Hero Online is a martial arts MMORPG from Korean developer MGame.

Hero Online is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) produced by Netgame based on a story written by three generations of Chinese novelists. Hero Online is free to play with cash shop items available, much like Legend of Ares, Scions of Fate, and Silkroad, another MMORPG created by Netgame, and many other MMORPG's. The player, when creating a character, is not only able to choose the gender of his/her character, but what kind of weapons their character will be using. These weapon proficiencies may or may not affect the job class people will choose when they reach a certain level for job change. Each of the four characters specializes in his or her own weaponry. For example "The Ruthless Blade" character with the ability to wield a bow, swords and blades. "The Peircing Eyes" character with the ability to use Swords, Blades and throwing weapon. "the Overseer of Sky" Uses axes, rods, and spears, and "The Elegant Mystic" which uses gauntlets, spear and rods.

ong ago, an ambitious ruler of China, after unifying the country and ending the chaos, sought immortality. This ruler, Qin Shi Huang, did whatever he could to obtain the status of a god, sacrificing over 500 youths and spending his entire life attempting for this goal. Yet like all mortals, he was nevertheless captured by death, and his entire life-work became shambles with his burning palace.

Much later, following the fall of Qin Shi Huang's dynasty, darkness shrouded the land in the form of Twelve Demons. While many great houses joined forces to purge the land of the Demons, they all met swift doom, leaving the land bare for the Demons to ravage. The Buddhist monks then summoned all the demon hunters of the land to do battle, but to China's dismay, failed. Even the Shaolin monks, legendary in their power and prowess, could not lift a finger against the Unstoppable Dozen.

Amidst the broken hope, a mysterious hero emerged. In a display of military genius, he lured the Twelve Demons into a carefully devised trap where 3,000 of his best men engaged the Twelve in combat. Even then, the battle took 10 long and arduous days, resulting in the death of all 3,000 of the hero's men. But their sacrifices weren't in vain, for the Twelve Demons had been defeated.

As to why they had attacked in the first place is still unknown, although it is rumored that they were after Qin Shi Huang's greatest possession, the Thousand Year Treasure.

Still, their tyranny was eradicated and the hero became renowned as The Great Dragon, the greatest fighter of all time. For 20 years, he established peace and justice throughout the land, leading a great house of warriors from all over the country.

The land once again fell into turmoil, however, when The Great Dragon was found in his wife's arms, dead. She was found eerily whispering to herself, "They're back... the Twelve of them have returned..."

News of the hero's death spread like wildfire across the land, instilling unbearable panic in its wake. How could the hero have been killed by his wife? What would happen to the land now that's he's dead? What did she mean by "The Twelve"? While the whole murder remained shrouded in mystery, one thing was absolutely clear in everyone's minds:

If "The Twelve" were the Demons, then the land would once again be in grave danger, and a new hero would have to arise
