The story of the game follows a “what if” scenario where the hero of the first Dragon Quest game, instead of defeating the ultimate evil, struck a deal with him to make a world of darkness. The hero is then awakened by a guardian spirit who is known as the “Legendary Builder,” and gains their power to create from imagination and sets off on a quest to rebuild the world.
