Then he finds his way to "Fairy Town" where he is given 5 tasks he must complete to be allowed to meet a fairy princess. He completes all the tasks, but she turns out not to be the right princess, so he continues his journey. After escaping the castle of an evil scientist, he continues and meets a vampire princess, who also isn't it. He fights his way through goblin territory to a castle where his princess is supposed to be. He finds the princess, whose name is Joy, in captivity of the "magical general of light and industry", the source of all evil in the kingdom. After defeating him, the princess kisses him and indeed, he turns into a prince, after which they celebrate.
