After a debilitating injury, forcing her to take some time off in the normal world, Fio can finally return to Eden, the second world, hidden behind mirror gates. There, the sky is not covered by smog, and the world is not ruled by greedy corporations.

Rather than that, it is magical. Cities are kept safe from monsters by warding formations of Qi, and enchantments weaved from mana. The gods give boons to those who contribute to peace, and the gatekeepers of the mirrors will provide safety for your resting body.

What a shame it would be if her adventures were cut short once more.

But regardless of what monster attacks her, Fio moves forward. Perhaps, that determination will grant her another chance.

As long as she's not eaten by the Mirrors.
