It's been many years since the last hero adventured, and his magical sword is lost to the ages.

Onyx's power tempted the Dark Bishop Fulle, who now seeks to retrieve the Dark Orb used to seal away Onyx and rule Dotania. Worried about being forgotten, the King of Dotania issued an order: The Kingdom should advance into 3-D! However, this advancement came at a cost, as the change to 3-D made everything more advanced, including the power of the Dark King Onyx, whose evil could no longer be contained by simple 2-D seals.
