Story
The first scene starts off with Wasp battling in the Colosseum of Fools, an arena full of warriors who think of nothing but combat. After defeating their champion, the God Tamer, Wasp is crowned the new Champion Fool. He gains a special set of Fool armor, which he carries with him as a gift from the God Tamer upon her defeat. Wasp makes his way down to find the Nailmaster Oro, who trains him a special Nail technique. The two go exploring the Kingdom’s Edge when they find the Ancient Nailsmith and a Pure Nail, the world strongest weapon. Wasp takes the new weapon and battles several foes with it. After seeing how skilled his pupil is, Oro gives Wasp a small gift before parting ways with Wasp: a special charm known as “Oro’s Binding.” Wasp sets off to explore the lower area of the Kingdom’s Edge when he stumbles into The Hive, a large territory inhabited by deadly bees.

Wasp ventures into the Hive where he is attacked by Hivelings, who patrol the edges of the Hive.
