. And your friends.
Just for this little thing.
You don't know anything.
Even if we gave him the Epona's Tear,
it's not like his disease would be fully cured.
He'd die eventually.
Don't you think it'd be more worthwhile for someone who could live a long life to use it?
He risked his life to rescue you.
His body was on the verge of death.
He might've lived a little longer if he hadn't come here.
I have concluded first-aid treatment, Boss.
However, he remains...
Mr. Inyo...
Please save my brother.
I'm sure he's being manipulated by something.
Like that man we saw in the forest.
Listen, Mr. Inyo.
I'll die of my disease.
My brother is an excellent explorer.
He's my hero.
Heh.
Please save my brother.
Got it.
Mr. Inyo.
I'm so happy that we...
could explore...
together...
Heh. Finally kicked the bu—
This is the true horror of Magmell.
This place takes people's desire and hatred and amplifies them.
You killed your parents.
You killed your friends.
Last of all, you killed your brother.
Son of a bitch!
There's just one way to save you.
I'll make you into another meal for the Epona!
Haha! This feels great.
Dammit.
Ractor?
Yep!
If I get better, I want to become a Ractor.
Not an explorer?
I want to become a Ractor so I can help you, Bro!
That's stupid.
Ractors are just a fairy tale.
Ractor!
I'll save you.
Zero.
I'm so glad I have you.
Me too, Boss.
I lost so much to get here, but I still feel cramped
I thought I was understanding more and more, but I'm still ignorant
I still can't break free after being shut off
Fly out faster than a mechanical missile
Hello, hello new world, hello new world
Shout out loud enough to silence the haters
I'm sick of giving up and going back
Love me more than mutual destruction
Hello, hello new world, hello new world
At this moment, I say to you who haven't changed
Hello, waho, hello new world, hello new world
Let's reach the day the dreams we sung about come true
Our adventure may end, but we'll live on
Sing a new song
Until the day your future opens up

I came here like Dad told me to,
but is this really that legendary angler?
He seems kind of unreliable.
This girl next to him is staring daggers at me.
These two look like they're kids.
They're younger than me, right?
They're acting really cocky.
But I've got to believe in my dad.
Oh, she's glaring at me again.
Why?
