More about GRAND MER!!

BACKGROUND STORY
For many years, the earth suffered from severe global warming and long heavy rains and eventually in the year 2108, the earth was covered by a grand ocean and became NEOCEAN WORLD.

After few decades later, the unusual weather cooled down, and lands that had sunk over the years started to appear again. Humans called them NEWTERRA, and began settling in the new land. However it was too early to cultivate or hunt, so humans had to depend on fishery to survive. In this age, race and nationally don’t matter. Only those clubs that fish the best become rich and powerful. That made clubs to battle for the good fishing points where many large species inhabit, and to win the battle, clubs have invented better Trolling equipments and techniques. They call the best angler in NEOCEAN, the LORDAN. All the anglers are fighting to become LORDAN, for wealth and reputation. Are you ready to become the LORDAN?

CHARACTERS
