The protagonist has seen the end of the world of Urralia and that is why he is trying to stop this future from happening. To accomplish this task, he must identify key persons of interest. These include a powerful wizard, or an influential general that, thanks to his special powers, the protagonist can observe during their final moments in search of answers.
