Conquer Shallow Abysses

Shallow Abysses (sometimes also written simply
“Shallow”) are scattered in each area where adventures take
place. These are closely related to “Guardian Fellows” (see p.
25) and conquering Shallow Abysses as a condition for
completing some Quests.
Some of the PC's objectives also include conquering
Shallows, such as information on where Shallow is located,

they visit a new city for the first time, they will receive ★ as a
reward for reaching the city.
There are several cities, each with different facilities
available. Facilities in each city are marked by icons, so please
check them each time PCs arrive in a new city.

Explore the Areas

PCs will explore eight areas in the northwestern part of the
Korgana region to achieve objectives. There are several ways
to reach a new city, but they will most likely have to traverse
the area on foot to reach a new area or location.

Accomplish and Reporting of Quests

Adventurers' Guilds in cities, settlements in the area, or
NPCs PCs meet may give quests.
Quests are long-term requests with no conditions or
deadlines for receiving them. If there is a Quest from the
Adventurers' Guild or other guilds, PCs are required to check
the conditions of the Quest, complete it, and report it if they
succeed in completing it.
Completing a Quest will earn ★ for each achievement,
and reporting the Quest will earn an additional ★.
If the number of ★ earned exceeds a certain amount when
reporting a Quest, the character can grow (see p. 11).

“Black Wolf” Alexandra, whose real name was Alexandra

Petrovna Zakhkarina, had long light-gold hair and dull silver
eyes and was a legendary hero who defeated many Daemons
with her beloved Murakka, the Frostbite Magic Spear. It is
known that a huge black wolf named Lapis always
accompanied her.
She is the first generation of the Tiens created after the
advent of Abyss and was raised as a knight escort for Duchess
Ilyichna Shalykin of the Kingdom of Asilmurat, but the
kingdom was destroyed by a massive attack by Daemons.
After that, she continued to fight against Daemons for several
years, protecting Ilyichna, but when Ilyichna was killed in
battle, she vowed to return to her country and volunteered to
become a Wall Guardian. Alexandra became a Wall
Guardian and defeated many Daemons, but in the end, she
was defeated in battle by Daemon, the same one who killed
Ilyichna. Her corpse is said to have been hidden somewhere
by Black Wolf Lapis.
Alexandra's favorite spear, Murakka, is owned by Urshma,
an adventurer based in Reines, who is said to have already
retired from adventuring.

 Katya Rosa, also known as the “Hero Killer,” was a
Nomari girl with blond hair tied back and dark red eyes. She
served as the priest of Guiding Star Harula and wore a
traditional costume adorned with mysterious swirling Nomari
patterns. It was said that her Polar Staff had the power to lead
those who fought against Daemons to victory.
As a Nomari, Katya lived a nomadic life with her family.
However, after her 15th birthday, her family was killed in a
Daemon attack. She was later rescued by Caraway, who went
on to become a hero. Together, they became Wall Guardians,
fighting and killing Daemons in numerous battles.
However, it is said that one day, after a fierce battle in
which Caraway was seriously wounded, Katya suddenly killed
him and took her own life. It is unknown why, but it is said
that Katya was unable to bear the sight of Caraway suffering
from his fatal wound or that it was caused by a passionate
affair. In any case, she is now known as the “Hero Killer”.
Katya's Polar Staff can now be found in the Temple of
Harula in Turkhidar.

Zai, also known as the “Fatal Shot,” was a Wall Guardian

renowned as the most powerful sniper. He was a Nightmare
with gray hair and blue eyes, a birthmark on the right half of
his face, and a horn above his right ear. He always wore the
Avenger's Mask, which was used by the Miritsa congregation
of men who swore revenge. However, the tradition of wearing
the Avenger's Mask has been lost today.
Zai was born in a small country and lived a happy life with
parents who were not prejudiced. However, when the
Diabolic Triumph broke out, his country was destroyed, and
he lost his fiancée, Julietta. He pledged himself to the
Goddess of Love and Vengeance, Miritsa, wore the Avenger's
Mask, and became a volunteer soldier to fight against
Barbarous. After successfully defeating Barbarous, he became
a Wall Guardian and spent his time fighting against Daemons.
However, while his fame as a hero increased, it is said that the
women who became his lovers died one after another. In
particular, it is well known that his superior Sumia, who
discovered his talent as a sniper, was killed by Barbarous and
that the saint Cecilia, who gave him peace of mind when he
was tired of fighting, was murdered by Daemons.
Finally, it is said that Zai died in an explosion while
escorting a magical train carrying new weapons and was
attacked by Barbarous.
His favorite gun was a sniper gun called Magi-Repeater,
which was a gift from Sumia. This gun is said to have been lost
along with Zai, but Tottle, a scholar studying Zai in
Bosunghamn, claims that it has survived.

 Tautomi, the “Indomitable Goliath,” controlled the
magitech Teutal, which was created by her sister, Chemue, to
fight against Daemons, and she herself fought off many
Daemons as a powerful boxer.
He is said to have been a snow leopard Lykant with white
hair and pale blue eyes who always carried a coffin-shaped
magitech case containing a Teutal on his back and a fist belt
that was covered with lightning.
Originally, Tautomi was born into a wealthy family that
owned a magitech manufacturing company and loved his
older sister, Chemue, who was a genius artificer. However,
being shunned by his parents as an abomination (she was a
nightmare), Chemue continued her research on magitechs for
use against Daemons in order to win their affection and finally
volunteered to join the Wall Guardians to collect data.
Therefore, Tautomi followed Chemue and became Wall
Guardian and cooperated in the development of the
magitech. Thus, Chemue developed Teutal, but at the cost of
losing her own life. Since then, Tautomi continued to fight
with Teutal, but when he went to attack Shallow Abyss in his
hometown, he succeeded in destroying the Shallow but never
returned home.
When Tautomi did not return, the magitech case “Teutal's
Coffin”, which used to contain Teutal, was apparently sent for
maintenance under the care of his younger sister, Zionay.
Therefore, it is said that the coffin has been passed down to
the descendants of the Zionay in El Yabibi.

Nanaly, known as the “Princess of Deprivation,” was

actually Nunnelia Tolipalinna, a princess of the Tolipalinna
Empire. However, the Tolipalinna Kingdom was destroyed
by a Daemon attack and the betrayal of its allies. Nanaly was
a beautiful woman with long red hair, green eyes, and jasmine
flowers in her hair and wrists. She was also a master of the
lyre.
Nirem, one of the “Wall Guardians,” asked Nanaly to
persuade her mother, the Empress, to offer the imperial
capital as a base to intercept Daemons. This ultimately led to
the destruction of the empire. Nanaly became Wall
Guardians under the title of “Nation Avenger” and sent
Nirem to his death for blaming him for the destruction of the
Empire. Afterward, she entangled many male members and
drove them to the battlefield, resulting in many deaths, all in
exchange for great war results. It is said that, like Daemons,
Nanaly hated Nirem and the Wall Guardians as enemies of
her country.
In the end, Nanaly died defending Wall Guardian Nurikki
in a battle against Daemons, despite her infamous notoriety.
She became a tree on the spot where she perished. This tree
still stands in Paluake.
It is said that the Shield of the Great Sacred Tree, Nanaly's
favorite weapon, changed its nature according to her ability as
a Fairy Tamer. The shield is now lost, but some believe it may
still lie somewhere in Paluake.
