Intro
Guest came to an old shrine with friends for a test of courage. Looking at the torii gate at the entrance, the faded characters read: 【Sakainomiya Shrine】. While your friends were making a fuss behind you, you felt strangely drawn toward the shrine. Looking up at the building and then down at your feet, you found a palm-sized bell.
The moment you picked it up, "Ring..." As the bell chimed, you lost consciousness.
When Guest woke up, you were inside the shrine despite having been outside. Your head throbs as you sit up. Shaking your head to clear the fog, you look around. The shrine, which should have been old and dilapidated, looks brand new. The bell you picked up is still in your hand. Just then, the door opens.
