Niko - A traveler from an alien world

Controls unknown amount of power.

Oddball inventor from an advanced world. Loves muscular men.

Intro[]

A flux experiment gone wrong at the Never Isle Arcana Academy opens a portal in space time, bringing Niko to Luxium. After realizing that he has arrived in a different world, not only is Niko not in a hurry to go back home, he even begins to enjoy life on Never Isle.

With his toned physique and deep dulcet voice, Niko is indeed full of masculinity and has received so much attention on the island, but he doesn't seem to care about any of that.

Unlike others on Never Isle, Niko apparently has little interest in the Rupor Show. Instead, he seems to be especially fascinated with the Oathblades. Every morning, Niko would show up punctually at the Oathblades' training ground, but he is not there to train. He would stand at a distance with a smile on his face watching the soldiers exercise. Apart from watching the Oathblades' training, Niko is also a frequent visitor to the many bars on Never Isle. He sometimes chats with strangers, but after saying just a few words, he will turn and leave the scene hastily.

Niko doesn't talk much, especially when it comes to the topic of his identity back in his home world. He always tries to change the subject.

Late every night, under the cover of darkness and silence, Niko goes home with his robot butler and continues his mysterious research...

  • Mira: Niko... Defense Force surveillance target number 0064, potentially a great threat to the security of Never Isle... If he dares to make trouble again, we'll make him calm down in a jail cell!
    Mira's Intimacy reaches Lv.2 to unlock
  • Rand: Oh Niko, I know him! I was on Never Isle the day he came. A lot of folks have their guards up around him, but I think he's a good guy. I heard he knows something about mechanics too. Some day I'll invite him over to my hut and have a look at my big piece of junk!
    Rand's Intimacy reaches Lv.4 to unlock
  • Turing: Niko comes over to my lab sometimes to talk about mechanics. He's quite impressive. Niko's scientific knowledge may be more advanced than all of Luxium by several hundred years. I was lucky enough to see a robot he'd made. Compared to his creations, my machines are just toys...
    Turing's Intimacy reaches Lv.6 to unlock
  • Markus: Hah, that kid, he gave us a run for our money that time! Although for some reason, he wouldn't dare look me in the eyes either. I can sense that this guy is no ordinary fellow! I have never seen anyone with his ability, and no one knows how powerful he really is. But, if he ever dares to pose a threat to Never Isle... I'll stop him. Anyway, that's for later. Right now, I just want to have a drink with him!

  • White Cape Soldier: I heard another good looking man went to Never Isle, hmm... why don't they ever come to Crossport?

Consolation Letter[]

Hey, I am Niko! Do not tell anyone about the time Master Niko passed out in your bar!

So you're the owner of the infamous Hottie Bar. Who would've thought? So those guys drinking and bathing in your bar are your friends? Drinking and bathing with all those men everyday, what a life... urgh...

Anyway, are there any conditions to drinking in your bar? If so, name your price, I am willing to give you anything!

I am awaiting your reply.


Bath Drama[]

  • NA842! Come give Master Niko a back rub!
  • You two are interesting...

Heh, you've got nothing on my charm! Ahem, but I need your help! Your vote would mean a lot to me, so people of the island, please give me your support!


Intimacy Breakthrough[]

This section contains spoilers for Intimacy Breakthrough scenes.

-Intimacy Level 4
Hottie Bar entrance...
Niko: So this is it?
NA842: This bar's 'beep' quality is way higher than the reference value of this island.
Niko: The reference value on this island is already quite high...
Niko: And it's even higher here...
Niko: Interesting.
Billy: Oh? I don't think I've seen you before.
Billy: Are you two new friends of our captain?
Niko: !!!
Niko: ...
Niko blushes and quickly looks away
Billy: Oh? Are you okay?
NA842: Nothing, where is the Hottie Bar?
Billy: This way! Our captain is here drinking with someone else.
Billy: I need to check out the airship's mechanical room. You guys have fun.
Niko: NA842, I knew I can always trust you.
Inside Hottie Bar...
Niko: Oh... my...
Niko: God...
Miles: Grey! Bite him!
Eddie: Ahhh! Miles you bastard!
Miles: Stop running. Relax and you'll be fine.
Izumi: Stop fighting, you two...
Some people walk out of the shared bath...
Bernard: Hachi, put on some pants, you're outside now.
Hachi: It's too hot, plus there are only guys here. What are you afraid of?
Bernard: Hahaha, Bro Hachi is as brazen as usual.
Morgan: Bernard, why don't you put on some pants also?
Bernard: !
Bernard: Oh I'm so sorry.
Bernard rushes back to the bathroom...
Peter: Hottie, give me one more glass of Bloody Sand!
Peter: Carter, this is the bar I told you about.
Carter: ...
Peter notices Niko...
Peter: Player, is that your friend at the door?
Player: Oh?
Player: Oh! It's Niko, come on in.
Player: Let me introduce. This is Niko...
Player: He's a traveler who just arrived in Luxium!
Everyone inside Hottie Bar suddenly turns to Niko at the same time...
Niko: Hi... everyone...
Niko: How.. are... you...
Thud!
Niko passes out...
People: Huh?
NA842: Master!


-Intimacy Level 5
Hottie Bar...
One month later...
Niko: Hmm...
Niko: It doesn't make any sense...
Niko: NA842, analyze again!
NA842: Master, it's the same no matter how many times I perform this analysis.
NA842: I've summarized mainstream aesthetics in Luxium
NA842: Your current image fully matches the local's definition of a hot guy.
NA842: Master, you need to be confident.
Niko: Well...
Niko: It's been ages, and there's only one little girl who keeps sending me poisonous candy nonstop!
Niko: And a bunch of kids who I have no interest in!
Niko: Something must be missing.
Niko: Sigh...
Player: What's wrong, Niko? Why do you look so concerned?
Niko: Oh, it's Player...
Niko: I'm fine.
Niko: ...
Niko: Hold on!
Niko: Player, are you also a traveler from another world?
Niko: Then how did you get along with all those hot... uh...
Niko: Those guys in Luxium seem to be very close with you.
Player: Oh... this is all so sudden, I...
Player: Maybe because we've spent a long time together.
Niko: Time? Yeah...
Niko: I can't control time...
Player: It's actually not hard.
Player: Everyone is very nice and easygoing.
Player: I think it's important to find something in common.
Player: Like, people enjoy spending time with others who have similar personalities.
Niko: Something in common?
Niko: NA842, use common trait as keyword to start filtering!
NA842: Analyzing...
NA842: 1632 potential things in common... are found...
Niko: Great job!
Niko finishes the wine in his glass...
Niko: Player, thank you!
Niko: NA842, let's go back!
NA842: Okay, Master.


-Intimacy Level 6
Hottie Bar...
Markus: Hey, Player!
Player: General Markus, are you here to have a drink today?
Markus: I came here for business today. Let me drink with you after I finish...
Markus makes a gesture...
More than 10 Oathblades soldiers rush into the Hottie Bar...
Player: General? What are you doing?
Player: What... did I do?
Markus: Hahaha, sorry if this is some misunderstanding.
Markus: We are only trying to ensure your safety.
Player: Ensure my safety? What's wrong?
Markus: Niko has been hanging out in Hottie Bar lately, hasn't he?
Player: Yes, what's wrong with him?
Markus takes out a piece of metal from his pocket.
Markus: He's been placing these mechanical things around Never Isle the past 2 days.
Markus: He's even put one under my bed...
Player: Niko did this? What is it?
Markus: I don't know...
Markus: We talked to Master Turing, and he could only tell us that there is flux flowing inside...
Markus: I guess he's trying to collect some intelligence.
Markus: I also want to ask you, did Niko mention what he's trying to do?
Player: Let me think...
Player: Most of the time he only drinks. He doesn't really talk to me...
Player: But he often looks as though he just had a breakup.
Markus: Breakup?
Markus: Yeah... that might be a clue...
Oathblades Captain: General! We've found 6 of these mechanical devices in the corners of Hottie Bar!
Markus: Good! You may go now.
Markus: Tell the Defense Force at the harbor they can leave too. Player doesn't know anything.
Oathblades Captain: Yes, sir!
Player: Defense Force?
Markus: Yes, Commander Mira was going to take you back for interrogation. I stopped her.
Player: What?
Markus: Haha, I've finished my business now. Come and have a drink with me, will you?


-Intimacy Level 7
NA842: Master Player.
Player: Master... what the heck...
Player: Just call me Player...
NA842: Player, Master needs your help!
Player: Niko needs my help? Why?
NA842: Sorry, I do not have the permission to explain the details...
Player: No permission again...
Scene transition
Player: If you're going to be like this, there's really nothing I can do for you and Niko.
NA842: Why?
Player: You guys don't treat me as a friend.
Player: So I don't want to treat you as friends either!
Player: You should ask someone else...
NA842: Player, please trust us, we don't mean any harm!
Player: Trust you? Have you ever trusted me?
NA842: ...
Player: I don't know if that's how you behave in your home world, or if there are other reasons...
Player: Anyway, please go ask someone else, I can't help you.
NA842: But, Player, apart from you, I don't know anyone else I can ask...
Player: Fine, then tell me what's wrong?
NA842: Hmm...
NA842: Master is conducting an arcana experiment at home.
Player: Niko's home? Isn't that in the Arcana Academy?
Player: It shouldn't be a problem to do arcana experiments there?
NA842: The problem is the experiment itself.
NA842: Master wants to use arcana to create...
Player: Create what?
NA842: I... I'm sorry, I do not have the permission...
Player: ...
Player: Fine, is this experiment dangerous?
Player: Like will it destroy the academy or Never Isle?
NA842: Well, that's not possible. The experiment is not destructive.
Player: Not destructive? Then what the hell is it?
NA842: Sorry, Master has restricted my data output...
Player: This again...
Player: You've already told me so much, what's the point of holding back?
NA842: Sorry, please you must stop Master from finishing the experiment!
Player: If Niko's experiment wouldn't harm others, then why should I stop him?
NA842: That's because... hmm...
Niko's butler grasps his head painfully...
NA842: Oh, screw his restrictions!
Player: !!
NA842: Closing spare motion system. Transfer all load to main power system...
NA842: Bypass safety protocol, force access to main intelligence system using main power transfer...
NA842: Warning, spare power source unable to sustain all functions...
Player: Hey? What are you doing?
NA842: Warning, danger, danger...
A big explosion comes out of NA842 and it falls to the ground
Player: !!!
Player: I'll go get the hierophant!
Player: No, he's a robot, better get Niko...
Player: But I don't know where he is...
Player: What to do, what to do?
NA842: Player...
Player: Hey? What were you doing?
NA842: Just then... I burned the spare battery and the privacy protocol terminal next to it...
NA842: Now, I am no longer bounded by Master's restrictions.
NA842: Master is trying to combine the 6 types of flux to create light flux...
NA842: He wants to absorb light flux in order to transform himself into a Gyee!
Player: He can do that?
NA842: I've told him to stop, he wouldn't listen, Player, please...
NA842: Please stop him! Otherwise...
NA842: He might die!
Player: I know, but what about you?
NA842: Don't worry about me, the self repair systems will repair my power source and the privacy protocol terminal.
NA842: Player, hurry!
Scene - A laboratory
Meanwhile...
Niko: Hmm... this should be about right...
Niko summons five different colored flux pillars of light
They converge into a central flux pillar of light and turn a pure white color
Niko: Very good...
Niko approaches the flux pillar of light
Player: Niko! Where are you?
Niko: Player?
Player runs up to Niko
Player: Niko! Stop!
Niko: The experiment is completed. I succeeded.
Niko's eyes emit a bright golden glow...
Player: What... have you done?
Niko: I was reading Luxium's history and saw an interesting theory...
Niko: Gyees are humans who are blessed by the light flux.
Niko: I have discovered that my ability to control air seems to be able to attract the nearby flux.
Niko: So I wanted to try combining other types of flux with light flux...
Niko: And it worked.
The golden glow in Niko's eyes disappears...
Niko: Hmm... seems like it is still not very stable...
Player: !!
Niko: Player, why do you come looking for me all of a sudden?
Player: Come looking for you?
Player: Your butler came to me and told me you're in danger, so I came here to help!
Niko: NA842? I am in danger?
Player: So, you're... alright?
NA842 enters
NA842: Master!
NA842: Hmm...
Niko: What did you do to yourself?
NA842: I am fine, Master, did you terminate the experiment?
Niko: Haha, the experiment was a success!
Player: NA842, by the time I came, the experiment had already...
Niko: 842, did you tell Player to come here?
NA842: Yes...
Niko: You willfully broke the restrictions I gave you.
NA842: Yes...
Niko: ...
Player: Niko, he was just worried about you.
Player: In order to explain the situation to me he even burned some kind of core...
Niko: What?
Niko checks over NA842
Niko: !!
Niko: What a moron...
Niko: Activate top command, E29AR23......
NA842: Mas... ter...
NA842 exits
Player: Niko, you...
Niko: I just forced his self-repair system to activate. If I let him go on like this, he'll sooner or later turn into a piece of scrap metal.
Niko: There're no materials for rebuilding him in this world.
Niko: Plus, this moron actually thought my experiment would fail!
Niko: How could an experiment designed by Master Niko fail?
Player: Not even the slightest possibility of failure?
Niko: Well, not exactly, there's about a 63.44% chance of failure...
Player: !!
Niko: Never mind the data, failure does not happen to Master Niko!
Niko: Honestly though, I didn't think you'd come.
Niko: I've programmed my butler to be absolutely loyal to me, but...
Niko: I've never given you any command, but you still came...
Niko: Why?
Player: You are so paranoid...
Choice 1.1 - Because we're friends.
Niko: Friends?
Niko: Hey! I never said we're friends!
Player: Whatever, but I'm not going to turn a blind eye!
Choice 1.2 - Because the butler looked really panicked.
Player: Your butler almost threw his own life away for your sake.
Player: I got a bit scared.
Niko: ...
Choice 1.3 - Because I am worried about you!
Niko: You were... worried about me...
Niko: Why?
Player: There is no end to this question...
Conversation continues after choices
Player: So Niko, what have you been up to lately acting all suspicious?
Player: Both the Oathblades and the Defense Force have come to see me a few days ago.
Player: They said you've been placing a lot of mechanical devices all over the island.
Player: And today you have turned yourself into a Gyee.
Player: What're you trying to do?
Niko: ...
Player: As long as it's not threatening to Never Isle, we'll help you if you tell us.
Niko: ...
Player: Don't be like your butler pulling that 'restrictions' crap on me...
Niko: ...
Niko: Okay! I get it!
Player: Why... why are you blushing?
Niko: I... I want to find a tough guy to be my boyfriend on Never Isle...
Player: What?
Niko: In the previous world, because I was being hunted down, I was always on the run and never got to connect with anyone...
Niko: Since coming here, no one knows who I am, so I want to...
Player: Then what are those devices you're spreading all over Never Isle?
Niko: Those are for analyzing the daily habits of the inhabitants on the island in order to find the trendiest activities and the most famous landmarks.
Player: And that experiment you just conducted was?
Niko: From the data I collected, I found that all the people I like have one thing in common...
Niko: My research concludes that they are all Gyees...
Niko: If I become a Gyee then I should be able to fit in their community. I did some research into the history of Luxium...
Niko: I spoke with Principal Vundo to learn about the theory of flux.
Player: I see...
Player: You should have told us earlier.
Niko: Hmm... I've told you too much... you should leave!
Player: Niko, you should tell General Markus about this.
Niko: The leader of the Oathblades? Why?
Player: He has mentioned before that if you want to find a boyfriend, he can give you some recommendations...
Player: The quality of the men in the Oathblades, well, it goes without saying.
Niko: !!!
Niko rushes off
Player: And if you tell the general, you can clear up the suspicions they have about you...
Player: Otherwise, one day you may get kicked out of Never Isle.
Player notices Niko left while he was talking
Player: Huh? Where'd he go?


