Once there was a holy place called Argool which was founded by fivelegendary lndora Gods. One day, suddenly the blackest tragedy happened.
The prosperous holy place, Argool was attacked by the troops of the cruelking called Ligar. The sky of the holy place was completely covered withthe flying castle of Ligar and his army of dangerous beasts. These animal ized soldiers came down from the sky and committed the most atrocious
cruelties. In a single day, they established the kingdom of EVIL. In addi tion, Ligar took away the "Door to Peace" symbolizing the peace that had
been created by lndora .
The hope for peace disappeared with the loss of the "Door to Peace" andthe people of Argool ceased to smile and could only pray fo r salvation.
They prayed an ancient passage to counter the fulfilled prophecy of
Ligar's evil reign of terror. The legend says, "When the peaceful land is covered with EVIL SPIRITS, a brave soldier will be brought to life from thedead , for the purpose of saving persecuted people. The people of Argool's
painful prayers were so loud that it reverberated throughout the mountains and traveled a long distance in the land of Algosu . And at last Rygar, the hero came back from the dead in order to restore peace to theland of Argool, battling the forces of evil everywhere. Join forces withRygar!
