=== Chapter 1 ===
A mysterious girl who carries an unknown curse is searching for the cure through all Engardin. She got some new clues from the Reincarnates, which leads her to an island on Teardrop. This is Aros' secret lair. Once a highly-ranked mage of Holy Grounds, Aros must know something about the curse.
=== Chapter 2 ===
The girl failed to find Aros at her secret hiding spot in Teardrop. Following the clues from the journals, she travels to Rainbow Plains, only to find the corpse of an Ode named "The Finger", as Aros is still nowhere to be seen. Right next to "The Finger" lies a magic letter, a common item used by mages of Holy Grounds to reach each other.
=== Chapter 3 ===
Using her unique Crystalize Spells, the girl protected Aross soul for the moment. She only needs to safely Rebuild Aros from the well to learn more about the curse. Seems like the nearest Arteefex is right at the deep bottom of Resting Town. She was mindful enough to step away from villagers in case of any trouble.
=== Chapter 4 ===
Arteefex seems to be defiled by some kind of ominous power... The girl stopped the Rebuild ritual in time to protect Aros' soul from that unknown power. Yet the sudden interruption caused Aros' to be more unstable. Therefore, she decided to head to Teardrop first - on the other side of the lake there lies two institutes built by humans. Maybe she could find the way to preserver Aros there.
=== Chapter 5 ===
Institute of Entity has long become ruins in the forest ever since the Razing. The numerous monsters lying around there were all test subjects of humans once, which they used for the research of souls, entities and bodies. The girl remembered that she could find a soul-stabilizing reagent labeled No.4 here, which was the final result of countless sacrifices, yet it is now the only hope for Aros.
=== Chapter 6 ===
There was no desert in Engardin at the very beginning. Yet as the Institute of Spirit went further on their research, humans have learned the way to extract and conserve spiritual power directly from living things. Therefore, the once flourished forest along with everything in it had become energy that fueled the war. That was the first time humans created and collected energy that could replace the Dews, at the cost of all the original lives in the desert. Now that the girl traveled to this sanded land, searching for a special vessel to contain Aros' soul.
=== Chapter 7 ===
Across the desert and the Misty Waters is the Well of Hydro, the residence of Samsare, the Sentinel of Engardin and Goliath of Reincarnation. By the coopertation between the Reincarnates and the Hydro Goliath, the girl managed to talk the Guide of Souls into helping her to Rebuild Aros. Making sure that the ritual was a success, shw walks up to Aros, hoping to find out the cure for her curse from the one who just woke up.
=== Chapter 8 ===
The girl returned to Grand Archives of Holy Grounds, yet that mysterious mage who rules this place was nowhere to be found. God's Palace underground is a place that went through the entire history of mankind; it's where the first drop of water appears in the world, where LUCA created the whole Engardin... Will she find the clue she need there?
For this chapter, the player must go in the bottom-right part of the Sunken Sanctum where the locked door in Story Mode will be opened. Inside, the player will fight Guider, the Shadow Moon.
After completing this chapter, the door will open to Renee as well in Story Mode. It contains only a dialogue.
=== Chapter 9 ===
Mysterious female who called herself "The Guider" dropped a key, which has a mark that resembles the clue from the research journals, leading to the field of Anemo Goliath - Sky Palace. The girl turned upon the back track and aims for where her answer might be in a hurry.
The player must venture into the Albedeo Tower on the right side where is the blocked gate with red energy. The gate will open, leading the player into the Nigredo Tower. To the right of the tower there will be an energy barrier that can be dispelled by triggering the lever at the top (42 can use her stomp to trigger the lever). Heading to the bottom of the tower, the player will encounter Karin, the Occult Prime. Defeating her will end the chapter.
=== Chapter 10 ===
The girl collected her thoughts. She started to think that if she do devour Karin's soul, would she be absolutely sure to find the memory she needs. After all, Karin's soul is much more complicated and powerful than that empty vessel of the Ode. In her hesitation, the girl found something new deep inside the room - an ancient teleportation circle with the emblem of Anemo Goliaths.
The player is left with 2 choices:
* Invade Karin, leading to a tough boss fight and The Waiting ending
* Go through the teleportation circle and talk to the Anemo Goliath, leading to another boss fight and The Dream ending
Finishing Chapter 10 with either method will unlock Nigredo Tower in Story Mode and the true ending.
