Where am I...The rocking car is filled with the scent of low-quality leather. My head spins. My body is still struggling against the neurotoxin. Blurry and distant memories return to me in fragments.
I was a new hunter when tragedy struck and took away people who were important to me.I traveled to the Arctic, searching for the truth, and discovered an incredible power source that rested in my heart: the Aether Core.Using the information left behind by Grandma, I concluded that what happened to me is related to Onychinus, a well-known organization in the N109 Zone. They want the Aether Core in my heart.So l decided to enter the N109 Zone to get closer to Onychinus in an attempt to find answers.It doesn't matter if they're about the Aether Core in my heart or that incident. Everything is going according to plan.I brought the most valuable "bait," the Aether Core, deep into the abyss that is the N109 Zone. Whoever takes the bait-will this person be the one I'm looking for? The inhibitor should have taken effect by now. I'll wait a little longer.

The man drags me out of the car and pulling out a knife "You're awake? Guess you're a tough gal. But I'm warning you. Don't try any tricks on me, you hear?"

"So you're just a middleman. Are you working for people from the N109 Zone?" I asked.

"Shut up. Let me inspect the goods before I hand you over. Where did you hide the Aether Core?" He asks.

"Kidnapping Onychinus's prey without letting us know... That's not exactly polite." I heard a voice said.

"Who's there?" The man asked looking around.

"She's ours, by the way. We called dibs a long time ago." Another voice said.

"I'm really curious... She's brave enough to drink from a black glass." The voice from before said.

Then all the sudden they appear earring strange masks and hooded they looked at me "What will she do when backed into a corner."

"You're pretty bold for releasing information about the Aether Core in The Nest like that."

"Explains why boss is interested."

"I see... Sylus sent you..." the guy said pointing a gun at me "But the Aether Core... is mine!"
