SINCLAIR |
So the fathoms of Yi Sang’s ego are over there… |
 |
DANTE |
<Come on, let’s get in.> |
 |
YI SANG |
…… |
 |
??? |
Wow, I sure didn't expect I’d be back here. Is this thanks to the Golden Bough? Or is it you, Yi Sang? |
 |
RODION |
How cozy… What place was this, Yi Sang? |
|
|
YI SANG |
The only place where I may breathe… That’s what this was. |
|
|
DANTE |
<…There are stacks of paper on the desk.> |
|
|
RODION |
Aha… Yes, you see, usually… |
|
|
RODION |
These are placed for visitors like us to read. |
|
|
YI SANG |
…… |
|
|
YI SANG |
A letter, I had written once… And its structure… follows that of a play’s script. |
 |
MEURSAULT |
It’s then reasonable to assume that each actor in the play was provided with one. |
|
|
YI SANG |
If so… This may well have been a stage awaiting our arrival, rather than a simple emptiness. |
|
|
Dongrang |
From the looks of it… We’ll have to read out this script, right? |
|
|
Dongrang |
Maybe Dongbaek might just come, Yi Sang. |
|
|
Dongrang |
If Dongbaek got to this… space before she died… Haha, I’m not sure what I should call this. |
|
|
Dongrang |
Anyway, if the entrance opened while she was alive… Her consciousness might have been wrapped up in this, as ours were. |
|
|
YI SANG |
…For what reason did you stab Dongbaek? |
|
|
Dongrang |
She hesitated a little too much… What, did you want this kind of eulogy from me? |
|
|
YI SANG |
…The reason, I’ll hear it. |
|
|
Dongrang |
No, it’s really… You knew as well, Yi Sang. In that state, Dongbaek’s death was imminent… Her life would’ve painfully scattered away if I let her be. |
|
|
Dongrang |
That’s why you can’t lash out at me, despite the anger boiling inside you. It wouldn’t have made much of a difference. |
 |
FAUST |
This time, the fathoms of ego… might present themselves differently from the previous ones. |
|
|
FAUST |
The fathoms of ego are places or images of someone’s mind made manifest. |
|
|
FAUST |
It releases a powerful and complex energy… It might draw in people other than the Sinners, like those deeply related to Yi Sang in this case. |
 |
HEATHCLIFF |
…That so? To put it bluntly… It dragged in a bunch of clowns to act on stage, is that right? |
|
|
FAUST |
Although this is merely a guess… Yes, I suppose that’s about right. We’ll have to do our best with our given roles. |
 |
RYŌSHŪ |
…And if we don’t? |
|
|
FAUST |
The image displayed by the fathoms of ego will go awry… ultimately preventing our access to the Golden Bough. We must reenact the original’s—in other words, Yi Sang’s—actual memories as closely as possible. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Alright, I got that clear enough. So… |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
What the-?! I almost jumped out of my skin! |
|
|
YI SANG |
I had people who accompanied me, either by caprice, coincidence… or fate. |
|
|
Dongrang |
What a fascinating line. |
 |
Dongbaek |
…Why did you stand in front of the door like a dork? |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
…What did you call me? Wait… Aren't you the one that just… |
|
|
Dongbaek |
What are you staring at my face for, like you were looking at a dead person? Why, do I look cool? |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
S-She’s right, Gap-ryong, don’t act like such a country bumpkin. Do you want your mannerisms to match your name? |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
…? The hell are you saying now… What is it? |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
(Eep, I’m just reading from the script, Mr. Heathcliff. The script…! That’s just what mine says.) |
|
|
Dongbaek |
What are you whispering like that? |
|
|
Dongrang |
You know, Dongbaek. Gap-ryong was thinking back to how we all managed to gather here at T Corp. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
That really bugs me… Oi, don't call me by that name. |
|
|
Dongrang |
Good acting. The real Gap-ryong always used to ask us not to call him by his name, too. |
 |
OUTIS |
…… |
|
|
YI SANG |
It is now your turn to speak, Sang-heo. |
|
|
OUTIS |
Ahem. |
|
|
OUTIS |
Ah… So… |
|
|
OUTIS |
As one might know, our hometown, S Corp’s district, was going through a turbulent time, many things breaking and changing. |
|
|
OUTIS |
Because of daydreaming higher-ups who tell sweet-sounding words with no substance and corrupt officials squeezing the people, the public’s lives and economy teetered and twisted more and more each day… |
|
|
OUTIS |
With no guarantees of arrangements between Wings or positions to apply for, researchers like us who pursued the studies of knowledge struggle to find even a simple bolt to help ourselves. |
