Rudolf - Mysterious Hermit.
Traveling around Luxium.
Call the wind and ride the shadow, tread the water and stream the light
Intro[]
In a tavern in a small town, a man in black took out a ring and put it on the bar counter, under the light the Azria insignia on the ring was particularly conspicuous.
'Is there anyone in the town wearing this kind of ring?'
The bartender widened his eyes and exclaimed. 'What treasure is this? I've never seen such thing in our poor town!'
The man in black looked disappointed: 'Sorry to disturb...'
Hardly had his voice faded away, a gust of wind blew the door of the bar open, and three or two guests walked in. But the man in black had gone...
From the top of the Loong Mountains to the Storm Coast; from the gusty north desert to the beach of Eversun; from the Ruins of Azria to Yggdrasil, people ever saw this man in black. Some people say he is an ordinary traveler, some say he is a righteous warrior, and others say he is a vicious demon. If you ask about him, people can only shake their heads, no one has seen his face, nor knows his origin.
Maybe this person does not exist at all...

Consolation Letter[]
I hope this letter finds you well.
After living in seclusion in the mountains for many years, I'm no longer familiar with the worldly affairs. Thank you for taking me in, I really appreciate that. During this period of time, I received much care from you.
Remember to practice the Stealth Arcana I taught you a few days ago often, they are good for your health and spirit. But there is no need to deliberately pursue the ultimate. The development path of Stealth Arcana is full of thorns, it isn't suitable for everyone. You just need to do your jobs well and stick to everything you believe in.
I've stayed here for too long time, and I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused. If you are in anger in the future, please be sure to let me know, Rudolf will do best to help you out.
Bath Drama[]
- Taking a bath is also a kind of training!
- I can stand on the water... What? You don't believe it?
- So long as you keep calm, the water can be firm ground...
Fave Hottie Slogan[]
So many people... You're going to vote for me? Thank you so much...

- Rudolf: It was a special circumstance when we met on Never Isle before and I left in a hurry.
- Rudolf: Let me reintroduce myself.
- Rudolf: My name is Rudolf, a member of Stealth Arcana, the traveler of Luxium.
- Rudolf: I came to you today for a reason.
- Player: What is it?
- Rudolf: May I stay on your airship for a few days?
- Rudolf: I won't make trouble and I'll give you triple the market price.
- Player: You don't have to pay. We have never charged for that.
- Rudolf: !!
- Rudolf: Thanks a lot.
- Rudolf: But I insist you take the money. Glad to meet you.
-Intimacy Level 5
- In Hottie Bar, Rudolf is sitting in meditation before a pool...
- Player: Hey! Rudolf! There you are.
- Rudolf doesn't respond...
- Player: Huh?
- Player: Ah, have you passed out?
- You touch Rudolf from behind...
- Like a huge boulder falling into the pool,
- it makes a big splash, half a pool of water spilling out...
- Rudolf: Hmm... not skilled enough...
- Player: What... What happened?
- Rudolf: Ah, it's Player.
- Rudolf: I was training...
- Player: Training? In the bar?
- Rudolf: The pool of Hottie Bar is a good place for training!
- Player: Huh?
- Rudolf makes a strange gesture...
- The raging water instantly becomes still...
- Player: This is... awesome!
- Rudolf: It's just a basic technique of Stealth Arcana.
- Player: Amazing.
- Rudolf: If you are interested in Stealth Arcana...
- Rudolf: I can teach you some tricks at a right time.
-Intimacy Level 6
- Rupor Show hall...
- Player: Eh? Is that Rudolf?
- Rudolf: ...

- A few moments later...
- Airship Hottie Bar
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: Alas... I'm not skilled enough...
- Player: Rudolf!
- Rudolf: Ah, Player!
- Player: I just saw you at the Rupor Show!
- Player: I never thought you'd like watching Rupor Show.
- Rudolf: Alas...
- Rudolf: I went to Rupor Show for some information.
- Player: For information?
- Rudolf: Generally speaking, we can collect more information in crowded places.
- Rudolf: But I didn't expect that there were so many people at Rupor Show...
- Rudolf: The noise of the crowd has drowned the sound of the wind.
- Rudolf: I couldn't hear the wind, which is terrible...
- Player: So you don't like being around about the crowds.
- Rudolf: I'm ashamed that the kunai I habitually used has disappeared.
- Player: Disappear? Did someone steal it?
- Rudolf: I think I have dropped it in the crowds...
- Rudolf: Although the kunai is old, it is still sharp. I hope it won't hurt anyone.
- Rudolf: But that kunai is not so important. I can make another one.
- Rudolf: What matters is that I was beaten again by the fear of the crowds today.
- Rudolf: I'm not skilled enough!
- Rudolf: I will go the extra mile in my training!
- Before you can speak, Rudolf is gone...
-Intimacy Level 7
- In Hottie Bar...
- Rudolf sits in meditation before a pool...
- Player: (Rudolf is training himself...)
- Rudolf: Player.
- Player: Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt your training.
- Player: I found your kunai!
- You hand the old kunai to Rudolf.
- Rudolf: !!
- Rudolf: It's really the one I lost.
- Rudolf: Player, thanks a lot!
- Player: Haha! You're welcome.
- Rudolf looks from you to out of the window...
- Rudolf: Today is a good day for training.
- Rudolf: Player, do you want to train with me?
- Rudolf: I can teach you some techniques of Stealth Arcana.
- Player: Sure!
- Scene transition
- Player: Rudolf, what will you do during your wild training?
- Rudolf: I usually train late at night...
- Rudolf: Close your eyes and activate your body and mind...
- Rudolf: Feel the wind, water, moonlight, and shadows until the sun rises.
- Player: All night?
- Rudolf: All the skills of Stealth Arcana are built on this.
- Player: So extensive training allows you to be invisible and able to teleport?
- Rudolf: Invisible? Teleport?
- Rudolf: What are you talking about?
- Player: You often appear suddenly and disappear.
- Rudolf: It's neither Invisible nor Teleport.
- Rudolf makes a strange gesture...
- Player: Eh? Disappeared?
- A voice comes from the position where Rudolf disappeared...
- Rudolf: I never disappeared.
- Player: Huh?
- Rudolf suddenly appears behind you...
- Player: How did you get behind me?
- Rudolf: And I never appeared.
- Another Rudolf appears in the original position...
- Player: It becomes two!
- Rudolf: During the whole process, I have been standing in the same place.
- Player: But I saw you disappeared and reappeared, and then became two...
- Rudolf: It was the wind. Wind can deceive your eyes.
- Player: The wind?
- Rudolf: Stealth Arcana controls the power of nature through flux...
- Rudolf: We can hide ourselves and eliminate enemies with the help of wind, water, light, and shadow.
- Rudolf: The Invisible, Teleport, and Clone you just saw
- Rudolf: are basic Tracking of Stealth Arcana, called Illusionary.
- Rudolf: Actually, I was manipulating the wind around me...
- Rudolf: I turned the wind into the shape I wanted,
- Rudolf: causing different refractions of light...
- Rudolf: It seemed to people that I suddenly disappeared or reappeared...
- Rudolf: But in fact, I stayed in the same place.
- Rudolf: Confuse enemies by manipulating the wind and moving at high speed.
- Rudolf: This is the core of Tracking of Stealth Arcana.
- Rudolf: In contrast,
- Rudolf: Stealth Arcana: Hidden is manipulating the power of nature to protect allies and eliminate enemies!
- Rudolf: The wind can control gravels. And at high speed, the gravels can penetrate flesh and even armor...
- Rudolf: The power of the wind plus the blade is lethality.
- Player: !!
- Player: This is awesome!
- Rudolf gives you a scroll...
- Rudolf: This is the Stealth Arcana Scroll my master gave me.
- Rudolf: It records the main tactics of Stealth Arcana.
- Rudolf: You can read it.
- Player: Eh? Can I read such a precious scroll?
- Rudolf: Scrolls are made to be read.
- Rudolf: I know its content by heart.
- I unroll the scroll, seeing some records about the travel anecdotes of the masters of Stealth Arcana...
- It concentrates on the use of blades weapons...
- It also introduces the methods of manipulating flux, martial arts, and tactics of Stealth Arcana...
- Player: There are so many contents, and you've known them all by heart?
- Player: You must be a master of Stealth Arcana!
- Rudolf: No... I'm not even close...
- Rudolf: I'm not acquainted with it...
- Player: What? No way!
- Rudolf: Read the last two sentences.
- Player: Walk like a shadow, escape like the wind. Don't be allured and don't draw swords because of the enemy.
- Rudolf: This is the highest form of Stealth Arcana.
- Player: I can basically understand, but how to defeat enemies without drawing swords?
