When we were working on Nine Sols, our team had many ideas for the story of Lear, but due to time constraints and other factors, we weren't able to include everything. However, a year ago, by chance, we established a partnership with MOJOIN, and we were fortunate enough to meet the amazing artist, Yang Chi-Cheng. As a result, what was once an extravagant idea for us gradually became a reality through the collective efforts of everyone involved, especially with the invaluable contributions of Mr. Yang. This allowed the story of Lear and the world of Penglai to be further extended. Today, we are excited to share Nine Sols - The Way of Lear: Prelude with you, and we hope you enjoy it! ____________________ Presented by MOJOIN. From acclaimed game studio Red Candle Games and renowned manga artist Yang Chi-Cheng comes the official prequel to Nine Sols: Nine Sols: The Way of Lear – Prologue. Ages ago, long before the events of *Nine Sols*, two Solarians forever altered the course of Penglai’s history. One, a visionary Fangshi. The other, a king among kings. Bound by fate, torn by belief—their unlikely bond would spiral into a clash of destiny. Uncover the hidden past. Witness the origin of the Nine Sols saga! ✴︎ Click here to start reading!