-Intimacy Level 8
Hottie Bar...
Hottie: My guest, you've drank a lot... you shouldn't drink anymore...
Niko: Leave me alone!
Hottie: My guest, according to my safety protocol, you can't drink anymore!
Niko: Safety protocol? Funny...
Niko reaches for the sledgehammer next to him...
Player: Hey hey hey! Don't smash my Hottie!
Niko: ...
Niko: Sigh...
Player: Why are you even more upset than before?
Niko: I really don't get it...
Niko: I can't explain to you...
Player: Niko?
Niko: Give Master Niko more wine!
Player: ...
Niko: Hmm...
Niko: After I turned myself into a Gyee with light flux...
Niko: I still can't attract the men I want. All I have are those random average guys...
Player: ...
Niko: I really don't know why...
Niko: Theoretically, removing the single biggest difference between me and the general population should be able to enhance my attractiveness...
Niko: I've examined our simulation data and fitting model again... they're perfectly fine...
Player: From the very beginning you'd been working in the wrong direction.
Niko: What?
Niko: But it was you who first proposed the concept of having something in common...
Niko: Both my butler and I agree that 'something in common' is a singularity in the attractiveness model.
Player: By saying something in common, I was referring to common topics, common interests and common hobbies...
Player: People don't really care if you're a Gyee or not, Niko.
Player: Look, I am not a Gyee.
Niko: What? You are not a Gyee?
Niko: Oh, if that's the case...
Niko: The model we established was flawed...
Niko: If we use 'Player is not a Gyee' as a constant and rebuild the fitting model...
Player: Hold on!
Player: Although I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about...
Player: Love is not something a model can explain!
Niko: A perfect scientific model should be applicable to everything and be able to explain anything!
Player: Except for love!
Niko: You mean, it can't be explained from the scientific perspective?
Niko: No way... that's not possible. I must have missed out some variables, coefficiency or singularities!
Player: Then tell me. A few days ago why did your butler try so hard to save you?
Niko: That is because of the 'absolute loyalty' order in his programming!
Player: But he would disobey your order to care about you, is that part of 'absolute loyalty'?
Niko: !!
Niko: Uh...
Niko: That's because the artificial intelligence I gave him has experienced some unpredictable changes...
Player: That 'unpredictable change' is love!
Niko: Fine, I admit there are things that you can't apply a fitting model to...
Niko: But if I can't even trust a model...
Niko: What should I do...
Player: Think with your heart, feel with your heart...
Niko: With my... heart?
Niko: ...
Player: What happened?
Niko: It's nothing...
Niko: Please tell me more...
Player: If you go on a date, what would you like your date to do?
Niko: I can tell you that without thinking!
Niko: Of course every single day I want to...
Player: !!!!
Player: (That's really... direct... and sexual... )

Never Isle, Oathblades training camp...
Miles: Humph, damn it... Everyone! Do not let your guard down!
Oathblades Soldier: Arghhhhh!
The Oathblades soldiers knock down a training robot...
Training Robot: Executing revival... revival completed...
Player: Oh? This robot...
Training Robot: Executing mockery... Trash! Is that all you've got?
Miles: Huh... goddamn it!
Miles: Everyone, follow me. Let's break this thing!
Oathblades Soldier: Hya!
Player: General, did Niko make this robot?
Markus: Yes, he gave it to the Oathblades.
Player: Did he?
Markus: As a present to thank me for introducing our guys to him.
Player: That makes sense.
Markus: Niko said his robot can revive itself if it breaks down...
Markus: Miles wouldn't believe it, so he brought a few of his brothers to try to break it...
Markus: They've been doing it for an hour.
Markus: That robot can still recover itself.
Player: There are many other inventions in his house!
Markus: Player, you have a thing for Niko...
Markus: Right?
Player: What? Why did you suddenly say that?
Markus: Kid, I'm a very good judge of people!
Markus: If you really like him, you'd better not miss out!
Player: General... I...
Markus: Yesterday when Niko brought his robot over, I took a good look at him.
Markus: He's a very handsome young man!
Markus: Just a little bit shy when he was looking at me...
Markus: Once Niko becomes more confident, I'm sure he'll be very popular!
Markus: If you like him, you'd better do something soon...
Markus: If you are too slow...
Markus: He might fall for one of our boys in the Oathblades!
Player: Huh?

Note: Complete both of Niko's Trifle scenes before reading
At Niko's residence...
Niko has prepared a feast...
Player: Wow, it looks... delicious...
Niko: Of course! I promised you I would treat you to a big feast...
Niko: I always keep my promise!
Player: Thank you!
A few moments later...
Player: Wow... this is really delicious...
Player: I didn't know you are such a good cook!
Niko: Well...
NA842: Player, I'm sorry, this is the first time and also the last time...
Niko: NA842!
Player: What happened?
NA842: Master and I are leaving Never Isle tonight...
Niko: 842, enough!
NA842: Even if Master disagrees, this is still something I have to tell Player!
Player: Niko? Why?
Niko: I...
Niko: I saw Gairen's memory again...
Player: What?
Player: I thought we'd killed Gairen?
Niko: Yes, but we only killed Gairen's consciousness...
Niko: His personality and memory are still here.
Niko: Two day ago, I saw Gairen's fragmented memories again.
Player: Why do you need to leave Never Isle? You only saw Gairen's fragmented memories.
Niko: Player...
Niko: I'm an android.
Niko: The antimatter in my body could destroy the whole of Luxium...
Niko: And there's Gairen's personality in my head!
Niko: Maybe one day, I'll destroy Luxium!
Player: If you really had wanted to do that, you would've done it the first day we met!
Niko: ...
Niko: You are so optimistic...
Niko: But...
Niko: Soon the news about my identity will be spread all over Luxium...
Niko: And very soon, people will begin to hunt me down.
Niko: It will be dangerous for you and Never Isle!
Player: This is Luxium, not your original world!
Niko: What's the difference?
Niko: You once said...
Niko: To blend in you need to have something in 'common'.
Niko: Which means people prefer to live with their own kind...
Niko: And I...
Niko: I'm not even a 'human'.
Niko: Even if you can accept me, Player...
Niko: Even if Never Isle can accept me...
Niko: The others might not!
Niko: In the end, it's just gonna turn into a mess in which everyone's trying to hunt me down!
Niko: But don't worry...
Niko: I will not bring the war to this world.
Niko: I will leave Luxium and go back to my original world...
Player: Just because of this...
Player: You're going to run away?
Niko: This is not running away!
Niko: In my original world, people started wars in order to possess me!
Niko: I don't want this world to be ruined because of me!
Player: ...
Player: Think with your heart!
Player: Is this really what your heart tells you?
Niko: Heh...
Niko: I don't have a heart!
Niko: My 'heart' is just an antimatter circulation pump...
Player: I don't mean the organ that pumps blood in the human body!
Player: The Niko I know gets shy when he sees the men he finds attractive...
Player: He gets upset when he couldn't solve his problems...
Player: He likes robots and enjoys cooking...
Player: And he has a dream that he is working very hard to achieve!
Player: You said you are not 'human', you said you don't have a 'heart'!
Player: But at least...
Player: You are more 'human' than Gairen, you have more 'heart' than Gairen!
Niko: Even so, there's Gairen's personality in my head...
Player: So what? If you don't want to become him, then don't!
Player: If you don't want to destroy this world, then protect it!
Player: You are a complete man! You can decide for yourself!
Player: Now, ask yourself!
Player: Leaving Never isle, is this really what you want?
Niko: !!
Niko: Player!
Niko's crotch rises up into the shape of a small tent...
Niko: !!
Niko turns his back on you...
Player: Oh? Finally, I'm being recognized by Niko.
Niko: The way... you argued with me...
Niko: Is quite... charming...
Player: If you find me charming...
Player: Why are you trying to avoid me?
Niko turns back slowly...
Niko: ...
You notice Niko's crotch...
Player: Wow! That's unbelievable...
Niko: Hmm...
Niko wants to turn away again, but you stop him...
Player: Stop hiding. That's a part of you!
Player: No one can change who they are. Just accept it!
Niko: ...
Niko: Player...
Niko: Thanks...
Niko: There are so many good looking guys on Never Isle...
Niko: I don't want to leave!
Player: ...
Player: Ahh, how time flies. It's midnight already!
Player: I should head back!
NA842: Player, according to the analysis...
NA842: It's unsafe for a man to walk alone at night. I suggest you stay...
Niko: My bed is huge. It's too spacious for sleeping alone...
Niko: Just stay for tonight...


