story : 2430 years ago, people from Aquar’s moon, called Sarmand, came to the planet Aquar and lived alongside the people of Aquar for a long time. Since the Sarmandians were far more advanced, they shared their technology and knowledge with the Aquarians and helped them reach a highly advanced level of civilization. Time passed quickly, and 2320 years before the events of the game, a major uprising broke out in Aquar against the Sarmandians, leading to a massive war between the two sides. The Aquarians, led by a scientist named Shahin Worts, claimed that the Sarmandians had begun controlling everything in Aquar, destroying Aquar’s ancient traditions and heritage, and oppressing its people. The Sarmandians, led by Saif Vertik, denied these accusations and argued that the native Aquarians were ungrateful and that without the Sarmandians, they would have remained primitive barbarians. After 20 years of war, the Sarmandians captured Shahin and executed him. Before his death, however, he ordered his soldiers to continue working on a secret weapon that would destroy their enemies — a weapon called Ketus. Ketus was an extremely advanced android designed to imitate humans in both appearance and thought. It possessed enormous intellectual abilities that allowed it to control various monsters and determine the best ways to carry out any mission assigned to it. To ensure its success, a human heart and brain were implanted into it, increasing both its power and intelligence. Shahin’s goal for this invention was to eliminate the Sarmandians and drive them away, and this objective was deeply programmed into Ketus. After Shahin’s execution, the Aquarians unleashed Ketus, which completely annihilated the Sarmandian forces, forcing them to flee back to Sarmand after witnessing Ketus’s terrifying power. But events did not unfold as the Aquarians expected. After the Sarmandians escaped, while the people of Aquar were celebrating their liberation, Ketus suddenly turned against Aquar’s cities and began destroying them one after another. It seemed that a flaw in Ketus’s programming caused it to destroy everything indiscriminately, unable to distinguish friend from foe. Before long, vast parts of Aquar had been devastated, and the age of progress and civilization came to an end. However, a wizard from Aquar named Armun Estaw managed to cast a spell on Ketus, placing it into a deep slumber from which it would not awaken. As time passed, people forgot about Ketus. All that remained were stories passed down through generations and books buried beneath layers of dust and sand.
