About Hope Trigger
"Once, this was a beautiful kingdom.
Every citizen wore a smile.
It was a land where technology and magic thrived in harmony—renowned for its mastery of alchemy, revered by all.
But one night, everything fell apart. The barbarians broke their oath. The kingdom was lost. The people scattered.
And I...
was left imprisoned in endless darkness."
The story begins a thousand years ago, when a flourishing civilization vanished overnight, leaving behind only desolate ruins. Now, a millennium later, a young girl arrives at these ruins and meets someone who claims to be the queen of that fallen kingdom.
Together, they begin to uncover the secrets of a world long forgotten.
Yet all of this... only exists within an indistinguishable, illusory world.
