角色故事•二(解鎖條件:角色等級40) 對年幼的格妮薇兒來說,她的整個世界就是護國公府邸和大宅前繁榮的街市。 老師們說,她的家族歷史悠久、聲名顯赫,這幢府邸也足有幾個琥珀紀的歷史。但歲月似乎未曾在上面留下分毫的痕跡,它仿佛獨立於時間的法則,將這家人庇護在永恆的平靜與美好之中。 父親要求長兄、二哥和長姐接受政治教育,他希望能將這顆星球的未來交給他們中的某一位。至於格妮薇兒和其他弟弟妹妹…父親只希望他們能在這個安寧的樂園中,度過平靜幸福的一生。 格妮薇兒愛父親。在面對政敵時,他像刺尾蟒一樣可怕;但面對女兒時,他又像極了一隻龐大又溫暖的山嶽絨兔。 在她的記憶中,父親願意為她做任何事,甚至肯在她盛大的生日會上,扮演被女英雄格妮薇兒斬殺的地靈。要知道,這種權臣家孩子的生日會,可是會有政敵到場的——為了讓她開心,父親根本不在乎落人口實。 後來,格妮薇兒長大了一些。她開始聽到一些風言風語——父親架空王權、謀害忠良、貪得無厭…她願意相信這些都是政敵的謊言,但她知道這些並不都是謊言。 但很快,這些就都不再重要了。 反物質軍團大舉入侵,父親率軍守護王都,寸土不讓。死訊傳來時,格妮薇兒暈倒了。再次醒來時,她已被塞進了一艘飛艇。弟弟妹妹們在身邊抽泣,長兄和長姐被繩子捆得嚴嚴實實,二哥無奈地說:「先別給他們倆鬆綁啊,他們不肯逃的。」 格妮薇兒望向舷窗外,母親身披戎裝,背對着逐漸升空的飛艇,指揮着不願坐以待斃的家丁。在稍遠一些的地方,虛卒們正在拆毀護國公府邸。在更遠一些的地方,整條街都在燃燒,焦黑的屍體像泥土似地散落各處。 對年幼的格妮薇兒來說,她的整個世界被人從銀河中抹除了。 …… 我本來自那域外的朝廷卡美洛,有着兄弟姐妹一十二個。 日子本是平安又喜樂,怎料得那燼滅禍祖造作了兵禍。 父母親操起干戈抗敵報國,也無奈軍團勢如破竹我家亡國破。 長兄帶着弟妹幾個東漂西泊,流落到公司的礦星上傍人籬落。 爭搶些殘羹冷炙草間求活,也免不得風急天高牛衣病臥。 長兄本是個苦勞人,色厲膽薄,終被人逼成了草寇,銀海翻波。 他只劫商旅從不打家劫舍,人都說他是草莽的英雄濟貧扶弱。 他帶着那數百個窮鬼成群結夥,佔山為王將我們弟妹養活。 ……
Character Story: Part II • Unlocked at Character Level 40
As a child, Guinevere's entire world was the Lord Protector's mansion and the bustling streets before its doors.
Her teachers said that her family has a long and distinguished history, and even this mansion has stood for a few Amber Eras. However, time did not seem to leave any traces on its stones. As if it stood apart from the rules of time and space, it forever protected this family in eternal peace and joy.
Her father trained Guinevere's eldest brother, second-eldest brother, and eldest sister in politics. He wished to hand the future of this planet to one of the three. As for Guinevere and her younger siblings... He only wished they would have a quiet and happy life in this tranquil paradise.
Guinevere loved her father. He was as terrifying as a ridge-tailed python when facing his political enemies. Yet in her presence, he softened and became warm and cozy, like a big fuzzy mountain hare.
She remembered that her father would do anything for her. He would even willingly play the role of an earth spirit to be struck down by Guinevere, the heroine, at her birthday party. The birthday parties of upper-class children would often have the family's enemies turn up as well — However, her father didn't care at all about being a laughingstock for all the attendees. He was happy as long as she could be happy.
Then, Guinevere grew up a bit. She started to hear rumors — How her father made the king a puppet, persecuted the honest courtiers, and gluttonously gained riches... She was willing to believe that all these were lies spread by his enemies. However, she knew not all of them were lies.
Soon, however, these concerns ceased to matter.
Everything changed when the Antimatter Legion attacked. Her father led the army to protect the royal capital, refusing to back down. Guinevere fainted when she heard the news of his death. She was already sitting inside a space shuttle when she woke up again. Her younger siblings were sobbing next to her, while her eldest brother and eldest sister were bound tightly in ropes. Her second-eldest brother said to her in a despondent tone, "Don't untie them just yet. They are still trying to go back."
Guinevere looked outside the window. Her mother was dressed in armor and had her back turned to the space shuttle slowly lifting off, taking command of servants who were still willing to fight. Further away, the Voidrangers were tearing apart the Lord Protector's mansion. Even further, entire streets were on fire, with charred corpses scattered everywhere like heaps of soil.
For little Guinevere, it was like her entire world had been erased from the cosmos.
...
My home world, Court Camelot. My siblings, a dozen lot. Our days, peace and joy to boot. Until Ruin Author led woes afoot. Nation breached, arms they took. Legion marched, defiant we stood. We siblings escaped without a root, into an IPC mine all covered in soot. Meager scraps are what we fetch, homeless and foodless at a stretch. Eldest brother, timid once was. Back-breaking work, to piracy he was forced. Mercantile he waylaid, genteel he relayed. Hero among bandits, loots for people's benefits. Hundreds of poor he led, us siblings he fed.

