When the monsters first appeared, the humans were able to fight against them.  But now, the monsters have changed. The monsters have grown stronger and spread a new disease called "Insana" that turned the humans hostile like monsters and enabled them to spread the disease even further. The people could not find any cure to the disease and more and more humans fell to the disease. According to a legend,  a cure-all potion could be made with ingredients spread across the land. Adventurers sought to find the ingredients, but found nothing. As the disease spreads faster and faster,  will you be able to make the panacea and cure the disease?