|
|
OUTIS |
That was when Brother Young-ji brought us together. |
|
|
Dongrang |
Ah…I was the one who called Yi Sang and Dongbaek. We grew up in the same town. |
|
|
OUTIS |
…Right, Brother Young-ji and Dongrang brought us together. |
 |
HONG LU |
There, I suggested: |
|
|
HONG LU |
The Wing called T Corp. is seeing remarkable technological growth nowadays, generously backing inventions of machines and technology. |
|
|
HONG LU |
So it should be no problem at all to get any part we need; there, all the people invent for a living. |
|
|
HONG LU |
So, the like-minded ones defected to the district empty-handed, risking everything. |
|
|
MEURSAULT |
As everyone wished… We were free to continue our research here. |
|
|
MEURSAULT |
Even though we had to yield the colors in them, making it so they didn’t outwardly shine. |
|
|
FAUST |
In T Corp’s district, having colors is a kind of privilege. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
They take away colors? |
 |
ISHMAEL |
Colors establish identity. There are few better ways to rob one of uniqueness than this. Isn’t that right? |
|
|
FAUST |
For sure. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
…And colors are some of the few little things the poor could normally have. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
…… |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Hey, Aneung, are you gonna keep chatting away? |
|
|
Dongbaek |
The conference is today. Watch, I’ve made a vibrant amusement. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Look. It blows up better than before, doesn’t it? |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
I have to wonder what is up with your obsession with explosives… I mean, fireworks, Dongbaek… |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Here, you can’t see stars in the night sky thanks to blinding lights and smokestacks filling the air. The stars were so pretty in my hometown, it was fun watching them together. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
What’s more, there’s no color here. Where we were, we could at least see the colors of flowers. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
So… I wanted to bring it back in some way. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Look. Even if it’s all black and white, you can still see it, right? |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Fire makes such a warm color. |
|
|
Dongrang |
I’m a bit embarrassed. I don’t have anything to show off for now. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Is that really something to admit so merrily? |
|
|
Dongrang |
Haha, treating injured animals on the streets took much of my time. |
|
|
Dongrang |
I couldn’t leave them be. They reminded me of the yellow calf I left behind in my hometown. |
 | ||
|
|
Dongbaek |
It used to like you so much. I don’t get what it saw in you. |
|
|
Dongrang |
It was abandoned by its mother. Seeking warmth to lean on is an instinct all living beings have. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Well, by now, I guess it… has offspring? |
|
|
Dongrang |
Hm, probably not. That calf was male. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
…… |
 |
Revived? Liberation Alliance Member |
Agh… Urrgiahh… |
|
|
DANTE |
<…!> |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Oh, bother… Here we go again. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Gap-ryong, looks like the bar owner is here to take the tab you owe again. Why don’t you go outside and greet them? |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
What the, those crooks… How’d they get here? |
|
|
FAUST |
The strong resonance of the Golden Bough with Yi Sang is affecting the entire laboratory building. |
|
|
FAUST |
They were caught up it in as well, but they have no ties to Yi Sang. |
|
|
FAUST |
Since they weren’t given any roles in the play… they’ll instead try to ruin the stage. It’ll only get worse as the fathoms grow unstable. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
In other words, we have to be quick with moving the play’s plot along. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
The more time we spend fooling around like a certain complete oaf instead of reading what the script says, the more enemies will attack us. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
So let’s focus on the foes on deck for now. |
Gifts
Obtained upon entry into the dungeon

Piece of Reversing Memories Yi Sang's level rises to 35.
