This game follows the storybook-esque tale of Ari, an ordinary boy who lives in the backwater town of Tenel. He's often disregarded or verbally abused by his friends and neighbors for having an overshadowed personality. But one day his father passes the circus on his way home from work and stumbles across a strange bottle. This history obsessed man believes it to be the bottle of Pollack, an ancient sorceror and takes it home. Although at first dismissed as just another bottle by the rest of the family one day Ari's sister, Annie, succumbs to a ghost's curse forcing them to seek its help. Trapped inside the bottle is "The Great Evil King" Stanley Hihat Trinidad XIV; or Stan for short. After awakening he takes residence in Ari's shadow, allowing him to project himself as a shadow into the physical world and communicate with people. Shortly after this they discover that there are multiple Evil Kings located around the world, and even a "Map o' Evil Kings" which documents all their current locations. Enraged by the supposed imposters, he decides to have Ari go out on a journey with the goal of destroying all of these "Fake Evil Kings". Ari, being the quiet, overshadowed boy he is, has no choice but to agree.