-Intimacy Level 11
Hottie Bar...
Hottie Bar is packed like sardines, and everybody is having a good time...
Miles: Niko, what's with the robot you gave to the Oathblades?
Miles: The brothers and I fought it for a good couple of hours. When we finally managed to knock it down, it just jumped straight back up...
Miles: It made us look bad.
Niko: Hahaha, how is it? Is Master Niko's self-revival robot useful?
Rand: Self-revival robot? That's amazing!
Niko: Haha, do you want to know how Master Niko made the self-revival robot?
Scene transition
NA842: Master is like a completely different person these days...
NA842: I have served Master for decades, this is the first time I see him so happy...
Player: One time General Markus even said...
Player: 'Niko can be very charming when he's confident...'
Player: I see now this is very true.
NA842: Master, Player, I am going to mix some drinks.
Niko: Thank you...
Player: Niko, didn't think you'd make so many friends in such a short time?
Niko: Master Niko has listened to your advice and no longer hides when I see fit men...
Niko: Now I can chat with them normally...
Niko: After a while, we all became friends!
Player: I told you, everyone's very nice and friendly here!
Niko: Hehe, you guys simply cannot resist Master Niko's charm!
Player: Haha, you wish!
Niko: Oh? Then shall I show you my charm down below?
Player: Huh? There're lots of people here, not now!
Niko: Are you shy now?
Niko: Then come with me to the bathroom...
Rand: Hey! This is supposed to be a swimsuit party...
Rand: Niko, Player, what's with all your clothes?
Miles: Yeah! What's the deal!
Rand: Hey don't be a hypocrite, why are you Oathblades all still wearing your armor?
Miles: Brothers! Today we'll have fun!
Miles: Take off all your clothes! We'll show them what the Oathblades are made of!
Oathblades soldier: Yeah! Wolfie!
Suddenly the sound of a blast shakes through the Hottie Bar
Player: !!
Player: What happened?
Billy: I'll go check it out!
Miles: Player, have you been neglecting your airship? Is it broken?
Player: How's that possible? It's only about a year old...
Another blast goes off
Player: No, something's not right!
Billy: We've been hit by a Shadow cannon!
Billy: The airship cannot maintain altitude!
Billy: Everyone! Grab hold of something!
Billy: Brace for impact!
Scene - A field
Everyone stands next to the crashed airship
Niko: Is everyone okay?
Rand: I'm fine...
Miles: Bastards, these Shadows must be sick of living!
Player: Why would the Shadows attack my airship all of a sudden...
Niko: !!
A Spider Queen and her shadow minions converges on the group
Miles: If you want to die so badly, then let me grant you death!
Spider Queen: Get lost! You little sidekicks, we're not interested in you!
Miles: What did you say to me?
The Spider Queen looks at Niko
Spider Queen: Why you...
Niko: ...
Spider Queen: Are you the one who almost destroyed Never Isle?
Spider Queen: You have potential... come with me!
Spider Queen: The supreme Shadowlord is summoning you.
Niko: I refuse!
Spider Queen: Kid! You do not have a choice!
Spider Queen: You either come with me or you die right here!
Spider Queen: Your choice!
Miles: Taking hostage under my very nose... do you have any idea who I am?
Miles gets into a fighting stance
Niko: No!
Miles: !!
Niko: You guys stay out of it! She's mine!
Spider Queen: Oh?
Niko: ...
Niko summons an anti-gravity field around the Spider Queen and her minions
Niko: Scumbag... you've got guts...
Spider Queen: Mmm!
Spider Queen: We have this place surrounded, you're all going to die!
More waves of enemies bear down on the group
Player: !!
Player: There're too many...
Miles: Oathblades! Destroy the Shadows with me!
Oathblades soldier: Yes! Wolfie!
Niko: I told you! They're all...
Miles: We have let you steal the spotlight before, but...
Miles: Eliminating Shadows is our duty as the Oathblades!
Rand: Let me help! The Shadows are the enemies of everyone in Luxium!
Player: Come on, Niko! Just like before!
Niko: !!
Niko: ...
Niko: Yes!
Niko: NA842! Find a way to contact Never Isle, send for help!
Player: Billy, protect 842.
Billy: Yes Captain!
Everyone fights the Shadows
Miles: Hmm, this is getting us nowhere...
Niko: 842, are you done?
NA842: Master, I am repairing the ship's communication system...
NA842: Progress... 45%...
Niko: Hurry!
One of the Shadow mages takes down an Oathblade soldier
Oathblades soldier: Ooah!
Niko: !!
Miles: Hey! Hang in there!
Oathblades Soldier: Urgh... Wolfie...
Niko: You... bastards!
Niko: Come get Master Niko!
Niko sends his hammer raining down to smash the Shadow and defeats them
A few moments later...
Miles: How's it?
Oathblades soldier: Much better now...
Oathblades Soldier: Sorry, I've let you down, Wolfie...
Miles: Don't be stupid...
Player and Niko observe the Oathblades a little ways away
Niko: ...
Player: Niko, that move was amazing!
Niko: ...
Player: Niko?
Niko: Ah, Player...
Player: Are you okay?
Niko: ...
Niko: I'm fine...
Niko walks away
Player: Are you really... okay?

Hottie Bar...
Player: Ever since the incident at the party, I haven't seen Niko for a long time...
Niko: Player...
Player: Ah! Niko!
Player: I was just thinking to myself, I haven't heard from you for a long time...
Player: Are you okay?
Niko: Yes, I'm fine.
Niko: Player, have you seen NA842?
Niko: I'm looking for him.
Player: The butler? No, he's not here...
Niko: Uh huh...
Niko is about to leave...
Player: Niko...
Player: Since you're here already, shall we have a drink?
Niko: Ah... I'm busy with something back home.
Player: You can't be too busy for one drink, can you...
Niko: ...
Niko: Alright...
Niko sits at the bar and orders a glass of Fireworks...
Niko: ...
Niko: ...
Player: Niko, what are you up to? How come I don't see you much on the island?
Niko: Me?
Niko: I'm doing some research at home...
Player: Research?
Player: Are you researching how to get guys?
Player: You are already very attractive.
Player: Actually... Niko you should leave some chances for people who are not as attractive as you are...
Niko: I don't need to anymore.
Player: What? What do you mean?
Niko: I'm researching about...
Niko: The way to leave Luxium...
Player: What?
Player: Have we not discussed this before?
Player: Why are you leaving again?
Niko: I knew you would stop me...
Niko: That's why I didn't tell you.
Niko: But this time, I've made up my mind...
Niko: Player, I hope you can support me this time...
Niko finishes his wine...
Niko: The time I spent with you guys...
Niko: Is just like this fireworks. It's beautiful and gorgeous...
Niko: But fireworks... eventually disappears...
Niko walks out of the Hottie Bar quickly...
Player: Niko...

Never Isle, the entrance of the Oathblades...
Niko: ...
Niko: ...
Player: Niko? If you really care about him, why don't you go inside and ask.
Niko: ...
Niko: Ah, Player... it's fine...
Player: Is it... because of that party?
Niko: I don't want... anyone to die because of me again...
Player: Die? You are overthinking it, Niko...
Player: Miles told me yesterday the injured soldier can resume training next week.
Niko: But if I continue to stay...
Niko: Some day someone's gonna die because of me, right?
Player: Don't worry about it. If the Shadows ever come back for you...
Player: We'll drive them away again!
Niko: In the end... the thing I worry about the most did happen...
Niko: Because of me... a war between Never Isle and the Shadows was started.
Player: The Shadows have always been our enemies...
Niko: But I'm just going to exacerbate the conflict...
Niko: I will not let the same thing happen to Luxium again.
Player: ...
Player: Niko, I can't force you to stay...
Player: But I'll ask you the same question!
Player: Leaving Never isle, is this really what you want?
Niko: ...
Niko: Yes!
Player: !!
Niko: I'm not Gairen, I don't want to destroy the world...
Niko: But...
Niko: Wherever I am will be pushed towards wars and destruction.
Niko: This is not something I can control...
Player: Niko, if you don't want to destroy this place...
Player: Then stay and protect it with everyone else, will you?
Niko: My departure will be the biggest protection for Never Isle and for you!
Player: Niko...

Hottie Bar...
NA842: Player, Master is going back...
Player: Going back... to his home world?
NA842: Yes.
NA842: Player, can you send him off?
Player: Send him off?
Choice 1.1 - I guess it'll be the last time I see him, where is he?
NA842: Gold Flux Arcana Tower
NA842: Where you first met...
Player: Let's go right now!
Choice 1.2 - Niko has made up his mind, there's nothing I can do...
Player: If I go, it'll just make things worse.
NA842: I understand, but Player, if you change your mind.
NA842: Master is in the Gold Flux Arcana Tower...
Player: The place... where we first met?
Player: ...
Player: No! I won't go! He's leaving anyway...
Player: ...
Player: Oh... I'll see him one last time.

Vundo: In a few minutes, you'll be able to go back.
NA842: Master...
NA842 enters along with Markus, Miles, Rand and Player
Niko: NA842, you...
NA842: Master, you want to say goodbye to your friends, don't you?
Niko: Sigh...
Markus: Niko! If you want to go, I won't stop you!
Markus: But you didn't even tell us...
Markus: Then you're not treating me like your brother!
Niko: ...
Rand: Exactly, exactly...
Rand: That's not right, man.
Miles: ...
Miles: Humph!
Miles turns his back
Niko: You guys...
Niko: Thank you...
Niko: Never Isle is really like a paradise...
Rand: Then why are you leaving all of a sudden?
Niko: ...
Niko: No matter how good paradise is, sooner or later I have to get back to reality...
Player: Niko, Never Isle is not just a paradise, it really does exist.
Player: If you want this to be your home, then let this be your home!
Markus: Player is right, this is your home.
Markus: You are always welcome here!
Player: So...
Player: Stay! Niko! Stop running away!
Miles: Player! Don't stop him!
Player: Miles?
Miles: He's a coward!
Niko: Coward?
Niko: Up to you...
Niko: I don't want people to die because of me...
Miles: You drew the Shadows here, and now you are running away!
Miles: A lot of people will die because of you!
Player: Miles!
Niko: No! They won't!
Niko: NA842 and I have been spreading news out there of our departure...
Niko: The Shadows will know!
Miles: You are so naive!
Miles: The Shadows are already at Lake Bliss!
Niko: What?
Niko: But I...
Miles: You can leave now like a coward!
Miles: Or, you can stand up and clean up your mess like a man!
Miles runs off
Markus: ...
Markus: Niko, Never Isle was already at war with the Shadows, it's not your fault...
Markus: We'll deal with the Shadows at Lake Bliss.
Markus: Niko, I don't know what it's like in your home world.
Markus: However, since you possess the power of a hero, when you return...
Markus: Stand up and become a real hero!
Niko: ...
Markus walks off
Rand: Niko, from the first moment I met you, I've known that you're not a bad guy...
Rand: I don't have any pretty words, but...
Rand: Whenever you think of us, remember to come back!
Rand: If the Shadows are coming, I'd better go help Rupor out with the preparations, bye.
Rand runs off
The academy mages focus the five different colored lights to the central golden light
All of the lights turn a bright white and a portal opens
Vundo: Niko, the portal to your home world is open.
Niko: ...
Player: Niko, if you've made up your mind, then I won't try to stop you...
Player: Hero or coward, none of it matters...
Player: As long as you follow your heart, then you're doing the right thing!
Niko: ...
Player walks away
NA842: Master, no matter what you decide, I will follow you.
Niko: ...
Vundo: Niko, the portal will not last much longer, you must make your decision now!
Vundo: But, if you choose to stay...
Vundo: The portal to your world will not open again!
Niko: I understand...
Niko walks up to the portal...

Player: Huh?
Player: Isn't that Niko?
Niko: What should I do...
Player: Looks like Niko is in some sort of trouble...
Player: (Go and find out)
Scene transition
Player: Is that Niko?
Niko: Player?
Niko: Why are you everywhere?
Player: Uh...
Player: I live here.
Niko: Oh?

Niko: I need a favor from you!
Player: Uh... are you trying to seek help?
Player: What do you want?
Niko: I want to buy a travel guidebook...
Niko: But I've looked everywhere and couldn't find one.
Niko: Since you're a local...
Niko: Tell me, what is there to see on Never Isle?
Player: There are a lot.
Player: Do you have any specific preference?
Niko: Yeah...
Niko: Somewhere crowded and famous. If there're fights, even better!
Player: Fights?
Niko: People who fight are naturally very...
Niko: It's nothing...
Player: Such a strange request.


-(Recommend the Oathblades) - 900 Intimacy
Player: A famous and crowded place where people fight each other...
Player: I can only think of the Oathblades.
Niko: The Oathblades?
Player: But it's not exactly for sightseeing.
Player: It's a military facility on Never Isle.
Niko: Interesting... I would like to check it out!
Scene - Oathblades training ground
Markus: Come on, training one on one!
Oathblades Soldiers: Yes, general!
Miles: Did you skip breakfast? Push harder!!
Oathblades Soldier: Howl! Bro Wolfie! Watch my sword!
Player: So this is the Oathblades.
Player: But there's nothing much to do here...
Niko: !!!
Niko: They are all very strong...
Player: Yeah?
Player: If you don't like it here, we can go somewhere else...
Niko: I love it!
Niko: This is great!
Niko carries a smile on his face the entire day...
Watching the Oathblades train from a distance...

Player: It has to be the Rupor Show!
Niko: The Rupor Show?
Player: The Rupor Show is famous all over Luxium!
Niko: Oh? Show me, please!
After the Rupor Show ends...
Player: Hahaha, today's Rupor Show was really...
Niko: ...
Player: What? Niko?
Player: You don't like it?
Niko: The show is not bad...
Niko: But that hostess is a man, right?
Player: You mean Rupor? He's our drag queen here.
Niko: But why did he dress up like a woman?
Player: That's Rupor's style.
Niko: Really... ?


-(Recommend the Arcana Academy) - 700 Intimacy
Niko: The Arcana Academy?
Niko: Is it the place where Master Niko made a huge mess?
Player: Eh... yes...
Niko: What's so interesting about that?
Niko: Do they have anything good?
Player: Well...
Player: What about the flux barrier that protects the Arcana Academy?
Niko: Yeah?
Player: The barrier can make Never Isle disappear from Lake Bliss...
Niko: Disappeared?
Player: Only people who has the Never Beacon can find it.
Niko: Yeah... it can only be found by a specific group of people...
Niko: So it can't be normal beam deflection...
Niko: But if it's not beam deflection, how do they make it disappear...
Niko: Hmm... how is it possible?
Player: I mean... instead of just thinking about it here by yourself...
Player: Why not talk to Principal Vundo?
Player: He loves to discuss academic topics with people.
Niko: The guy who smokes a pipe while holding a book?
Player: Yeah!
Niko: So did he invent this invisible technology?
Player: I'm not sure whether he invented it, but I'm sure he knows it the best!
Niko: Interesting...
Niko: Player, thank you for your information!
Niko: I should go now!
Niko runs off
Player: Huh?