Yi Sang's Uptie and Threadspin Tiers rise to Tier 3. We were neither highfliers nor greedy vultures; we were merely children who loved technology. |

HONG LU |
I was always worried about the gloom on Dongbaek’s face… |
|
|
HONG LU |
But the things she presents at the illuminators’ conferences are relieving to see; they carry a certain joy with them. |
|
|
HONG LU |
Can I take that as her way of indirectly expressing the smiles she couldn’t make at us? |
|
|
Dongbaek |
…Well, take it however you want. |
|
|
HONG LU |
Yi Sang. |
|
|
HONG LU |
What are you thinking? |
|
|
HONG LU |
I just can’t figure out what your face might mean. It makes me curious to know what’s in your mind. |
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
YI SANG |
…You know what that is: |
|
|
YI SANG |
Nothing. |
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
HONG LU |
Well, how was my acting? |
|
|
YI SANG |
…… |
|
|
YI SANG |
Brother Young-ji was a man of kindness. He was not one to rashly harbor spite or reproach for others. |
|
|
YI SANG |
You resemble him in that sense. |

HONG LU |
You see, I called you this time, because… |
|
|
HONG LU |
I’ve made something interesting that I’d like to show. |
 | ||
|
|
Dongbaek |
Ahem… |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Young-ji… What is this? |
|
|
HONG LU |
…… |
|
|
HONG LU |
There are simply too many transient things that wilt all too soon, don’t you think? |
|
|
HONG LU |
The butterfly only wanted to lightly flutter, but to be punished with death for that crime… That felt too unfortunate. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Did you… bring it back… from the dead? I thought that kind of technology was forbidden by the Head's treaty… |
|
|
YI SANG |
It is no such case. Although the carcass remains inanimate, something has overridden it. |
|
|
HONG LU |
That’s right. To be exact... it’s the glass window. |
|
|
HONG LU |
The butterfly can now be free within it. |
|
|
HONG LU |
Even if its wings dampen while trying to cross a pond, are gripped in somebody’s hands and crumble to dust, or dry out due to the lack of flowers… |
|
|
HONG LU |
The butterfly won’t stop. And eventually… in the distant future… |
|
|
FAUST |
It’ll make it across a sea. |
|
|
FAUST |
If that happens, will the butterfly no longer be afraid of the sea? |
|
|
Dongrang |
Splendid, Young-ji. This level of technology could have numerous applications. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Young-ji… Are you sure… you really made this just for the conference? |
|
|
HONG LU |
What do you mean by that? |
|
|
Dongbaek |
A gathering where we show technology we’ve created as a hobby in our free time after returning from a day's work, sharing our thoughts… |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Wasn’t that the significance and appeal of the illuminators’ conference our League had? |
|
|
Dongbaek |
But this… It doesn’t look like a simple hobbyhorse to me. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Are you still… not over what happened then… |
|
|
HONG LU |
…That’s… how you see it, Dongbaek… |
|
|
HONG LU |
I’d like to know what you think as well, Yi Sang. |
|
|
YI SANG |
…… |
|
|
YI SANG |
As Dongrang rightfully assessed, this is nothing short of a great first discovery. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Alas… |
|
|
YI SANG |
If frost were to form on the glass window… |
|
|
YI SANG |
It will blur the reflected image all the same. |
|
|
YI SANG |
As such, the frame of this glass window… will need to be made firmer and straighter. |
|
|
HONG LU |
…… |
|
|
HONG LU |
Yi Sang, you managed to see through its essence from just a single glance. |
|
|
HONG LU |
But personally… I can’t seem to think of a way, so how about this instead? |
|
|
HONG LU |
Yi Sang, try recreating it in your own way. |
|
|
YI SANG |
My own way… |
|
|
HONG LU |
That’s right. By the next conference. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Is it… truly okay for me… to handle a technology as valuable as the glass window? |
|
|
HONG LU |
You got it wrong. I’m making this suggestion because it’s valuable. |

ISHMAEL |
It looks like the group was at peace. |
|
|
Dongrang |
Things were good for a short while. It was as though we were on a trip. We thought everything would be fine after leaving our hometown for this new place, but alas… |
