About Dragon Quest
The story begins with the protagonist Dai, growing up listening to the stories of the great hero, Avan defeating the Demon King, Hadlar. After Hadler’s defeat, all the monsters that were kept under his will were freed.
Dai is the only human on the island of Dremline, where most of the freed monsters fled, and he grew up surrounded by monsters. Many years later, Avan hears about brave Dai, and comes to teach him to become a hero.
Unfortunately, Hadler gets resurrected and comes to destroy Avan. To protect his student, Avan uses a self-sacrifice spell but is unable to defeat the demon.
When all seems bleak, a mark appears on Dai’s forehead, and his true powers come out, barely fending off Hadler. Dai and Popp set off on a journey to avenge Avan and bring peace to the world.