- Player: Use the wind to topple them?
- Rudolf shakes his head...
- Rudolf: I don't know.
- Rudolf: This is why I've been training hard to improve my strength.
- Rudolf: I hope one day I can understand it.
- With the help of Rudolf, I learned some of the skills of Stealth Arcana...
- In the middle of the night, I trained with Rudolf but fell asleep a few times...
- After training, I feel I can control flux better.
-Intimacy Level 8
- Rudolf: Player, here...
- Rudolf hands you the three sheets of paper...
- Player: This is the leaflet of Oathblades...
- Player: Order of Equality's want ad and Arcana Academy's academic conference?
- Player: Rudolf, are you looking for a job?
- Rudolf: Looking for a job?
- Rudolf: No.
- Rudolf: I got the leaflets at Red Harbor.
- Rudolf: Are Oathblades, Order of Equality, and Arcana Academy organizations of Never Isle?
- Player: They are organizations of Never Isle, but they are influential in the whole Luxium.
- Player: Especially Oathblades and Order of Equality!
- Player: The trading partners of Order of Equality spread all over Luxium.
- Player: And President Jonas is Luxium's richest man!
- Player: Similarly, Oathblades has military strongholds across Luxium.
- Player: They are forces that frighten White Cape!
- Rudolf: So Order of Equality is the perfect choice to collect information.
- Player: You could say that. Order of Equality runs big businesses.
- Player: But if you want information about White Cape and the Shadow, Oathblades is better informed!
- Rudolf: Oathblades... that frightens White Cape?
- Rudolf: I have been living in the mountains all the year round unworldly...
- Rudolf: I didn't expect that the world had changed so much.
- Rudolf: Even the uppity White Cape has something to fear.
- Player: Rudolf, are you going to ask Oathblades something? Maybe I can help you.
- Player: I have acquaintances there. Maybe I can help you.
- Rudolf: Thank you, Player!
- Rudolf: But I can handle it myself.
-Intimacy Level 9
- Airship, deck...
- The sound of sharpening something is heard from a distance...
- Player: Rudolf, are you sharpening the weapon?
- Rudolf: Yes.
- Rudolf looks carefully at the kunai he is polishing...
- The kunai reflects cold light under the sun, the sharp edges clearly seen...
- Rudolf: Well, it's done.
- Player: Rudolf, are you sharpening it for training?
- Rudolf: I have no training plan recently.
- Rudolf: This kunai is for you, Player.
- Player: Eh? For me?!
- Rudolf: It is made of Dragon Steel of Loong Mountains. My master left it to me.
- Rudolf: It's sharp, durable, and not too heavy.
- Player: I can't accept such a precious thing!
- Rudolf: Because it is precious, I want to give it to people in need.
- Rudolf: You often fight the shadows. The kunai may come in handy.
- Rudolf: At least it can protect you for me on the battlefield.
- Player: Why saying that?
- Rudolf: It's time to say goodbye. I can't always be here with you.
- Player: It doesn't matter if you live longer. There is enough space on the airship.
- Rudolf: I have something to do. I can't delay it any longer.
- Player: ...
- Player: Well, take care of yourself. You can come to me if you need any help.
- Rudolf: Got it!
- Rudolf: Player, see you later!!
-Intimacy Level 10
- Airship bridge...
- Player: Billy, still no sign of Rudolf?
- Billy: Captain, no.
- Player: I want to know how he is doing.
- Go back to the captain's cabin...
- There is a letter on the table...
- Player: It's Rudolf's handwriting!!
- Rudolf: Player, I hope this letter finds you well.
- Rudolf: It has been a long time since we last met.
- Rudolf: On the day we parted, I looked for my master Shawn along the river.
- Rudolf: Finally I found him near the bank of Elysiann.
- Rudolf: Shawn is safe and recovering in Elysiann. Don't worry.
- Rudolf: I'm protecting Shawn secretly while continuing my training.
- Rudolf: This time, I will hold on to my destiny.
- Rudolf: Player, don't forget...
- Rudolf: You can blow the whistle I gave you when you need me.
- Rudolf: And I will come to you!
-Intimacy Level 11
- Billy: Captain! Watch Rupor Show with me today!
- Billy: Today has a special program and it will last double the time!
- Player: Oh? Special program? Okay!
- A few moments later...
- There are so many people coming to see Rupor Show...
- Player: It's too crowded...
- Player: No wonder Rudolf lost his kunai here...
- Rupor Show is wonderful and it is late at night when it ends...
- Scene transition
- Billy: Captain, today's Rupor Show was amazing!
- Player: Yeah.
- A breeze blows...
- There is a ripple on the water in the distance...
- Billy: I wish every day...
- Player: !!!
- Billy: Captain?
- Player: I remember I should tackle something on this island...
- Player: Billy, you can go back first.
- Billy: Okay! I'll start the airship!
- Player: ...
- Player: It has been a while since I sent the letter...
- Player: What is he doing?
- I take out the whistle Rudolf gave me in my pocket.
- Suddenly I remember what he said before leaving...
- Rudolf: This is the whistle used by the members of Stealth Arcana to call for companions.
- Rudolf: When you are in danger, just blow this and I will come to help you.
- Player: Will he come if I blow this whistle?
- Player: So great?
-Choice A - (Blow the whistle...)
- Player: If I blow it gently, Rudolf shouldn't be disturbed.
- Blow the whistle gently...
- There is no sound made by the whistle...
- Player: Huh?
- Player: Try harder!
- Still, there are only the sound of wind and the sound of water of Lake Bliss lapping the lakeside...
- Player: Eh... Is it broken?
- Blow the whistle with all of your strength...
- There is no sound made by the whistle at all...
- Player: ...
- Choice A.1 - Did Rudolf lie to me?
- Player: Did he give me the runaround?
- Player: Sigh...
- Choice A.2 - Or did I break the whistle?
- Rudolf: The whistle is functional.
- Conversation continues after choices
- Rudolf appears in a puff of smoke
- Player: !!!
- Player: There you are!
- Player: But the whistle didn't make any sound.
- Rudolf: The whistle makes infrasound, which most people can't perceive.
- Rudolf: Infrasound can integrate into Luxium's flux network and quickly spread throughout Luxium.
- Player: That makes sense.
- Player: But how did you come here so soon?
- Rudolf: When I just arrived at Never Isle, I heard your whistle.
- Player: You were in Never Isle?
- Rudolf: To find you, I start from Never Isle!
- Player: Find me?
-Choice B - (Forget it...)
- Player: I better use it when I'm in danger...
- I put the whistle in my pocket and I'm ready to leave.
- Suddenly I feel an unnatural wind behind me...
- Then come the looming footsteps...
- Player: (The patrolling defense forces won't creep up on me.)
- The footsteps are getting closer...
- I move my hand closer to Rudolf's kunai....
- Player: ...
- Rudolf: Player, you perceived me.
- Rudolf: You are stronger than before!
- Player: Ah, Rudolf...
- Player: Why did you creep up behind me? You scared me!
- Rudolf: I saw you on Never Isle and wanted to surprise you.
- Player: It was not a surprise but a fright!
- Rudolf: Oh, I'm sorry...
- Rudolf: I thought you would be happy...
- Player: I'm very happy to see you.
- Player: But Rudolf, why did you come to Never Isle?
- Rudolf: To find you, I start from Never Isle!
- Player: Find me? Can it be...
- Conversation continues after choices
- Rudolf: After ensuring Lord Shawn's safety,
- Rudolf: I went to the Ruins of Azria...
- Rudolf: At there I met my master for the first time...
- Rudolf: And then I went to the mountain where I lived in seclusion.
- Rudolf: Re-studied the scroll left by my master.
- Rudolf: Remembered the days I trained with my master.
- Rudolf: He was a master of Stealth Arcana.
- Rudolf: He always carried a blade.
- Rudolf: But he didn't draw the blade when he was hunting, training, or dealing with robbers.
- Player: He just carried the blade?
- Rudolf: He drew it once, and that was in a training.
- Rudolf: When he and I were both meditating, a poisonous snake avoided the trap I set...
- Rudolf: It wanted to attack me.
- Rudolf: When he noticed, the snake was very close to me.
- Rudolf: To protect me, he drew his blade and slew the snake.
- Rudolf: He had been blade-free for many years, but for me he broke it...
- Rudolf: I asked for punishment, but he just smiled and told me,
- Rudolf: 'The blade-free is not what you think.'
- Rudolf: 'Making you proficient in blade weapons is not to let you abandon them!'
- Rudolf: 'One day, you will understand the reason why I drew my blade...'
- Rudolf: I can't remember the rest.
- Rudolf: But I always remember his words I just mentioned to you.
- Rudolf: Now I finally understand what did my master mean.
