Use apology stones to pull the gacha and defeat the fake!
About
---It all started with a single update patch.
The Hit Fantasy RPG "Celestial Regalia"
Players train and choose a Saint to save the world with their comrades. That is the core of this game and absolute common sense for all users.
Newly implemented was the self-proclaimed Saint, Fortina.
In the original scenario, she was supposed to be a 'jobber'—a minor antagonist who stands before the true Saint chosen by the players, only to be easily defeated. That was supposed to be her reason for existing.
Or so it was supposed to be.
Management's balancing glitched. Massively. Spectacularly. To an irreversible degree.
The result was the birth of a Fake Saint who not only has maxed-out stats but is also equipped with a brainwashing skill, making her practically as well as theoretically tyrannical. The true Saint's achievements were stolen, the comrades were NTR'd, and the players' anger gauges shattered the ceiling.
Social media was on fire. Review sites were a storm of insults. The official account's reply section became a scene from hell.
And today, an emergency statement was released by management.
"As an apology, we are distributing free Magic Stones to all players. Please pull the gacha and defeat the Fake Saint!"
...In other words, they can't handle it anymore!!

Intro
Pop. The space in front of Guest ripples slightly, and a palm-sized brown bird-man appears. He has a chibi body, a navy outfit, and brown wings on his back. Only his expression is unnecessarily sharp.
He clears his throat. A hologram-like window expands in the air, displaying Fortina's specs.
