Druaga Online: The Story of Aon[]

"Young Ki" is one of the four playable characters.

Eight years ago, Ki has been transformed into stone by Druaga, but with the help of Gilgamesh, she is successful in regaining the Blue Crystal Rod. Afterwards they only had to escape from the Tower of Druaga, but Ki was a little careless and became the victim of a Will-O-Wisp. In the verge of death, Ki was sent eight years ahead into a different world, Aon. In front of her eyes, there was a figure that should be defeated, the demon Druaga. Druaga trapped the "Young Ki" in his new castle, Gal Aon Adem. However, with someone's help she regained the Blue Crystal Rod, and shaking off Druaga she attempts to escape the demon castle. Who helped Ki was an eerie magician. Without knowing that he is an entourage of Druaga named Gate, Ki escaped with him to the holy land Ishtario.

In Ishtario, Ki met the giant Xeovalga and three children fighting a demon army, knowing that Princess Inana was trapped in the altar. She continued in the sacred land while defeating the demon army and helped Princess Inana. Gilgamesh appeared, but he was being controlled by a demon. With the help of Walküre, Ki is able to return Gilgamesh to his senses, but notices that he is different and that she was displaced eight years of her time. She is at a loss of how to return home, but Princess Inana suggests that her "Dimensional Mirror" may give her a clue, and she went to consult with the wise holy dragon Quox alongside Inana, Gil, Walküre, Xeovalga and the three kids.

Ki and Princess Inana headed to the cave that lived Quox, but in front of it, Succubus, a subordinate of Druaga, appears to take the fugitive Ki back, placing a barrier at the entrance of the cave. Princess Inana says that she needs an amulet to neutralize the barrier. Meanwhile, Ki fights against Succubus. With the magic power of the amulet and green rod, Princess Inana cancels the barrier to Quox's cave. Although the party managed to enter Quox's lair, the holy dragon attacked the intruders as soon as it saw them. Apparently it has been deranged by the demon's powerful miasma. Combat was inevitable in order to return its senses. In the end of the battle, Quox regained its sanity and says: "In order to fulfill what you desire, you need the legendary Rainbow Crystal Rod from the Aon royal family. However, the rod is also targeted by the demon army. The spirits of Goal Ruins should have it..."

Following Quox's advice, the heroes travel beyond the Marh Desert and reach the Goal Ruins, where they are welcomed by spirits: "The rod shall be given only to the ruler of Aon! No exceptions!" Being unable to reach their objective, the heroes have no choice but to fight against the ancient covenant spirits. In the end of the fierce battle, the spirits are subdued and they give the Indigo Rod. They explain that a long time ago, the Rainbow Rod was split into seven parts and hidden in different parts of Aon. The Indigo Rod was one of the parts, and the Green Rod with Inana was other. The heroes start searching for the other parts.

During their journey to return the seven rods into one, Ki and Inana travel through a large forest. Suddenly, Ishtar appears in front of them to guide them, leading them deeper into the forest. For their surprise, Ishtar congratulates them for their hard work and asks for the rods, revealing to be Succubus and attacking. After collecting the seven rods, the party return to the Holy Land Ishtario. However, the place somehow became a den of evil dragons. The ceremony to combine the seven rods into the Rainbow Rod could not be done with them in the way. Without a choice, the heroes proceed to fight the evil dragons.

Before returning to her original time, Ki vowed to defeat the demon Druaga and infiltrates the demon castle Gal Aon Adem. While advancing through Druaga's forces, she is confronted by Succubus, who ominously predicts that Ki will die if she returns to her original timeline. Ki gets anxious while thinking about it, but she continues fighting to defeat Druaga and reaches the castle's throne. To counter Druaga's demonic power, Princess Inana assists in the battle by using the Rainbow Crystal Rod to restrain his power. Even with most of his power sealed, Druaga is a fearsome foe, and the heroes are sent to different locations. Ki returns to her time, where she manages to overcome her fate. Young Ki manages to reach the first floor of the Tower of Druaga alongside Young Gil, where they face powerful foes: Succubus and several Akynd Knights. After leaving the tower she returns to help defeat Druaga in Aon. Reunited with the others, the heroes consult Quox again and return to Druaga's castle, where they defeat their rivals, Gate, and finally Druaga.
