Story

Far off in a distant galaxy from Earth lives a unique planet nestled in the darkness. The planet is engulfed in one giant ocean but amongst the waves is one solitary island, Lo-Fo-Teng. This island’s inhabitants were forged by the six elemental guardians born from the ancient artifact, the “Monster Book.”
