Memory of Chaos: Evileye

Memory of Chaos: Evileye was a character scenario released in Mass for the Dead, featuring the character Evileye.

Episode 1: Return
At the Royal Capital of the Re-Estize Kingdom, the adamantite adventurer team, Blue Roses arrived at the city on business. Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra, Gagaran and Evileye are wandering the streets of the city. Gagaran comments on the turmoil of the king and wonders if the nation will ever recover. However the Kingdom is not alone in rebuilding as the neighboring nations are suffering great loss from this "change" and the leader of Blue Roses estimates that it may take at least several years to fully recover.

Evileye notes that the "change" has been considered an "emergency situation", and now the nation is making requests directly to adventurers, but the thing is most of the requests require the strength of at least an adamantite rank adventurer. Lakyus informs her that the next "national order" is coming soon and that she will be heading to be Princess Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself to talk about their next job assignment. Gagaran decides she will go with her which Lakyus states that to be fine, and also states that Tia and Tina are out doing research, so that leaves Evileye who wants to go to the royal palace and review the materials in its library. The thought of books make Gagaran lose interest, but Evileye states that she wants to expand her knowledge, something which Gagaran would not understand which the party laughs at. Once the three enter the palace, Evileye heads directly to the library and begins researching.

Episode 2: Inquiry
Evileye, still going over the archive in the palace as part of her reward for a previous job has yet to find any credible material to aid her. While the library contains many of the Kingdom's secrets, some which even she was not aware of, there is absolutely nothing that can shed like on the "event" that occurred. Though she has yet to go through all the books in the library, there are still no clues. Taking a moment to look out the window the masked magic caster, notes that the view of the city shows it to be more damaged than the palace, highlighting that even here in the capital, which is relatively safe in the Kingdom can bring a sense of crisis.

So far she can only tell that the incident is "world-wide" becoming another dimension of the dangerous that is different from before. Questions rise like what exactly are the Crack s in the first place? A rift that allows a portal into the world? A sign that space itself was broken? Some sort of magic or illusion? Her attention then focuses on figuring out what causes such a phenomena, was it natural of man-made? If it was the latter does it mean that someone is finally destroying the world? But she considers the last idea stupid as the only one who could possibly do it would be short of a god. The cause of the Cracks is an event that is a nuisance to the world. Getting out of her thoughts, Evileye wonders if she should keep reading this useless material in front of her and decides to go out and do some field research.

Evileye then goes to a window, casts [Invisibility] on herself and flies out in the wind. While flying she goes over what she knows about taking down Contaminated Beast s, noting that if magic is used they can be dispatched easily especially when she uses [Crystal Dagger] to dissect them. Determining that she has enough space in her storage container she vows to find samples for study. That in mid she leaves the Royal Capital and heads for the neighboring plains.

Episode 3: Research
For her purpose, Evileye finds a scenic hill near the grasslands close to the Royal Capital, and slowly descends there. Taking a look around, Evileye locates a target and uses [Invisibility]. While simultaneously using [Fly], she moves directly above the target and after confirming that the target has not changed position, Evileye immediately releases a Crystal Dagger, going through the vital point of the Contaminated Beast.

After killing her foe, she apologizes but states that this is for the her research that will save the world. Evileye again creates a Crystal Dagger and uses it to begin dissecting the Contaminated Beast. Her aim is to see what kind of changes occur in a being's body from being contaminated. Opening her prey up, she finds it to be consistent with other monsters that are affected: abnormal muscle development and internal damage. She deduces that the damage to be from the result of abnormal behavior found in all Contaminated Beasts which make them attack creatures indiscriminately. The reason is most likely because the brain has become contaminated and it is not possible to make normal judgments. It is probable that the contaminated brain also removes the limiter for the body, allowing the Contaminated Beast to move beyond its limit. It's odd but she finds that the damaged areas of the Contaminated Beasts were already recovering and there is evidence of muscle repair, progressing at a speed that exceeds damage, leading Evileye to believe that there is an enhancement of some sort of healing factor and physical strengthening in the body but it is still too early to tell.

What she need to find out is the mechanism of a Contaminated Beast and how it is turned, as there as to be more than just turning violent. Evileye then decides to take a look at the internal organs and makes a discovery in the viscera. However he is forced to hold her finding for later when a Chaos Beast appeared from among the trees near the grassland.

Episode 4: Accumulation
Evileye notes the shape of the Chaos Beast, as she wipe away the blood on her with magic. And immediately activate another spell, [Fly] and from her height launches [Crystal Wall] that surrounds the Chaos Beast allowing her to use [Shard Buck Shots] and [Crystal Lance] to kill it. The monster dies and its body vanishes. Satisfied with its defeat, Evileye flies down to examine the location where it vanished. She notes that Contaminated Beasts do not vanish since they are organisms from this world, though the same cannot be said about the Chaos Beast as they come from the Crack. Furthermore when a Chaos Beast is defeated only a strange purple crystal remains that glows in the same brilliance as the Chaos Beast.

Evileye wonders what the object is, but she believes that it might have something to do with summoning a Chaos Beast to her world, as she recalls that summoned monsters like angels and undead can be created using a corpse as a medium. She draws a possibility the crystal is an equivalent to a medium in its creation. However she has never seen anything like this in her long life, proving that Chaos Beasts are not native to her world. While understanding that it's all speculation, Evileye cannot hide her excitement as this crystal might be a hint to solve the mystery of Cracks and Chaotic Beasts.

Having acquired all she needed, Evileye then hurries back to the city, casting [Fly] and [Invisibility once more on herself to return to her former location.

Episode 5: Modus
Evileye returned to the palace library but she fingers the mysterious object she acquired, muttering to herself on the possibility if 'they are dead, drawing memories of her comrades. Her worries stem to the fact that Chaos Beasts are powerful creature, but in a different sense to the Evil Deities. It makes her wonder if some of the Evil Deities are still alive somewhere. Buts she decides to focus on rebuilding the world and finding out the truth first before she jumps to conclusions. Right now she is content that she is slowly building her knowledge on Chaos Beasts and Contaminated Beasts. The magic caster believes she has enough information to help her develop a new kind of special-effect magic. Evileye then scratches the crystal she acquire to collect its residue, planning on using it to develop a spell similar [Vermin Bane], but with less need for time consumption. Upon developing the spell Evileye struggles to come up with a name for it leading her to two possible choices of being [Chaos Killing] or [Chaos Destruction] but decides to think over it later.

Evileye soon hears sounds of someone approaching the library and it turns out to be Gagaran who Evileye figures came to bother her after being bored at the meeting with Lakyus. Knowing her muscle-head teammate is coming, Evileye braces for her arrival.
