** There is a wide sandbox-like world for people to explore in the tutorial. Then it turns out that a magic shield was put around the hero's hometown, protecting it from the threat that took over the rest of the world. The rest of the game takes place within the shield.
** There are several heroes in this game, everyone native to another area, and everyone had their hometown destroyed. They have arguments about whose town went out in the most devastating way, all played like children arguing about who the coolest characters in their favourite shows are.

Later, he hears rumors that it's been destroyed, and rushes back... to find it's still standing, and nothing's happened to it. Yet. Turns out the rumors were spread by one of Emperor Evulz' generals in order to lure the hero back so he could ''witness'' the attack, with the general mocking his helplessness to prevent its destruction. This turns out to be a tactical mistake, as the hero IS actually able to defeat the invaders and defend it... but part of the village is destroyed despite his efforts.