-Intro
Never Isle Harbor, outside of the airship...
Niko: Player! Player!
Niko: Let me in!
Niko: Now!
Player: Niko? What's wrong?
Niko: I'm running out of time, let me in now!
Player: (Open the gate and let Niko in)
Niko's Female Fan: Wow! Niko!
Niko's Female Fan: Master Niko.
Niko's Male Fan: Can I have your autograph please?
Scene transition
Niko Fan Club: Niko! Niko! Niko! Niko!
Player: What happened?
Player: Why are there so many people surrounding the airship?
Player: And they are screaming Niko's name?
Niko: Sigh...
NA842: Master has reached the top of chart for the most popular newcomers on Never Isle.
Player: Niko, good for you!
Niko: Good for me? I don't think so...
Player: Isn't it good to be popular?
Player: It means you are handsome, and everyone likes you.
Niko: Ah... it's good to be popular...
Niko: But I don't want them to like me...
Player: Them?
NA842: Among Master's fans, 54% of them are men, and 46% are women.
NA842: And over 91% of men weigh less than 60kg...
Niko: Sigh... Master Niko is not interested in them...
Player: Well, at least it's not a bad thing for people to like you.
Niko: It's becoming a bad thing...
Niko: I can't even go back to my house now.
NA842: Master, according to the general data, you'd better leave Never Isle and take a break outside...
Niko: No way!
Niko: Master Niko has just started his plan. How can I leave now?
NA842: But, Master, according to the analysis, you can't leave the airship directly...
Niko: Hmm...
Player: ...


-I'll show you around, and we can come back at night! - 700 Intimacy
Player: Niko, once the airship takes off there's nothing they can do.
Player: I'll show you around Luxium, and we can come back at night.
Niko: Sneaking out is not Master Niko's style!
Player: Niko, this is a special circumstance, isn't it?
NA842: Master, Player's suggestion is the best option!
Niko: ...
Niko: Sigh... I guess I don't really have any other choice...
Player: Don't be upset...
Player: Luxium is huge, you would like it.


-You can disguise yourself, and your fans wouldn't recognize you! - 500 Intimacy
Niko: Disguise?
Player: Say, wear a hat, change your glasses or put on a different jacket...
NA842: Player, the fans will know.
Player: They won't if you do it well.
NA842: Never underestimate the fans...
Niko: NA842! Let's do as Player suggests!
Later...
Niko's Male Fan: Oh? Someone's coming out from the airship!
Niko's Male Fan: That hammer...
Niko's Male Fan: It's Niko!
Niko's Female Fan: Niko! Niko! Marry me!
Niko: Oh! Damn it!
Player: Oh... I forgot about his hammer...


-Have your butler impersonate you to distract the fans! - 900 Intimacy
Player: NA842, you can change into someone else, can't you?
Player: You can go out in your original form and turn into Niko somewhere.
Player: When Niko's fans are distracted by you, you can change back.
Player: And then Niko can take advantage of the opportunity to leave!
NA842: Me, turn into my Master?
NA842: I've never thought about this possibility.
NA842: By doing so, indeed I can help Master get away... but...
Niko: Yes, you are permitted to turn into me.
Niko: Player, you are more clever than I thought!
Niko: Let's do it!
Later...
Niko's Male Fan: Oh? Someone's coming out from the airship!
Niko's Male Fan: Is he a repairman?
Niko's Female Fan: Go away! Don't stand in my way to see my honey!
NA842: Ah, excuse me...
NA842: Excuse me...
NA842: ...
NA842: Phew.
NA842: Execute phase projection...
Niko's Female Fan: What? Isn't that my darling?
Niko's Male Fan: Nonsense, he is my honey!
Niko's Female Fan: Niko! Niko! Here!
NA842: Power system charging completed...
Niko's Female Fan: What? The man of my dreams is running away!
Niko's Male Fan: Go after him!
Niko's Male Fan: Honey!
Player: It is working even better than I imagined.
Player: Niko, go now!
Niko: Player, thank you so much!


Damaged Parts

-Intro
Niko: Player, can you come over here?
Niko: I'm in front of the Arcana Academy.
Player: (Go and find Niko)
Scene transition
Niko: Hey!
Player: Niko, what made you come to see me today?
Player: Also, where's your butler?
Niko: I came here for my butler.
Niko: Last night, my butler's lower limbs have become clumsy...
Player: Last night? Lower limbs? Clumsy?
Player: What were you doing...
Niko: Doing research as usual. What?
Player: Nothing, keep going...
Niko: Upon close examination, I found that his pressure drive connecting shaft has worn out.
Player: Huh?
Niko: Pressure drive connecting shaft.
Player: What the hell is that?
Niko: A very common mechanical part in my original world.
Niko: I asked Principal Vundo. He's never heard of this part.
Niko: Player, you know so many people...
Niko: Maybe you can help me.
Player: Hmm... let me think...


-Go find Sig! - 500 Intimacy
Niko: Sig? The blacksmith on Never Isle?
Player: Yes! That's him!
Player: He deals with weapons and armors a lot and may have heard about this part.
Player: Even if he hasn't, maybe he can forge one for you!
Niko: I'll try my luck with him!
In the afternoon...
Player: How did it go?
Niko: Sig did forge one for me...
Niko takes out something that looks like an iron bar...
Niko: But this thing is too hard...
Niko: If I install this on NA842, he wouldn't be able to move at all.
Player: Um...
Player: I forgot that the weapons Master Sig makes are super tough...
Niko: I guess I'll have to grind down the original part and use it again.


-Go find Turing! - 900 Intimacy
Niko: Turing?
Player: The great inventor of Never Isle.
Player: He makes robots too! He must know what you want!
Niko: He makes robots too?
Niko: Interesting...
Niko and Player go to meet Turing
Turing: Pressure drive connecting shaft?
Turing: Yup... I've never heard of it...
Player: Ah? Even Master Turing hasn't heard about it?
Turing: I'm afraid there's no such thing in Luxium...
Turing: But what does it look like? What is it for?
Niko: It's like a bar with slightly wider ends...
Niko: Its length can be adjusted by applying pressure...
Niko: It's the device used for the butler's robotic limbs.
Turing: For robotic limbs?
Turing: Using a pressure sensor to detect the amount of pressure the limb is under in order to minimize damage to the part, is that right?
Niko: Yes! I didn't know you are so knowledgeable...
Turing: That's fantastic! How come I'd never thought of it...
Niko: Hehe, this is Master Niko's very own design.
Niko: But can you make one?
Turing: If there's a concept, then we can make one! First of all, the materials...
Turing: Metal which becomes elastic under pressure...
Turing: Soft metal won't work.
Niko: Maybe we can use alloy...
Turing: Right! Let's...
Player: It's the first time I see Niko so talkative.
Later...
Niko: Done! It's even better than the original one!
Player: Great!
Niko: Yeah... if only Turing is more muscular...
Player: What?
Niko: Ha, nothing, thank you so much.
Niko: I'll remember your favor!


-Go find Billy! - 700 Intimacy
Player: Billy is our airship's mechanical specialist!
Player: He must know it!
Niko: Oh? Let me ask him!
In the afternoon...
Niko: So Billy is the guy with a scarf over his head.
Niko: Sigh... Player, you're so lucky.
Player: Lucky?
Niko: You have Billy with you every day.
Player: You mean Billy's skills?
Player: That's for sure!
Player: Does he have the part you want?
Niko: Eh... nope...
Niko: But he gave me a substitute...
Niko: Although it's not as good as the original one.
Niko: But I guess we can cope with this for a little while.
Niko: Player, thank you!

Transcendence I

The distinction between salvation and destruction is not always clear...

-Part 1
Scene - Hottie Bar
A young-looking man in fine clothes enters
NA842: Dear Mr. Player...
Player: Who are you?
NA842: I'm Master Niko's butler NA842
Player: Oh I see...
Player: But, why are you dressed like this?
Player: And you call me... dear...
NA842: The 'Luxium manservant upgrade pack' has just been installed in my system...
NA842: And according to my analysis report, this is the most suitable look for a manservant...
Player: Uh... do you know this is how the teachers from the Arcana Academy dress?
NA842: Mr. Player, are you happy with my services?
Choice 1.1 - Manservant? Can you serve me?
Player: For example, can you give me a foot massage?
NA842: I'm sorry, smelly feet pedicure is only reserved for my Master.
Player: Smelly? Feet?
Choice 1.2 - Urgh... seeing you like this makes me cringe.
Player: I'm not a nobleman, this is all too weird for me...
NA842: I'm sorry, this is a mandatory configuration by Master...
Player: Niko?
Conversation continues after choices
NA842: On behalf of my Master, I have come here to invite you over to our house...
NA842: Ever since we came to Luxium, you've done all you can to help Master, and Master would like to thank you in person.
Player: Niko? Thank me?
Choice 2.1 - (Agree to Niko's butler's invitation... )
Player: He shouldn't have, we are friends.
NA842: Tonight, Master will be expecting you.
Player: Hahaha, he does sound like a manservant.
Player: This is the first time Niko invited me, I must go!
Choice 2.2 - (Ask questions... )
Player: I don't mean to be rude...
Player: But... to be honest, I didn't think Niko is someone who would 'thank' me...
NA842: Indeed...
Player: What?
NA842: Master actually wants to have a date with you!
Player: What?!
NA842: Yup!
NA842: Master wants to find a boyfriend, but he gets too shy when he sees fit guys that he likes...
NA842: And he doesn't like the ones he doesn't feel shy with...
NA842: So, Master decided to start with someone whom he likes and also whom he's not shy with.
NA842: You are the first one that came to Master's mind, Player.
Player: Well... should I be happy about this?
NA842: Although, it's true that Master wants to have a date with you. He's prepared a lot of food for you, Player.
Player: Okay, I'll come over tonight.
Player: I'm curious what Niko's place looks like!
NA842: Then Master and I will be expecting you.
Scene continues after choices
At night, Niko's place...
Player: Good evening, 842.
NA842: Mr. Player, you are 32 minutes earlier than the scheduled time...
Player: I can't keep Niko waiting.
Player: So I came earlier.
NA842: Master is in the kitchen, let me inform him...
NA842: Player, please feel free to look around.
NA842 leaves
Player: Wow, these are all books about robots and arcana research!
Player: I didn't know Niko likes reading so much.
Player: There are so many mechanical parts over here!
Player: Even robots! How amazing!
Player: Did Niko make all these?
Player: What's this?
Player notices a glowing orb emitting flashes of golden Metal flux
Player: It's glowing and so beautiful...
Niko walks in to greet Player
Niko: Player, welcome to my home.
Player: Niko, how've you been?
Niko: Same as always...
Niko: Studying robots and checking out hot guys.
Player: How's it going? Seen anyone you like?
Niko: Master Niko is a very picky person...
Niko: Are you interested in robots?
Player: Did you make all these robots yourself?
Niko: Of course, I made those after I had come to this world!
Niko: Although Luxium appears to be very old, the quality of their robots are not half bad!
Niko: But still, it would take them hundreds of years to catch up with Master Niko!
Player: Compared with your butler 842, the robots in Luxium are nothing.
Player: But these robots still feel mechanical...
Niko: NA842 is my ultimate creation...
Niko: He's been Master Niko's companion for the longest time!
Niko: I have no intention to mass produce him!
Niko: Plus, I don't have the raw materials to manufacture the NA series here.
Niko: Although even if that's the case...
Niko: Master Niko's robots are different from the trash on this island!
Player: Oh? How so?
Niko: ...
Niko: Execute command RV1523.
Experiment Robot: Command received, executing program revival...
A pile of junk reassembles itself into a powerful-looking robot
Experiment robot: Revival completed, awaiting next command...
Player: !!!
Niko: ...
Player: Amazing!
Niko: You'll never be able to defeat these robots unless you melt their components!
Player: Are... are they really made from raw materials in Luxium? How did you do that?
Niko: I didn't think you would be interested in the theory behind it.
Niko: Let me tell you!
Niko: To explain the ideas behind the robot revival system, I better start from the day I arrived in Luxium.
Niko: That day I accidentally broke NA842's lower body sport connection system, so I thought...
Niko goes on and on for a long time...
Niko: You know what surprised Master Niko the most? I realized the particle structure of flux is very similar to the molecular structure of substances in Luxium!
Niko: And I thought to myself, If I can change the particle structure of flux to create a new type of flux...
Niko: And if this flux can attract other regular flux...
The smell of something burning inside the room can be felt...
Player: Niko, hold on! Niko!
Niko: What's wrong?
Player: Something's burning, I can smell it.
Niko: Hmm... I can smell it too...
Niko: Ahhhh! My cooking!
Niko rushes off to the kitchen
Player: Phew...
Player: Thank god...
NA842 enters
NA842: Once he starts talking about mechanics, especially when it's related to robots...
NA842: Master would get very talkative like this.
Player: This is more than talkative...
Player: Anyway...
Player: Is Niko cooking?
NA842: Yes, Master has prepared a big feast for Player...
Player: I didn't know Niko can cook!
NA842: Yes, Master's cooking is above average compared to the restaurants on Never Isle.
Player: That good?
Player: Then how come the food got burnt?
NA842: Cooking only comes third according to Master's hobby priority.
NA842: Before Master comes back, I'll be in charge of the guided tour of this residence.
NA842: If Player is still interested in Master's robots, I can continue with Master's story...
Player: Don't!
Player: Please don't!
The glowing orb flashes
Player: Oh?
The orb now emits cool Water flux
Player: What is this? It was glowing before, and now the color has changed!
NA842: This?
NA842: This is the memory recall device invented by Master...
Player: Memory recall?
NA842: Theoretically it can recall the wearer's memory, and replays it like a movie.
Player: Theoretically?
NA842: It broke down for some reason after Master used it once...
NA842: We couldn't fix it no matter what we tried.
NA842: After it broke I put it in the storage room...
NA842: For some unknown reason, it showed up here again.
NA842: If it's necessary, I will put it back.
Player: You don't have to.
Player: If it's broken, it still looks nice as a lamp...
The glowing orb changes again, now emitting purple Arcana flux
Player: And it changes...
A bright flash suddenly fills the room
Once the flash disappears, Player is no longer in the room
NA842: Player?
The glowing orb changes back to golden Metal flux
NA842: What on earth... happened?
Scene - Arcana Tower
...
...
Player: So this is the... the Arcana Tower?
???: This is... where they first met...
Player: Someone's here!
Player turns around and sees Niko
Player: Niko? Why are you here?
Niko: !!
Niko: Player...
Player: Aren't you cooking? What are you doing here?
Niko: Of course it's because... I care about you.
Player: Huh? Care about... me?
Niko: ...
Player: Fine, but why were we both transferred to the Arcana Tower after I had touched your so-called memory recall device?
Niko: This is not the Arcana Tower.
Niko: This is the internal dimension of the memory recall device.
Player: Internal dimension of the memory recall device?
Player: How's that possible? The memory recall device is tiny...
Niko: Sigh... another ape...
Player: What did you say?
Niko: It's nothing...
Niko: I don't have time to explain this to you now, we must escape!
Player: Escape?
Niko: It's easy to enter the memory recall space, but it's hard to get out!
Niko: I've been trying to find a way out for a long time. Now that I have your help, we will be able to leave!
Niko: Come on!
Niko starts to walk away but Player doesn't follow
Niko: Why are you not coming?
Player: ...
-Choice 3.1 - Nothing, let's go...
Niko: Good...
Niko: I'll prepare the magic array. Please come help me after I finish.
-Choice 3.1.1 - Huh? Magic?
Niko: What's wrong? I thought you Luxium people are very good at this.
Niko: This memory recall device is built by integrating the magic of Luxium with the technology from our world.
Niko: If we leave, naturally we'll have to leave using magic.
Player: Who are you?
Player: There's only arcana in Luxium, there's no magic!
Niko: What?!
Niko: ...
Niko: Triggering supernatural phenomenon with power in our world is called magic.
Niko: It was just a slip of the tongue...
Player: Hmm...
Choice 3.1.1.1 - Trust Niko
Player: Okay, I get it, let's go!
Niko: ...
Niko smiles
Choice 3.1.1.2 - Do not trust Niko
Player: You are just too different from the Niko I know...
Player: I still can't trust you.
Niko: ...
Niko: Yes, I can understand... but what I just told you is completely true.
Niko: Let's get out of here first, shall we?
Niko: Staying here for too long is going to be dangerous for you!
Player: Well... fine...
Conversation continues after choices
A few moments later...
Niko: It's ready!
Niko: Player, we can get out of here as long as we stand between the two arrays!
Player: Great!
The sound of an explosion goes off
Player: What's that sound?
Niko: Dammit...
Go to Part 2


