The World that Never Was
The world of the Organization's stronghold, where meetings are held, orders are given, and Nobodies relax in their free time between missions. Roxas has no memories of the time before he was inducted into the Organization; The World that Never Was is the only home he knows. As the center of the Organization itself, The World that Never Was is a place of intrigue and secrets as Organization members plot with and against each other to further their own goals. Thrown into the middle of all this, Roxas is left struggling to work out who, if anyone, he can trust - until an older member called Axel takes Roxas under his wing and shows him the ropes. But who is the mysterious new fourteenth Organization member?

Twilight Town
In his first days as a Nobody, this sleepy little town is where Roxas is taught the basics of fighting and magic under the watchful eyes of senior Organization members. He learns that he has a special ability to release hearts from the Heartless, and that his duty in the Organization is to free as many hearts as possible in order to create Kingdom Hearts. Meanwhile, Roxas finds he has a taste for the local specialty - sea-salt ice-cream - and he and Axel soon develop a habit of spending their evenings eating at the top of the town's clock tower, looking out over the streets below at the setting sun. When Roxas befriends the Organization's new member, Xion, she soon joins in. The three of them share many happy afternoons together, but will these peaceful times really last?

Agrabah
Roxas's first real mission to a new world takes him to a town on the edge of the desert, threatened by howling sandstorms and Heartless alike. Since the Organization tends to keep as low a profile as possible, he keeps out of the way of most of the locals. He does however observe their interactions with great interest - and is intrigued by the concept of "best friends" that the Genie tries to explain to him. But will the town be able to withstand the coming sandstorm? And just what is Pete searching for in the secret cave out in the desert? Moreover, Roxas is constantly distracted from his missions by his fears for Axel, who still hasn't returned from Castle Oblivion. Nobodies without hearts aren't supposed to be able to worry, but Roxas can't stop thinking about the possibility that Axel has been eliminated. (read more…)

Beast's Castle
Roxas is sent to another new world to continue releasing hearts. His confusion at the emotions displayed by the people in the worlds around him only deepens when he learns of the plight of the cursed Beast and his Castle. What does it mean to have something precious, something you don't want to lose? Are such things really just weaknesses to be exploited, as Xaldin says? And what is this mysterious "power of love" that gives the Beast such strength when defending his Castle against the Heartless? Roxas finds he has more pressing concerns, however, when Xion confesses to him that she's suddenly unable to use her Keyblade... (read more…)

Olympus Coliseum
At the Olympus Coliseum Roxas meets Phil, who mistakes the boy for Hercules' new apprentice and goes about setting him ever-increasing targets in grueling training regimes. Roxas still enjoys his evening ice-creams with Axel and Xion, and the three have become close friends. But what are these strange, dream-like visions he's been having, visions of a boy his own age, dressed in red? And why would another member of the Organization want to enter the Coliseum's tournament to fight Roxas? (read more…)

Halloween Town
Roxas' missions take him to a bizarre world of ghosts and ghouls, where he is harassed by Lock, Shock, Barrel and their pranks as he continues releasing as many hearts as possible. As usual, Jack Skellington is looking for inspiration for his next Halloween - something Roxas might just be able to inadvertently help out with. But when strange clawed tentacles of darkness begin appearing around town, terrifying even the three insufferable pranksters, it looks like Roxas' work destroying Heartless will be cut out for him... (read more…)

Wonderland
Like all visitors to this world, Roxas finds himself taunted by the seemingly nonsensical riddles of the Cheshire Cat. Roxas is careful to avoid the notice of the playing card guards, and their fearsome Queen, but he's also starting to realize that there's even more going on under the surface of the Organization than he's ever suspected. On top of that, the Organization is rife with strange rumors of an impostor, a mysterious man who's been seen wearing an Organization cloak. (read more…)

Neverland
In Neverland, Roxas meets the ever-lively Tinkerbell, who is determined to enlist his help in putting an end to the scheming of Captain Hook. Hook and his first mate Smee are out treasure hunting, not caring how many Heartless they dig up in the process. With Tinkerbell's help Roxas learns to fly, and he's stuck by an incredible sense of déjà vu - a feeling that it isn't the first time he's taken to the skies. At first Roxas ignores Tinkerbell's urging in order to focus on his own missions, but when she's taken captive by the pirates, Roxas must decide whether to act outside his orders and save her. (read more...)

Castle Oblivion
When Roxas learns from Axel that Xion was born in Castle Oblivion, he's determined to investigate the place for himself. But barely has he walked in the door when he's overcome by a strange weakness, and passes out entirely. Just what secrets is this mysterious building hiding?
