====Alchemist Note====
'Legend has it that combining a [[life bracer]] with a [[Miracle sword|certain sword]] will result in the creation of a most [[Über miracle sword|miraculous item]].

'The only question is which sword to use?

'I've devoted thirty years of my life to the study of [[alchemy]], and I still haven't figured it out.'

====Mask of Darkness====
'Those who wear the [[phantom mask]] cloak themselves in the darkness, making it more difficult for enemies to hit them.

'It is said that this mysterious mask is the product of the combination of a certain [[Iron headgear|iron helm]] and a [[Dark robe|certain dark garb]].'

====Winter issue of ''We Love Our Weapons''====
'Having a hard time hacking down [[liquid metal slime]]s before they can flee?  You're not alone.

'There's only one kind of weapon for situations like this.  And that's the ultimate boomerang.  The [[metal wing boomerang]].

'Not only does it let you attack multiple enemies in one throw, but it's powerful enough to damage even the hardened body of a [[metal king slime]]!

'Sadly, the exact composition of these metal wing boomerangs is shrouded in secrecy.

'All we know is that they're a combination of a [[Razor wing boomerang|certain boomerang]] and [[Metal king spear|another powerful weapon]].'

====Book of prophecies====
'When [[Cheiron's bow|Cheiron]] and [[Eros' bow|Eros]] meet with a [[great bow]], the result will be a [[Odin's bow|god]] to be reckoned with.'

====Ancient Superweapons====
'There are many weapons in the world, but the [[megaton hammer]] is famed as the heaviest of them all.

'Unfortunately, all who knew how to make this ferocious weapon have long since passed on, and the exact recipe has been forgotten.

'All we know is that a [[Conquerer's axe|big axe]], a [[War hammer|big hammer]] and some [[orichalcum]] are required to make the [[megaton hammer]].'

====Cursed Shields of Yore====
'The curse placed upon the [[ruinous shield]] is too powerful to be lifted by [[saint's ashes]] alone.

'In order to render the ruinous shield fit for use, it must paradoxically be made even harder and stronger.

'If you manage to restore the ruinous shield to its former glory, you will hold in your hands the [[Metal king shield|strongest shield]] the world has ever known.'

====The [[Metal king spear|Metal King Spear]] (Remake only)====
'The metal king spear - prized champion of the spearman's arsenal, boasting exceptional strength. And this marvellous weapon can be made by dint of alchemy.

'According to an ancient recipe, there are just two ingredients: a [[holy lance]] and the best [[Metal wing boomerang|boomerang]].

'But how does one obtain the all-important boomerang? That is the question. Dear [[Goddess]], how you mock us!'

====Praise for the Lord of Darkness (Remake only)====
'If [[Rhapthorne]] succeeds in unifying the world, will we get to see all that exotic clothing from far-flung lands? I would love to feast my eye on some of that [[oriental warrior wear]].

'Apparently, you can make an outfit like that from a [[flowing dress]], some kind of [[Crimson robe|blazing robe]], and a [[Lunar fan|fan with a picture of the moon on it]]. But how do you combine those things?'

====Old note (Remake only)====
'It's no use. Attempting to infiltrate the Lord of Darkness's fortress was always a fool's errand. At any moment, I will be discovered.

'If I could only make that [[Sacrosanct armour|special armour]]. But there's no [[sacred armour]] around here, let alone a [[Ruby of protection|ruby]] and a [[recovery ring]].

'At least if others follow in my footsteps, they may find this note and know the secret recipe. Good luck, my fellow questers, I wish you well!'

===Biography (Remake only)===
'There was once a mighty man known as the "Big Boss". He had the appearance of a demon, and one look from his fierce eyes made any foe tremble with fear.

'Then one day, the man encountered the [[Goddess]], our saviour. Little by little, his heart became filled with lover for Her.

'Wishing to express his adoration, he gave the [[Goddess]] an offering of cheese. It was such a maladroit act of worship that She fell instantly in love with him.

'From that day forward, the "Big Boss", despite his demonic appearance, devoted himself to protecting his love, and became known as the Guardian of Lovers.'

===Ancient chronicles===
====Book 1====
'Our Lord of Darkness [[Rhapthorne]] has launched his glorious new campaign to reign over the [[World of Light]].

'However, a pathetic would-be [[Ramia|Godbird]] has attempted to stand between the Dark Lord and his magnificent ambitions.

'Nevertheless, our mission to subdue the [[World of Light]] proceeds as planned.  And no-one, god or man, shall stand in our way.'

====Book 2====
'Long ago, the [[World of Darkness]] and the [[World of Light]] were united as a single chaotic whole.

'Our great lord [[Rhapthorne]] has begun the process that shall see the two worlds united once more.

'When his glorious goal is achieved, [[Rhapthorne]] will no longer be revered as the Lord of Darkness, but hailed as the Lord of All Creation!'

====Book 3====
'The [[Rhapthorne|Lord of Darkness]] created a floating fortress to amplify his near limitless power and act as a gateway between the worlds of light and darkness.

'When the portal between the two worlds finally opens, the dark brotherhood will flood into the [[World of Light]] and fill the skies.

'When this comes to pass, the feeble minions of light will be annihilated.  Doomsday approaches and the poor fools can do nothing to stop it!'

====Book 4====
'[[Ramia|Empyrea]] and her pathetic [[human]] minions can muster little in the way of resistance, but caution is required when dealing with the [[Dragovian]]s.

'They were nearly wiped out the last time they faced the Lord of Darkness in battle, so the chances of them joining in the fray are slim.  Still...

'We must determine [[Dragovian Sanctuary|where]] they have hidden themselves.  There must be no surprises when [[Rhapthorne]]'s day of reckoning comes.'
