Story
The story begins during the reign of King Tatt IV, after the end of the civil war. Hype, the royal champion, is rewarded for his loyalty and courage by being presented with a powerful Peace Sword. However, during the ceremony a mysterious black knight and ruling dragon rides suddenly appeared. The knight stepped into the King and demanded the throne. At that moment, Hype stepped in front of the knights and tried to face it, but the black knights were too strong and by using powerful magic, turning the Hype into a stone statue and throwing it deep into the past. Two hundred years earlier, the Hype statue appeared on the magician's magic page: Gogoud.
After many unsuccessful attempts to revive Hype, the young wizard, Gogoud, manages to restore Hype to life. When Hype recovered his memory, he quickly explained his suffering with the black knight - known as Barnak - and how he must return to his own time to protect his king, take revenge on Barnak and marry his fiancée, Vibe. With great sadness, Gogoud explained that he as a magician is not very experienced and like currently only an apprentice. However, the young man agreed to help Hype and guide him in his quest all the time. Gogoud came to learn that in order for Hype to return to the future, he had to collect some gems. Both are disappointed to know that each Gem only allows Hype to advance a leap through time, meaning that it has to collect and fill the hidden gems of the Taskan I, II and III governments before returning to the Taskan IV era. Throughout the journey, Hype met a number of loyal friends, including: Zatila the dragon, Karon, leader of the robbers, his daughter Nohlin and many others. On the other hand, Hype also encounters a large number of enemies including King Taskan I and his followers; Rajoth the magician - the founder of the Laboratory; Enost - the wizard of King Tatt III, who defected to the side of Barnak; many different armies, including the Barnak army of the Black Guards and other servants; Black dragon Barnak Vhoid and finally the evil Barnak itself. Hype also faces many non-human enemies including wolves, ghosts, bats, and a three-headed dragon. Hype adventure takes place in the same kingdom throughout different historical periods. Competition and war erupted between fortresses, monasteries, robbers and wizards in the laboratory. Upon returning to his own time, Hype reunited with Vibe and together they formed troops to begin a rebellion against Barnak, who had ruled the kingdom. His mighty force imposed his cruel regime, forcing the royal people to worship their master as Lord, and a King. The entire kingdom is guarded by the evil men of Barnak, with the main areas of Torras City, the Forests, Gogoud's Manor, Brigand Village, and a closely watched Castle, while 'unnecessary' areas such as Monastery, Laboratory and Field of Courage are closed on Barnak's order. The most disturbing, however, was that of Barnak's conquest, the land was silent and the sky burning above marked Barnak's victory - causing great sadness over the royal people. Yet the land, finally restored to its former beauty when the Black Knight is defeated - its dark magic that struck the ruined kingdom. Gogoud's spirit tells new world stories when the story ends with peace back to the ground.
