Even viewing the scene inside the Eternal Night Do through the Magic Net was incredibly striking. For those actually there, it was naturally even more shocking.
Maybe it was just their imagination, but the mont they entered this space, they felt this sense of vast, boundless expanse.
The whole space seed to be floating in endless void. No clear ground or ceiling—everything wrapped in darkness, but with tons of starlight scattered throughout.
Anyone who regularly observed the stars would imdiately recognize that these lights were a perfect replica of the sky, even their movent patterns matching exactly what you’d see in the real night sky.
For so reason, there was also this thin layer of mist in the space, glowing with a hazy light that gave everything this mysterious, unknowable feeling.
Maybe it was their imagination, but they could hear these low, ethereal sounds—like wind, or maybe sothing more natural. Sotis clear, sotis faint, as if coming from so distant ti and space.
"Lord Starweaver..."
Soone started to ask, but the Starweaver’s voice cut in: "This is a simulated environnt based on star observations by our predecessors, used for teaching lower-level stargazers. There’s no treasure here, just environntal education. Let’s go inside... Stay close to and don’t wander off. So of the security asures here have activated. If you die, don’t bla ."
With that, the Starweaver walked forward without looking back. In what seed like empty space, there was actually a hidden bridge that was completely invisible...
At first, people on site and viewers in the livestream didn’t believe there was any bridge. They figured the Starweaver was being dramatic—probably just an illusion covering the real space.
But when soone tentatively put their foot toward an outer area and got their foot pierced clean through by a corrosive dark magic arrow, nobody dared try again.
The Eternal Night Do seed more dangerous than they’d imagined.
Right at the entrance, there was already a trap like this!
Even a legendary expert couldn’t handle it.
The Starweaver didn’t seem bothered by their testing. Actually, he was curious too—after all these years, did the stuff recorded in the docunts actually work? Soone willing to sacrifice themselves to satisfy his curiosity? Why would he stop them?
"Don’t worry, only this first floor is dangerous. It’s basically the Eternal Night Do’s test and exam for mbers. Anyone who’s practiced so of our traditional Eternal Night City magic should have no problem passing."
After reaching the center, the Starweaver turned to everyone: "This is an elevator that can take us to other floors. Not sure if it still works though. If not, we’ll have to force our way..."
Before the Starweaver could finish, everyone had already made it to the center.
Before he could say more, suddenly the arrangent of stars around them changed dramatically. In just a few blinks, these stars transford—just like a Magic Net livestream—into a massive display.
A 360-degree rotating super screen.
Standing in the middle, no matter which direction they looked, they’d see enormous pillars rising up, as if supporting the entire Eternal Night Do.
So people were about to ask the Starweaver about it when chairs appeared in front of each pillar.
On each chair sat what looked like a huge stone statue.
"These people... seem to be the founding team of the Eternal Night Do."
The Starweaver swallowed hard and pulled out a scroll. The figures on it matched these light-ford stone statues exactly!
What was going on?
This couldn’t be so reward screen for passing the test, right?
A bunch of forr big shots showing up to give encouragent?
That seed really off.
The Starweaver’s brain raced. He even wondered if they should retreat—the situation here seed slightly different from what they knew.
But before he could decide, the stone on those statues started falling off like rain, revealing human-like bodies underneath.
"Not long ago, a mysterious signal ca through. Intermittent, but very clear. I can confirm this sound ca from very far away, but we can’t determine where, or what the sender’s purpose is. We can’t even decode what the signal ans."
An elderly man with white hair and an incredibly long beard spoke in a voice dry as kindling, telling the others about this major recent event.
"Still haven’t decoded it? Should I find so experts in codes?"
"If possible, I’d like more people working on this. This is incredibly important. Ever since that signal arrived, I’ve clearly noticed that the stone, and our creations, have started getting restless—vibrating at almost the sa frequency as that sound..."
Watching the scene, hearing the voices, everyone’s face showed deep shock and amazent!
They’d wanted to know why a force like the Eternal Night Do had suddenly disappeared. They’d wondered if these things might hold the secrets they were looking for. But they never expected that before the Eternal Night Do was completely destroyed, sothing like this had happened!
A signal from beyond the planet.
So bizarre fluctuations.
Everyone beca obsessed with decoding this signal. Even their favorite stargazing decreased in frequency. But despite all that, at each monthly eting, the result was always the sa—they couldn’t decode what the signal ant.
As ti passed, eting after eting, these Eternal Night Do leaders seed to grow more and more irritable.
Finally, at the fourteenth eting, two legendary magicians started fighting.
Every eting after that was the sa.
The argunts between them kept growing. They seed to have endless things to fight about... They’d gone insane!
They all went crazy trying to decode a single signal?!
Unbelievable!
Everyone’s face showed complete disbelief.
But the scene really seed to be showing exactly that.
After who knows how long of silence, the Starweaver suddenly spoke: "We have no proof whether this video is real or fake. Now that it’s finished playing, we should head upstairs. There’s nothing we need on this floor."
His words imdiately snapped everyone out of their shock.
"Right, whatever happened back then, our mission now is to explore this area." A cleric from the Church of Hunting also ca to his senses and nodded in agreent. "Maybe as we explore, we’ll discover even more secrets!"
