■ Story
Objects that transcend human knowledge, sent by a very ancient civilization… They are called “treasures.” Throughout the world’s countries were many known as “treasure hunters,” those that seek out those treasures said to cause miracles.
Protagonist Kurou Habaki (name changeable) is a young hunter who has just joined “Rosetta Society,” a hunter guild for up-and-coming treasure hunters. As his first job, he challenges the “Temple of Heracleion,” which is buried beneath the city of Cairo in the Arab Republic of Egypt.
After repelling the obstruction of a secret society called “Relic Dawn,” which intends to monopolize the treasures, he brings back one of the treasures and receives a new mission.
“Enroll into Kamiyoshi Gakuen private school in Tokyo, Japan, and explore the ruins discovered beneath the school.” Kurou successfully infiltrates the school as a transfer student and discovers the entrance to the underground ruins.
Bonding with friends, battling the “student council” that protects the ruins, and a secret society that lurks in the shadows. Inside a turmoil of secrets and intent, an adventure of a young treasure hunter begins.
