Description:
Sorey is one of the few humans capable of seeing magical beings known as Seraphim. While exploring ruins near the Seraphim village Elysia, he and Mikleo find a human knight and learn of the outside world, which is being plagued by Malevolence, causing misfortune, strife, and demonic transformations. Sorey soon finds himself tasked with solving this outbreak of Malevolence, but he must do so without succumbing to it himself.

=======================================================
0:00 Setting Off
Sorey tries to journey off on his own, but Mikleo follows him and reveals Zenrus already anticipated this. We get Zenrus's pipe in case we need to sell something.
4:49 Opening: White Light
7:04 Aroundight Forest
There are no encounters, but there are stone obstacles that you can't break yet.
8:00 Lakehaven Heights
You'll get some tutorials if you initiate combat with the local hellions. I had to turn down the difficulty to normal temporarily because I was running low on HP.
At the bridge to the city, you can sell Alisha's knife. It may seem bad to do so, but you can do an easy sidequest to get it back later.
22:38 Ladylake
While the city seems normal so far, Sorey and Mikleo will notices that some citizens, including a child, are already transformed into hellions.
Eventually, you will find a dog and the Foxman at Alisha's house. The dog chases after the Foxman, and you must chase after the dog quickly or it'll reach the Foxman first and get killed.
38:12 Boss: Foxman (Hard)
He has higher stats this time, but has fewer resistances, so you aren't penalized as much for initiating your combos with non-water artes. However, the alley is cramped, making it harder to move around his attacks compared to before. Be sure to use Tiger Blade in your combo, since it has a chance of buffing Sorey's attack.
39:52 Assassin Guild
Foxman gets plot stamina due to being a hellion and nearly kills the duo, but his fellow assassins stop him, since they don't want to continue the job to kill Alisha. They also reveal that his name is Lunarre. They hold Sorey at knifepoint, but advise him to go to the Sacred Blade Festival in the Sanctuary if he wants to help Alisha.
42:56 Ladylake P2
We're too late to get into the sanctuary, so we have to attempt the back. Since we sold the knife, the only way to get in is to either bribe the guard with 1000g (using the Sparrowfeathers merchant guild as a proxy) or sell Zenrus's pipe to cover the bribe. If you sell the pipe, you can get a unique attachment later.
48:45 Sacred Blade Festival
Unfortunately, it seems the audience and guards were manipulated and planted by Alisha's political enemy, Bartlow. This causes a protestor to hellionize and set the building ablaze with Malevolence-based flame. Sorey decides to pull the Sacred Blade to gain the power of purification as the Shepherd. The Lady of the Lake, Lailah, warns him that the Shepherd is a role that comes with unimaginable burdens, but Sorey wants a world where humans and Seraphim can live in harmony, so he accepts this role.
59:24 Werewolf Miniboss (Hard)
The werewolf actually has more physical attack than Lunarre, but one of Lailah's artes can target his species.
1:00:59 The New Shepherd
Sorey purifies the hellionized man and Bartlow isn't pleased that his plan to disgrace Alisha failed.
Due to suddenly gaining power, Sorey collapses and is out for three days. However, the townsfolk heard of his deeds and celebrates when he wakes up.
1:06:30 Ladylake P3
Sorey is now able to more clearly see the Malevolence in the air.
Lailah explains that we must someday face the Lord of Calamity, the source of Malevolence who produces Hellions. Unfortunately, she also took an oath to gain the power of purification, which prevents her from talking about certain subjects.
When you return to the inn, you get Sorey's weapon back, though you might be able to find a better one from the shop or from random battles.