角色故事•三(解鎖條件:角色等級60) 小時候,父親總告訴格妮薇兒,人應當體面地活着。可誰又能在「洪堡特-σ」上體面地活着呢? 那是個荒蕪的行星。原始的藻類、真菌和地衣維繫着它勉強能支撐動物生存的大氣環境,而在那些堅強繁衍的原生物種中,幾乎沒有哪一種是對人類沒有威脅的。 如果星際和平公司沒有發現這顆行星所蘊含的礦產,應該也不會有人想要移居到這裏。 格妮薇兒在這顆貧瘠的星球上,度過了整個少女的時代。 她很擅長交朋友,與其他小孩子關係很好。窮苦人的兒子、流亡者的女兒、爛賭鬼的弟弟、殺人犯的妹妹…格妮薇兒並不在乎出身,畢竟無論他們出身於何種家庭,在這顆星球上,都同樣不一定能活到明天。 公司對此處的看管並不嚴格。除卻那些身負債務或罪案的倒霉蛋,只要交夠了應繳的稅款,公司並不會限制工人的自由。只不過,繳清了稅款之後,他們甚至未必有餘錢去鎮上的酒吧喝上一杯。 在故鄉時,父親是一家人最堅實的依靠。如今父親和故鄉都已不在,照護一家人的責任,就落到了唯一的年長者——「石牆騎士」身上。在逃離家園時,母親強硬地讓這位忠誠的老騎士與孩子們一同逃離,自己則留在故土,陪伴荒原的最後一縷塵埃。 老騎士曾是父親最親密的玩伴,而後是父親最勇敢的戰友,再來是父親最忠誠的家臣,現在…他成了孩子們的另一位「父親」。直到最後,格妮薇兒都沒能記住他的真名實姓,她更熟悉騎士的另一個名字——石牆叔叔。 十幾個飢餓的孩子,使本就捉襟見肘的經濟狀況雪上加霜。在某一夜的爭吵過後,石牆勉強同意讓三個哥哥姐姐同自己一起下礦,但無論格妮薇兒怎麼哀求,他也不肯讓她同行。 一個個夜晚過去,他變得蒼老、憔悴,肺部充滿難以癒合的創傷,脊椎再也無法像過去那樣挺拔,曾揮舞着動力錘虎虎生風的雙手如今扭曲到難以拿穩湯匙。 不久後,他死了。 石牆倒塌了,倒在黎明到來前,沒有發出一絲聲響。像沙灘上的城堡在潮汐漲落之間消退,像冬日的枯枝在風中輕輕墜地,像註定要到來的結局。 而石牆之外,是只有風雨冰霜的世界。 哥哥們變成星際海盜,是那之後不久的事。格妮薇兒能吃飽飯了,可她也隱約感到,自己進一步違背了父親的訓誡,走向了更加不體面的人生。 所以,當公司的士兵們給格妮薇兒戴上手銬,和弟弟妹妹們一起移交給雲騎軍的時候,她長舒了一口氣。 人們都說仙舟人特別善良,她想,雲騎軍一定願意讓我們一家體面地死在一起。 …… 誰曾想長兄他一時昏了頭,竟劫了艘商船它來自仙舟。 仙舟人剛直嫉惡如仇,有雷霆的手段似風馳雨驟。 長兄他被人剿了匪,降心俯首,只求軍爺對我們弟妹高抬貴手。 剿匪的軍爺亦是宅心仁厚,將我全家都請回了仙舟。 寬仁了我家長兄的一顆人頭,更為了我弟妹的生計苦苦籌謀。 弟妹們進了學宮識文斷字,咱這兒的悠姐對我把本事傳授。 長兄勸我學完了本事高飛遠走,可知恩不報非讓人說我不如禽獸。 誰曾想在這金人巷我把能耐展露,從貧苦的兒女到如今那是名利雙收。 ……
Character Story: Part III • Unlocked at Character Level 60
When Guinevere was young, her father always told her that humans should live with dignity. However, who could manage that on Hombert-σ?
It was a barren planet. Primitive algae, fungi, and lichen maintained an atmosphere barely able to support animal life. Among the endemic species that stubbornly proliferated in that world, almost all of them existed as genuine threats to humanity.
Had the Interastral Peace Corporation not discovered the mineral ores hidden in the heart of this planet, no humans would have wanted to move here anyways.
Guinevere passed all of her teenage years on this poverty-stricken planet.
She was good at making friends and was on good terms with the other kids. The son of the poor man, the daughter of the refugee, the brother of the gambler, or the sister of the murderer... Guinevere did not care about people's background. No matter what kind of families people are from, they were equally at risk of perishing before the arrival of tomorrow on this planet.
The IPC didn't keep a tight eye on this place. Except for those with debts or criminal charges, the IPC didn't limit the workers' freedom as long as they paid their taxes. However, if they did pay their taxes, they might not have enough money left to even buy a drink at the town's bar.
Her father was the most reliable backbone of the family back home. Now that both father and home were lost, the duty of looking after the family fell on the shoulders of the only senior in the group — the Stone-Wall Knight. Back when they had to flee their home, the mother sternly demanded that this loyal old knight escape with the children, while she stayed behind in their homeland to watch over the last speck of dust on their barren planet.
The old knight was once her father's closest playmate, then her father's most courageous comrade in battle, then her father's most loyal servant. And now... he became another "father" for the children. Guinevere didn't manage to remember his real name even till the end. She was more familiar with the knight's other name — Uncle Stone-Wall.
A dozen starving children made their dwindling finances even worse. After a night of arguments, Stone-Wall reluctantly agreed to have the three eldest children go to work in the mines with him. However, no matter how much Guinevere begged, he refused to let her go with them.
Night after night passed. Stone-Well [sic] grew old and withered. His lungs became full of incurable scars, and his spine no longer stood as tall as in years past. His hands, once able to swing a kinetic hammer majestically on the battlefield, have been deformed till he could no longer hold a spoon.
Soon, he died.
The stone wall fell. It fell before the dawn arrived, and it didn't make a single sound. It was like a sand castle receding as the tides swelled and fell, like the soft descent of winter's withered boughs in a breeze, like an ending doomed to arrive.
Only a world of hoarfrost exists beyond the stone wall.
Her elder brothers soon became interstellar pirates. Guinevere can fill her stomach again. However, she was also faintly aware that she had further strayed from her father's creed and embarked on a life even less respectable.
Therefore, when the IPC's soldiers put cuffs on Guinevere and handed her over to the Cloud Knights together with her younger siblings, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
People all claim the folks of the Xianzhou are very kind. She thought that the Cloud Knights would definitely allow her entire family to die together in dignity.
...
Folly befell my brother's mind. A Xianzhou ship, his raid entwined Those of Xianzhou, just and upright. Thunder and storm, willed in their might. To Xianzhou, my brother offered compliance. For us siblings, he pleaded forbearance. Xianzhou knights, blessed with grace. Xianzhou fleet, we get to embrace. Our brother pardoned, our burdens lessened. To the school, our young'uns go. Teaching skills was my dear Ms. Yo. A future elsewhere, brother urged me to prepare. Gratitude to pay, I chose here to stay. In Aurum Alley I shine. Fame and fortune, I'm fine.

