Nine Chronicles

Introduction

Nine Chronicles is an open source idle MMORPG from Planetarium Labs, played free through a desktop client or mobile app. The game runs on its own Libplanet-based blockchain, where every battle, craft, and trade is recorded on-chain and all items exist as tradable NFTs. Players build a party, then let automated combat carry them through the fantasy world of Yggdrasil in service of the goddess Freya.

Lore

Nine Chronicles unfolds in Yggdrasil, a high-fantasy world drawn from Norse myth and spread across nine realms, from the world tree down to Helheim. An ancient evil has taken root across these regions, and the goddess Freya calls on adventurers to drive it back before it swallows the realms.

Players answer that call, guided by figures such as Aria, Loraine, and Milda as they push into more dangerous territory. Each region brings its own creatures, bosses, and gear, framing progress as a long campaign against a threat that never fully rests. The world leans on familiar mythic motifs rather than heavy scripted storytelling, letting its regions and bosses set the tone.

Gameplay

The core loop is auto-battler combat: players assemble a character, equipment, and rune build, then send it into automated fights that clear a long ladder of stages. Wins return materials and experience that feed crafting and stat growth, which in turn opens tougher content. Around that spine, the game runs cooperative and competitive modes together, so a session can move from campaign stages to boss fights to ranked play.

• Arena seasons: Ranked player-versus-player ladders that reset on a seasonal cycle.
• World Boss raids: Cooperative fights that wear a shared boss down over timed waves.
• Infinite Tower: A monthly-resetting climb of escalating floors gated by tickets.

Economy

Crafting, trading, and higher-tier progression run on the native token, Nine Chronicles Gold, which also backs staking and on-chain governance. Because every item is an NFT recorded on-chain, gear and materials can be listed and sold on the in-game marketplace, with transaction fees routed to a community treasury. A wrapped, ERC-20 version of the token bridges its value out to the Ethereum and BNB ecosystems for trading beyond the game client.

• Staking rewards: Locking the native token returns periodic consumables and bonuses.
• Adventure Boss raids: Token-funded boss events pay contribution-based rewards to those who join.
• Player-run market: Crafted gear and materials change hands directly as tradable NFTs.