- Rudolf: Blades are not for hurting...
- Rudolf: But protecting!
- Player: Protecting!
- Rudolf: Just because blades are for protecting...
- Rudolf: The reason for drawing blades should be to protect companions rather than to slay the enemy!
- Rudolf: That's why the scroll reminds us 'don't draw swords because of the enemy'.
- Player: Now I understand!
- Rudolf: I think the ultimate form of Stealth Arcana is to have people we want to protect with our lives.
- Player: So Rudolf, you are already at the apex of Stealth Arcana!
- Player: Congratulations!
- Rudolf: Yes, because I want to protect...
- Player: Shawn!
- Rudolf: You! (simultaneously)
- Player: !!
- Player: I didn't do anything...
- Rudolf: Protecting Shawn is my mission, and I will carry it out in my lifetime.
- Rudolf: But the one accompanies me to the apex of Stealth Arcana...
- Rudolf: It's you...
- Rudolf: If you want...
- Rudolf: My blade is for you to use!
- Player: ...
- Rudolf takes out the Stealth Arcana Scroll...
- He unrolls it slowly until we see the last sentence...
- Rudolf: I've fully understood the Hidden Trace Scroll, now...
- Rudolf: !!!
- However, the scroll can be unrolled further...
- There is nothing but blankness.
- Rudolf: Blank?
- Rudolf: What does it mean?
- Player: Maybe you need to fill the blankness with your story.
- Player: Just like the masters of Stealth Arcana, you can record your story on it.
- Player: Write the future of Stealth Arcana!
-Intimacy Level 12
- After a burst of white smoke, Rudolf appears in front of you...
- Player: Rudolf, you're back!
- Rudolf: I have finished the patrol today. My lord is safe.
- Player: If you're worried about Shawn, you can take him over.
- Player: There are enough rooms on the airship.
- Rudolf: I thought about it, but I can't.
- Player: Huh? Why?
- Rudolf: My lord has been living a happy life in Elysiann.
- Rudolf: Last time when I broke into his life, I almost caused irreversible results.
- Rudolf: This time, I will protect him secretly.
- Player: It's great that Shawn has a nice guard like you.
- Rudolf: My lord is safe. The priority now is...
- Rudolf takes out the Stealth Arcana Scroll...
- Rudolf: To complete the Stealth Arcana Scroll left by my master.
- Player: Any ideas?
- Rudolf: No...
- Player: You can fill in what you have experienced for so many years.
- Rudolf: Yeah, but...
- Rudolf: Every time I'm ready to write, I feel my story lacking something.
- Rudolf: Something important!
- Rudolf: But what is it?
- Rudolf: Sure enough, I didn't train enough...
- Player: I think the last thing you lack is training...
- Player: What you need most is rest!
- Rudolf: Rest?
- Player: Shawn's problem has been solved, and you have become blade-free.
- Player: You should take a good rest before planing your next step.
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: Taking a rest instead of training?
-Intimacy Level 13
- Hottie Bar...
- Rudolf walks slowly into the door...
- Player: What a strange day today!
- Player: Unexpectedly, you didn't appear suddenly!
- Rudolf's frown changes to a smile...
- Rudolf: Today I'm going to live a normal life like ordinary people.
- Player: Eh? No exercise? No training?
- Rudolf: I accepted your advice and decided to take a three-day break...
- Rudolf: Today is the last day!
- Rudolf: Come have a drink with me.
- Player: All right.
- A few moments later...
- Player: You seem in a good mood today.
- Rudolf: I know what I should write in the Stealth Arcana Scroll.
- Player: Wow, that's great! Then what are you going to write?
- Rudolf: It's not the topic at this time.
- Rudolf: By the way, it's the first time I drink with you.
- Player: Yeah, actually, now you mention it. We haven't had a drink together before.
- Rudolf: Having drinks together has been one of the best ways to share feelings with friends since ancient times.
- Rudolf: As long as you want, we can drink together for another time...
- Rudolf: And many times.
- Rudolf takes a sip of wine...
- Rudolf: Good wine.
- Rudolf: I have never tasted the wine here before in Hottie Bar.
- Rudolf: I didn't expect it to be so good.
- Rudolf: I have recently been idle, and I find that the winds of slower pace are also very pleasant.
- Rudolf: Imagine.
- Rudolf: If I didn't have the destiny to protect the Latours...
- Rudolf: If Player didn't have the mission to recharge the Wheel of Fate...
- Rudolf: If I were not a member of Stealth Arcana and you were not Avatar.
- Rudolf: If we were ordinary people.
- Rudolf: We could drink and chat like this...
- Rudolf: We could live a normal life doing ordinary work.
- Rudolf: That feels good too!
- Player: Sometimes, the most normal life is also the happiest.
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: Would you like to enjoy this happiness with me?
- Player: Huh?
- Rudolf: We can't become ordinary.
- Rudolf: But, at least, I want to experience the happy days with you.
- Rudolf takes out the Stealth Arcana Scroll...
- Rudolf: I want to fill the blanks on the scroll with the feelings and stories about you!
- Rudolf: Player, will you?

Invisible Heel
-Intro
- Rudolf: Player, can you come to Eversun?
- Rudolf: I need help...
- Player: Okay, in a minute!
- Scene transition
- Rudolf: Rudolf... This is also a kind of training!
- Rudolf: The basic principle of Stealth Arcana is to conquer oneself!
- Player: Rudolf!
- Rudolf: Player, there you are.
- Player: What happened?
- Rudolf: Training. I need your help!
- Player: Alright. What can I do for you?
- Rudolf: I'm preparing the necessities for the training in the wild...
- Rudolf: Some things are only available in the market behind...
- Player: So... Rudolf, are you short of money?
- Rudolf: No... no...
- Rudolf: There were too many people in the market. And I...
- Rudolf: I will be nervous...
- Rudolf: I will be speechless...
- Player: Huh?
- Rudolf: I fainted once before...
- Player: Never thought untraceable Rudolf would be afraid of crowds...
- Rudolf: It's ashamed...
- Rudolf: But overcoming one's weaknesses is also a kind of training!
- Rudolf: So...
- Rudolf gives you a small packet...
- Rudolf: This is my kunai. Player, please keep it for me.
- Rudolf: Whatever I say or whatever happens later...
- Rudolf: As long as I don't bring back the necessities for training, don't return the kunai to me!
- Player: Huh?
- Rudolf: Please!!
- Player: ...
-(Buy necessities for Rudolf) - 700 Intimacy
- Player: Rudolf, you don't have to push yourself so hard...
- Player: Humans have weaknesses, so they are humans.
- Player: What do you need? I'll get them for you!
- Rudolf: !!
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: Here is the list...
- Rudolf: Then... Thank you!
- Player: Okay, wait a moment!
- Player leaves
- Rudolf: Hmm... I... I can't make it.
- Scene ends
-(Keep the kunai for Rudolf)
- Player: Actually, I can buy what you need.
- Rudolf: Conquering myself is necessary training!
- Rudolf: Please!!
- Player: Yes!
- Rudolf: Remember, you can't return my kunai if I fail!!
- Rudolf: (Take a deep breath...)
- Rudolf: I'm going!!!
- Player: Er... Rudolf really doesn't like crowds...
- Player: It's the first time I saw such a stiff motion...
- Player: It seems he finally starts shopping...
- ...
- Player: Eh? Why did the vendor leave?
- A few moments later...
- Rudolf comes back empty-handed...
- Rudolf: Alas... I failed...
- Player: ...
- Rudolf: Player, my kunai...
- Player: Eh? You didn't bring back the goods. I can't give it to you!
- Rudolf: Without the necessities, I can only do the kunai training...
- Rudolf: Please, Player!
- Rudolf: Please give me my kunai!
- Player: ...
-(Return the kunai to Rudolf.) - 500 Intimacy
- Rudolf: Please!
- Player: Alas... Well, since you have said so.
- Player: Here...
- Rudolf: Thanks a lot!
- Rudolf: Sure enough, conquering myself... I'm not even close...
- Rudolf: Player, I'm sorry for bothering you today.
- Rudolf leaves in a puff of smoke
- Player: Disappeared... again...
- Scene ends
-(Not return the kunai to Rudolf.) - 900 Intimacy
- Player: No way!
- Player: As long as you don't bring back the items...
- Player: I won't give you the kunai!!
- Rudolf: But...
- Player: No excuse!
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: I must get ready to conquer myself!!
- Rudolf: Player, thanks a lot!
- Rudolf: I'm going!!
- Player: ...
- At dusk...
- Rudolf finally got all the necessities for the training...
- Player: Great!
- Player: You've got everything. Here, your kunai.
- Rudolf takes over the kunai...