|
|
Dongrang |
At the end of the day, human societies weren’t so different from each other. |
|
|
OUTIS |
Today… I saw something suspicious at the market. |
|
|
Dongrang |
Now that intrigues me. What is it, Sang-heo? |
|
|
OUTIS |
This invention. Wasn’t this your work for the League of Nine, Gap-ryong? |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
It… is. But, I mean… there’s no need to scour markets and all that, right? It, it’s trust and faith that binds us together, isn’t it? |
|
|
OUTIS |
You must have forgotten the League’s nine laws. |
|
|
RYŌSHŪ |
(L.N.L. Pft. Fascinating.) |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
(Ryōshū! You aren’t supposed to say things that aren't in the script!) |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Tsk. I know. They made me memorize every word of it, you think I’ll forget? |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
No technology made within the League shall be distributed outside. Be particularly careful not to be tainted with the smell of money. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
But… we’ve been told that all our property will be seized if we don’t pay the rent for the laboratory within the next six days. What are we supposed to do? |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
We’ve got to do something about it. The money we earn at the factory can only barely keep us fed. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
We got here from S Corp’s district, taking nothing but passion for research with us! Tell me how else we’re gonna pay the rent. |
|
|
MEURSAULT |
That’s a valid point. Taxes are heavier on us because we migrated from another district. |
|
|
MEURSAULT |
They are demanding a fee we cannot afford to pay regularly. |
|
|
YI SANG |
…I can pay that. So I suggest we put this matter to rest. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Wait, why haven’t I been told about this before? Seized? Did you know all along, Young-ji? I want to hear it from you directly. |
|
|
OUTIS |
I understand that you’re upset, but be mindful of what you say to Brother Young-ji, Dongbaek. |
|
|
HONG LU |
I’m fine, Sang-heo. |
|
|
HONG LU |
Dongbaek, I was planning to tell you once it had been dealt with. I figured you'd be the first to get furious about matters concerning the League. |
|
|
HONG LU |
And Yi Sang, while I sincerely appreciate your offer, I couldn’t possibly take it. |
|
|
YI SANG |
It bothers me not, for accumulating wealth has no meaning to me. I urge you to spend it for the League’s sake. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Whaaat? Wait, Yi Sang! Were you that rich? |
|
|
Dongrang |
Haha, you might want to do a better job at remembering your part, yes? |
|
|
Dongrang |
The enemies will start attacking again, you know. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Look who’s fooling around like an oaf, failing what’s as easy as reading words on paper. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Haah… |

YI SANG |
It’s a pleasure to meet you. I am… |
|
|
Sang Yi |
Yi Sang, isn’t it. What a peculiar experience this is. |
|
|
Sang Yi |
And that mirror you’re holding… |
|
|
YI SANG |
It’s what I call Yeonsim. |
|
|
Sang Yi |
Yeonsim, huh... (硏, to grind or study; 尋, to seek) |
|
|
YI SANG |
This is a product of grinding something… scraping even the mind to polish it. |
|
|
Sang Yi |
I see. I suppose all versions of Yi Sang were dedicated to research. |
|
|
YI SANG |
You have wings on your back, if my eyes aren't being deceitful. |
|
|
Sang Yi |
…What do you think of them? |
|
|
YI SANG |
…Resplendent. |
|
|
YI SANG |
They look quite warm… and free. |
|
|
||
 | ||
|
|
YI SANG |
I only made minor modifications to Brother Young-ji’s work. |
|
|
YI SANG |
I wanted to show a reflection of any possibility in its unvarnished image, without a blur. |
|
|
HONG LU |
The stars I saw while lying on the ground here seemed so far away… |
|
|
HONG LU |
Yet it was possible to see them up close. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Is this why I haven’t been able to see you lately? To discover this? I thought you caved to your yearning for rice and went back to S Corp’s district… |
|
|
Dongbaek |
I’ll say, though… This isn’t half bad. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Dongrang, why are you laughing like that? |