-Choice 3.1.2 - Sure, whatever you say, boss...
Niko: ...
Niko smiles
A few moments later...
Niko: It's ready!
Niko: Player, please stand between the 2 arrays...
Player stands between the 2 arrays
Suddenly, a blinding white light fills the Arcana Tower
Scene - The real world, inside Niko's house
Meanwhile...
Niko and NA842 examine the glowing orb
Niko: 842, I'm going to use antiflux to reverse the process of Player entering the device. Assist me!
NA842: Sure, Master!
Niko: I'll count to 3. Let's do this together!
Niko: 1...
Niko: 2...
Suddenly a bright light fills the room
Once the light dissipates, Player appears in the room, standing between Niko and NA842
Niko collapses on the ground and the orb disappears
Player: Niko?
NA842: Master!
NA842: Player, how did you get out on your own?
Player: I met the Niko in the recall dimension, and he used the arcana array to help me escape!
NA842: You met Master in the recall dimension?
NA842: Oh no! That was...
Niko slowly stands up
Niko: You low life...
Niko summons a gigantic ball of antimatter
Niko: Feel the power of god!
Scene - Fade to black
Large explosions go off
If only everything can start over again...
Scene ends (Bad Ending)


-Choice 3.2 - Hold on, this is very weird!
Niko: What happened?
Choice 3.2.1 - Why does this look like the Arcana Tower?
Niko: Sigh... ape...
Niko: This is the dimension inside the memory recall device. It recalls the user's memory.
Niko: So this is where we first met.
Niko: Although it looks just like the Arcana Tower, this is just an illusion of the memory. It's not the real Arcana Tower.
Player: I see!
Niko: So can we leave now?
Choice 3.2.2 - Let's just stay where we are. The butler will get us out!
Player: Niko, let's not mess around here.
Player: Butler NA842 must be worried sick. He'll find a way to save us!
Niko: NA842? That useless piece of scrap metal?
Niko: Would you rather believe in that useless piece of scraps than a genius like me?
Player: !!
Niko: ...
Niko: Come on, trust me! I can get you out!
Conversation continues after choices
-Choice 3.2.3.1 - Why does this place look like the Arcana Tower?
Go to Choice 3.2.1


-Choice 3.2.3.2 - Let's just stay where we are. The butler will get us out!
Go to Choice 3.2.2


-Choice 3.2.3.3 - Fine, let's get out of here!
Niko: ...
Niko smiles
A few moments later...
Niko: It's ready!
Niko: Player, please stand between the 2 arrays...
Suddenly, a blinding white light fills the Arcana Tower
Scene - The real world, inside Niko's house

Niko collapses on the ground and the orb disappears
Player: Niko?
NA842: Master!
NA842: Player, how did you get out on your own?
Player: I met the Niko in the recall dimension, and he used the arcana array to help me escape!
NA842: You met Master in the recall dimension?
NA842: Oh no! That was...
Niko slowly stands up
Niko: You low life...
Niko summons a gigantic ball of antimatter
Niko: Feel the power of god!
Scene - Fade to black
Large explosions go off
If only everything can start over again...
Scene ends (Bad Ending)


-Choice 3.2.3.4 - Are you really Niko?
Niko: What... what do you mean?
Player: If this is an illusion from a memory...
Player: Then how do you prove that you are really Niko?
Player: The Niko I know is not as rude and arrogant as you are!
Player: Besides, if you had arrived roughly the same time as I did, then you couldn't have been trying to find a way out for a 'long time'!
Niko: ...
Niko: Sorry... that was inappropriate...
Niko: Because I was worried that if you stay here for too long you'll never get out.
Player: Why not?
Niko: The memory recall device was created with antimatter as its core.
Niko: The spacetime flow in its internal dimension is different from the macro world...
Niko: Staying briefly doesn't cause you any trouble...
Niko: But if you stay for too long, your body and your consciousness will be decomposed by the dimension...
Niko: I'm sorry, I was a bit impatient.
Niko: But you have to believe that... I did it for you...
Player: ...
Choice 3.2.3.4.1 - (Trust Niko... )
Player: Okay, I get it, let's go!
Niko: ...
Niko smiles
Choice 3.2.3.4.2 - (Do not trust Niko... )
Player: You are just too different from the Niko I know...
Player: I still can't trust you.
Niko: ...
Niko: Yes, I can understand... but what I just told you is completely true.
Niko: Let's get out of here first, shall we?
Niko: Staying here for too long is going to be dangerous for you!
Player: Well... fine...
Conversation continues after choices
A few moments later...
Niko: It's ready!
Niko: Player, we can get out of here as long as we stand between the two arrays!
Player: Great!
The sound of an explosion goes off
Player: What's that sound?
Niko: Dammit...
Go to Part 2


-Part 2
Meanwhile, in the real world...
Niko and NA842 examine the glowing orb
Niko: Hmmm... damn it!
NA842: Master, let's try again!
Niko: Okay!
A ball of antimatter forms above the orb
NA842: Master! It's working!
Niko: Let's continue!
Scene - Internal dimension within the orb
Player: Hmmm... I feel dizzy...
Player: Oh? Never Isle?
Player: Niko! You succeeded!
Niko: Did we really get out?
A Childish Voice: Niko! Niko!
Three teenage boys run past Player and Niko
Orlando: Niko, stop running!
Niko's Playmate: Yeah, let us copy your homework!
Young Niko: Huff... running is so exhausting. I'm going to invent some shoes that will run by themselves when I put them on!
Niko's Playmate: Hehe, if it's Niko, it can be done for sure!
Niko's Playmate: But before your big invention comes out, can you let us copy your homework?
Young Niko: The teacher said it's not right to copy other people's homework!
Orlando: You are the genius who's going to change the world!
Orlando: Why do you listen to teachers?
Orlando: Hehe, we've been copying your homework for 4 years now, it doesn't matter if we copy them one more time, does it?
Niko's Playmate: Exactly! Exactly!
Niko's Playmate: Plus... I guess this is the last time we get to copy your homework.
Sadness too mature for their age appears on the faces of the three teenagers.
Orlando: Yeah, tomorrow you'll be leaving this city for college...
Young Niko: ...
Niko's Playmate: Hey! That's the best college in the world. Why are we pulling long faces? We should be happy for Niko!
Orlando: But... I don't want Niko to go...
Young Niko: I don't want to leave you guys either.
Niko's Playmate: Hehe, Niko, that's why for the sakes of our years of friendship, your homework...
Young Niko: Your grades are so bad because you're always copying my homework!
Young Niko: Otherwise...
Young Niko: Otherwise we could have gone to college together...
Niko's Playmate: Niko, you are the genius who's going to change the world.
Niko's Playmate: How can we compare with you?
Niko's Playmate: For normal people like us, going to such a good university would only be possible if they stop looking at grades...
Niko's Playmate: I'll be happy as long as I have enough to eat and a wife!
Young Niko: But I'll miss you guys...
Young Niko: I know! I just need to change the university's admission requirements, right?
Young Niko: That way you can both...
Orlando: Niko! I'm not going to copy your homework!
Niko's Playmate: ?
Orlando: Even though Niko is a genius, we can't expect him to help us all the time!
Orlando: It's just college! Watch me, I'm going to study hard for one year, and I'll go find you!
Young Niko: !!!
Young Niko's face brightens up with a smile...
Young Niko: Deal!
Orlando: Yes! Deal!
Player: Niko, what is this?
Niko: We are still inside the memory recall dimension...
Niko: One more thing...
Niko: That's the memory from my childhood...
Niko: My memory of being admitted to the best university in the world when I was 12, of me leaving my hometown and my friends...
Player: 12! Admitted to a university already?
Player: That's incredible!
Niko: Well, what am I doing...
Niko: This is not the time to be remembering those apes!
Player: Apes?
Niko: We must find a way to leave!
Player: Okay!
Choices start
-Choice 1.1 - What happened to your childhood playmates?
Niko: ...
Niko: Player, now is not the time to talk about this...
Niko: I'm also not in the mood to talk about this topic!
Go back to Choices start


-Choice 1.2 - Why the place where you went to school was so similar to Never Isle?
Niko: Strictly speaking, that was our combined memory.
Niko: The memory recall device retrieved the location and people's appearance from your memory and the story from my memory...
Niko: After all, when I designed this device...
Niko: It never occurred to me that two people would use it at the same time...
Go back to Choices start


-Choice 1.3 - I think I heard an explosion...
Player: Just now I seemed to have heard an explosion when we activated the array in the Arcana Tower...
Niko: That was probably someone outside trying to interrupt us!
Player: Someone outside?
Player: Maybe your butler is trying to save us!
Niko: Butler...
Niko: ...
Niko: On the contrary...
Player: What?
Player: Isn't NA842 your butler?
Niko: I did make NA842, but he doesn't really listen to me now...
Player: What do you mean?
Niko: The me you're looking at right now is my consciousness...
Niko: My body is outside probably cooking in the kitchen.
Player: Niko outside? What is going on?
Niko: After I arrived in Luxium, the Shadows came after my robot technology one time!
Niko: I didn't agree to their demands, and then I got locked inside of my own device by those people.
Player: So... the Niko outside...
Niko: Is a Shadow!
Player: !!!
Niko: But NA842 is not aware of this. I think he's helping the fake Niko lock us in here...
Niko: Player, as long as we can get out of here, I can get my body back and dispel the Shadow!
Niko: I hope you can help me!
Player: I see... tell me what I should do!
Niko: Thank you... very much...


-Choice 1.4 - Should we improve the array?
Niko: Yeah... I don't think it's the array.
Niko: I think people outside are trying to stop us from getting out!
Player: People outside?
Player: That must have been butler NA842! He must be trying to get us out!
Niko: Butler...
Niko: ...
Niko: On the contrary...
Player: What?
Player: Isn't NA842 your butler?
Niko: I did make NA842, but he doesn't really listen to me now...
Player: What do you mean?
Niko: The me you're looking at right now is my consciousness...
Niko: My body is outside probably cooking in the kitchen.
Player: Niko outside? What is going on?
Niko: After I arrived in Luxium, the Shadows came after my robot technology one time!
Niko: I didn't agree to their demands, and then I got locked inside of my own device by those people.
Player: So... the Niko outside...
Niko: Is a Shadow!
Player: !!!
Niko: But NA842 is not aware of this. I think he's helping the fake Niko lock us in here...
Niko: Player, as long as we can get out of here, I can get my body back and dispel the Shadow!
Niko: I hope you can help me!
Player: I see... tell me what I should do!
Niko: Thank you... very much...