- Rudolf: Player, I couldn't have made it without you...
- Player: I didn't do anything except keeping the kunai for you.
- Rudolf: Conquering myself is of great significance to me.
- Rudolf: My gratitude is beyond words.
- Rudolf: Player, if you need my help, I'm there.
- Rudolf: I will do my best!!
- Scene ends
The secluded man
-Intro
- Rudolf stares at the pool in Hottie Bar...
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: ...
- Player: Ask him...
- Scene transition
- Rudolf: Player, perfect timing!
- Rudolf: There is a question in the scroll of Stealth Arcana...
- Rudolf: I can't figure it out.
- Player: Oh? What's the question?
- Rudolf: Say...
- Rudolf: A snake bites a deer.
- Rudolf: The snake entangles the deer firmly with all its might.
- Rudolf: While the deer struggles to free itself.
- Rudolf: The two are about to be exhausted...
- Rudolf: You are passing by. Seeing this situation, who should you help?
- Player: Hmm... Let me think about it...
-Free the deer from the snake. - 500 Intimacy
- Player: The deer is running for its life...
- Player: I can't just watch the deer get caught and be eaten by the snake.
- Player: So I choose to save the deer!
- Rudolf: Do you also choose the deer?
- Player: Also? Rudolf, did you make the same choice?
- Rudolf: Yes. I joined Stealth Arcana a couple of decades ago...
- Rudolf: I kept training and honing my skills...
- Rudolf: Just to protect important people in my life.
- Rudolf: The point of the strong is to protect the weak.
- Rudolf: Compared to the predator, the prey is weaker.
- Rudolf: So I choose to help the deer.
- Player: Yeah. I think the answer is to help the deer. Is that right?
- Rudolf: The answer...
- Rudolf: As described in the scroll...
- Rudolf: Ordinary people save the deer; elites help the snake; Stealth Arcana should remain aloof and look out for all living things.
- Player: Ordinary people...
- Rudolf: Most people are ordinary.
- Player: What?
- Rudolf: When I ask something I didn't understand, my master always says...
- Rudolf: You will understand when it's time.
- Rudolf: Maybe I will understand this question someday.
- Rudolf: It's just the start of my path to Stealth Arcana...
-Help the snake to capture the deer. - 700 Intimacy
- Rudolf: Help the snake?
- Rudolf: Then you watch the deer be eaten by the snake?
- Player: Although cruel...
- Player: In nature, the living environment of the predators is more difficult than that of the prey.
- Player: And the balance of nature requires the predators.
- Rudolf: The balance... of natural?
- Rudolf: That makes sense.
- Rudolf: Player, you're a real hero!
- Player: Why the compliment? Did I get the answer right?
- Rudolf: There is no right answer to this question.
- Rudolf: However, the scroll says...
- Rudolf: Ordinary people save the deer; elites help the snake; Stealth Arcana should remain aloof and look out for all living things.
- Rudolf: It seems to be an ordinary question about the clash between the snake and the deer.
- Rudolf: But the choice reflects the responder's vision.
- Rudolf: My choice is to save the deer.
- Rudolf: Hahaha, we're so different...
-Do nothing and leave! - 900 Intimacy
- Rudolf: !!
- Rudolf: Why?
- Player: Why should I get involved?
- Rudolf: If you didn't do anything, the deer would be eaten by the snake.
- Player: So what?
- Player: It's just that the deer lost the life-and-death combat.
- Player: The deer and the snake are exhausted...
- Player: If the deer gives up first, the snake will eat the deer.
- Player: If the snake gives up first, the deer will escape and the snake will be starving.
- Player: It's a duel between two lives.
- Player: Rudolf, you don't want anyone to interfere when fighting an opponent, do you?
- Rudolf: Indeed, but...
- Player: Across the universe, the duel between a snake and a deer is nothing but a grain of dust.
- Player: In that case, why should we get involved?
- Rudolf: I see!
- Rudolf opens the scroll...
- Rudolf: Ordinary people save the deer; elites help the snake; Stealth Arcana should remain aloof and look out for all living things.
- Rudolf: As a member of Stealth Arcana, I should lift my eyes from individuals to the whole world!
- Rudolf: Haha, compared to me...
- Rudolf: Player is closer to the essence of Stealth Arcana.
Life and mission
-Intro
- Rudolf: Player, it's an emergency...
- Rudolf: Bring the herbs in my cabin to the woods near Red Harbor!
- Rudolf: I want it now!
- Player: In a minute!
- Scene transition
- Rudolf: Well, their breath grows fainter...
- Rudolf: Player, you're not here...
- Player: Rudolf!! The herbs!
- Rudolf: Thank you!
- Rudolf applies the herbs to the swordsman's wounds...
- Player: Rudolf, what happened here?
- Rudolf: It's an emergency. I'll explain it to you later!!
- Rudolf: Hope I'm not too late!
- ...
- Rudolf: Player, perfect timing!
- Rudolf: He will wake up in a while.
- Player: Who is he? What happened?
- Rudolf: I was training nearby.
- Rudolf: Suddenly I felt the flux of shadows, so I came over.
- Rudolf: A rich man's caravan encountered the shadows...
- Rudolf: He stayed and let his caravan escape.
- Rudolf: He had a chance to escape, but he drew his sword to fight the shadows and bought his caravan some time to run away.
- Rudolf: I was late, and he got injured...
- Player: Eh? So these shadows were defeated by him?
- Rudolf: No. The first shadow threw him down.
- Rudolf: These shadows are killed by me...
- Player: Turns out he hasn't beaten one...
- Rudolf: But he showed a lot of courage!
- Player: Judging by his clothing, she must be a mercenary.
-He fulfilled his destiny. He is a hero! - 900 Intimacy
- Player: Under the circumstances, he still remembered his responsibilities.
- Player: He stood up to fight the shadows.
- Player: Although he couldn't beat the shadows...
- Player: He is a respectable mercenary.
- Rudolf: For warriors, honor and destiny are everything...
- Rudolf: For the destiny, they can even give up their lives!
- Rudolf: At this point, he is a warrior greater than me!
- Player: Why did you say that?
- Rudolf: He fulfilled his destiny, but I failed mine...
- Player: Your destiny?
- Rudolf: That's water under the bridge... Forget it...
- Rudolf: He is fine. Let's go back!
-He was reckless and stupid! - 700 Intimacy
- Rudolf: Oh?
- Player: He couldn't even beat a single shadow...
- Player: But he chose to face so many shadows...
- Player: What's the point of this kind of suicide?
- Player: Fortunately you were training nearby and came to destroy the shadows.
- Player: Otherwise, those shadows would have killed him...
- Player: And the next one would be the caravan of the rich.
- Rudolf: He stood and fought the enemies and won a chance for the caravan to escape.
- Player: But he would die...
- Player: After he is dead, what's it all mean?
- Rudolf: He is a mercenary, and protecting his employer is his destiny.
- Rudolf: And the destiny is more important than his life!!
- Player: !!
- Rudolf: I think I should go back for my training...
-He should have escaped instead of fighting. - 500 Intimacy
- Player: He couldn't even beat one shadow. It was suicide.
- Player: He should have run away and figured out a plan later!
- Rudolf: If he escaped from the shadows, the caravan would have been in danger.
- Rudolf: He is a mercenary, and protecting his employer is his destiny.
- Rudolf: He fulfilled his destiny at the cost of his life...
- Rudolf: Regardless of the result, it is respectable.
- Player: After he is dead, what's it all mean?
- Rudolf: Maybe there is someone in the caravan he wanted to guard with his life.
- Rudolf: What a lucky guy...

Original Mission
When everything people believe becomes a lie, they will be sad and angry. But when the lie that is about to be forgotten becomes true, who can stick to the original mission again?
-Part 1
- Scene - A White Capes camp
- Last night...
- White Cape Soldier A: Ah... (yawning)
- White Cape Soldier A: I hate standing guard at night...
- White Cape Soldier B: Yeah, I feel sleepy!
- White Cape Soldier A: Ah... (yawning)
- White Cape Soldier B: Hey, hold on, you don't want to be seen by our captain!
- White Cape Soldier A: It's okay. I bet he has fallen asleep.
- White Cape Captain: What are you guys doing?
- White Cape Soldier A: Whoa!
- White Cape Captain: Do you behave like a warrior of Sword of Light?
- White Cape Captain: How can you beat shadows and the yellow-eyed?
- White Cape Captain: Stay awake!
- White Cape Captain: You guys will stand guard tomorrow night!
- White Cape Soldier A: Hmm... Roger!
- White Cape Soldier B: Yes...
- The captain continues on his way
- White Cape Soldier B: Um... It's your fault...