|
|
Dongrang |
It’s just funny that you’re talking so ferociously when your eyes are full of curious twinkles. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Yi Sang, will you tell him to shut it? |
|
|
Dongrang |
Why don’t you first hide your facial recreation of a child who’s tried ice cream for the first time? |
|
|
Dongrang |
Gubo, why don’t you say something? You’ve been part of the League for fairly long now, so stop standing around like a guest. |
 |
DON QUIXOTE |
…What more do I have to add? Everyone already seems to be of one mind. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
…If you’re trying to be an odd one out, at least have some audacity. Some cold fish you are. |
|
|
HONG LU |
I see… So this… is how you view the world. |
|
|
YI SANG |
…The world I view, is it. |
|
|
HONG LU |
Did you know? They say every invention carries hints of the hopes and dreams of its inventor. |
|
|
HONG LU |
Discovering them is one of the spectators’ joys. It's a tidbit that’s good to know. |
|
|
Dongrang |
So, Yi Sang, what do you plan to do with this technology? |
|
|
YI SANG |
Do… what exactly? |
|
|
Dongrang |
Brother Young-ji’s glass window is already making the rounds. Researchers from other Nests have taken an interest, or so I’ve heard. |
|
|
Dongrang |
Really… We rarely saw visitors in the past, but now we might have to start punching tickets so all those people will stand in line. |
|
|
Dongrang |
So if you announce your work here… |
|
|
YI SANG |
Dongrang, I have absolutely no intention of announcing this. |
|
|
Dongrang |
…None? At all? |
|
|
YI SANG |
All that I ask… |
|
|
YI SANG |
Is to keep this as a moment of laughter, solely between us. |
|
|
Dongrang |
…… |
|
|
Dongrang |
Look, just what is your idea of… |
|
|
Dongbaek |
Pft… Yi Sang. That was the second funniest moment I’ve seen out of you. |
|
|
Dongbaek |
The first is… y’know, when the yellow calf was being fed milk, and it suddenly licked his hair… Pfh… |
|
|
Dongrang |
True, I’ve never seen Dongbaek laugh as loudly as then. |
|
|
YI SANG |
T-That… I think we’d best forget… |
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
RODION |
By the way, is that… the same as the mirror we use? |
|
|
FAUST |
Similar, to be exact. Limbus Company uses a mirror with special modifications. |
|
|
RODION |
You invented something incredible, Yi Sang… |
|
|
YI SANG |
What Young-ji and I did… wasn’t invention; we discovered, rather. |
|
|
MEURSAULT |
T Corp… wouldn’t have been pleased with the idea of a technology capable of peeping into other worlds without permission. |
|
|
MEURSAULT |
I do believe you know well enough that their problem lies with the lack of permission, not the capability of the technology. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Although we had figured that… |
|
|
YI SANG |
We thought it would be fine since it was only used as a pastime between us. |
|
|
YI SANG |
The decision couldn't have been more glib. |

Unknown Boy |
It’s quiet. |
|
|
Unknown Boy |
Nothing like the Outskirts… |
|
|
Stephanette |
You’re right. Was the world beyond the Outskirts one filled with such beautiful and tranquil beings? |
|
|
Unknown Boy |
Yeah, I guess that must be the reason everyone tried to keep quiet about it. |
|
|
Stephanette |
Right, do you, by any chance… know a story about the things beyond the Outskirts? It’s said there’s a thing that lives here… granting wishes to those who are earnest. Wanna hear it? |
|
|
Unknown Boy |
Sure. I always look forward to your stories. |
|
|
Stephanette |
Can it wait just a moment? I saw something nice over there. |
 | ||
|
|
Unknown Boy |
…… |
|
|
Unknown Boy |
When we look up at our sky… all we see is a pinch of muddled light. |
|
|
Unknown Boy |
But here… |
|
|
Unknown Boy |
I can see lone stars looking down at us. |
|
|
Unknown Boy |
Since the city I can see from here is filled with cries of pain and despair… |
 | ||
|
|
Unknown Boy |
I’d rather… gaze down at people from the loneliness up in the sky and shed tears with them… |
 | ||
|
|
Stephanette |
Sorry, I was a bit late. There were flowers I’d never seen before, maybe we could smell them as I tell my story… |
 | ||
|
|
Stephanette |
…… |
|
|
Stephanette |
I see, have you… finally fulfilled your wish? |
|
|