角色故事•一(解鎖條件:角色等級20) 「她呀,是個奇怪的孩子。我早就知道會這樣,她出生的那天,雲雀在樹上鳴叫,月亮的淡影和初升的朝陽一起印在天上,手裏的紙牌告訴我,一個眷戀過去的靈魂即將來到人世。從小時候開始,她最感興趣的事情就是追問那些曾經的故事。她好奇我們是怎麼來的,誰創造了我們,這個世界又是怎麼來的,有時候那些問題讓最博學的人也啞口無言。我知道有很多孩子笑她,但那些問題不重要嗎?生命是一座迂迴的迷宮,除了記憶,我們一無所有。」 ——一位母親的回憶 患上失憶症的母親變得健忘,無法辨認家人,也無法回憶起片刻之前發生的事情。 拿着失憶症的診斷書,她緊緊擁抱手足無措的母親,試圖將她留下的日記重新讀給她聽——母親就在那,可母親究竟在哪呢? 她陪伴着母親到達了生命的出口。但她明白,從記憶變得支離破碎的那一天起,母親的自身就越來越模糊了。如果有一天連她的記憶也變得支離破碎,母親便會徹底離她而去。 「生命是一座迂迴的迷宮,除了記憶,我們一無所有。」她第一次理解了這句話的含義。