- White Cape Soldier A: Ah, I have to stand guard tomorrow night. Whatever happens, I'm going to sleep!
- White Cape Soldier A: The yellow-eyed, shadows, come if you want!
- White Cape Soldier A: Well!
- Suddenly, something takes down Soldier A
- White Cape Soldier B: Hey, you mean it?
- Rudolf appears behind Soldier B in a puff of smoke
- White Cape Soldier B: Well!
- Rudolf takes down Soldier B
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf disappears
- Later...
- The White Cape Captain continues his rounds when Rudolf suddenly appears behind him
- Rudolf: Don't move!
- White Cape Captain: !!
- White Cape Captain: Hmm...
- Rudolf: Don't scream, or I will kill you.
- White Cape Captain: ...
- Rudolf: Ten years ago, in Crossport...
- Rudolf: You killed an unarmed old man, right?
- White Cape Captain: Bro, how can I remember what happened ten years ago?
- Rudolf holds kunai more firmly...
- Rudolf: Yes or no! If you lie, I'll kill you.
- White Cape Captain: ...
- White Cape Captain: Yes...
- Rudolf: Why?
- White Cape Captain: What?
- Rudolf: Why did you kill that old man?
- White Cape Captain: He was protecting a yellow-eyed kid...
- White Cape Captain: I just wanted to frighten him with a sword.
- Rudolf gashes the White Cape soldier's back waist.
- Rudolf: Liar!
- White Cape Captain: Um... I was young and eager to prove myself...
- White Cape Captain: So I killed that old man...
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: You should have prepared to die for this!
- White Cape Captain: Ah! Wait!
- White Cape Captain: You must be that old man's family.
- White Cape Captain: He had a grandson! Four or five years old!
- White Cape Captain: I tell you where he is. Don't kill me!
- Rudolf: !!
- Rudolf: What? Arthur had a grandson!
- Rudolf is stunned when he hears the news.
- The White Cape Captain manages to escape Rudolf's grasp
- Rudolf: I should've known it...
- White Cape Captain: Tut! That old man sheltered the yellow-eyed. He should die!
- Rudolf: Where is his grandson?
- White Cape Captain: How do we know? That bastard probably had been dead!
- Rudolf: ...
- White Cape Captain: You should worry about yourself!
- Other White Cape Soldiers come with swords drawn
- White Cape Captain: I will send you to meet the old fart and the little bastard.
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf tosses a kunai, killing the White Cape Captain then disappears
- The White Capes: What? He disappeared!
- Scene - The present, a bar
- Now...
- Player: You broke into the White Cape's camp and killed a White Cape Captain?
- Rudolf: I was too impulsive...
- Rudolf: I asked other White Capes, but they didn't know what hap ten years ago.
- Rudolf: So it's a dead end.
- Player: So you ask me if I have ever seen an orphan boy of fourteen or fifteen years old?
- Rudolf: I would appreciate it if you know anything!
- Player: There are so many boys that age in Luxium.
- Player: It's like searching for a needle in millions of haystacks.
- Player: I need to know more, at least tell me who is Arthur.
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: It's time...
- Rudolf: Player, I was adopted by Lord Latour in Azria.
- Rudolf: During the Battle of Azria, Lord Latour entrusted his brother Arthur to me and asked me to protect them.
- Rudolf: Protecting Arthur and his family is my lifelong mission!
- Player: You are Arthur's guard, and Arthur is Latour's younger brother...
- Player: Latour... This name is very familiar.
- Player: Latour was General Will's superior and the holder of the ring!
- Rudolf: Yes.
- Rudolf: During the Battle of Azria, Lord Latour gave the ring to Lord Arthur.
- Rudolf: The ring can reproduce the past of the holder...
- Rudolf: I went to Never Isle to steal the ring, hoping to find some clue of Lord Arthur.
- Rudolf: However, the ring took me to the night Arthur was killed...
- Rudolf: To protect a Gyee girl, Arthur got killed by the White Capes.
- Rudolf: I thought I had failed Lord Latour, but last night...
- Rudolf: I must find that kid!
- Player: Hmm... According to your words...
- Player: The ring brought you back to the past, and you didn't see Arthur's five-year-old grandson.
- Rudolf: No.
- Player: Well, maybe the grandson was made up by that White Cape soldier.
- Rudolf: He was telling the truth, I knew it.
- Rudolf: Lord Arthur had passed away, but if his grandson is still alive...
- Rudolf: I must complete my mission!
- Player: Hmm... but... there are many doubts...
- Player: The Battle of Azria happened more than a decade ago.
- Player: Why didn't you know Arthur's death until now?
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: Many things happened...
- Rudolf: There is no time for storytelling now.
- Rudolf: When I meet Lord Arthur's grandson...
- Rudolf: I will tell you everything about me.
- Player: Alright.
- Player: Let me think...
- Player: Ten years ago, Arthur was killed by the White Capes, while his five-year-old grandson was missing.
- Player: At that time, where was the ring?
- Player: Since the ring can reproduce the past of the holder, you can follow the ring and fix everything.
- Rudolf: This is impossible...
- Rudolf: The ring has its own will, and you can only see what it wants you to see.
- Player: If we put the ring aside...
- Player: Hmm... the ring...
- Player: Huh?
- Player: I took the ring from a White Cape soldier.
- Rudolf: So?
- Rudolf: The one I killed?
- Player: No, it was definitely not Brian.
- Rudolf: Brian?
- Player: There was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old around him.
- Player: They had a good relationship, and the boy called Brian dad.
- Player: When I took the ring from Brian,
- Player: the boy seemed to have said that he let Brian keep the ring.
- Rudolf: !!
- Rudolf: Wasn't he Brian's kid?
- Player: Brian was about thirty years old, even if he had a kid, the kid shouldn't be fourteen...
- Rudolf: The boy could probably be Lord Latour's grandson!
- Rudolf: I have to see Brian...
- Player: See Brian?
- Player: Hold a knife against his back?
- Rudolf: Most of the White Capes fear death.
- Rudolf: It's the best way to ask them something.
- Player: But Brian is an exception...
- Player: He wouldn't say anything even if he should die.
- Player: Moreover, the kid called Brian dad...
- Player: If you kill Brian, he won't go with you.
- Rudolf: Well, you are right...
- Rudolf: Sorry, I was impulsive again...
- Player: These are just our guesses.
- Player: The first thing is to make sure whether the kid is Arthur's grandson!
- Player: I met Brian a few times and he was not hostile to me.
- Player: Let me ask him.
- Player: If all goes well, he may let us meet the kid!
- Rudolf: Player, I'm sorry to bother you...
- Player: It's nothing! We are friends.
- Rudolf: My gratitude is beyond words.
- Rudolf: I'll wait for your news!
- Scene - White Capes camp
- Brian and Soldier A: Have you heard the captain of the team next door was killed by a ghost?
- Brian and Soldier B: What? Killed by a ghost?
- Brian and Soldier A: Yes! I heard that a dark ghost killed the captain and disappeared!
- Brian and Soldier B: How could there be ghosts in the world?
- Brian and Soldier B: I suppose they drank too much...
- Brian and Soldier A: You don't believe me? I'm telling the truth!
- Brian and Soldier B: Haha, look at you. If there were ghosts, I would protect you!
- Brian and Soldier A: I heard the one who got killed used to be a subordinate of our captain.
- Brian: What are you doing? Keep guard!
- Brian and Soldier A: Captain Brian!
- Brian: Standing guard at night is very hard, but don't let your guard down!
- Brian and Soldier B: Roger, captain!
- Brian and Soldier A: Captain, well...
- Brian and Soldier A: Have you heard about it?
- Brian: What?
- Brian and Soldier A: The captain of the team next door was...
- Brian and Soldier A: Killed by a ghost...
- Brian: Hmm, I heard it.
- Brian and Soldier B: Mmm? Do ghosts exist?
- Brian: We just need to do our job...
- Brian: Notify your teammates immediately if you see any dangerous people!
- Brian and Soldiers: Roger, captain!
- Brian and Soldier B: Whoa! Ghosts do exist!
- Brian: Who?
- Player walks up to Brian while Rudolf hides in the shadows
- Player: Ghosts? It's me!
- Brian: Player...
- Brian: Are you here to return the ring?
- Player: Sorry, I don't have the ring.
- Brian: What are you doing here?
- Player: Like last time, I want to drink with you.
- Brian: Drink...
- Brian: Follow me.
- Brian and Soldier A: Captain, this guy...
- Brian: Don't worry, it's okay.
- Rudolf: ...
- Brian and Player walk further into the camp
- Brian: Last time you came and stole my ring...
- Brian: Tell me what you want. I will give you what I can.
- Player: You think too much. I only want to drink with you.