Stephanette |
Starting today, even if the handful of stars doesn't rise in a corner of the night sky… |
|
|
Stephanette |
Those stars will light the dark of the lands below instead… |
|
|
Stephanette |
So it’ll all be okay. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
What was that just now? It felt like a story from long ago. |
|
|
FAUST |
As the Golden Bough generated the fathoms of ego in a frenzy… foreign matters were mixed into them. |
|
|
FAUST |
K Corp’s Singularity: Tears of the so-called 'Tearful Thing'. |
 |
GREGOR |
Can sure see that… It’s bringing back dead people to fight us. |
|
|
FAUST |
Yes, they seem to be relevant to the experiences… of melting down. |
|
|
HONG LU |
Did the mind of that Tearful Thing melt into this resonance as well, then? |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
That means… the Tearful Thing is… no different from people… |
|

SINCLAIR |
The space has changed. Where… was this place? |
|
|
Dongrang |
What are you talking about, Aneung. This is the road we would traverse all the time. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
Oh… Um… Right. |
|
|
YI SANG |
This… was the place of my day’s profession… or the avenue nearby. |
|
|
RODION |
Hm, you researched by night… and during the day? |
|
|
YI SANG |
I was an architect. |
|
|
GREGOR |
Ooh~ An architect, huh… That’s a neat occupation you had, Yi Sang. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Neat, you say… |
|
|
YI SANG |
Originally, children used to run in these streets. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Although there weren’t many… they came into my view on occasion. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Even a single abandoned ball could keep a smile on their faces. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
I am vastly fond of youths as well! Are they not the most innocent beings? |
|
|
Dongrang |
But they’re nowhere to be seen now. Where could they have gone? |
|
|
YI SANG |
Once children are old enough to learn language, they are taken to factories. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Among them are those I made… those factories whose architecture I designed with my hands. |
|
|
HONG LU |
Yi Sang… |
|
|
YI SANG |
They were optimized for efficiently monitoring people. It made pressing laborers more convenient than ever. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Perhaps the reason my income has been rather high is that the owners of those buildings run a profitable business. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
…… |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Well, even so… It’s not like you spent that money to show off. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
You gave it all for the League. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
…Do you remember? The first thing I invented… after getting a job at T Corp. |
|
|
HONG LU |
The identification tags, right? |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Yeah, I made them to help lost kids. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
It’s absurd, I know. Maybe I expected it to help more children reunite with their parents. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
But now... they’re being used to monitor the workers’ time spent on the job in every factory. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Heck, I made those things, and even I’m not free from the obligation to wear one while working. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Those were the kinds of achievements we accomplished in T Corp’s district. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Which is why… I became more engrossed in the mirror. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Untainted, unadulterated… I wished to immerse myself in the pure exploration of knowledge. |
|
|
YI SANG |
So that… I wouldn’t have to take anything from anyone. |
|
|
Sang Yi |
You knew you’d face those predicaments since the moment you made your way to T Corp’s territory avoiding exploitation and abuse, haven't you, Yi Sang? |
|
|
Sang Yi |
That you’d have to exploit others if you don’t want to be. |
|
|
Sang Yi |
So don’t feel guilty about it. |
Story Dungeon Events
Looking for a Drone
Looking for a Drone
A broken K Corp. drone is tumbling on the floor.
