Falling for him (sylus and OC

Abandoned Memory

The almost transparent elevator quickly ascends, and the colorful nighttime scenery is hidden by the clouds. "What is this place?" | asked. Countless pieces of metal are strewn across the spacious rooftop that's shrouded in mist. And in the haze, barely visible, are abandoned collection vessels, transporters, and other devices.
Broken steel bars poke out from the overgrown weeds. Rusty frames are propped up, outlining a bygone era. "It looks like a laboratory for experiments..."

"It was one many years ago. But they abandoned it a while back." Sylus, spoke

"They?"

Stepping over broken fragments and glass shards, Sylus's tone remains aloof.

"EVER"

EVER?! As the most prestigious international business group, it basically supports the whole Linkon CityHow could they be involved with the N109 Zone?

"I heard that before the ChronoriftCatastrophe, the N109 Zone was the most prosperous tech hub. So I guess it makes sense that EVER used it as a research base."

"You really are a naive Linkon citizen."

"What do you mean?"

"Many locations were affected by that catastrophe, yet only the N109 Zone turned into a wasteland. Why do you think that is?" | recall some unverified rumors, but my mind is a mess right now. I can't think of any theories "we're here"Slow vibrations resembling heartbeats pulsate in the sky. I look up and see the Deepspace Tunnel.Dense clouds and vortexes churn amidst the darkness. And occasionally, a stream of light flashes across the night sky. The silent tunnel is like a telescope peeking into the

"The Deepspace Tunnel... This is the first time l've been so close to it" A tiny beam of light enters my line of sight. I can't help but take a step— "It's a Flux Nexus. I saw one in a no-hunt zone!"

"Then you should know what it contains. These fluctuations aren't produced by normal Protocores." "Sylus stands next to me, looking at me with his eyes that have unfathomable depths. "Think about it first. Once you take it out, there's no going back."

I'm already here. Why should I give up now? Gritting my teeth, I put my hand on the Flux Nexus' intricate pattern.The power of resonance instantly flows through my body, and dazzling light seeps out from my palm. A shiny, floating Protocore appears. "The Aether Core!" Yet as soon as I touch it, the ground starts to shake violently. A storm appears. Violent fluctuations lash out from the Deepspace Tunnel's entrance. A huge shadow emerges from the vortex. It's getting closer and closer. Its wings blot out all light in the sky. "Is this... the backup plan they talked about?!"

"We finally got something presentable."

A huge Protofield unfolds before us. Then, the ferocious Wanderer charges toward us at breakneck speed!