- Brian: You look uneasy, and you can't help glancing sidelong. You are lying!
- Player: ...
- Brian: Come on, tell me your true intentions.
- Player: ...
-Choice 1.1 - (Put it bluntly)
- Player: Captain Brian, you're straightforward, I'll put it bluntly.
- Player: Why haven't I seen the boy around you today?
- Brian: Boy?
- Player: The boy who calls you dad.
- Brian: Are you here to find him?
- Player: I didn't expect Captain Brian to be a father at such a young age.
- Player: I think he is fourteen or fifteen years old...
- Player: He shouldn't be your own kid.
- Brian: Is it any business of yours?
- Player: Your reaction verified my assumption.
- Player: Did you adopt him ten years ago?
- Brian: !!
- Player: Did he have a grandfather at that time?
- Brian: ...
- Player: You don't speak, so I guessed correctly.
- Brian: What do you want?
- Player: Don't be angry!
- Player: I'm not here for trouble.
- Player: His family is looking for him.
- Brian: His family?
- Brian: Shawn has a family...
- Player: A man who swore to protect him in Azria.
- Player: A family guard!
- Player: The boy's uncle.
- Brian: (Looking down)...
-Choice 1.2 - (Talk about something else first)
- Player: Captain Brian, don't be so serious.
- Player: How's your mission?
- Brian: This is confidential.
- Player: ...
- Player: OK. Are you busy? Do you have a good rest?
- Brian: Same as usual.
- Brian: If you can let your friends bring less trouble on Never Isle,
- Brian: I won't be so busy...
- Player: Uh, they don't listen to me...
- Player: Brian, don't you know how to chat with friends?
- Brian: You are not my friend, and I don't want to be your friend.
- Player: You don't know how to chat...
- Brian: Are you finished?
- Brian: If yes, please go back...
- Player: Stop it!
- Player: Let's talk business!
- Player: Why haven't I seen the boy around you today?
- Brian: Boy?
- Player: The boy who calls you dad.
- Brian: Are you here to find him?
- Player: I didn't expect Captain Brian to be a father at such a young age.
- Player: I think he is fourteen or fifteen years old...
- Player: He shouldn't be your own kid.
- Brian: Is it any business of yours?
- Player: Your reaction verified my assumption.
- Player: Did you adopt him ten years ago?
- Brian: !!
- Player: Did he have a grandfather at that time?
- Brian: ...
- Player: You don't speak, so I guessed correctly.
- Brian: What do you want?
- Player: Don't be angry!
- Player: I'm not here for trouble.
- Player: His family is looking for him.
- Brian: His family?
- Brian: Shawn has a family...
- Player: A man who swore to protect him in Azria.
- Player: A family guard!
- Player: The boy's uncle.
- Brian: (Looking down)...
-Choice 1.3 - (Drink with Brian first)
- Player: Captain Brian, don't be so serious.
- You shake the wine in your hand...
- Player: Let's finish the wine.
- Brian: All right.
- Brian takes out his wine.
- Player: Captain Brian, you don't change, you still drink your own wine.
- Brian: I'm a public official of Sword of Light, I don't accept gifts of any kind.
- You clink glasses with Brian and finish the wine.
- After a few glasses...
- Player: Captain Brian, you can drink a lot. Why did you start talking nonsense last time after a glass of wine?
- Brian: It had a reason... Forgive me.
- Player: Don't be shy. It's good to be looked after by your son!
- Brian: !!
- Player: To be honest, I didn't expect that you have a son.
- Brian: Shawn is my adopted son.
- Player: Adopted son?
- Player: Did you adopt him ten years ago?
- Brian: !!
- Player: Did he have a grandfather at that time?
- Brian: ...
- Player: You don't speak, so I guessed correctly.
- Brian: What do you want?
- Player: Don't be angry!
- Player: I'm not here for trouble.
- Player: His family is looking for him.
- Brian: His family?
- Brian: Shawn has a family...
- Player: A man who swore to protect him in Azria.
- Player: A family guard!
- Player: The boy's uncle.
- Brian: (Looking down)...
- Conversation continues after choices
- Brian: ...
- Player: Brian?
- Brian sighs...
- Brian: I see...
- Brian: I didn't intend to take care of Shawn all the time.
- Brian: Since he has a family, I have no reason to keep Shawn.
- Player: ...
- Brian: But...
- Brian: Where is that guard?
- Brian: To pick up Shawn, he should talk to me by himself!
- Brian: If he is reliable and can protect Shawn...
- Brian: ...
- Brian: I'll let him take care of Shawn...
- Rudolf reveals himself
- Rudolf: I'm Shawn's guard...
- Rudolf: That blaster!
- Brian: Masked and dressed in black!
- Brian: It's you!
- Rudolf: It's you!
- Player: What? Do you know each other?
- The other White Capes in camp take up arms
- Rudolf: ...
- Player: Stop fighting!
- Brian: Player, you are not a bad person. You are used by bad guys...
- Player: Huh?
- Brian points to Rudolf
- Brian: You! You are suspected of assassinating a White Cape Officer, you have been arrested!
- Rudolf: Unexpectedly, Lord Arthur's grandson had recognized you as a father...
- Rudolf: Ten years ago, you were there...
- Rudolf: You encouraged your men to kill Lord Arthur!
- Rudolf: Made him an orphan!
- Player: !!
- Rudolf: Then adopted him as a hostage!
- Brian: Shawn is not a hostage!
- Rudolf: If he is not a hostage, why would he take you for his father?
- Brian: ...
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: You framed that little girl!
- Rudolf: Framed the girl Arthur protected with his life!
- Player: How... how could Brian...
- Rudolf: Determination is our only chance to win.
- Brian: ...
- Player: Brian...
- Rudolf: After so many years, you White Capes haven't changed at all.
- Rudolf: Player told me you were different from others.
- Rudolf: And I believed...
- Rudolf: You are just another bastard who does all the evil in the name of justice.
- Rudolf: I'll tell the boy the truth and take him away!
- Rudolf: You've raised him for ten years. I won't kill you.
- Rudolf: Tell me, where is he?
- Brian: You can't take Shawn away!
- Brian: I won't let you take Shawn away!
- Rudolf: What's your position on this?
- Brian: No!
- Brian: But I won't let you take Shawn away!
- Brian and Soldier B: Captain! We are here to help you!
- Brian and Soldier A: Ghost! You are trapped!
- Brian: Don't act rashly!
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: I ask you one last time...
- Rudolf: Where is Shawn?
- Brian: You can kill me, but you can't take Shawn away!
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: Get real!
- Rudolf attacks Brian but Brian guards
- Brian: ...
- Brian shoots his Pulse Cannon and Rudolf dodges his shot
- Rudolf: May your sinful soul be calm in the wind...
- Rudolf: Secret skill...
- White Cape Herald: Captain! Captain! Captain!
- The herald interrupts the battle and runs up to Brian
- White Cape Herald: Captain! Our troops were ambushed by shadows! We need support!
- Brian: What?
- Brian: Shawn is in that team!
- Rudolf: Shawn!
- Brian: What happened?
- White Cape Herald: Captain, we were attacked by shadows with heavy casualties!
- White Cape Herald: Hurry up, or we will be wiped out!
- Rudolf: Where are they?
- White Cape Herald: South... Holy Light Outpost!
- Rudolf: ...
- Brian: They are shadows. It's no use for you to go alone.
- Brian: Assemble, Sword of Light! Go to the southern outpost and rescue allies!
- Brian's Troops: Yes, sir!
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: Got it!
- Scene - Holy Light Outpost
- Rudolf: !!
- Player: Are we late?
- Brian: ...
- Brian: There were more people at the defensive outpost. Some of them should have escaped.
- Rudolf checks the corpses on the ground...
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: There is no kid...
- Player: Shawn is not here...
- Player: But where did he go?
- Brian: All teams, disperse!
- Brian: Look for the sign of the outpost team!
- Brian's Troops: Yes, sir!
- Rudolf: This is too slow!
- Brian: Do you have a better idea?
- Rudolf: Hidden! Wind Listener!
- A wind starts to swirl around Rudolf
- Brian: !!
- Brian and Soldier A: What is he doing?
- Brian and Soldier B: Close eyes with a cool pose to find a trace?
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: I found him! Over there!
- Rudolf: Catch up with him!
- Brian and Soldier B: But there are no traces here.
- Brian and Soldier A: Aye, if they went this way, there will be traces.
- Rudolf: I have no time to explain to you. Shawn went in this direction!
- Brian: ...
- Brian: Sword of Light, scatter, expand search range!
- Rudolf: Why you...
- Brian: You are right. We don't have time.
- Brian: I can't count Shawn's life on the spell I have never seen before!
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: Humph...
