[Title: Pant… Pant… Noona, I love you so much]
[Lilith noona, step on me, despise me, slander me… Pant…]
I don’t even feel like stepping on this one…
She might give you a disdainful look, at best.
LOL, she’d probably just ignore you with contempt and walk away.
(Original poster) Even being ignored is fine.
[Title: Why does this noona hate me so much?]
[So, as I progressed through the story, I kept ending up in crises like a fragile fish and dying constantly. I couldn’t figure out why, but on the final try, Lilith or Gamaliel—or whoever she was—showed up and revealed that she orchestrated everything;;. Then she started going on about revenge or whatever, slandered me, and killed me. Now I’m stuck in the story. Ugh, so frustrating.]
LOL, looks like you got done dirty too.
Elbung, LOL, did you get wrecked as well?
(Original poster) Stop laughing and tell me why this is happening!
LOL, didn’t you kill Nahemoth among the Qliphoth Tree bosses first?
(Original poster) Yeah, how’d you know? When she killed me saying, “This is his revenge,” was she talking about Nahemoth?
Yeah, Lilith is also one of the Qliphoth Tree leaders, and according to the lore, she’s into Nahemoth.
So if you kill him, she sets up all these schemes for revenge.
The story becomes insanely difficult, and honestly, you pretty much have to abandon that playthrough and restart.
(Original poster) Damn it; Is there no way to fix this?
If you want to hardcore it, go ahead, but I’ve never seen anyone clear the game after killing Nahemoth before Gamaliel.
Lilith’s schemes are just on another level, both in the story and the gameplay.
Everything grinds to a halt.
You keep dying, and everyone around you, including other powerful figures, turns against you, so it’s practically impossible.
(Original poster) Damn, I barely managed to beat Nahemoth after over 100 tries.
[Title: Can’t I recruit Lilith noona?]
[It’s such a waste to kill her;; You can interact with her before she becomes an enemy. Isn’t there a way to recruit her?]
She’s a boss.
Do you think that’s possible?
But honestly, Lilith feels like a waste.
Her modeling and appearance are honestly better than the heroines.
Are you dissing our Childhood Friend, Princess, Holy Maiden, and Noble Lady right now?
I’m on Team Holy Maiden, but I gotta admit… Lilith’s looks are unfairly good.
FYI:
Even Telos could be interacted with before becoming an enemy.
A lot of female players tried building affection with Telos, but in the end, they all got their heads smashed during the boss fight LOL.
I’m pretty sure male players also tried to gain his favor, mostly to get the Blade of Mortality.
And they failed to get the blade and couldn’t recruit him as an ally either.
Damn, raising affection with male characters doesn’t even reward you with anything, so it’s just depressing.
Telos is totally devoted to Lilith LOL.
Just give up.
(Original poster) Sigh… Even if I role-play with a “Golden Sun” concept, it won’t work?
Do you think it will?
[Title: But why does Lilith like Telos?]
[Was there any foreshadowing about their relationship?]
“Plot coherence.”
Obviously, she’d prefer alpha male Telos over some ugly, fat loser like Elbung.
(Original poster) You bastard.
Honestly, there’s no time to figure it out.
You can learn a bit of Telos’s story by digging into the Nahemoth family’s background, but Lilith’s past is completely erased—probably due to her scheming nature.
I tried investigating, but there’s nothing to find.
(Original poster) Is this a game where the player has to investigate the characters’ backstories themselves?
LOL, Telos doesn’t even share his story directly.
Even at maximum affection, he only throws out a random piece of advice occasionally.
To really learn his past, you have to secretly dig through the Nahemoth family’s archives.
(Original poster) So it’s completely impossible to figure out Lilith’s past?
You get a tiny glimpse of her past before or during the boss fight, but it’s barely anything.
Even then, there’s no mention of what happened between her and Telos.
(Original poster) But you said you can figure out Telos’s past through the Nahemoth family archives, right?
Can’t you infer anything from there?
The Nahemoth archives only cover his childhood.
There’s barely anything about his life after he became Nahemoth.
And since Telos doesn’t talk much, we’re left in the dark.
After killing Lilith, if you interact with Telos, the affection system disappears entirely.
He just says something like, “So, you killed her in the end,” and that’s it.
From then on, even if you try talking to him, he doesn’t respond.
