Sachi's life had always been slow and peaceful, with days spent in routine work and leisure. It seemed that nothing would change, and she was content with it despite the lingering yearning for a life with more adventure. However, a series of unexpected events on a very ordinary day changed everything. She wakes up in a world much different from hers, and is faced with the challenge to fulfil her responsibilities as the Chosen One – the IbaraTera, and save its people from the life of subjugation inflicted by the merciless Empire. She journeys through the vast lands to gather and master the powers of the elements of nature, with the aim to vanquish the one man leading the Empire who thrust the world into turmoil. On her journey, Sachi discovers more than herself and her responsibilities as the IbaraTera. Bonds are rekindled, precious friends are gained, and comrades with hearts blazing with the desire to end the tyranny join forces to bring back peace and balance to the kingdom.