- Rudolf: Crap...
- Rudolf: Player, let's go after Shawn!
- Player: Got it!
- Player: Brian, Rudolf won't joke with us about his mission.
- Player: You have never seen Rudolf's ability.
- Player: If he says this way, Shawn must be running this way!
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: Player, thank you...
- Rudolf: (Glaring with anger)
- Rudolf takes Player and they disappear together
- Meanwhile...
- Shawn and two White Capes run up against a raging river
- Shawn: It's a dead end!!
- White Cape Survivor A: These shadows won't let go of us!
- White Cape Survivor B: Oh, no! We are all doomed!
- Shawn: Don't give up! Captain Brian will save us!
- White Cape Survivor B: Don't go after me! I don't want to die!
- A shadow spider attacks one of the survivors
- White Cape Survivor B: Oooh!
- White Cape Survivor A: Damn it... I want to kill these shadows!
- A few moments later...
- The other survivor dies and Shawn is alone facing more shadow spiders
- Shawn: Hmm...
- Shawn: Father, I'm sorry...
- Rudolf: Found them!
- Rudolf and Player see Shawn from a distance
- Player: Shawn is in danger!
- Rudolf: I will help him!
- Rudolf: Player, I'll cover you from behind!
- Player: He is surrounded by shadows, how can you...
- Rudolf: Tracking, Illusionary!
- Rudolf disappears
- Player: Disappeared!
- Rudolf suddenly appears behind the shadow spiders and attacks
- Rudolf: Hidden, Windhammer!
- Rudolf then zips to Shawn's side
- Player: So fast!
- Rudolf: My lord, are you alright?
- Shawn: Who are you?
- Shawn faints from exhaustion
- Rudolf: !!
- A few moments later...
- Player: How is Shawn?
- Rudolf: He is fine. He just passed out and would wake up soon.
- Rudolf looks at Shawn...
- Rudolf: Finally I find you...
- Player: Finally you found Shawn. What will you do?
- Choices start
-Choice 2.1 - You can settle on Never Isle.
- Rudolf: Never Isle?
- Rudolf: I broke into Never Isle at night before, I'm afraid everyone won't forget me easily.
- Player: That was a misunderstanding, and you didn't hurt anyone...
- Player: If you explain it to the Defense Force, they will let you settle on the isle.
- Rudolf: Hmm, good idea!
- Rudolf: Shawn will be safe on Never Isle.
- Go back to Choices start
-Choice 2.2 - What about Brian?
- Rudolf: That hypocrite...
- Rudolf: If he dares to make trouble, I won't keep him alive.
- Player: But Shawn treats Brian as his father...
- Rudolf: I'll tell Shawn the truth about ten years ago and debunk that hypocrite.
- Rudolf: I believe Shawn will no longer recognize him as his father!
- Go back to Choices start
-Choice 2.3 - What do you plan to do in the future?
- Rudolf: Alas...
- Rudolf: I don't know.
- Rudolf: I would give my life to protect him.
- Player: Great!
- Go back to Choices start
-Choice 2.4 - We better leave, shadows may come back!
- Player: Let's go back to the airship first. It's not safe here.
- Rudolf: Got it!
- Rudolf is about to carry Shawn...
- ???: Where are you going?
- Rudolf: !!
- Go to Part 2
-Part 2
- A Shadow Spider Queen sneaks up behind Rudolf and Player
- Player: When?
- Rudolf: !!
- Rudolf: I didn't even perceive him!
- Shadow Spider Queen: I didn't expect to lose so many soldiers to besiege a White Cape's outpost.
- Shadow Spider Queen: You two are capable. If you join Shadowcult, I will spare your lives!
- Shadow Spider Queen: Otherwise, you will envy the dead!
- Rudolf: Not a chance!
- Rudolf: Hidden! Phantom Wind!
- Rudolf wraps Player and Shawn in a strange wind
- Rudolf: Stand in the hidden wall of wind to hide from the enemy.
- Shadow Spider Queen: Oh? Disappeared? Interesting...
- Rudolf: Player, take care of Shawn!
- Player: Got it!
- Rudolf: Secret! Flash!
- Rudolf throws Frostfall at the Shadow Spider Queen
- Player: Haha, you hit it!
- Rudolf: ...
- Shadow Spider Queen: Is that the best you can do? A soft touch?
- Player: What?
- Rudolf: It's not over yet!
- Rudolf teleports behind the Shadow Spider Queen and attacks with a kunai
- Shadow Spider Queen: Um... Rats...
- Rudolf teleports and attacks again
- Shadow Spider Queen: Humph!
- The Shadow Spider Queen launches a counterattack, hitting Rudolf
- Rudolf: Hmm...
- Player: Rudolf!
- Rudolf: Don't worry about me...
- Shadow Spider Queen: You can use Stealth Arcana. You don't stay in the mountains but look for death!
- Player: It knows Stealth Arcana!
- Shadow Spider Queen: After the last Battle of shadows, we've learned the little prank of Stealth Arcana!
- Shadow Spider Queen: The servants of shadows, besiege them!
- Four Shadowcult mages appear out of thin air
- Player: Dammit...
- Player: There are so many of them...
- You see Rudolf slightly raising his eyebrows...
- Rudolf: Now!
- Rudolf: Tracking! Stealth Arcana Array!
- Four copies of Rudolf appear behind the enemies
- Player: Wow!
- Shadow Spider Queen: !!
- Rudolf: Evil thing! Look who is besieged!
- Shadow Spider Queen: It was a feint attack!
- Shadow Spider Queen: Launched a feint attack while making traps...
- Shadow Spider Queen: Humph... I'm impressed.
- Rudolf: Secret! Asura Field!
- Rudolf: Get real!
- Shadow Spider Queen: (Grinning)
- A bright flash suddenly blinds the field, eliminating Rudolf's clones
- Rudolf: Oooh!
- Rudolf is hit by the Shadow Spider Queen
- Player: !!
- Shadow Spider Queen: I hit you. There is nothing you can do.
- Rudolf: Hmm...
- Rudolf: How could it find my real body so soon?
- Shadow Spider Queen: My power was given by Shadowlord.
- Shadow Spider Queen: In front of the ultimate power of shadow, you have nowhere to hide!
- Shadow Spider Queen: You are no match for me at all.
- Player: (Just now Rudolf was hurt badly...)
- Player: (At this rate we are going to die...)
- Player: (I must find a way out...)
- Shadow Spider Queen: I've had fun. It's time to kill you guys.
- Shadow Spider Queen: Starting from the kid you want to protect!
- Player: !!
- Rudolf: Player! My lord!
- Rudolf teleports in front of Shawn and takes the attack
- Rudolf: Ahhh!
- Player: Rudolf!
- Player: (This wound!)
- Player: (It is beyond hope...)
- Player: Why are you doing this?
- Rudolf: This is... mission... Latour gave me...
- Rudolf: I must finish...
- Shadow Spider Queen: Oh, I'm touched and about to cry...
- Shadow Spider Queen: Don't worry, you guys will meet him soon!
- Rudolf: Player, hold Shawn... Get ready!
- Rudolf: If I... hurt you... kill me!
- Player: Don't talk. Keep your strength.
- A powerful flux blows you and Shawn away...
- Player: Ahhhh!
- Rudolf's eyes glow red
- Rudolf: Die! Devil!
- Player: Um... What happened...
- You feel dizzy and fainted.
- Shadowcult Mage: Ahhhhhhhhh!
- Shadowcult Mage: Run! Run! Hurry up... Uh!
- Shadowcult Mage: What is this?
- Player: W-what's going on?
- Player opens his eyes and sees a Rudolf engulfed in a red aura
- Rudolf: Roar!!
- Shadow Spider Queen: Um... What a great power!
- Rudolf: Go to hell!
- Player: Is that Rudolf?
- Player: He's amazing!
- Rudolf defeats the Shadow Spider Queen
- Shadow Spider Queen: Ah! Monster...
- Player: Rudolf killed all the shadows!
- Player: Why?
- Player: Why didn't he use his great power earlier?
- Rudolf turns towards Shawn
- Rudolf: Roar...
- Player: That doesn't look right!
- Shawn slowly stands up...
- Shawn: What happened?
- Rudolf: Go die!
- Shawn: Who are you?
- Player: What? What is he doing?
- Rudolf: Roar!!
- Rudolf: Go to hell!
- Shawn: Whoaaaaa!
- Rudolf and Shawn fall into the river...
- Player: Rudolf! Shawn!
- ...
- Scene - On a riverbank
- Driving the airship to search the river...
- You only found Rudolf who was unconscious. Shawn was still missing...
- Player: Rudolf!
- Player: Rudolf, are you okay?
- Rudolf: Hmm...