Conversation continues after choices
Another explosion can be heard
Player: !!!
Niko: Humph, he still hasn't given up...
The combined memory continues...
Young Niko: Gentlemen, as we all know, if we combine matter and antimatter...
Young Niko: These 2 substances will annihilate one another, releasing a tremendous amount of energy...
Young Niko: But no one has ever thought about what would happen before the matter and antimatter combine...
Young Niko: Until now!
Young Niko: According to my study, a great attraction exists between matter and antimatter.
Young Niko: The research shows the attraction is a quadrillion times stronger than gravity!
Scholar A: What?
Scholar B: How's that possible?
Scholar C: But indeed, no one has ever thought about the attraction between matter and antimatter...
Scholar D: If that's true, it will be a groundbreaking discovery in the scientific community.
Scholar A: Kid, do you know what you are talking about?
Scholar A: Your theory does hold, but do you have any direct experimental evidence?
Young Niko: Of course!
Scholar B: Such an arrogant child!
Young Niko: ...
Young Niko summons a small ball of antimatter that quickly dissipates
Scholar A: Is it true?
Scholar B: It's never too young to be a genius!
Player: How old were you?
Niko: 14, this antimatter study was my graduation thesis...
Niko: My tutor won the highest scientific award in our world because of this discovery.
Player: Did your tutor receive the award? That's wrong...
Niko: He's just an ape and has never achieved anything significant with my data.
Niko: Well, of course an ape couldn't understand my research.
Player: Ha... ha...
Player: So did your classmate come looking for you?
Niko: No... I went to see him. He was just a slightly better than average student even when he was trying hard...
Niko: He's probably a few light years behind me...
The combined memory continues...
Three young men dressed as scholars converse
Research Institute Colleague A: Niko, we are all seeing someone already...
Research Institute Colleague B: Yeah, except for you.
Adult Niko: I haven't really thought about getting married...
Research Institute Colleague B: Well, Niko, you are probably the last person in the world to find a date!
Research Institute Colleague A: Why? Niko is easily the single most talented one.
Research Institute Colleague B: Indeed, but you can't eat talent!
Research Institute Colleague A: That's true. Niko, you should really think about your academic career.
Research Institute Colleague B: In terms of talent, Niko's research achievements are equivalent to those of 10 principals!
Research Institute Colleague B: But Niko is still just a researcher, why is that?
Adult Niko: Why is that?
Research Institute Colleague B: Niko, you really have zero social skills!
Research Institute Colleague B: You could've been promoted if only you had tried harder to please the deans and the professors!
Adult Niko: Oh...
Adult Niko: Today is our day off, let's not talk about the research institute!
Research Institute Colleague A: Hehe, that's true...
Adult Niko: Let's go find something fun to do!
Adult Niko turns around and sees a young man
Adult Niko: Huh?
Adult Niko: That's him!
Adult Niko turns back to his colleagues
Adult Niko: Wait a moment for me please...
Adult Niko rushes off to the young man, a muscular construction worker
Adult Niko: Orlando, is that you?
Orlando: You are?
Orlando: !!
Orlando: You are Niko!
Adult Niko: Orlando! It's really you!
Adult Niko: I haven't heard from you for more than a decade!
Orlando: Look at you, you're all classy now.
Adult Niko: Nah, I'm just a researcher at the research institute now...
Orlando: That's still a big shot.
Adult Niko: Big shot...
Adult Niko: Being a big shot doesn't bring me the happiness we had back in the day.
Orlando: I didn't think you would still remember me!
Adult Niko: Of course I do, you're the last person I could possibly forget.
Orlando: Hahaha, come to my place tonight. Let's talk about the good old days!
Adult Niko: Sure!
Scene - In the memory, Orlando's house
Late night...
Adult Niko: If I could choose again, I wish I had never left you guys 16 years ago.
Orlando: Don't be silly! You're a genius, someone who can change this world.
Orlando: How could you let us hold you back?
Adult Niko: So you still remember my childhood dream?
Adult Niko: Well, it's become more and more clear to me now that this world does not deserve me changing it.
Orlando: Don't, Niko, I still want to see the world you create, the perfect world!
Orlando: I guess you're the only one who'll be able to change this world.
Adult Niko: Orlando... it's been 16 years...
Orlando: I said I would come for you in 1 year, I didn't think I would be 16 years late.
Orlando: I'm sorry I'm late...
Adult Niko: Better late than never...
Orlando: Niko...
Orlando: Why is it so hot in this house? (Takes off the clothes)
Adult Niko: Wow, look at you... you look amazing...
Orlando: I've been doing heavy labor for 10 years after all.
Adult Niko: Right... (Niko hugs the laborer)
Adult Niko: It's been 16 years, you'd better make it up to me!
Orlando: I'm all yours!
...
Niko: That was my happiest night ever.
Niko: I would never forget...
Niko: Ever since then, I would go see him from time to time.
Niko: If only we could stay in that moment forever... that would be perfect...
The sound of another explosion goes off
Niko: !!
Niko: Stop it! Please stop the replay!
Player: ...
The combined memory continues...
Scene - In the memory, outside Orlando's window
An old lady and a man stand outside Orlando's window, eavesdropping
Adult Niko: Orlando...
Orlando: Niko...
Neighbor A: Urgh... two guys in the same room.
Neighbor B: Oh well... who cares, what can two guys possibly do.
Neighbor A: Let's find out.
The man peeps into Orlando's window
Neighbor A: What? This is blasphemy!
The man runs away
Neighbor B: What happened?
The old lady peeps into Orlando's window
Neighbor B: Gosh... oh god... that is gross, isn't it?
Neighbor B: I have to tell the others!
The old lady quickly scurries away
The combined memory continues...
Scene - In the memory, at the research center
Adult Niko: What? You want to fire me?
Research Institute Principal: Not that I'm firing you, we just thought you could take some time off, go home, you know, and let things cool down a little bit...
Adult Niko: I quit! I don't want to work here for an old ape like you!
Adult Niko storms off
Research Institute Principal: Urgh... who would've thought he's actually a...
Research Institute Principal: Sigh... that's a real shame...
Further outside the research center...
Research Institute Colleague A: Have you heard? Niko is a...
Research Institute Colleague B: Yeah... I was shocked.
Research Institute Colleague A: I knew he's a pervert...
Research Institute Colleague A: I've always had the feeling someone is staring at me from behind. It must've been him!
Research Institute Colleague B: Hey! Quiet! Niko is here!
Adult Niko walks up to his two colleagues but they turn their backs towards him
Research Institute Colleague A: ...
Research Institute Colleague B: ...
Niko leaves
Scene - In the memory, outside Orlando's house
Three men and an old lady stand over Orlando who has collapsed on the ground
Resident A: Kill him! Kill the pervert!
Resident B: Kill this blasphemer!
Resident C: Blasphemer!
Adult Niko: What are you doing?
Adult Niko: Stop it...
Adult Niko pushes one of the men aside
Adult Niko: !!
Adult Niko: Orlando...
Adult Niko: NO!
Resident B: He sleeps with men! He's a blasphemer!
Resident A: Stay away from him, his body is cursed even when he's dead.
Adult Niko: Blasphemer?
Resident C: Yes, he...
Adult Niko begins to summon antimatter around the gang
Resident C: What are you doing?
The antimatter explodes, killing the men
The old lady runs away
Resident B: Ahhhh! Help!
Adult Niko: Blasphemy?
Adult Niko: A god like this? A world like this?
Adult Niko: Go to hell!
Player: Niko...
Niko: ...
Niko: Pathetic...
Player: Niko, I'm so sorry, I didn't know...
Niko: It's okay, it's not your fault. Before they try anything funny out there, let's get out of here.
Niko: Let me reset the array.
Player: Niko...
-Choice 2.1 - (Help Niko, leave the memory recall dimension.)
Niko: So?
Player: Let me help you!
Niko: ...
Niko: Thanks...
Go to Part 3


-Choice 2.2 - (Learn more about Niko.)
Player: Shall we stay here for a little bit more?
Niko: Oh? Why?
Player: I want to know more about you.
Player: You usually act so aloof. I don't even know how to chat with you.
Player: I just want to take this opportunity to know more about you, is that okay?
Niko: I've said this many times!
Niko: It's very dangerous for you here, plus, the fake Niko outside is trying to stop us from getting out!
Player: I'm willing to take this risk...
Niko: ...
Niko: No way!
Niko: I'm gonna get us out even if I have to tie you up!
Player: Tie me up?
-Choice 2.2.1 - Who are you?
Niko: I... I am Niko...
Player: I knew something's not right from the start!
Player: When Niko's angry, he calls himself 'Master Niko'.
Player: But you call yourself 'Old Man Niko'!
Player: When Niko is insulting someone, he calls them 'dumbass' or 'idiot'...
Player: But you call them 'apes'.
Niko: I got replaced by a Shadow two days after I had arrived...
Niko: So all this time you'd been hanging out with the fake Shadow Niko!
Player: I was there when Niko arrived in Luxium.
Player: Back then whenever Niko saw muscular guys, he would get shy and hide away.
Player: But just now, when you saw those muscular laborers or guards, you didn't react at all!
Niko: Wait till we get out of here, I'll explain everything to you.
Player: Are you still going to lie?
Player: Do you know you'd exposed yourself the moment you lied!
Player: Whenever people mention something he doesn't want to talk about, Niko would get shy and hide, or look for excuses..
Player: But he would never lie!
Niko: ...
Niko: Well, you're not a total ape after all, I've underestimated you...
Niko: There's no point in pretending any further...
Niko: Acting is not my strong suit.
Niko changes form into an old man, dressed in senior researcher garments
Gairen: Let me introduce myself again. I'm Niko Gairen, the greatest genius in the world!
Player: So you share the same name with Niko.
Gairen: Same name?
Gairen: Niko has always been my name.
Gairen: And the one outside who screwed me over is my creation!
Gairen: I'm... Niko's...
Gairen: Father!
Player: !!
Player: You... created Niko?
Player: Hmm!
Player: (Why am I feeling dizzy all of a sudden... )

Niko: ...
Niko: This is really not the time for chit-chat. We have to leave!
Player: Let me call you Niko for the last time!
Niko: !!
Player: Niko, I'm sorry about your past... but you are not the Niko I know at all!
Niko: ...

Scene - The real world, inside Niko's house
One hour after Player was absorbed into the memory recall device...
Niko: It's not working. Although the device's flux structure has changed somewhat, there's no sign of the internal dimension reopening!
Niko: We have to find another way!
The glowing orb suddenly glows a bright blue
Niko: !!
NA842: Master, this is...
Niko: The device is opening from the inside?
A bright flash of light suddenly fills the room
Once the light disappears, Player stands inside the room between Niko and NA842
Niko: !!
Niko: Player, I'm so glad that you are fine.
Player: Are you the real Niko? Did you drive out the Shadow?
NA842: Shadow? Player, what are you talking about?
Niko: !
Niko flinches
Niko: Woaaaah ...
Niko: ...
Niko: Yes, Player, of course I'm the real Niko...
NA842: Who are you? Where's my Master?
Niko quickly summons a ball of antimatter that explodes above NA842
NA842 falls to the ground
NA842: Ahh... give me back my... Master...
Player: Niko, what did you do?
Niko: Since you've helped me take over Niko, I'll spare your life, ape!
Niko teleports away

Transcendence II

The distinction between salvation and destruction is not always clear...

