LEGEND OF

EXTOCIUM

In a legend, there was an empire called 'EXTOCIUM,' known as the Land of the Gods. The gods there received their power from the explosion of the primordial star. ์ „์„ค์—, ์‹ ๋“ค์˜ ๋‚˜๋ผ๋ผ ๋ถˆ๋ฆฌ์› ๋˜ โ€˜์—‘์Šคํ† ์‹œ์›€โ€™์ด๋ผ๋Š” ์ œ๊ตญ์ด ์žˆ์—ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ ๊ณณ์˜ ์‹ ๋“ค์€ ํƒœ์ดˆ์˜ ๋ณ„์ด ํญ๋ฐœํ•˜์—ฌ ํƒœ์–ด๋‚œ ํž˜์„ ๋ฐ›์•˜๋‹ค. ไผ่ชฌใซใ€็ฅžใ€…ใฎๅ›ฝใจๅ‘ผใฐใ‚ŒใŸใ€Œใ‚จใ‚ฏใ‚นใƒˆใ‚ทใ‚ฆใƒ ใ€ใจใ„ใ†ๅธๅ›ฝใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ—ใŸใ€‚ ใใ“ใฎ็ฅžใ€…ใฏๅคชๅˆใฎๆ˜ŸใŒ็ˆ†็™บใ—ใฆ็”Ÿใพใ‚ŒใŸๅŠ›ใ‚’ๅ—ใ‘ใพใ—ใŸใ€‚ The power of the exploding star was so enormous that the gods found it difficult to control the overflowing strength. ๋ณ„์ด ํญ๋ฐœํ•œ ํž˜์€ ๋„ˆ๋ฌด๋‚˜๋„ ๊ฑฐ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ, ์‹ ๋“ค์€ ๋„˜์ณ ๋‚˜๋Š” ํž˜์„ ์ฃผ์ฒดํ•˜๊ธฐ๊ฐ€ ํž˜๋“ค์—ˆ๋‹ค. ๆ˜ŸใŒ็ˆ†็™บใ—ใŸๅŠ›ใฏใ‚ใพใ‚Šใซใ‚‚ๅทจๅคงใงใ€็ฅžใ€…ใฏใ‚ใตใ‚Œใ‚‹ๅŠ›ใ‚’ใ‚ณใƒณใƒˆใƒญใƒผใƒซใ™ใ‚‹ใฎใŒๅคงๅค‰ใงใ—ใŸใ€‚ They shared their own power and stored it in a mineral called 'Extocium' to use.
