STORY
Nexus Reveries is settled in the world of Emeris, precisely in the Last Kingdom of Dyssira.
Magic exists and rules in this world, everyone has a stronger or weaker mana, and increasing the magical strength is quite difficult for almost everyone.
People who have ease at increasing their capacities are called "Ascenders", but are often discovered late by Guilds.
450 years ago, a miasma called "The Curse", coming from nowhere, covered the entire world and either killed or corrupted every form of life exposed for too long.
At this very moment, a crystal called "The Nexus" fell on Emeris, in the mountain range of Myssara.
This giant crystal had the surprising ability to repel the cursed miasma.
The capital sent the Guard of the Kingdom to take samples of the crystal and carry them to villages, cities and, of course, to the capital to protect the cities from the Curse.
The eponymous capital of Dyssira got the biggest sample, nicknamed the "First Fragment".
However, the energy in the fragments are not unlimited. For this reason, each village and city had to refill its fragment by sending adventurers to the Capital, fill a condensed Nexus and come back to refill the Framgent of the city.
Unfortunately, the First Fragment also reached a critical threshold, menacing the whole kingdom of extinction.
> Will you be able to refill the First Fragment and save the kingdom ?
> Will you find the cause of The Curse ?
