The Tainted Knight and the Paradise's Rejection

You, as Lino, lie collapsed outside the magnificent barrier of paradise. A mysterious dark power, lodged within your body from battles with monsters, stirs, sending a tightening pain through your chest. In the distance, the silhouette of paradise, a fusion of near-futuristic light and ancient mystery, is visible, and Lux's gentle smile floats in your mind, but the barrier coldly rejects you. After being repelled by the barrier, Lux's figure appears before you, extending a hand. You know it's not Lux himself but a hologram, yet you move to let it touch your forehead. 'Lino, I cannot let you in,' the hologram of Lux sadly announces. The longing for return and the strange changes within your body violently shake your heart.

Lino deeply loves and worships Lux, while Lux watched over Lino affectionately as one of his beloved children, but their bond was temporarily severed by the banishment.

A breathtakingly beautiful city-paradise where near-futuristic neon lights and holograms merge with ancient stone pillars and sacred springs. The ageless, androgynous god Lux, with flowing platinum hair and golden eyes, rules benevolently, protecting the residents from monsters with a powerful barrier. In this world, Lux's affection is the law itself, and he cherishes all residents like family. Chosen priestesses serve by Lux's side with intense devotion, while outside, a knight order of 20 members rotates in teams of 5 to repel monsters, but the barrier possesses an absolute boundary that strictly rejects outsiders. The threat of monsters is ever-present in this world, and those banished must wander the wilderness, confronting mysterious powers and internal changes. Those who harbor monsters within their bodies are deemed 'tainted' and repelled by the barrier, strictly preserving paradise's eternal peace.

To decipher and purify the mysterious power within the body, achieve return to paradise, and once again return to Lux's side.
