===Offline tutorial and Prologue===
The story begins in the village of [[Tenton]], the home of the {{Hero 10}} and [[Hero's sibling|their sibling]], when the Hero is looking at the sky at the center of the village. Their sibling calls them, and is shown to be riding the [[Galapogod]] along with [[Tenda]], the village's priestess and elder. When the Galapogod reaches the Hero’s location, their sibling offers them a ride, but is immediately interrupted by Tenda, denying the Hero the opportunity.

A strange noise awakens the Hero from the apparent dream, only to learn that their sibling accidentally destroyed the village's supply of Perky Beans, Tenda's favorite food, in an attempt to multiply them via [[alchemy]]. At Tenton's [[church]] the Hero meets Tenda's grandson, [[Singh]], who instructs the Hero to gather various items from the local villagers, in order to fashion a pillow to serve as compensation for the loss of the Perky Beans. Upon receiving the pillow, Tenda asks the Hero to look for their sibling, and despite being upset at Singh for disturbing her, she still uses the pillow they made, falling into a deep sleep. After locating their sibling successfully synthesizing a hat, the Hero returns to the village, where Tenda announces that she has received an omen from the Galapogod: the village will soon be destroyed, with no survivors. However, hope remains in the form of a plant known as the Tensu Flower, which blooms in a [[Cave of the Aquatic Trees|cave]] to the [[Unnamed Flowerfield|north]]. The Hero, their sibling and Singh are chosen to retrieve it. Arriving at the cave, Singh mentions that Tenda had earlier mentioned that even if the Tensu Flower was successfully retrieved, only one person would survive the destruction of Tenton. The Hero’s sibling is shocked at this revelation, but Singh quickly points out the possibility that Tenda was only referring to a worst-case scenario, and the party continues further into the cave. 

The party reaches a large chamber at the back of the cave, where several Tensu Flowers are in full bloom. Unfortunately, they are not alone, as the flowers are immediately attacked by a demonic mage named [[Bedora|Bedorā]]. Singh tells him to stop, but Bedorā has no intention of giving even a single flower to anyone capable of crossing through time. Singh is confused by Bedorā’s words, causing him to cackle at how the people of Tenton allowed themselves to forget something so important. He attacks the trio, but loses. Despite his body at its limit, Bedorā swears to fulfill his master’s orders and unleashes one final attack on the Tensu Flowers, decimating them moments before dying. Singh inspects the ruined flowers, and as he does so, recalls an old text he had read, of how the people of Tenton had a spell to travel freely through time in an age long past. Unfortunately, the number of people able to use the spell dwindled, and the spell was lost entirely in the span of several hundred years. As Singh prepares to give up and return to the village, the Hero’s sibling notices a glowing light, obscured by smoke. In a stroke of immeasurable luck, one of the Tensu Flowers had survived.

However, by the time the party returns to the village, they find a horde of monsters burning everything to the ground. A stray fireball flies towards the Hero’s sibling, causing both the Hero and Singh to panic. The Hero reaches out to their sibling, who is then immediately surrounded by a bright light, with their surroundings frozen, as if time itself had stopped; the Hero had unknowingly cast the ancient spell to cross time. The Hero’s sibling immediately disappears, leaving no indication as to where or when they were sent. A monster witnessing the event quickly notifies his master, [[Nelgel|Nelgel the Netherlord]], who was supervising the attack. Nelgel is far from surprised that there was still someone who could travel through time, as he suspected as such, to begin with. He immediately kills the Hero and every remaining villager in Tenton, although the Galapogod remains unharmed, due to its innate ability. 

With his goal accomplished, Nelgel retreats to the skies and casts a dark cloud over the central continent, [[Rendacia]]. Five lights spawn from the Galapogod's body, one of which rescues the Hero's soul and departs for the [[Room of Revival]]. There, five gods representing the different races of Astoltia give the Hero a chance to reincarnate into a new body of their choice, after which they receive an Adventure Log to seek out their destiny in Astoltia. {{spoiler|start}}
A man pursues a [[Woebergine|woebergine]] with a knife in his hand, but suddenly stumbles and falls to the ground. Much to the man's ire, this allows the woebergine to flee. Turning around, the man discovers that he had tripped over the [[Hero's sibling]], who was lying asleep on the ground. The sibling awakens, and quickly informs the man that [[Tenton]] is in danger, but the name is unfamiliar to him. He assumes the sibling had simply washed up from the ocean, and directs them to Narubia, the island's only known settlement. 

The sibling attempts to inform the people of Narubia of Tenton's predicament, but much like with the man earlier, no one knows of any place called Tenton, save for a girl named Ririoru, who is afflicted with merazo fever. While visiting Ririoru's home, the sibling notices and examines an [[Alchemy Pot]], but is immediately approached by the man who tripped over them earlier, revealed to be Ririoru's father, [[Isshou]]. Despite his skepticism, Isshou teaches the sibling the basics for performing [[Alchemy|alchemy]]. The sibling exhibits remarkable talent, and after hearing Isshou's plight regarding his daughter, synthesizes the medicine needed to save Ririoru's life. 

Upon recovering, Ririoru explains that she learned the name Tenton from a letter in a bottle that she found washed up on the shore. Isshou remarks that such a detail leaves no indication as to Tenton's location, but Ririoru retorts that the bottle's pristine condition proves the village must be nearby. As thanks for saving her life, Ririoru offers free use of Isshou's alchemy pot to the sibling, leaving her father with little say in the matter. 

Isshou explains to the sibling that there are 7 shrines located throughout the island, and that investigating them may provide a clue for returning to Tenton. He provides the sibling with the blue shrine key, which he had synthesized himself, and the sibling begins their journey throughout the island, gathering materials found within the various shrines and growing stronger from repeated encounters with monsters. The sibling eventually synthesizes the gold shrine key, and is able to enter the 7th and final shrine. Inside, the sibling is confronted by [[Balzack|Baalzack]], who reveals that the 7 shrines were his creations, designed to cultivate potential alchemists' abilities so that he can steal their power for himself. The sibling is triumphant over him, however, and proceeds beyond the shrine.

The sibling finds themselves in Tenton, at long last, but there are no signs of damage from the monsters' raid. The villagers recite a proclamation from the [[Galapogod]] of a saviour who would save [[Tenda|Tenda's]] life during an important ceremony, and that the sibling must be this savior, considering Tenda's life is currently in jeopardy. The sibling is given a recipe, which they then use to synthesize a mysterious bean. The sibling delivers this bean to Tenda, and with it, she is able to complete her ceremony. As the ceremony reaches its conclusion, Tenton's villagers are called to welcome a juvenile Tenda as their new priestess. Tenda explains that the mysterious bean delivered by the sibling allowed her to regain her strength at a crucial moment during the ceremony. She compliments the taste of this bean, and christens it "Perky Bean," all while requesting that the villagers amend it to their harvests. Furthermore, as a show of gratitude for their role as a savior, Tenda welcomes the sibling as a proper citizen of Tenton. As the crowd disperses, Tenda reveals to the sibling that she is already aware of the sibling's arrival via time travel. Unfortunately, no one is able to cast the spell to cross through time in this particular era, which means the sibling is stranded in the past, with no means of returning to the present. As a consolation, Tenda offers to use her mystical power to send the sibling's feelings to the {{Hero 10}} in the form of a prayer. The sibling begins to pray as Tenda calls out to the Hero. Upon logging in to the online game after completing this story, the Hero will be greeted with a vision of their sibling, who delivers the hat they had synthesized during the prologue.