I can only revive Sinners where I can see the star, so in the meantime...
We might be able to find an ampule to use if we search through it.
Rummage through the drone. A Sinner good at searching should be able to help
Who will be the most efficient at the job?
 Check PassedSeveral wounds were left on [Sinner]'s hands while rummaging through the wreckage. The Sinner who passed the check took 10 HP damage! E.G.O Gift Small Ampule earned!  Check FailedThe broken debris was sharper than expected. The Sinner who failed the check took 10 HP damage! Give the drone another try? Rummage through the drone. Perform the check again. Leave again. Nothing happened. There wouldn't be a point in risking another injury. We left the room, complaining about the misfortune. Nothing happened. |
Leave. Nothing happened. "What're you looking at? There's clearly nothing to grab." ...A closer look could find something useful, but the sharp pieces and debris look like they might cause injury we could've avoided. We quietly left the room. Nothing happened. |
Gifts

Small Ampule At the start of the turn, allies under 40% HP heal 100% of Max HP. (Once per floor)

An Ampule to Use
An Ampule to Use
A broken K Corp. drone is tumbling on the floor.
I can only revive Sinners where I can see the star, so in the meantime...
We might be able to find an ampule to use if we search through it.
Use the ampule. "Lo, warnings are written on the ampules!" Skimming through the glass bottles, I could see tiny notices attached to them. However, the text was too dense to read properly. "Missing parts… insufficient… stop? I have no idea what this is saying." "Manager Esquire! It would appear that this device has two modes: single and group!" It certainly looks like it's up to me to choose. What will we do? |
Use the ampule for everyone. All allies that lost HP fully heal. Allies with full HP lose HP and SP. Shouldn't hurt to let all the Sinners benefit from it. I pressed the 'group' button. "Ngh!" "This is weird... I'm feeling sick all of a sudden." A number of Sinners groaned in pain. Thinking about what they had in common... I realized that they were all uninjured. "This must not be something you may administer to healthy individuals." ...Better be careful next time. Friendly Units whose HP is not full healed for 20 HP. Allies unaffected by previous effects took 20 HP and 10 SP damage! At the start of the next battle, All Ally Units gain 3 Attack Power Up. |
Use the ampule on the Sinner in the worst state. The ally with the least HP heals to full HP. [Sinner] looked like the Sinner in the sorriest state, so we stood them at the injector and pressed the 'single' button. ...The Sinner seems to have gotten much better! Friendly Units with the least HP healed back to Full HP. |
Don't use the ampule. Nothing happened. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to test these things I don't even know well enough on the Sinners. We just decided to leave the room. Nothing happened. |
Poking at the Egg
Poking at the Egg
"Are these... eggs?"
"Please be careful. It might be an Abnormality."
Come to think of it, I was told that the underground lab K Corp. set up also managed eggs from the L Corp. branch.
"Whoa, hey... Is this thing twitching?"
As the Sinner observed, an egg begins to move.
What will we do?
Touch the eggs. Considering our experiences with receiving gifts from Abnormalities, we might just be able to get something to help with exploring the dungeon here.
Who will be the most effective at the job? A delicate hand will have an easier time.
Check Passed"Whoa!" The Sinner who passed the check lost 10 SP! E.G.O Gift Piece of Crumbled Egg earned! Check Failed"Whoa!" The Sinner who failed the check lost 10 SP! The chosen Sinner has 10 Rupture for 1 turn in the next battle. |
Don't touch the eggs. Nothing happened. "What else do we do? We gotta run!" It couldn't be more true. We quickly escaped the room. Nothing happened. |
