Involvement[]
At the beginning of the game, Cleru enters a tournament for young craftknights that will decide who will become the next Craftlord of Iron.

He learns the dreams that these people wish to make reality by becoming craftlords during the tournament as well. During the tournament, he discovers a plot made up by two of the craftlords, Lubert and Ureksa, to help an enemy nation, Deigleya, destroy Wystern to gain fame and fortune in the process.

Back in the tournament, one of his friends, Sanary, makes a pact with an evil summon creature of fire named Parista. Once Cleru defeats Sanary in the tournament, Parista possesses Sanary and brings her deep into The Labyrinth, as Parista wants to kill Cleru to get revenge against Shintetsu, but Cleru manages to defeat Parista with the help of a summon creature named Kuhyra, and saves Sanary. After this, Parista and Kuhyra return to their homeworld, Sapureth, and Cleru goes on to win the tournament, as well as the title of Craftlord of Iron.