"She's quite an unusual kid, and I could sense it from the day she was born. It felt like nature itself was celebrating her arrival: The birds chirped, the moon and sun were together in the sky. The cards in my hand seemed to hint at the emergence of a soul steeped in nostalgia. Right from her early years, she had a fascination with stories from the past. She would delve deep into contemplating our origins, our creators, and even the very beginning of the world. Her questions would leave even the most erudite scholars scratching their heads. Sure, some other kids might poke fun at her for asking such deep questions, but aren't those questions important? Life is akin to a winding labyrinth, where memories serve as our sole companions."
— A mother's memories
Afflicted with amnesia, her mother struggled with forgetfulness, making it difficult for her to recognize her family or recall recent events. Clutching the diagnosis of amnesia, she held her mother tightly, attempting to read aloud from the latter's diary. Her mother was physically present, but where was she in the realm of consciousness?
She stayed by her mother's side until the end of her life, realizing that her mother had been fading away as her memories became fragmented. If her own memories of her mother were to ever become blurred as well, her mother would completely slip away from her.
"Life is akin to a winding labyrinth, where memories serve as our sole companions." For the first time, she comprehended the profound meaning behind these words.

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佈…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。 她指着雜草生長的地方,那裏留着打磨的痕跡。 『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。』她撫摸着石頭上的刻痕。 『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。

"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."

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.

角色故事•三(解鎖條件:角色等級60) 「許多人沉湎於過去的美好,幻想能活在回憶中,所以他們想要成為憶者。可惜,這樣的人往往會變成為所欲為的焚化工,隨意將回憶篡改成自己喜歡的樣子。但她不一樣…我看到了她對於記憶本身的尊重,以及強烈的意志與決心。按照慣例,成為憶者前的三個問題,她的回答如下: 『你是否願意用盡你的一生去收集記憶?』 『我願意。』 『你是否願意為此放棄肉身,接受自我的異變?』 『我願意。』 『如果有一天你不復存在,你會給世界留下什麼?』 『我的記憶。那裏有過去的種子,它會在未來重生。』 有些記憶瑣碎而溫暖,有些記憶宏大而浩瀚,有些記憶像寵物一樣溫馴,有些記憶則像猛獸一樣難以控制…而她成為憶者的那一刻,她的記憶變得安靜而平和,仿佛洶湧的海浪遇到了屬於自己的港灣。」 ——一位憶者的回憶 「想到了什麼?」憶者問道。 她睜開眼,記憶的碎片繞着她的身邊旋轉。 「人們以為自己面對的是現在與未來,卻無人知曉我們其實都在走向過去。」
Character Story: Part III • Unlocked at Character Level 60
Many individuals obsess over the glory of the past and aspire to become Memokeepers, longing to live within their memories. Such individuals often degenerate into unbridled Cremators, distorting memories to suit their preferences. However, she is different... I've sensed her unwavering determination and profound respect for memories themselves. Following tradition, I asked her three questions before making her a Memokeeper.
"Are you willing to dedicate your entire life to collecting memories?" "I am." "Are you prepared to relinquish your physical form and accept the transformation?" "I am." "If one day you cease to exist, what legacy will you leave behind for the world?" "My memories. They are seeds from the past and will be reborn in the future."
Memories come in various forms. Some are trivial and heartwarming, while others are grand and expansive. Some are gentle and meek, while others are wild and untamed... When she became a Memokeeper, her memories became tranquil and serene, like the calm waves that finally found their destined harbor.
— A Memokeeper's memories
"What comes to your mind?" The Memokeeper asked. As she opened her eyes, fragments of memories swirled around her. "People tend to believe they are facing the present and the future, yet fail to realize that we are all, in fact, moving toward the past."
