High above the world, on the floating isle of Monbelusha, the annual Ringing Feast is in full swing. But as the people offer prayers, calamity strikes without warning.

As Monbelusha crumbles, a boy plummets towards the world below. The Goddess Belusha entrusts him with a single, mysterious branch. He must now take up his calling as Warden of the World Tree and embark on a journey to save the world, soaring across the skies on the isle of the chosen.
