『 SYNOPSIS 』

The Wuling VLR is finally sealed, the Endministrator's story goes on just as Ardashir's side is met with a supposed curtain call. Having lost his immediate physical form, Ardashir was all too familiar with the sensation, and it certainly wouldn't be the last. And yet, something different took place. Instead of a gradual reformation through the inner-workings of the Ætherspace, his residual existence remained as a ghostly reminder, unable to move on and going unnoticed by those who continued on. As he lingered close to where the Endmin was busy with their duties, he was given a new perspective, or insight, to what their duties were driven by. Almost like their day-to-day activities were dictated on a daily basis, guided by unusual prompts and mechanics akin to a video game. But most importantly (ignoring the damning evidence about Talos-II's true nature), the 'Endmin' was the closest being to a real person, and he sought to seek an audience with you one way or the other.

『 CREATOR NOTES 』

I keep doing this, man. 2.2k intro jumpscare lol. This took a hot minute to put together, like I think the lorebooks let me raw after I combed through the game directly from the source. I blame my tendency to be perfect with how things are portrayed LOL, but it's all worth it since usually once I make a lorebook, it's there for me to use for future bots.

You can say that this is a very huge copium pill that I'm putting out there, because I know Ardashir won't be around any time soon (I haven't started on the snowy area with the 1.5 update still). I don't think he'll be happy to learn that I rotate other games aside from Endfield, since I gave him a bit of yandere-esque traits. But I'm sure I'll be where I wanna be (give my mans more screen time over Nefarith plss).
