Project: Hymnus (2022)

“If there was a button that could destroy the world would you press it?”

Voices— The Voices keep ringing in his head. Sinister, just like a devil baiting its prey. However also… sad. Is it a cry for help? Or maybe a desperate wail of anguish and hatred? He doesn’t know. 

Aone, the lone traveler who tries to find salvation from his emptiness. Shiola, the exiled witch who lost her memories. Two individuals, a fateful encounter in a magical yet crazy world of Eden.

Hymnus runs through Eden and helps human civilization to thrive. Due to its volatile nature, control is necessary. If Hymnus were blood, then the witches would be veins. The lullaby of Hymnus, guided by the witches to light up Eden.

However, behind great power, there must be a great price to pay. When the brightest light shines, the darkest shadow lurks. From the clear-cut power-hungry people to the enigmatic cult in which no one knows their identities and objectives. Not to mention, the mysteries and secrets behind Hymnus that only a handful knows about.

This is their journey. The journey of two, filled with myriad colors of emotions, meeting new faces in new lands. The journey where they face their pasts and try to make things right, but alas, none is without sacrifice.
