A Different Time

...And that is how the heroes who succeeded in sealing the Black Mage were cursed and sealed in ice.

I can't... I can't believe it. For me it has only been one year. But you said this happened centuries ago? Then what happened to them? Are they still trapped in ice?

All the curses have been lifted. We don't exactly know why or how, but it must be linked to the revival of the Black Mage. The five heroes are much weaker now, so they're roaming Maple World to rebuild their skills.

(They're alive? Finally, some good news. If I were the only one alive... I would have gone insane.)
