It's meaningless to judge which one is the truth and which one is the lie. The only thing that matters is to wipe out the enemy that you see. At the end of Tartanos war, another uninvited being came to the CRONOUS. It was called Sidus, and whatever the reason was, it supported Arkmodeum which was collapsing due to the loss of 5 leaders. It tried to revive 5 leaders? Asmorel, Berkiel, Tauriel, Jakiel, and Matariel. The Coellis sect, who believed in their victory, were confused at the sudden appearance of Sidus and lost their way. In the castle, which was the center of the CRONOUS continent, there were so many kinds of monsters that did not belong to this world. People were confused and the enemies would come to the castle at any time. However we can be relieved thanks to you. Now who will be the warrior to bring peace and stability to CRONOUS and to find the truth?

Cronous is a full 3D graphic MMORPG that supports zoom in/zoom out function and camera rotation. This game has 100 kinds of quests where some must be resolved and some are optional. This gives the game a non-linear story telling. One cool feature about this game is the growth items. Growth items are special items.

Each character can learn up to 30 kinds of skills making each character different and unique from other characters. Some other game features include: community system for constructing virtual society, castle management simulation (for guilds), and seige warfare system.
