角色故事•二（解鎖條件：角色等級40）
「我以探險家的身份來到這顆星球，一如既往，我會統計河流的走向如何，研究街巷的磚瓦是怎樣的材質，落差最大的道路有多少度，還有煙囪的個數和分布…這些工作符合人們的想像，對於保存一個星球「記憶」的想像。
——但這遠遠不夠。
當我在人後真正開始工作，便頻繁見到那名少女。有時陽光透過葉尖，跟隨她的身影下顫動，最終消失在某個轉角處，那時路燈便會點亮；有時她目光跟隨一隻信鴿，每周第三天的傍晚它會從大祭司住處出發，第二天凌晨回到皇宮侍衛長的手中，而他們是明面上的政敵；有時她靜靜打量雨水落入下水道，損壞的痕跡來自從對岸發射來的火炮；有時浪花會打濕她的裙角，而河邊洗衣的老婦正吶吶自語上一代當權者和他五個私生子的故事。
——除了我們，很少有人知道星球會這樣把自己的「記憶」裹藏起來。
我跟隨她來到一處荒野上的石頭前，我覺得，是時候邀請她了。
『你看到了什麼？』我以她能看見的模樣，向她詢問。
她指著雜草生長的地方，那裡留著打磨的痕跡。
『一塊石頭，我覺得它曾是一座壁爐的一部分…但應該不止於此。』
我點點頭，幫她清除了石頭縫隙中的雜草與泥土。
『它還曾是一座紀念碑。』她撫摸著石頭上的刻痕。
『是的。但「記憶」仍不止於此。』
於是我向她展示。荒野上的石頭，它曾是某戶人家的壁爐，在這之前，它還曾是一座紀念碑，一座花壇，一方祭台…而在更早之前，它是一處荒野上的石頭。
『要看見這些「記憶」，我會付出怎樣的代價？』
『在你願意現身前，人們將無從知曉你的存在。』
『就像人們看到黑天鵝前，從不知道天鵝不止白色一種？』
『就像那樣。』」
——一位探險家（憶者）的回憶
憶者們穿梭於諸多星球，在每一條路途，每一個轉角間採擷城市的記憶，他們會確保自己不留下痕跡，以免被城市記得。除非他們遇到具備憶者資質的人，並將他們從這座城市的記憶中帶走，帶去更廣闊的大海。
Character Story: Part II
• Unlocked at Character Level 40
"I arrived on this planet as an explorer. My usual tasks involved observing the flow of rivers, examining the materials of the city's bricks and tiles, analyzing the steepness of roads, and documenting the number and distribution of chimneys... These duties aligned with people's imagination of preserving a planet's 'memories.'"
— However, such efforts were far from sufficient.
Once I started working in secrecy, I would often come across that girl. Sometimes, sunlight would dance through the leaves as she walked beneath them, disappearing around corners once the street lamps illuminated the surroundings. On other occasions, her gaze would follow a carrier pigeon, which left the High Priest's quarters every Wednesday night, only to return the following morning to the palace's chief of the guards — a known political adversary of the High Priest. Occasionally, she would quietly observe rain trickling into sewers scarred by artillery fired from the opposite shore. And sometimes, waves would dampen her skirts, while an elderly woman washing clothes by the river recounted the story of the previous sovereign and his five illegitimate children.
— Few individuals, apart from us, understand that a planet conceals and safeguards its "memories" in such a manner.
I trailed behind her until we reached a rock on the moor. I knew that it was the time to invite her.
"What do you see?" I asked, in a form visible to her.
She pointed at a patch of weeds and the lingering traces.
"I see a stone, perhaps once part of a fireplace... But it must hold more significance."
I nodded and assisted her in removing the weeds and dirt from the crevices of the stone.
"It was once a monument," she murmured, gently caressing the engravings adorning its surface.
"Indeed, but the 'memory' holds more significance."
Thus, I revealed to her that the stone on the moor had once served as a fireplace, a monument before that, a flowerbed, and even an altar... And before all that, it had simply been a stone on the moor.
"What price would I pay if I want to witness those 'memories'?"
"People will remain oblivious to your presence unless you are willing to reveal yourself."
"Just as people fail to acknowledge the existence of black swans until they encounter one?"
"Yes, just like that."
— An Explorer's(Memokeeper) memories
Memokeepers travel to numerous planets, collecting the memories of each city they encounter. They are careful not to leave any trace of their presence, ensuring that nobody remembers them, unless they come across someone with the potential to become a Memokeeper, whom they then take away from the city into the vast expanse of the stars.
