The Seriousness of Breakfast

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 3

Though the table is set... Some people want a cup of tea first. Some people want to take a picture first. Some people want to read the newspaper first. Some people want to write a page in their notebook first. Some people want to play on their phone first. "All of you, eat while the food is hot!"

Victory In a Blink

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 1

The Titankins' all-consuming roars sweep across the battlefield. Two lightning-quick figures slaughter their way out of combat. "I alone will be enough to handle them." Every punch unleashed by the warrior sends spears of blood through the bodies of the enemy. "Brute force and nothing more. Watch my blade!" As a blade of pale silver slices in a curve, monsters drop like falling leaves. "A contest of speed?" The two charge at the other side simultaneously. Howls of anguish sound as the stealthy beasts behind them are struck down at once. Two voices can be heard at the same time. "That was my kill!"

After the Charmony Fall

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 1

The eternal dream he longed for vanished in an instant. As he plummeted towards the earth, he felt no sadness, only a desire to close his eyes. The old path treaded upon has now crumbled, yet the journey ahead remains shrouded in mist. "After the awakening, the world continues its cycle of suffering, with no escape, the same as always..." He carries the past, turns his back on his homeland, and continues towards a paradise that does not yet exist. So, why do people slumber? And why do they wake? — As planets streak past outside the window, this answer now demands a new meaning to be given. "Maybe... just maybe I still can..."

The Great Cosmic Enterprise

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 3

In a virtual exhibition hall sculpted from data, the exhibition representatives exchanged opinions. Two figures moved between the booths, delivering everything needed by each party. "Hmm, are you...?" "I've seen you on TV." They talked about games, food, each other's morphologies, and all the beautiful things in the universe. Though their meetings were few and far between, they were as close as old friends— "By the way, have you thought about my proposal..." "The Express is not for sale!"

Concert for Two

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 3

"Big brother, what's this..." "It's been so long since you sang with joy... I've built a stage for you, though it's... a bit rudimentary." "But the teacher thinks I'm not cut out for this..." "Nonsense, I think you sound amazing! And your dreams will definitely come true. You deserve to sing on a bigger stage..." ... Many years later, she stood on a dazzling stage, looking at the surging fans below, but lost herself for a moment... On the long journey of chasing dreams, she would always remember that trusting gaze and her first "concert." No glamorous lights, no elaborate makeup, just a child building a stage to encourage another child to pursue their dreams. "Now, our dreams have come true. But... are they still 'our' dreams?" She tightened her grip on the microphone. Before the next song began, she didn't even have time to feel sad.

Memories of the Past

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 1

An old photo lies on the far end of the table in the guardian's residence. She would always subconsciously move her eyes away whenever she happened to see it. The memories of the past had already become distant, but the dreams of today still linger.

For Tomorrow's Journey

lvl 1 Overlay lvl 1

The hands of the compass keep turning until they point to the moment of dreams. The Asdana system, overflowing with memoria, glows with a soft light outside the train's windows. The frontier prison within is currently engulfed in the fires of war. "Hey guys, what do you suppose the world within the dream would look like?? I must meticulously map it out!" The girl, packing away her surveying tools, gazes at the new world within reach, filled with anticipation. "That place is a mess. Don't you run off once we get there. I won't have you two getting kidnapped again..." The man in cowboy attire grumbles as he cleans his weapon, then walks over to the sofa with a drink, shaking his head in resignation. "The Land of the Dreams promises infinite possibilities. We'll surely make our mark... Hey, conductor, if we fall in love with that place and never return, would you miss us?" The Nameless dressed like a gentleman winks at Pom-Pom, smiling. "'You can't joke at the conductor's expense like this!' Is that what you want to say, conductor?" The girl's mischievous grin spreads across her face. "You guys are! So! Mean!" Bubbles drift up and down in the glass as the Express fills up with joyful laughter. ... The youthful silhouettes of these Nameless get gradually swallowed by memoria. "Have a... safe... trip...please..." When the conductor turns their head, the Express is already empty. The conductor stands frozen, this scene hauntingly familiar, as if lived through countless times before.

Collapsing Sky

lvl 50 Overlay lvl 5

A drop of strength condensed from time itself. All the seemingly insignificant moments come together to form the magnificent choir of fate. "The death of all things is as natural as their birth. Time erodes everything, turning all tangible entities to dust."

Victory In a Blink

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 4

The Titankins' all-consuming roars sweep across the battlefield. Two lightning-quick figures slaughter their way out of combat. "I alone will be enough to handle them." Every punch unleashed by the warrior sends spears of blood through the bodies of the enemy. "Brute force and nothing more. Watch my blade!" As a blade of pale silver slices in a curve, monsters drop like falling leaves. "A contest of speed?" The two charge at the other side simultaneously. Howls of anguish sound as the stealthy beasts behind them are struck down at once. Two voices can be heard at the same time. "That was my kill!"

Eternal Calculus

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 1

Eternally suspended in the void, Streams of shimmering data flood into THEIR mind. Turning all things past and future into symbols, THEY deduce the end from the beginning. Knowledge, answers, truths... In the mist of information, a brilliant light arises, And everything becomes clear to THEM.

Dream's Montage

lvl 1 Overlay lvl 1

"The City of Dreams, the Breeding Ground of Sin, or the Promised Land..." Extracting the memories of many, he scrutinizes the spectacular moments, disrupting, reorganizing, and splicing them together. "Most people's memories are but a collection of trivial and monotonous fragments, where only a handful of precious moments stand out, while the existences of the rest are utterly unnecessary." Frame by frame, the images flow through his grasp, gradually woven into a tapestry of brilliance. "We don't transport memories. We only create the past."

Chorus

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 5

A drop of strength condensed from time itself. All the seemingly insignificant moments come together to form the magnificent choir of fate. "Fingers clutch to make a fist, strength is built via numbers. I give myself for something higher — the concept of us."

A Secret Vow

lvl 40 Overlay lvl 1

The boy would always make sure that his gloves and elbow guards were in good shape before leaving. He treasured his gloves more than anything because they were tight enough to hide secrets. With this layer of protection, no one could see the bandages on his hand and the wound beneath them. He would be treated as if he was normal, and he would be greeted just like everyone else. That was all he asked for.

Arrows

lvl 1 Overlay lvl 1

A drop of strength condensed from time itself. All the seemingly insignificant moments come together to form the magnificent choir of fate. "The hunter's eyes are the clearest when they pull back the bowstring with the arrow nocked."

Sleep Like the Dead

lvl 60 Overlay lvl 1

The boy is still tightly grasping the sword even when fast asleep against the general's shoulder. The general gently taps the boy's cheek, and the boy mutters in his sleep. "General... I finally... won." The general pauses. He suddenly realizes that, compared to the boy trying to improve every day, he himself has endured too many years and is used to stagnation. "You will soon be better than everyone, and that will only be the beginning..."
