After defeating the Dark Lord, Alice and her companions became heroes of another world. However, peaceful days did not last long.
On a serene night, Alice suddenly woke up from a nightmare, her forehead covered in cold sweat. She had dreamed of the Dark Lord's curse. Before his death, he had sneered, "Did you really think it was over? My curse will shroud this world forever, and the power of darkness will rise again." Alice decided to gather her companions the next day, feeling that the dream might be an omen.
The following day, Alice met her companions in the town's tavern: Jack the brave warrior, Lily the resourceful rogue, Karl the kind-hearted cleric, and Merlin the mysterious mage. Alice shared her dream with everyone, and silence fell over the tavern for a moment.