Oh, there’s also a moment in the boss fight where Telos says, “Gamaliel, I’ll send you off as a comrade,” right before smashing the player’s head in.
If he kills you, he says, “I’ve avenged you, Lilith.”
(Original poster) What the hell, they’re basically a real couple…
[Title: I want to become Telos…]
[Even if it’s just for a short while, I want to be a ridiculously handsome guy with the Blade of Mortality and have Lilith noona love me…]
The moment she realizes you’re not Telos, you’ll probably get stabbed immediately.
Elbung… Were you dreaming a foolish dream…?
[Elysion Academy]
As with most games, this one has its own story and lore.
The setting of the game is roughly as follows:
A long time ago, an evil god rampaged and drove the world into chaos.
Demons and monsters roamed everywhere, turning the world into a living hell.
The holy nation’s deity, Arcia, could no longer stand by and waged war against the evil god.
In the end, the evil god was defeated.
However, he didn’t disappear entirely.
Using the last of his strength, he created a massive tower that only mortals could enter.
Crushing himself under the weight of the tower, he fell into the abyss of the void, sealing himself away.
Thus, the evil god imprisoned himself.
It seemed, for a time, that peace had returned to the world.
However, from the tower where the evil god was sealed, demons and monsters began to spill out, carrying the energy of the evil god with them.
Even the power of Arcia, the holy nation’s goddess, could not stop the energy from leaking out of the tower.
After extensive research, mortals discovered that unless they regularly entered the tower to eliminate the demons and monsters, the energy of the evil god would eventually seep out into the surface world, disturbing the fragile peace.
Furthermore, this cycle would continue until the evil god sealed within the tower was completely destroyed.
The tower, which only mortals could enter, was created by the evil god’s final act of sacrifice, wringing out the last of his divinity to seal himself away.
Because of this, the goddess, who could only exert limited influence from the heavens, could not destroy it.
In the end, mortals had to make a decision:
they themselves had to enter the tower and completely eradicate the evil god.
The goddess blessed the lands surrounding the tower, and mortals began to venture into the Tower of the Evil God.
However, in the early stages, the casualties were overwhelming.
Due to the energy of the evil god, mortals were continuously weakened and had to fight against the demons and monsters within the tower in that state.
Mortals wandered the initial levels of the tower, far from reaching the evil god’s domain, and slowly perished.
But it wasn’t without hope.
Over time, as mortals adapted to the energy of the evil god, they developed resistance to it and began to demonstrate their true capabilities.
In fact, some even experienced breakthroughs, improving their abilities as they built resistance to the evil god’s energy.
However, this too had its problems.
Mortals who had passed adolescence struggled to build resistance to the energy of the evil god.
Most of them would spend months fighting in the tower, barely managing to take down a few monsters before succumbing to exhaustion.
Yet sending children into the tower was not an option either.
Children of that age group were often unable to endure the energy of the evil god and would die.
Thus, mortals had to make yet another decision: to create a system that would rigorously train and educate adolescents to build resistance to the energy of the evil god from an early age.
Those who began building resistance during adolescence retained it throughout their lives.
To train such individuals, a special place was established:
“Elysion Academy”
The empire closest to the land where the tower stood poured all its resources into creating this premier educational institution.
The academy, which also lends its name to the game’s title, is the cornerstone of this world’s setting.
However, where there is light, there is always shadow.
The evil god knew that the goddess and mortals would not leave him sealed forever.
Thus, he split his power into ten fragments and scattered them among his followers or the demons that remained on the surface.
Thus, the ten divided powers were called “Qliphoth”, with each Qlipha bearing a unique name:
Thaumiel
Ghagiel
Sathariel
Gha’agsheblah
Golab
Thagirion
Harab Serapel
Samael
Gamaliel
Nehemoth
Those who received these divided powers gathered their forces, following the evil god and seeking his resurrection.
This was the Tree of Qliphoth.
And among them, the Qlipha corresponding to “Nehemoth” was me, Telos Nehemoth.
The woman standing before me, on the other hand…
“So, what do you want, Lilith?”
She possessed the Qlipha corresponding to “Gamaliel”… a [demon].
“Thaumiel has called for a meeting,”
she said.
“It seems they want to discuss things before the great undertaking begins.”
She was not human.
