for Composer in Mythological Game : New Challenge
Suggested by jeanpaulvalley

Six months after the events of "Mythological Game", our protagonist's family has returned to their normal lives, having become better people and more able to fight after the challenges that shaped them. However, they soon have to move and put the house up for sale, attracting the attention of a mysterious businessman. When he comes to scout the place, James, who has become a friend of the family, understands that he's shady and catches him trying to steal the mysterious mythological game. The one who calls himself "Ikol" therefore starts a game, which again absorbs everyone present in the room into a part of Ancient Greece. There they're quickly separated and must once again fight for survival. They meet Roman legionary, still determined to destroy everything that remains of this country for Rome's greatness, as well as mercenaries, coming from almost everywhere in the known world, specializing in monster hunting. They also find the members of the "monsters" family, of which they meet new members, understanding that they are looking for something precious and that this "Ikol" seems connected to them in some way. Whatever happens from now on, their experience from their previous game may not be enough to get by and the stakes seem even higher for everyone, whether human or not!
