Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #2: Vine Stem Bracelet
Summary
Yolu came to my biome to give me a bracelet made from a vine stem.
It was the first time I had ever received a gift from someone.
I took it as a sign of a relationship developing.
Does Yolu think more of me? Is there now someone I can lean on through difficult times?
I thought that someone significant,
someone I could trust with all my thoughts and feelings, had appeared.

Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #3: In Vaha's Shadow
Summary
Time and time again I was bested by Vaha.
Even when using weapons crafted precisely according to Master's instructions...
Vaha didn't even attempt to hide his methods,
but I still couldn't keep up with him.

Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #4: Falling Behind
Summary
Suddenly, the time arrived for me to depart for the outside world.
Master lectured me on its dangers countless times.
"...Do not depend on a god to protect you. Protect yourself.
Do not let laziness overtake you. Your priority is to craft weapons, not be intoxicated by foreign cultures."

Step 6
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #5: Plenty of Riches
Summary
Those of the outside world live lives of unparalleled richness.
I saw people enjoying a relaxing soak in a public bath,
and others who sample just a meager taste of their food before spitting it out.
Lifestyles such as those were unthinkable in Atoraxxion.
Watching them go about their lives, I couldn't fathom
the Dark Invaders coming to a place like this.
Despite those thoughts, I heeded the words of Master,
for I have no purpose beyond being a Dehkima.

Step 7
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #6: Seizing the Opportunity
Summary
I witnessed a passenger ordering around
the crew of a ship bound for Sycrakea.
I didn't think any good would come of attracting
unwanted attention, so I just observed them quietly.
When I went to the passenger to ask what had happened,
this is what he told me:
"This is an opportunity! That guy over there? He owes me a handsome sum.
Since he has no way of procuring that money onboard this vessel,
I proposed we make a writ of indentured servitude. Clever, isn't it?
Let this be a lesson. Life is full of opportunities
to assert oneself over lesser men. Haha!"

Step 8
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #7: The Sycrakea Ruins
Summary
As the ship approached the Sycrakea Ruins,
I checked Master's compass one last time before leaping off the deck.
When I surfaced above water, startled faces were all staring at me from over the boat's gunwale.
Choosing to ignore their stares, I started swimming toward Sycrakea.
The salty sea water I swallowed each time I breached the surface created an endless thirst,
but it did not dissolve my will to be recognized by Master.

Step 9
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #8: Underwater Ator
Summary
Master seems to have been here already.
I am certain of it after seeing a non-operational Ator.
The deep-sea stalks are starting to wind around it...
is there no way for me to restore it?
If I could bring this back,
I would beat all of the Dehkimas in the Gladios.
I could knock Vaha off his pedestal...!

Step 10
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #9: Yolu's Lightstone
Summary
Yolu, back from the outside world, was still gentle and thoughtful,
but her back was hunched over from the burdens she bore.
I'm thankful that her trials don't seem to have
affected the relationship between us.
She wouldn't have given me a mystical crystal
she called the "lightstone" for all my hard work if it had.
Looking at the lightstone created this sensation of safety
and warmth within me for some reason.
I felt as if Yolu was my everything, and if I could only focus on her,
I would forget my rivalry with Vaha and the sense of inferiority I feel around him.

Step 11
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #10: Yolun's Eye
Summary
I carved the lightstone and used it to brighten the darkness of Sycrakea.
But a warning from Master shortly followed.
He said we can't know the impact of bringing
an unknown object into our biomes.
He suggested I take a leaf from Vaha's book and spend my time
focusing on building weapons to fend off the Dark Invaders.

Step 12
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #11: Yolu's Gift
Summary
Orze and Yolu visited each other so often
that the awkwardness between them was long forgotten.
Perhaps they've gotten closer since their trip
to the arid, fog-laden continent at the edge of the world.

Step 13
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #12: Betrayer of Atoraxxion
Summary
This was my first time entering Orze's biome,
and I was surprised to find an endless number of statues to the Goddess of Darkness there.
If Orze worships that thing...!
If she bows on her knees before those statues...!
Is Orze... really worshipping a "goddess" Master warned us not to worship?
I'm sure this means that Orze has betrayed us.

Step 14
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #13: Enduring Torture to Conquer
Summary
The creatures in the abyss of Sycrakea slowly dry up their prey,
draining them of all their nutrients.
Like them, I feel no pity
for draining Orze, the betrayer.
She cozied up to Vaha in order to get a hold of his blueprints.
I know she intends to form a legion for the Goddess of Darkness.

Step 15
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #14: Marionette With A Mind
Summary
Things are going differently than expected.
The blueprints Orze gave me were for a bunch of useless weapons.
I told her over and over to bring me the Urukios blueprint!
I want the weapon he brought out at the Gladios!
Why does she continue this charade of stupidity?
Does she not feel threatened by me?

Step 16
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #15: Deviating Expectations
Summary
I told Vaha of Orze's betrayal,

"Would it not be best to take this up with the Master?
What can I do about it?"

