After leaving the Black Glass Tower, Kael couldn't sleep.
Every time he closed his eyes, the formless being returned—not as a shape, but as a feeling.
Watched. Measured. Awaited.

[Location: Forbidden Planet – "Trasyllion"]
> "Lovely. Let's vacation somewhere ominous," Kael muttered.
> "It was removed from system charts 600 years ago," Lirieth said.
"Not because it was uninhabitable. But because it was... connected."
> "Connected to what?"
"Everything the system denies."

Travel to Trasyllion
They crossed the Dark Dimensional Path, a road only those with unregistered classes could enter.
Kael saw glimpses of places, people, and memories not his.
One face kept appearing:
A black-haired young man. Sharp eyes. A scar on his chest.
---
Lirieth: "That's the image of a 'Left Entity'. System assumed he perished in a family dispute."
Serenya: "But his blood... matches yours."
Kael froze. "That's my brother.
Arelion."

Trasyllion – The Forbidden World
Trasyllion was alive.
But not in a way life should be.
The land breathed.
The air watched.
The sky wasn't starry—it was cracked code, shimmering like a broken eye.

Kael approached the central ruin. The crystal pulsed violently.
> [Fragment connected. Initiating recall...]

Memory Flash – The Lost Brother
> A dark room.
Arelion stood before the system, refusing not one—but all of his fate lines.
> "You'll be erased," the system warned.
"Then erase me," he replied. "But I'll return as something you cannot name."
> The memory ended.
---
Kael exhaled sharply.
> "He did it first. He broke the system... before I ever thought to."
Serenya added, "And maybe… he broke yours to save you."

First Encounter – Not Arelion, But His Echo
They found a battlefield. The ground torn. The sky fractured.
From the mist came a faint projection—a translucent echo of Arelion.
> "Kael..."
His voice was faint. His eyes... knew him.
"Don't go further. They've seen you. Now... they're waiting."
Kael stepped closer. "Arelion? Are you—"
But the echo vanished into mist.

Lirieth finally spoke, her voice shaken:
> "We're no longer fighting broken rules...
We've attracted the ones who wrote them."
