Bravest Journey: In the remote village of Rock Path, peaceful days are the same for Jubei, a young swordsman in need of adventure. But one day, his grandfather, Donovan, a powerful Sinister, falls gravely ill. Jubei decides to set off in search of other Sinisters who can help him, and learns that one of them has actually settled in the region: the terrible Wyvern Baron-Lee! For his first quest, Jubei joins a trio of mercenaries hired to visit the Sinister's lair and find the daughter of the provost of the neighbouring town, kidnapped by Wyvern a few days earlier.
