Second Dejection

1/3 - Clear 'Moonlight Hill (Day) (Uphill)' [0/1]

Noah wishes to know exactly how everything changes in his second life, so he decides to follow Titania on the way to find the ingredients for the cure. While battling monsters, Noah feels a strange sense of deja vu as he watches Titania fight, but shakes it off.

Though he feared it was a repeat of the past, this time, he managed to save Yuria and the camp.

Noah felt a small potential from the small change. Though it's scary and he's still apprehensive, perhaps he can change something this time.

2/3 - Read the Old Journal ('Someone's Lab')

Perhaps it was the uncertainty he felt watching Titania, but Noah's power becomes unstable and he has a harder time controlling his power. Clamor gives him tips about magic that can materialize his unstable power and Noah hopes this too, becomes a new possibility.

But… How should he move forward?

From endless apprehension and dejection, the fact that Noah was able to save Yuria and the camp served as a sliver of hope, but still, Noah was unable to completely shake off his negative feelings.

A relationship that that was formed for the first time, magic he's learning for the first time, and his power that's still unstable. Too many things changed to be happy about what's better than before, and all those things caused Noah to still suffer apprehension.

3/3 - Clear 'Moonlight Hill (Day) (Uphill)' [0/1]

Clamor reassured Noah that his power should stabilize once he becomes more familiar with magic, but is that true? Perhaps he's going the wrong direction. No, did he even want to move forward?

He knows he must, but his feet are glued to the ground.Z

If it's possible, he wishes to push back on revenge and hope this moment lasts forever.

Noah hides his desire to settle now and avoid his goals and began to slowly move on.

CHUNG 4TH PATH!!!!!!?????????????? I'M GOING BALLISTIC I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONGGGG AND THEY DELIVERED SO HARD

[ainchase]

A Path They Would Never Choose?

me: oh shit the 4th path raven looks awesome

friend: idk im sad cuz I wanted him to be happy

me: but this makes him seem more human lol i mean if someone killed off my lover and framed me and tried to kill me and i was brainwashed into committing war crimes i would want revenge too; seems natural and normal

friend: i just know that raven would never choose revenge so it just makes me sad lol

friend: since 4th path looks like it's about a choice the character would actually never make

me: oh you have a point cuz that's what i thought when i saw Genesis; 'elsword would never'

friend: yeah exactly

me: eve also makes sense but what bout aisha?

friend: i think the aisha we know would never sacrifice the integrity of herself in pursuit of something; she wouldn't feel the need to because she is already confident in her ability and herself

me: ah i see you're right

me: so this raven 4th path is, like with everyone else, is on a path of something he would never have chosen which is.. going down the path of revenge lol

friend: exactly

me: ...oh shit does that mean ain 4th path is actually demon version of ain? lmao

Schatz Reprise

1/5 - Altera - Clear 'Nasod Foundry' [0/1]

The journey was getting longer. Despite the constant attempt to communicate, the Goddess didn't respond. Ain was starting to feel unsettled. Did something go wrong?

Did I do something wrong? Did something happen to the Goddess? Or… perhaps the Goddess has forgotten me.

His uncertainty pushed his thoughts to the extreme, but Ain tried to push those thoughts away. There's no way the Goddess has forgotten me. It's because there are so many abandoned Nasods here. The smell of rust felt like blood and giving him strange thoughts. Ain hurried to leave the place. Ignoring the fact that he, as an angel, had no reason to find the smell of blood ominous, and there was another reason for his uncertainty.

2/5 - Altera - Clear 'Altera Core' [0/1]

As he fought against the massive Nasod army in Altera Core, Ain struggles and feels the limits of his power, but didn't feel as uncertain aas before. In fact, the uncertainty he felt was somewhat resolved, and his mind felt clearer than ever.

The floating island Altera. A place he would have never visited if it weren't for the stolen El. To think it's here he found an army of Nasod soldiers, one of the reasons for the El Overload! Did the Goddess predict this outcome?

Was this confusion, uncertainty, and wavering also the intention of the Goddess? In that case, he will follow her will and eliminate all enemies.

3/5 - Enter 'Feita Village'

The Nasod army stayed silent and the stolen El shard was retrieved. It finally felt like everything was falling into place. Perhaps the Goddess predicted everything will resole like this. Every problem that happened in Elrios and the restoration of the El must all be according to her great plan. As such, he just needs to walk the path she ordered him without single doubt. He was ashamed to feel uncertain from the Goddess not responding.

Feita sent the El Search Party a request for help. This too, must be part of the Goddess's plan. Do not show doubt and walk the path the Goddess shines.

4/5 - Feita - Clear 'Shrine of Dedication Entrance' [0/1]

Something was wrong. When he was faced with the El corrupted by demonic energy, Ain felt the unwavering faith within him shatter. The only thought remaining in his head was that he must purify the El, and his unplanned response prove to be disastrous. When Ain came in contact to the Dark El without protecting himself, the demonic energy began to permeate.

The demonic energy spread to his chaos wound and when he finally realized what was happening, it was already too late. After short, but horrible time mixed with pain, regret, and self-blame passed, Ain was able to regain composure. However, his power was already mutated from demonic energy.

5/5 - Feita - Clear 'Underground Chapel' [0/1]

Soon, uncontrollable, heightened emotion began to overwhelm Ain. Foolish beings who shows no remorse despite neglecting the blessing from the Goddess and shattered the El. The shameless who enjoy the blessing of the El more than deserved, yet do not cherish it. How can he not loath the very being that caused everything? As demonic energy begins to take over his body, his anger kept boiling. Yes, perhaps he started off the wrong way.

His mission is to return energy to the El, in order to complete his mission, he must first restore the El, but he cannot entrust this important mission to those who have already damaged it. It must be him. Only he, as the messenger of the Goddess, can right this wrong. Ain dragged his body that no longer feels like his own and headed deeper in to the shrine.