- Rudolf: Hmm...
- Rudolf: Player?
- Rudolf stands up
- Player: You can't stand up yet! Your wound...
- Player: What? The fatal wound disappeared...
- Rudolf: My lord? Where is my lord?
- Rudolf: Player, have you seen Shawn?
- Player: Shawn...
- Player: You suddenly started attacking him...
- Player: Then you fell into the river with Shawn...
- Player: I drove the airship to search for you guys, but only found you.
- Rudolf: !!
- Rudolf: I...
- Rudolf: I have to find him!
- Rudolf flinches from a sudden pain
- Rudolf: Hmm...
- Player: Rudolf! You hurt so badly. Don't move!
- Rudolf: No way!
- Rudolf: I must find my lord!
- Rudolf: This is my mission!
- Player: ...
-Choice 1.1 - (Bring Rudolf to the airship to treat wounds)
- Player: You are badly injured. You can't go far.
- Rudolf: It doesn't matter.
- Player: Doesn't matter?!
- Player: Doesn't your life matter?
- Rudolf: No!
- Player: What the...
- Player: I'm just saying, even if you find Shawn...
- Player: Since you are wounded, should you let Shawn take care of you?
- Rudolf: ...
- Rudolf: You are right. I'm immature...
- Player: Anyway, go back to the airship to treat wounds before finding Shawn.
- Rudolf: No need.
- Rudolf: It's nothing.
- Rudolf concentrates
- A gentle wind surrounds Rudolf, healing his wounds
- Player: !!!
-Choice 1.2 - (Hope Rudolf find his master)
- Player: You are so persistent. I can't stop you.
- Player: Hope you find Shawn and complete your mission.
- Player: I will drive the airship to help you.
- Rudolf: Thanks.
- Player: Don't push yourself too hard. You are wounded!
- Rudolf nods.
- Scene ends
- Conversation continues after choices
- Rudolf: I promised you I will tell you my story when I find Lord Arthur's grandson.
- Rudolf: I don't know where to start. You can ask me.
- Player: ...
-Choice 2.1 - Why did the fatal wound on you heal so soon?
- Player: Was it a powerful Stealth Arcana?
- Rudolf looks at his arm.
- Rudolf: That was not arcana...
- Rudolf: When I'm frenzied, my wounds will heal quickly.
- Player: Frenzied? Sounds amazing!
- Rudolf: This is not amazing...
- Rudolf: Remember what I told you before I was frenzied?
- Player: You said if you hurt us, we should kill you.
- Rudolf: Yes...
- Rudolf: Because once the seal on my body is removed, I will be frenzied.
- Rudolf: I will no longer control my body...
- Player: Sealed? Berserked?
- Rudolf: You must have heard of the Battle of Azria...
- Player: Yes.
- Player: Under the siege of the White Capes and shadows, Light Nexus Tower exploded and destroyed everything in Azria.
- Rudolf: Yes, Light Nexus Tower's explosion destroyed everything...
- Rudolf: Everything except me...
- Player: !!
- Player: Rudolf, you were there?
- Rudolf: Sort of...
- Rudolf: At that time I hid behind a house and barely survived.
- Rudolf: But the light nexus polluted by shadows changed my flux's structure.
- Rudolf: A slight mood swing will trigger berserk.
- Rudolf: Frequent berserk swallowed me. I couldn't recognize my true form.
- Rudolf looks into the sky...
- Rudolf: Over a decade ago, in berserk state, I broke into a house in the mountains and there was only an old man...
- Rudolf: Although I was berserked, he beat the pants off me.
- Player: Was he so powerful?
- Rudolf: He was the master who taught me Stealth Arcana.
- Rudolf: Master suppressed my Berserk with Stealth Arcana. Slowly I remembered who I was...
- Rudolf: Through the sealing arcana of Stealth Arcana...
- Rudolf: I eventually controlled that power.

- Choice 2.1.4 - When we were surrounded by shadows, why didn't you run away with Shawn?
- Continue with the conversation
-Choice 2.2 - Why would you die for Shawn and your mission?
- Player: When shadows rushed over, you blocked their attack for Shawn.
- Player: You could have been dead if the wound was deeper.
- Rudolf: I know. My life doesn't matter.
- Player: Why? Why don't you care about yourself?
- Rudolf: Yes.
- Rudolf: My life was given by Lord Latour.
- Rudolf: I would give my life to complete the mission he left to me.
- Player: How can your mission be more important than your life?
- Rudolf: I was born in an ordinary family in Eversun.
- Rudolf: My father drank all day long...
- Rudolf: When I was four years old, my father drank himself to death.
- Rudolf: My mother hooked up with men every day. I could only compete with dogs for food in the trash.
- Rudolf: No one cared about me. I was dirty and smelly and I had no friends.
- Rudolf: When I was eight, in the winter, my mother remarried.
- Rudolf: That man didn't like children, so my mother threw me out of the window!
- Player: What?
- Rudolf: Because of the thick snow, I survived.
- Rudolf: But I had no motivation to live.
- Rudolf: How could a child survive without the parent's care and love?
- Rudolf: There was no point in living...
- Rudolf: When I was about to jump from the pier of Eversun...
- Rudolf: Lord Latour found me and bought me a meal.
- Rudolf: That was the first time I had a hot meal...
- Rudolf: After listening to my experience, Lord Latour didn't despise me but adopted me and loved me like I was his son.
- Rudolf: At that time, as long as I was around Lord Latour, I felt warm.
- Rudolf: That warmth...
- Rudolf: Might be father's love.
- Player: !!
- Rudolf: During the Battle of Azria, Lord Latour entrusted his brother's family to me.
- Rudolf: He asked me to take care of them.
- Rudolf: Lord Latour gave me a chance to live.
- Rudolf: The mission he left to me is the meaning of my life!
- Player: ...
- Choice 2.2.1 - Why did the fatal wound on you heal so soon?
- Go to Choice 2.1

- Go to Choice 2.2
- Choice 2.2.3 - Where have you been these years after the Battle of Azria?
- Go to Choice 2.3
- Choice 2.2.4 - When we were surrounded by shadows, why didn't you run away with Shawn?
- Continue with the conversation
-Choice 2.3 - Where have you been these years after the Battle of Azria?
- Rudolf: Battle of Azria...
- Rudolf: The light nexus polluted by shadows changed my flux's structure.
- Rudolf: A slight mood swing will trigger berserk.
- Rudolf: After crawling out of the ruins of Azria, I lived like a beast for years...
- Rudolf: Until I met the master who taught me Stealth Arcana.
- Rudolf: After practicing with my master for years, I gradually controlled my emotions.
- Rudolf: It was three years ago, I finally controlled that power.

- Continue with the conversation
- Conversation contiues after choices
- Rudolf: Run away with Shawn?
- Player: Rudolf, you see your mission above everything...
- Player: When we were surrounded by shadows...
- Player: It couldn't be easier for you to take a child away.
- Rudolf: Escape is never an option!
- Player: Huh?
- Player: But Stealth Arcana is a technique that uses nature to make you invisible.
- Player: You don't know how to confront enemies.
- Rudolf: Yes...
- Rudolf: But half of Stealth Arcana: Hidden is to protect companions.
- Player: But if you ran away with Shawn...
- Player: Shawn won't be missing now.
- Rudolf: Indeed! Shawn is my lord...
- Rudolf: That can ensure my lord's safety.
- Rudolf: But Player, you are my friend.
- Rudolf: I won't abandon friends for my lord!
- Rudolf: Therefore, facing shadows was my only choice.
- Rudolf's healing wind disappears
- Player: Don't you rest longer?
- Rudolf: No. I'm alright.
- Rudolf: Player, this is for you.
- Rudolf gives you a whistle...
- Player: What is it?
- Rudolf: This is the whistle used by the members of Stealth Arcana to call for companions.
- Rudolf: When you are in danger, just blow this and I will come to help you.
- Player: Come to help me?
- Player: Do you want to leave?
- Player: I can find Shawn with you. It will be quicker!
- Rudolf: Thank you, but I will leave after ensuring Shawn's safety.
- Rudolf: My strength is far from enough...
- Rudolf: When I encounter danger, I can only rely on power that doesn't belong to me.
- Rudolf: I'm unable to protect my lord and my friends...
- Rudolf: I'll bring you danger.
- Rudolf: I must make myself stronger!
- Rudolf: Remember what I told you? The ultimate form of Stealth Arcana?
- Player: Walk like a shadow, escape like the wind. Don't be allured and don't draw swords because of the enemy.
- Rudolf: When I become blade-free, I will come back to you.
- Rudolf: Player, goodbye!
- Player: Hey, wait!
- Rudolf disappears
- Player: ...
- Player: Take care...
