From the Echoes of Destruction

With the Anchor at the TD Observatory restored, a true frequency rises from the depths, bringing a voice to your mind. It reveals that your awakening in the Gorges of Spirits was no mere coincidence. Before Yangyang found you, a mysterious figure had been watching your every move...

With the Anchor at the TD Observatory restored, a true frequency rises from the depths, bringing a voice to your mind. It reveals that your awakening in the Gorges of Spirits was no mere coincidence. Before Yangyang found you, a mysterious figure had been watching your every move...

Yangyang has sent word that a Bloom Bearer from the Black Shores is currently in the Port City of Guixu and may have important information about your identity. Upon your arrival in the city, you happen to run into Chenpi's apprentice, Youhu…

Upon arriving at the coordinates provided by Niya, you find the bodies of several Black Shores members who have died under mysterious circumstances. There, you encounter a mysterious Bloom Bearer named Hoda, who claims to know about your past but cannot divulge the details. Before disappearing, Hoda directs you to Youhu for further clues...

In the Port City of Guixu, you meet Niya, a Bloom Bearer who quickly recognizes you. She warns of an abnormal frequency detected in Guixu that must be urgently brought back to the Black Shores. If left unresolved, it might trigger another Lament…

Youhu reveals that the clue Hoda mentioned is an artifact from Mt. Firmament, discovered by her and Master Chenpi. Now, it seems connected with the Black Shores. The frequency tied to Hoda is hidden within this artifact, and it seems linked to the deaths of the Bloom Bearers. Reporting this matter to Niya and the Black Shores is now a matter of urgency.

As you traverse the Sonoro Sphere, you finally arrive at your true beginnings. Yet, the person who waits here remains beyond your grasp…

Passing through the mist, you encounter Aalto on patrol. After you recount your recent experience, he speculates that the blue figure you just saw might be the Shorekeeper from the Black Shores. However, the immediate priority is to upload the abnormal frequency to the Tethys System for analysis. Meanwhile, the Black Shores seem to be grappling with certain anomalies...

In the Greenhouse, you encounter two robots that recognize you as the lone Rover of Solaris. They speak of Blake Blooms as if you share a connection with them, but it appears that the Tethys System is somehow restraining them from revealing the truth of your identity…

A strange piano, known as the Modulation Device, plays its notes unbidden, offering fleeting glimpses of the past through sound and frequency. As you and Abby dive deeper into these reveries, a violent tremor shatters the moment…

You hand over the data to the specialized robot at the Black Shores, which swiftly uploads it into the Tethys System. The merchant known as KU-Money, perhaps mistaking you as one of their own, rewards you with a substantial sum of money. However, despite its extensive knowledge of the Black Shores, the robot knows nothing of Hoda's true identity.

You meet Monica, the chief administrator of the Black Shores, and discover that the Tethys System has been experiencing instability. You then brief her on the recent events in the Port City of Guixu.

Even Monica, the chief administrator of the Black Shores, has never heard of the name Hoda. Right after your discussion, another quake shakes the Black Shores, echoing the disaster in the Port City of Guixu. To safeguard the Tethys System, Monica instructs you to inspect the Modulation Device in the Greenhouse.

With all restorations complete, you scarcely have a moment to rest before the enigmatic Bloom Bearer Hoda reappears, addressing you as the mentor she has been following. Shortly after, the Shorekeeper herself emerges, welcoming your return…

The Shorekeeper explains that during your absence, she and the Tethys System had taken over the running of the Black Shores. She confirms that it was indeed she who saved you, Yangyang, and Youhu in the Port City of Guixu. To address the threats posed by Hoda and the looming crisis in both the Black Shores and the Port City of Guixu, the Shorekeeper requests that you venture underground, to where the starry sky awaits...

Astral Modulator, Guide of Civilizations, Mastermind of the Black Shores... these titles reflect your accomplishments. In the starry underground sky, the Necrostar streaks like a meteor into the distance. The Shorekeeper asks that you retrieve the Necrostar and restore balance at the Modulation Hall.

You and the Shorekeeper finally arrive at the Error Cell where the Necrostar has fallen. However, you find that many of the injured have been severely affected by the corrupted data and cannot be saved.

With the Shorekeeper's assistance, you successfully retrieve the source of the chaos—the Necrostar. Abby, though weary, protests your involvement but lacks the strength to intervene. The Shorekeeper, meanwhile, appears deeply concerned about you and Abby's unique symbiosis.

The Shorekeeper can sense the underlying emotions feeding into deceit, pity, and other behavior, but struggles to fully understand them. She reveals that the data you recovered is related to the Lament from the Port City of Guixu, and the Tethys System is using the Lament itself to fight against it...

A robot stationed in the Eidoscope informs you that the Shorekeeper has been guarding the Black Shores for the past twenty years. She often conceals herself using her Sonoro, as if anticipating someone's return...

Ensnared by her Sonoro's overflow, you are drawn into the disasters the Shorekeeper has "lived" through while analyzing the Lament. Her form, created by the Sonoro Sphere, is bound to the Tethys System's calculations. Her sole desire is to protect you and the Black Shores, but a hidden truth lingers in her heart...

After bringing the Necrostar back to the Modulation Hall, you prepare to head to the Stellar Matrix for remodulation. At this moment, the Shorekeeper, who has been in slumber, appears before you in physical form. She pleads to accompany you on the path that lies ahead.

As the newly reinstated highest administrator of the Tethys System, you announce to all of the Black Shores that past mistakes must be set right. Only by saving people can civilization itself be saved. As a member of the Black Shores, you face a crucial decision: If the Black Shores is a haven for every wandering soul, your mission is now to bring every lost soul back home.

The Tethys System manipulates the Necrostar, attempting to consume you as its core. In a desperate bid to save you, the Shorekeeper is swallowed into the Necrostar. When you awaken, you find yourself in the deepest part of the Tethys System, known as the "End of Wandering." In her final moments, the Shorekeeper bids you farewell.

The Shorekeeper and you return to reality, landing on the very beach where you first arrived in the Black Shores. She explains her deception regarding the Stellar Matrix and expresses her gratitude.

The Shorekeeper warns you of Abby's anomalies. Through your intervention, the Tethys System has returned to its rightful state, now operating with peaceful and harmonious frequencies.
