角色故事•四（解鎖條件：角色等級80）
「黎明聖城奧赫瑪為此世之中黑潮尚無法侵擾的淨土，但黑潮對其包圍之勢已顯而易見。
千年歷史，黑潮所過之處，生靈異化為非人的怪物，城邦風蝕為無人的廢墟，即便強盛如懸鋒，其神明亦被黑潮污染，一切荒廢無存。
逐火至今，大部分火種都已歸位，然而黑潮將臨，時間已所剩無幾，在再創世之前，如若奧赫瑪失守，一切都將前功盡棄。
筆者於此大膽揣測，在不久的將來，逐火的英雄必將與黑潮一戰。從以往記錄來看，哪怕是最為勇猛的戰士，也無法在黑潮中堅持長久。黃金裔英雄各有所長，若說此戰的希望，若非那驍勇的白厄，便會落在邁德漠斯身上。
當然，那不僅是因為邁德漠斯作為此世勇者之冠，拒絕死亡的天生之命，也不僅因為懸鋒舊城位處抵擋黑潮的關要。縱然邁德漠斯如懸鋒的獅子般一生遷徙多次，最後停留在離誕生地極遠的地方，孤高的王也絕無可能在他國中稱臣。一旦安頓好子民，將使命視作生命的邁德漠斯必定歸鄉，只不過這一次，他背負的不只是懸鋒人的希望，更是世界的未來。
塔蘭頓的祭司曾預言，千年紛爭的歷史始於懸鋒，亦將終結於懸鋒。或許在未來的某一日，那不死之身踏入黑潮，方生方死，那會是怎樣的境況，怎樣的悲壯……」

Character Story: Part IV
• Unlocked at Character Level 80
"The holy city of Okhema remains one of the last pure lands untouched by the black tide. Yet, the encirclement of the black tide around it has become unmistakably clear.
For a thousand years, wherever the black tide has swept, life has been twisted into inhuman monstrosities, and city-states have been eroded by the wind into desolate ruins. Even a stronghold like Kremnos saw its gods tainted by the black tide, leaving nothing but wastelands in its wake.
Most of the Coreflames had been restored, yet as the black tide approached, we found ourselves desperately short on time. All we have achieved will have been in vain should Okhema fall before the Era Nova.
The author boldly speculated that, soon, the heroes chasing the flame would inevitably face a decisive battle against the black tide. Historical records showed that even the most valiant warriors could not endure long within the black tide. Among the Chrysos Heir heroes, if there was any hope for this battle, it would either rest upon the fearless Phainon or fall to Mydeimos.
This wasn't merely because Mydeimos hailed as the bravest in this world, carried a destiny that defied death, nor was it solely because the old city of Kremnos occupied a strategic choke point against the black tide. Even though Mydeimos, like the lion of Kremnos, had migrated countless times in his life and ultimately settled far from his birthplace, the solitary king would never submit to foreign rule. Once he had settled his people, Mydeimos, who regarded his mission as his very essence, would undoubtedly return home. Yet, this time, he bore not only the hopes of the Kremnoans but also the future of the entire world.
Talanton's priests once prophesied that the millennium of Strife that started in Kremnos would also find its end there. Perhaps, one day, that eternal figure will face the black tide — suspended between life and death. Imagine such a scene, such a profound tragedy..."