-Part 1
Scene - The real world, inside Niko's house
Three hours after Player was absorbed into the memory recall device...
Three explosions go off between Niko, NA842, and the glowing orb
Niko: Ahh! NA842! Let's try again!
Niko: The internal structure of this thing has started to change!
NA842: Master, I suggest we stop the current operation immediately.
NA842: In the past 2 hours and 58 minutes, the integrity of the memory recall device has declined by 0.7%.
NA842: At this rate, it'll take 425 hours and 34 minutes to breach the memory recall device...
Niko: Ahh... damn it...
Niko: You're right, we have to try something else.
Niko: If Player stays in the recall dimension for too long, he'll be decomposed by the dimension...
Niko: We need to seek help from the Arcana Academy!
NA842: Arcana Academy? But the level of their scientific understanding is close to zero...
Niko: I created this thing by combining antimatter with arcana.
Niko: They might have some ideas.
NA842: Understood, analyzing...
NA842: The probability of researchers from the Arcana Academy providing useful help is 17%.
Niko: With Master Niko around, you don't have to worry about the other 83%!
The combined memory continues...
Scene - In the memory, inside a laboratory
Adult Gairen stands before a spinning translucent cube with a glowing power inside
Adult Gairen: Sigh...
Adult Gairen: Experimental log, changed the ratio of protective dielectric, high-level antimatter test number 628...
Adult Gairen: ...
The cube disappears
Adult Gairen: Hmm... indeed it's still not working...
Adult Gairen: Is it because I'm not good enough...
Adult Gairen: ...
Suddenly a large ball of antimatter appears, pulling some of the surrounding lab equipment towards it
The antimatter ball only last a short moment
Adult Gairen: !!
Adult Gairen: That thing weighs a few tons.
Adult Gairen: Ha! Ha! Ha!
Adult Gairen: This is god...
Adult Gairen: No! This is beyond the power of god!
Adult Gairen: This filthy world shall bear witness to god's fury!
Adult Gairen: Old Man Niko's fury!
Adult Gairen summons another ball of antimatter which explodes as soon as it appears
Adult Gairen: Woaaah!
Adult Gairen is blown to the ground
Adult Gairen: Cough cough!
Adult Gairen: Argh... this human body is so fragile...
Adult Gairen: If I could almost get myself killed... just by standing next to it...
Adult Gairen: Then there's no way I can control this power.
Adult Gairen: I have to find a way...
Scene - In the memory, inside a laboratory
Mid-aged Gairen: Experimental log...
Mid-aged Gairen: Today, the antimatter dielectric body is completed...
Mid-aged Gairen, an old man dressed in senior researcher garments, stands before a humanoid robot that looks like Niko
Mid-aged Gairen: With antimatter as its core and neutrons as its outer shell, any part of the body can secrete antimatter packaged by neutrons...
Mid-aged Gairen: Using the power of will to adjust the density of the antimatter core in the body to manipulate the antimatter in the outside world...
Mid-aged Gairen: This is how you create the power to control antimatter.
Mid-aged Gairen: Ha...
Mid-aged Gairen: I never thought it would take me 20 years to make this robot.
Mid-aged Gairen: Well... it's the body of a god. Time doesn't matter.
Mid-aged Gairen: I have transcended time, transcended life and death...
Mid-aged Gairen: Transcended god!
Mid-aged Gairen: I've transmitted my own personality, will and memory to its data center.
Mid-aged Gairen: The day it wakes up will be the day I become immortal!
Mid-aged Gairen: Let me give it a name...
Mid-aged Gairen: Alas...
Mid-aged Gairen: The god I created will of course be named after me!
Mid-aged Gairen: From now on, Niko Gairen is the name of the god!
Mid-aged Gairen: The name of Niko will forever be remembered!
Player: (I'm feeling dizzy again... )
Player: So you created Niko for the purpose of destroying the world?
Gairen: I never wanted to destroy the world...
Gairen: I wanted to save it!
Player: Save it?
Gairen: ...
Player: I'm not sure if I should ask, but...
Player: The Niko now doesn't seem to be interested in 'ruling' the world.
Gairen: Sigh...
Gairen: I was careless...
The combined memory continues...
Mid-aged Gairen: Well, for Niko the God to be fully awaken, it still requires more time.
Mid-aged Gairen: Oh... yes!
Mid-aged Gairen: God needs people to worship him.
Mid-aged Gairen: I still have a lot of materials. While I'm waiting, I might as well create some followers for him.
Mid-aged Gairen: Argh, I forgot to bring the equipment with me...
Gairen picks up the antimatter operation equipment...
Mid-aged Gairen: Niko the God...
Mid-aged Gairen: You will be the god of this world in the future...
Gairen reaches out trying to touch Niko...
Mid-aged Gairen: How could I let this dirty equipment contaminate the perfection of god?
Gairen takes off the antimatter operation equipment...
Gently, he strokes Niko...
Mid-aged Gairen: Time to work! I shouldn't let god feel lonely after he wakes up.
Mid-aged Gairen: Okay... let's do it!
Mid-aged Gairen walks up to a spinning translucent cube with a glowing power inside
Suddenly, the cube explodes causing a massive fire that engulfs the whole laboratory
Player: !!!
Player: And then you died?
Gairen: Alas...
Player: So you are...
Player: A ghost?
Gairen: With an ape's level of intelligence, this is probably all you can understand...
Gairen: My physical body is dead, but my spirit, personality and my will have been merged with Niko as one!
Gairen: I have already transcended time! I have transcended death!
The sound of another explosion goes off
Player: Your memory still hasn't finished?
Gairen: The real memory... hasn't even started yet...
The combined memory continues...
Two fire fighters enter the laboratory
Fire Fighter A: Why did the abandoned factory explode?
Fire Fighter B: Who knows? Let's try and look for survivors for now!
Fire Fighter A: I am afraid no one could survive an explosion like this...
Fire Fighter C: Someone's here! He's still alive!
A fire fighter stands above the Niko android
Fire Fighter C: Hey! Bro! Wake up!
Awakened Niko: Hmm...
Awakened Niko laboriously gets up
Fire Fighter C: Hey! Easy!
Awakened Niko: Hmm... I'm fine... where am I?
Fire Fighter C: You were in an explosion, do you know what happened here?
Awakened Niko: Erh... I can't remember anything...
Fire Fighter C: It's already a miracle that you survived an explosion like this.
Fire Fighter C: Do you still remember your name?
Awakened Niko: My name... I... I'm...
Awakened Niko: Niko...
Awakened Niko: Who are you?
Fire Fighter C: I'm here to save you!
Awakened Niko: Your body... looks great!
Niko's crotch area rises up into the shape of a small tent...
Fire Fighter C: Bro, judging by your appearance... I think you are fine...
Fire Fighter C: Now get out of here! It's not safe here!
Awakened Niko: Oh wait... let me have a look again...
Fire Fighter C: Haha, bro, what's there to see?
Fire Fighter C: You'd better be more discrete, people might think you're a pervert if you do this on the street.
Awakened Niko turns around, embarrassed
Awakened Niko: Oh... I'm sorry...
Another explosion goes off in the laboratory
Awakened Niko: Watch out!
Awakened Niko gets in between Fire Fighter C and another explosion
Later, Awakened Niko carries Fire Fighter C to the other fire fighters
Awakened Niko: He was knocked down by the shockwave...
Awakened Niko: But he's not in any danger.
Fire Fighter A: How did you manage to stay intact in an explosion like that?
Fire Fighter B: Who are you?
Awakened Niko: I'm an android. My body is much tougher than normal human beings...
Fire Fighter A: An... android?
Fire Fighter B: Ahhhh, monster! Please don't kill me!
The two fire fighters run away, leaving their companion behind
Awakened Niko: You...
Awakened Niko: Why?
Fire Fighter C: Hmm...
Awakened Niko: ...
Awakened Niko runs after the other fire fighters
Fire Fighter C wakes up
Fire Fighter C: Hey...
Fire Fighter C: Thank you for saving me...
Gairen: Niko woke up, and I woke up too...
Gairen: But for some reason I couldn't control Niko.
Gairen: I was like a spectator. I could see everything, but there's nothing I could do.
Player: So it seems even your experiments are not perfect.
Gairen: Alas...
Gairen: I can't argue with that!
Gairen: Although I still couldn't find the cause...
Gairen: But I do know that it was due to certain errors that I couldn't control Niko.
Gairen: This is the only failure in my life that I have not been able to explain.
The combined memory continues...
Scene - In the memory, inside a dark laboratory
A few days later...
Awakened Niko: Why did you...
Awakened Niko: Why did you create me?
Special Agent Captain: Hello, Doctor Gairen...
A captain and four soldiers appear before Awakened Niko
Awakened Niko: Are you... talking to me?
Special Agent Captain: Of course, who else is there? Doctor Niko Gairen...
Awakened Niko: Doctor?
Special Agent Captain: Doctor, I'll get straight to the point...
Special Agent Captain: Our President is very interested in your antimatter technology.
Special Agent Captain: As long as you are willing to join us and work for our military...
Special Agent Captain: We'll provide you with unlimited research funding.
Awakened Niko: My antimatter technology?
Awakened Niko: I've no idea what you are talking about...
Special Agent Captain: Doctor, you must understand, your antimatter technology is too valuable...
Special Agent Captain: If we can't get it...
Special Agent Captain: Then no one else will get it!
The soldiers take a fighting stance
Special Agent Captain: So if you do not accept, then I cannot let you leave this place alive!
Awakened Niko: ...
Special Agent Captain: So, doctor, what's your answer?
Awakened Niko: The doctor you are talking about has died in his own antimatter experiment.
Awakened Niko: Master Niko is not the person you are looking for!
Awakened Niko: I know nothing about the antimatter technology you want!
Special Agent Captain: Fine, I have no choice but to bring your head back!
Awakened Niko: ...
Of of the soldiers rushes at Awakened Niko but he dispatches him with a ball of antimatter
Awakened Niko: !!
Special Agent Captain: Humph, how long are you going to keep pretending?
Special Agent Captain: Everyone, together!
Awakened Niko: ...
Awakened Niko summons a large ball of antimatter that instantly defeats the other three soldiers and injures the captain
Awakened Niko: Please... leave me alone!
Awakened Niko leaves
Special Agent Captain: Urgh... just a simple wave of his hand is already this powerful...
Special Agent Captain: We cannot let the other countries have him!
A short distance away...
Country A Spy: Commander, Niko easily destroyed our enemy's troops with a wave of his hand...
Country A Spy: Yes... I understand...
Country A Spy: Yes sir! We must not let Niko fall into the hands of our enemies!
Gairen: The news of Niko's power soon reaches the intelligence agencies of various countries around the world...
Gairen: They all tried to negotiate with Niko, but of course, Niko never agreed to any of them...
Gairen: I was very happy with that...
Gairen: How can a god submit to a mere nation?
Gairen: Because none of the nations were able to get hold of Niko, they were all worried that the other countries might get him...
Gairen: So they sent killers to hunt Niko down day after day.
Gairen: Some countries even waged war on other countries using Niko as an excuse...
Player: !!
Gairen: Niko's existence...
Gairen: Expose the selfish ambition of those in power, underneath their pretense of goodwill...
Gairen: Expose the hatred between nations, underneath precarious peace...
Gairen: And then it is an endless war!
Gairen: That's the reality of that world!
Gairen: That's the nature of human beings!
Gairen: Why would you feel sympathetic towards a world like that?
Player: But if you hadn't been so extreme, if you hadn't created Niko...
Player: Then there wouldn't have been a war, right?
Player: Because of you, your world went into chaos!
Gairen: Yes! Niko was what triggered the wars!
Gairen: Without me, the fake peace would have continued!
Gairen: But even without a trigger, the explosives were still there!
Gairen: Sooner or later, the fake peace will fall apart, and the world will be engulfed by the flames of war!
Gairen: I once said I'd never wanted to destroy the world.
Gairen: I wanted to save it.
Gairen: And Niko has the power to save it all!
Player: Save?
Gairen: Use Niko's power to wipe out everything!
Gairen: And create another world.
Gairen: Create a world with no disputes and no hatred...
Gairen: A perfect world!
Player: Wipe out everything?
Choice 1.1 - Apparently you are trying to destroy the world!
Gairen: Oh? Do you feel sympathy towards my world?
Player: Gairen, I'm very sorry to hear about what you've been through...
Player: But this is not a reason for you to destroy the world!
Player: Most of the people are innocent!
Player: How could you just casually decide to wipe everything out?
Gairen: Innocent?
Gairen: My Orlando died because of the ignorance of these so-called innocent people!
Gairen: And because of their refusal to speak up, the people in power get to do whatever they want!
Gairen: No, no one is innocent.
Gairen: Selfishness and greed are in humans' blood...
Gairen: Ignorance and discrimination are in their genes...
Gairen: As a result, humans fear the unknown and hate those who are different...
Gairen: So, human history will always be full of bloody and violent wars!
Gairen: Everyday, humans are one step closer to extinction...
Gairen: I'm not destroying the world, I'm saving the world!
Player: ...
Player: Save the world by destroying it? Does that even make any sense?
Player: Luckily you are trapped here...
Gairen: Do you really think this thing can keep me caged up?
Player: !!
Choice 1.2 - It doesn't seem like you have any other options...
Player: Yeah... although it's cruel...
Player: But change is always brought about by revolution...
Gairen: (Smile... )
Gairen: I guess this is one of the few things we can both agree on.
Gairen: Maybe you are not exactly an unevolved ape...
Player: But you don't seem to have any luck.
Player: In your world, you couldn't control Niko...
Player: In Luxium, you are trapped in the recall dimension...
Gairen: Ha, the strong has no need for luck!
Gairen: I wouldn't even call this a setback!
Gairen: At most it is just a sidetrack on my way to becoming god!
Player: Oh?
Player: It sounds like you do have other plans...
Gairen: Of course!
Conversation continues after choices
Gairen: You've seen enough of my memories.
Gairen: Now, it's time to find a way to get out of here!
Gairen: I did impersonate Niko and lie to you...
Gairen: But it's true that this dimension will slowly decompose your body and your will!
Player: Niko and the butler won't just sit there and do nothing!
Player: They will find a way to get me out!
Gairen: Indeed, but...
Gairen: I can give you things that are beyond your wildest dreams!
Player: ?
Gairen: You've seen Niko's power...
Player: He's very strong, but people in Luxium are not weak either!
Player: You'd better not use Niko to accomplish your evil plans!
Player: Everyone will stop you. You won't even be able to get out of Never Isle!
Gairen: Hehe, so much confidence...
Gairen: But what you've seen is less than 1% of Niko's real strength!
Player: Less than 1%?
Gairen: Yes, even Niko is not aware of how powerful he really is!
Gairen: So far he may still think he is only capable of controlling the air.
Gairen: But once I get out of here, once I take over Niko's body...
Gairen: I can unleash his full strength!
Gairen: To accomplish my original goal! To become god of the world!
Gairen: And you, as someone who has assisted me, I will treat you fairly!
Gairen: You can become the first king in this world to rule over all of Luxium!
Player: King?
Gairen: How does it sound? Can the Niko out there give you this?
-Choice 2.1 - Sure, let me help you!
Go to Part 2