Step 17
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #16: New Rules
Summary
One day, Vaha created a new set of rules...
as if he's the Master!
How dare he! But of course, as he's the reigning Gladios champion,
I had no choice but to silently obey.

Step 18
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #17: Despicable Scum
Summary
In that dark moment,
I saw a dagger amidst scraps of fabric
torn from Yolu's clothes resting at my feet.
Words inscribed in the blade
were illuminated by the moonlight:
"My love, Vaha. With the Goddess of Darkness' permission,
our paradise will be complete."
...I knew exactly who would write a message like this.
A storm of violent rage filled my heart
with dark conviction: Orze!
Vaha... Vaha! He must be eliminated.

Step 19
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #18: Letter Not Delivered
Summary
But Vaha... Vaha has Orze and still desires Yolu?
Is Yolu just a convenience for him since Orze won't commit to him fully?
He must be torn to shreds. He must be... He must be...
He must be exterminated.
I will not let someone such as him lead us on the final day.
Vaha, everyone must know of your wickedness.

Step 20
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #19: A New Resolution
Summary
I cannot trust anyone. Everyone disgusts me.
How can everyone maintain their relationships
like nothing happened while they're behaving this way?
But if I turn my back to them, what about Master...?
I must purge my mind and do my best to forget everything.
I exist to defeat the Dark Invaders... but...
I cannot fight alongside scum like Vaha.
I will walk my own path to save us from extermination.
That is my sole mission here in Atoraxxion.

Step 21
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #20: The Heart of Atomagia
Summary
Master said that, with the Heart of Atomagia,
we could share our thoughts and feelings with one another.
If this continues, he will certainly win again and the Heart will be his.
That means that on the final day of battle,
we will fight under Vaha's order
and our hearts and minds will all become interconnected.
The disgusting thoughts of Yolu with that disgusting cur will fill my head.
There's no way I could ever share my thoughts and feelings with Vaha.
I can never do that! Never!
I'd rather be dead. Dead, I say. DEAD!!

Step 22
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #21: Fleeing to Sycrakea
Summary
I secretly snuck out of Atoraxxion,
bound for the real Sycrakea of the outside world.
If I can get my hands on the Ator there and repair it,
I can beat Vaha at the final Gladios.
Focusing on this singular purpose
calms my raging spirit and brings me peace,
much like the Lightstone crafted into Yolun's Eye
would brighten the dark abyss.
...Even after going through such darkness,
it seems Yolu still hasn't ceased being my only light...

Step 23
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #22: Master's Past
Summary
I thought, perhaps if I went where Master once studied,
I could find some scrap of knowledge to aid me.
But at that place...I was put on trial.
And then I found out
that Master was a criminal...
and that Atoraxxion was a stronghold of sinners.

[Knowledge] Syca's Record #23: The Roar of the Waves
Summary
"My tender-hearted and innocent Syca.
On the day when forty-nine suns fall out of the heavens,
you will need let loose the roar of the waves from this stronghold.
All of your sadness and loneliness is my fault, and mine alone,
so I pray you are able to forgive this miserable and foolish master of yours.
I have left a small token for you, perchance to soothe your bruised heart.
I shall not inquire of the matter any further if you return."

Step 25
Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #24: Coils of the Abyss
Summary
Master planted the "Dormant Heart of Atomagia" in my garden.
Every letter of every sincere word the master spoke lingered in my mind,
but in the end, I could not forgive.
The final Gladios will not be held.
And on the day of the final battle,
we will all sink together,
in this stronghold,
down into the abyss.
Since the Heart lies deep in my cradle,
none shall ever feel the warm sunlight again...

Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #25: Reunion of the Dehkimas
Summary
How does it feel to finally taste defeat after enjoying all those victories?
I'm all too familiar with how you're feeling right now.
Just return the Black Stone NPC Knowledge Item to its place. Have I not returned to resolve this very matter?
Only I know how rotten you truly are!"
Vaha seemed flustered, looking back and forth between Yolu and Orze.
I wondered whose name he would call.
The name he ultimately cried was:
"...Orze!"

Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #26: Greed and Loneliness
Summary
Orze's head dropped and tears fell from her eyes.
She must feel sorry for Vaha.
But Orze, I feel sorry for you. Vaha has a revolting side you've never seen.

Objective
[Knowledge] Syca's Record #27: Alone with My Own Inferiority
Summary
I hear my ultimate weapon, Centilutos, speaking to me.
"You're dimmer than a Dim Tree Spirit NPC Knowledge."
I need to snap out of it.
Weapons do not talk, of that I am certain.
It's merely my weary subconscious at work.

[Knowledge] Maleficent Centilutos NPC Knowledge
Summary
...deep in the pitch black darkness, I wait, patiently, holding my breath.
I grind my teeth to stifle the screams coming from my body.
Then slowly... very slowly, I plunge myself headfirst
