Before the Tutorial Mission Starts

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 5

How much longer until the action starts? You have the nerve to ask a question like that... is something wrong with the new recruit? No. Elio didn't choose her because she was good at field work, but she has to at least survive this rookie assignment. She's cruising. Then I'm relieved. It seems that Bladie has proved to be a reliable operative as well. ...

But the Battle Isn't Over

lvl 60 Overlay lvl 2

"Remember, the war with the monsters cannot be won by retreating." "We are the last defense, the final iron wall between them and Belobog..." "We cannot retreat under any circumstances!"

Only Silence Remains

lvl 80 Overlay lvl 1

"Shouldn't we get off? It's our stop." A chuckle came from above. His eyes moved, but he didn't look up. "To be clear, March always says you're expressionless, but I don't agree." "The train's data bank show traces of an update, but the results weren't saved." "So... which entry were you having trouble with?" He grasped his pen tighter as he looked at the bloody scene drawn in the notebook from memory. "I see. It was the one about you..."

Reforged Remembrance

lvl 80 Overlay lvl 1

Light the candles, spread the cards, breathe in the fragrance... These broken memories become faces in the dancing light. The apparitions that emerge from flames tell her of pasts fondly recalled. Time is shorn. The moment is frozen. She turns these most precious instants into crystallizations of eternity. "There is too much lost, and too little that remains... We nurture remembrance against the cruelties of time."

Memories of the Past

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 2

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.

The Unreachable Side

lvl 80 Overlay lvl 1

Under the Blue Sky

Cruising in the Stellar Sea

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 5

Coursing 'tween the sea of stars, THEY cruise with the speed of a rainbow's chromatic flash. A journey of hunting undying abominations, collecting cures and miracles, and seeking deliverance. Akin to a vow unbroken, THEIR voyage will be, ad infinitum.

Good Night and Sleep Well

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 2

The dim light outlines the dust tracks, As a young girl mumbles sweetly in her sleep. A silent figure appears behind her. "Well, well, well, you're cuter without those glasses — I knew it." The guitarist stares at her sleeping face, muttering to herself: "Good night, the genius girl that worries a lot."

Moment of Victory

lvl 80 Overlay lvl 1

"If you want to cry after your loss, Gepard, then cry." "But you need to stand back up even when you are crying, until you can defeat me... Even if it takes years." A few years later, the boy no longer cried or lost to his sister. Now on the battle field, the courageous Silvermane Guard captain will defend till the end no matter what — all to find the moment to completely destroy the enemy.

On the Fall of an Aeon

lvl 60 Overlay lvl 4

It began with a flash of light. One by one, THEY fell as the threat of expiration loomed over THEM. THEY had to stop self-replicating and rushed to embrace each other, trying to offer the right to reproduce in exchange for a possibility of survival. THEY held hands in a show of unprecedented unity. ...But the Paths met an abrupt end, and THEY were headed to a true death.

River Flows in Spring

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 1

Geniuses' Repose

lvl 50 Overlay lvl 5

She pointed at that green rice cake. "The experiment has ended. Time to take a break. I just can't miss this freshly made dessert." She saw the puppet girl frowning in deep thought. "Well, in your current body, you can only look but not eat. I'll make you a box of new ones when the time comes." She saw the mechanical aristocrat hesitating at his own cup. "Don't worry. It's only machine oil. Perfectly safe for you to consume."

The Great Cosmic Enterprise

lvl 20 Overlay lvl 5

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!"

The Birth of the Self

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 3

In the beginning, it had the exact same pose as the previous portrait. Looking at the face identical to hers, she was convinced that this was not her. "Impossible. How can two portraits be exactly the same?" She tweaked its joints, opened its eyes, and made its fingers softer. She looked happy when all the changes were done. "Completely different from yesterday. This is more like who I am today."

The Seriousness of Breakfast

lvl 25 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!"

Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat

lvl 70 Overlay lvl 5

The limelight cast on the boxing ring is bright, but no brighter than all those beads of sweat running down his back. He has long been determined to use his two fists to protect those he cherishes the most. After all, they are the ones who ignited his determination in the first place. They are the ones who have always been there for him, be it inside or outside the boxing ring.

"Yo, yo. What is up! Is everything coming through?" The orange-haired girl slowly lifts a sledgehammer while shouting enthusiastically at the camera. "Ever seen a pretty girl doing the cinder-block-smashed-on-chest stunt?" "I didn't sign up for this!" The brunette girl cried out loud, only to be met with a sly smile from the girl with the orange hair. "Please. Just let me do this. This is what people would've wanted."

Planetary Rendezvous

lvl 1 Overlay lvl 1

She had no idea what to expect when she first started out on this journey. All she knew was that she could at long last be rid of the judgmental eyes and petty bickering of her family. She felt she finally understood what the poet was trying to say. "One day, we would grow wings and forget what it was like to walk." The light in her eyes became the glittering stars.

Loop

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.

Past and Future

lvl 1 Overlay lvl 3

Post-Op Conversation

lvl 60 Overlay lvl 5

"You're awake... Thank you." "You... saved my life, Natasha. The one who should be saying thanks... is me." "No, I should be thanking you... for holding on until I finished the surgery." The doctor and patient smiled wearily at each other and said nothing more.

Indelible Promise

lvl 1 Overlay lvl 3

A weathered past. A sworn duty to defend home. A dream to blaze a trail across the world— These were entrusted to the unworldly youth by a pair of rough, calloused hands. "Soon, we'll be able to go to a larger world." The boy happily accepted his inheritance. Guarded by youth, he could not yet feel the weight born by the object's significance. "Of course. Before that time comes, however, guard this place well, Misha." He thus engraved that promise deep inside his heart, holding to it forever and always.

What Is Real?

lvl 1 Overlay lvl 1

"If all the clocks are displaying the wrong time..." "If those bound to promises fulfilled their vows through betrayal..." "If those who sink into the realm of dreams never truly fell asleep..." "If the dead return to life, only to discover their names have been stripped..." "If... if..." He blows out the flame, and in darkness, there is but the eternal ticking of the timepiece.