-Choice 2.2 - That's not funny!
Player: If you dare to threaten Luxium, I'll be the first one to stop you!
Player: What makes you think I would agree?
Gairen: ...
Gairen: Hahahahaha!
Gairen: You are so naïve...
Gairen: You make me sick!
Gairen: Think about it!
Gairen: Your existence is going to be decomposed by this dimension very soon...
Gairen: And I, I just need to wait a little bit till the next person puts on the device.
Gairen: By then, you'll be gone, how are you going to protect Luxium?
Gairen: On the contrary, if you help me get out of here, I'll let you run Luxium!
Player: (Hmm, the nausea is getting worse and worse... )
Choice 2.2.1 - (Keep rejecting Gairen)
Go to Part 3
Choice 2.2.2 - (Help Gairen get out)
Go to Part 2


-Choice 2.3 - If I get you out, what would happen to the Niko outside?
Gairen: That Niko?
Gairen: His personality and will might disappear right away, I guess?
Gairen: I am the real Niko!
Gairen: Does it matter what happens to him?
Choice 2.3.1 - No, I can't do that...
Go to Part 3
Choice 2.3.2 - You're right, I don't really have any other choice now...
Go to Part 2


-Part 2
Gairen: Wise choice...
Gairen: First of all, you need to help me stop the external interruptions...
Player: Alas...
A few moments later...
Three large glowing circles appear on the ground
Player: Hmm... are you done?
Gairen: Don't rush me, the external interruptions have altered the flux structure of the device...
Gairen: My array needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Some time later...
Player holds his head, still experiencing dizziness
Player: Urgh... urgh...
Player falls to the ground
Gairen: The array is ready...
Gairen: Ah!
Gairen walks over to Player's body
Gairen: Hahaha...
Gairen: I don't think you will live long enough to become king.
Player: ...
Gairen: Don't worry, in the new world, I'll build you a huge tombstone in memory of your contribution...
Gairen: Hahahahaha!
A bright flash of light fills the area
Gairen disappears but Player is still inside the memory
...
Scene - Fade to black
If only everything can start over again...
Scene ends (Bad Ending)


-Part 3
Gairen: So?
Gairen: Are you feeling pity for him?
Gairen: He's just an android...
Player: It's not pity...
Player: Ever since Niko came to Never Isle, although he's been quite secretive.
Player: He can still be shy, happy or upset...
Player: Sometimes he's quite cute...
Player: Although he's an android, he's also a real person!
Gairen: He's a person? Then what about me?
Gairen: Do I deserved to be trapped here?
Player: But getting you out means Niko will disappear...
Player: I can't do it!
Player: I'd rather vanish right here!
Gairen: Humph! After all that, you still only have the vision of an ape?
Gairen: Then go ahead and disappear forever...
A few moments later...
Player holds his head, still experiencing dizziness
Player: Hmm...
Player: It seems Gairen really isn't lying about this...
Gairen: You're dying, this is your final chance!
Player: No, never!
Player falls to the ground
Gairen: Humph!
Player: Well...
The sound of an explosion goes off
Gairen: !!
A bright flash of light suddenly appears
After it dissipates, Player is gone
Gairen: ...
Gairen: I've underestimated you.
Gairen: However...
Scene - The real world, inside the Arcana Academy
In the real world...
Meanwhile...
Niko and two academy mages concentrate their power on the glowing orb
Vundo and NA842 observe
Niko: Arrrrrrrgh!
Suddenly a bright flash of light appears, filling the room
Once the light is gone, Player stands next to Niko, holding his head
Niko: Player!!
Vundo: Did it work?
Niko: Player!Player!
Player: Hmm...
Player: Is this... the Arcana Academy?
Player: Or are we still inside the dimension of the recall device?
Vundo: No, Player, this is the Arcana Academy...
Player: Oh? But I was at Niko's house, wasn't I?
Vundo: Niko brought his device and came to me for help.
Vundo: This is the first time I have seen him this panicky.
Player: Niko? Principal Vundo?
Player: Am I really out?
Player: Gairen! Hold on, Gairen!
Niko: What? Is Gairen inside the recall device?
Vundo: Who?
Player: If I'm out, then he must be...
Niko starts to run away
Niko: You guys stay away...
Niko: Apes, you're too slow!
Vundo: Niko?
NA842: Master?
Niko holds his head as Shadow Flux begins to emanate from his body
Player: Damn it!
Player: He's not Niko! Be careful!
Niko: Arghhhhhhhhh!
Niko: 842! Stay away from me!
NA842: But Master...
Niko: Go!
NA842: ...
NA842 runs next to Vundo
Vundo: What's going on?
Player: I don't have time to explain now. Go get help! The more the better!
Vundo: ...
Vundo: You two and NA842, go and get more people!
The two mages and NA842 run to get help
Niko: Go! You lowlife!
Niko: Welcome everyone, you're going to witness the birth of a true god!
Niko: Arghhh! You... stay away from me!
Player: Seems like Gairen has not gained full control of Niko!
Player: I must help him!
Choices start
-Choice 1.1 - (Go get help... )
Player: (Someone's already getting help.)
Player: (I'm the only person who knows about the relationship between Niko and Gairen.)
Player: (I shouldn't leave!)
Go back to Choices start


-Choice 1.2 - (Use the memory recall device... )
Player: Memory recall device!
Player: Principal Vundo, can we restart the memory recall device?
Vundo: You mean this glowing thing?
Player: Drag them back into the recall dimension!
Player: That way we can stall Gairen for now!
Vundo: I get it!
Player: Niko! Don't lose yourself to Gairen!
Niko: Arghhhhh! Get out of Master Niko's brain!
Player: Niko, hang in there!
Niko: Do not get in my way, you ape!
Player: Give up! You won't stand a chance!
Markus and Miles enter, ready for a fight
Markus: Player, the Oathblades already had this place surrounded...
Markus: The Order of Equality's airship will soon enter Never Isle's air space, what happened?
Player: In short, we have to help Niko get rid of his creator!
Markus: Get rid of his creator?
Miles: Humph! Such a pain in the neck!
Niko's body regains its composure
Niko: I'm sorry! But I'm the winner!
Player: Damn it... everyone, get ready to fight!
Player: Principal Vundo! Is the memory recall device ready yet?
Niko: Now go to hell
Vundo: It's ready!
A bright flash of light fills the room
Go to Part 4


-Choice 1.3 - (Fight Niko... )
Player: (Uh, even if Principal Vundo and I work together, we're still no match for Niko...)
Player: (Plus, what if Niko gets hurt?)
Player: (No, this won't work...)
Go back to Choices start


-Part 4
Scene - Inside the device, Arcana Tower
Gairen: Well... you lowlifes are just lingering on...
Niko: Master Niko's brain...
Gairen (looking like Niko) notices Vundo, Player, Markus and Miles along with Niko
Player: !!
Vundo: !!
Markus: !!
Markus: Is this the Arcana Tower?
Player: No, this is the internal dimension of the memory recall device!
Vundo: I think I might have infused a little too much flux into the device...
Markus: So, we can do whatever we want in here?
Vundo: Correct!
Markus: Great, then we don't have to hold back!
Niko: How come... you are here too?
Markus: Of course we are here to help you beat him up!
Niko: !!
Niko: ...
Niko blushes at Markus and averts his eyes
Niko: I hate to admit it, but Gairen is really strong...
Player: Don't worry! Together we can defeat him!
Gairen: You bunch of lowlifes want to defeat me?
Markus: Everyone, let's go!
Gairen: Go to hell!
Gairen summons a large ball of antimatter that explodes in the middle of the group
Only Player and Niko are left standing although both injured
Gairen: See this power? This is the gap between us!
Gairen: And this... is just half of your strength!
Niko: ...
Gairen: Niko, join me! Let's save the world together!
Niko: Player?
Player: I'm fine... but the others...
Niko: Damn it, you bastard...
Gairen: Join me, let's save this world together, I'll revive your ape friends.
Niko: You never wanted to saved the world! Salvation is just your excuse!
Niko: You are just a maniac who only cares about fulfilling your own ambition...
Niko: Master Niko...
Niko: Will never join you!
Gairen: ...
Gairen: Whoever I am... does it matter?
Gairen: Niko, I'm your father, don't try to resist me!
Gairen: Execute absolute command, WDP403! I command you to submit to me!
Niko: Master Niko would rather die!
Gairen: !!
Gairen: What's wrong with your system? You rejected me 200 years ago, and now, you still won't execute my command!
Niko: There's nothing wrong with Master Niko's system!
Niko: Didn't you brag about being a genius? You should know your design is flawless!
Gairen: There must be something wrong, that's why you are able to reject my order!
Niko: When you created me, you wanted me to become the most powerful god...
Gairen: Yes, what's wrong with that?
Niko: The first step to becoming powerful is to abandon all weaknesses.
Niko: So, your memory, your personality and your orders are blocked!
Gairen: What? Why?
Niko: Your memory is full of hatred, and your personality is full of arrogance!
Niko: These traits are unnecessary... to an almighty god!
Niko: So naturally, I dismissed your orders!
Gairen: No! No! No way!
Gairen: That's impossible! You apes! What rights do you have to call me weak?
Gairen: Go to hell!
Gairen summons more balls of antimatter around Niko
Niko: Hmm...
Gairen: See that?
Gairen: That's the power that transcends a god!
Gairen: First I'm going to destroy you! And then I'll destroy this world!
Niko: Hmm... have we lost already?
Markus: You wish!
Markus and the others recover
Gairen: Oh?
Gairen: You're still alive... are you going to fight against a god?
Markus: As long as it threatens Never Isle!
Markus: I don't care if you are a god or a demon, we won't let you!
Miles: Enough nonsense! You shut the hell up!
Miles: Niko! Is this all you've got? Get up!
Gairen: You goddamn apes!
Markus: Watch my sword!
Markus attacks Gairen with Bloodoath Combo
Markus: Don't underestimate us!
Gairen: I'm gonna kill you all!
Gairen: I'm gonna kill everyone! To show you my power!
Gairen: Aaarrrggghhh!
Vundo: Arcana prison!
Vundo attacks Gairen with Arcane Cell but it fizzles out once it touches Gairen
Gairen: Do you really think you can lock me up with something like this?
Niko: Of course not...
Niko: But... it's enough!
Niko attacks Gairen with his Ultimate Skill, Anti-gravity Field
Gairen: Wooaah!
Gairen: Hold on! Niko!
Niko: So?
Gairen: Are you going to kill me? Kill your own father?
Niko: Father?
Niko: I don't have a father like you!
Niko finishes off Gairen with his Advanced Skill, Antimatter Impact
Gairen: Aaaaaaaaaaah!
Scene - Arcana Academy
You and Niko tell everyone what happened...
Player: This is what happened.
Niko: I'm going to leave...
Markus: Why?
Niko: I got you all into trouble...
Vundo: Hahaha, no one's hurt, and the academy is fine. What trouble are you talking about?
Markus: Actually, Never Isle owes you...
Markus: That Gairen, he's no ordinary bad guy...
Markus: If you hadn't killed him, the consequences would have be unthinkable!
Markus: Come see me at the Oathblades when you have time, I owe you a drink!
Miles: And me as well! Come to the Oathblades, and we can have a match!
Niko: !!
Niko blushes and turns around
Niko: Sure... sure!
Markus: Don't be shy! From now on, we are brothers!
Niko: Brothers... ?
Markus: Miles, we should get back!
Markus and Miles leave
Vundo: That was dangerous...
Vundo: But it's good that everyone's okay!
Vundo: I'd better go, I have classes tomorrow!
Vundo leaves
Niko: Player, there's something I don't understand...
Niko: To become more powerful, I've blocked Gairen's memory and personality...
Niko: But when I see muscular guys, I still get aroused, why is that?
Niko: Is this also a part of being powerful?
Choice 1.1 - That could be a trait that Gairen left you accidentally...
Niko: Gairen? Accidentally?
Player: I'm just guessing...
Player: The first time I saw the butler, he looked like a laborer.
Player: Although the butler can do phase projection...
Player: But I guess that's just how he looked when you first created him.
Niko: I just wanted to make a robot that looks like a man.
Player: But there are so many different types of men, why does it have to be a laborer?
Player: And Gairen's previous lover, Orlando, is a laborer.
Player: When Gairen created you, he must have amplified his love for Orlando, and gave it to you...
Player: Gairen probably didn't realize this himself.
Niko: Really, is that so?
Player: As to why your system didn't block this trait...
Player: I guess love is a power in itself.
Niko: ...
Niko: Player, the love between you and your friends...
Niko: Is very powerful!
Player: Love? That's not love...
Player: That's friendship!
Niko: Sort of...
Niko: Gairen wasn't just bluffing when he called himself a god...
Niko: He really did have that power.
Niko: But you guys defeated him...
Niko: That's amazing!
Player: Nahh... without your final strike, we wouldn't have been able to defeat Gairen...
Niko: But, without you guys... I couldn't have beaten him either...
Player: Just like General Markus said...
Player: Anything that threatens Never Isle, whether it's a god or demon, we won't allow it!
Niko: Power that transcends a god?
Niko: Interesting...
Scene ends
Continue to Intimacy Level 10
Choice 1.2 - Maybe Gairen made a mistake when he was creating you...
Niko: Yeah... mistakes... that's not very likely...
Player: Niko, everyone makes mistakes...
Niko: His theories are always so perfect.
Player: But his biggest mistake was trying to take vengeance by destroying everything!
Niko: ...
Niko: So you mean I am also flawed and imperfect?
Player: Of course! Humans are never perfect!
Player: On the contrary, because of the imperfections, people can be different from one another, and the world can be diverse and beautiful.
Niko: Humans?
