Chapter 25: Legendary Lumiere

One day after returning to Linkon City, you went through the application process to access all available databases in the Association. However, the word "Onychinus" was...

Search Engine:
          Sorry, no relevant data entries can be found. Please use another database and try again.

Y/N:
          (How? It didn't seem like a secret since Captain Jenna mentioned them before... Are there hidden search results?)

You try again and type "N109 Zone."

Search Engine:
          Fifty-one relevant data entries found.

You click and read the results.

[SEARCH RESULTS]

The N109 Zone, once a hub for technological advancement, was destroyed during the disaster 14 years ago. It became a wasteland. A Protofield has engulfed the no-hunt zone, isolating it from the outside world. Wanderers and fog act as a natural barrier, rendering this area free from the government's and the Association's jurisdiction.

Over time, countless misfits and exiles risked their lives to enter the N109 Zone. Various factions now exist in an area where violence and crime are the norm. The N109 Zone is now a lawless place, where morality is unheard of.

Text continues to appear on the screen. As you quickly skim, your disappointment only grows.

Y/N:
          (All of this is vague information...)

You continue to read till the end.

Y/N:
          (I won't find any leads on N109 Zone from the Association.)

You sigh and end your search. Suddenly, Tara's face appears in front of you.

Tara:
          Hey! So, how was Snowcrest? Did you have fun?

Y/N:
          ...Tara!

You grab the souvenir you brought back.

Y/N:
          The aurora was amazing, the mountains were beautiful, and there was this-

Tara:
          You actually remembered!

She happily accepts the souvenir, and then leans in.

Tara:
          I noticed you were looking into the N109 Zone. Got a new mission already?

She looks at the images in the computer then looks worriedly at you.

Tara:
          That's a place even veteran hunters won't touch. Shouldn't Captain Jenna be extra prepared before heading in...

Y/N:
          (The fewer people involved with Onychinus and District N109, the better.)

You hesitate for a moment, then beat around the bush.

Y/N:
          ...I was just curious. Even if Captain Jenna gave me the mission in person, I wouldn't accept it. Haha.

Tara:
          I see... But I heard the people in the N109 Zone are too busy cleaning up their own mess. They won't be causing trouble any time soon.

Y/N:
          What do you mean?

Tara:
          About a month ago, not long after our last mission ended, there was quite a spectacle at the N109 Zone.
