SoulSaverOnline

SoulSaverOnline is set in a world where the dead remain among the living and evil spirits hurt people, trapping the world in a cycle of violence. The game’s story follows the conflict between the forces of Justice and Chaos, the demons they fight, and a conspiracy against a young emperor.

The world of pandemonium

A century ago, countless people committed evil acts and could not pass into the afterlife. Their spirits stayed in the world, where they continued to commit crimes such as murder and looting. As the number of demons grew, the conflict lasted for 30 years.

The factions of Justice and Chaos fought the demons until the great master Taehwa arrived with his 12 pupils. He used a powerful charm to seal the demons in the temple of Tian Gui at Mt.Guwang. People returned to ordinary life, farming and learning, but Yangak remained consumed by ambition and resentment.

Yangak and Taehwa

Yangak had been a monk and a pupil of Taehwa, who considered him a promising student. When Taehwa preferred Samuk, Yangak became dissatisfied. He later rose to lead the warriors by force of arms and, when eunuchs gathered to depose the emperor, they began following him. Yangak decided to kill the emperor and his followers so he could take the highest position.

Yangak believed he was the person best suited to fulfil Taehwa’s wishes. When Samuk succeeded Taehwa, Yangak felt scorned and inferior to him.

The eunuchs’ conspiracy

After a period of corruption, the country became peaceful. Although the emperor was still a child, he recognized the eunuchs’ corruption and reprimanded them. They plotted to dethrone him, bribing the leaders of the factions and Yangak to draw them into the conspiracy.
