The Fungal Verdict

You've been recruited by Cyno, the General Mahamatra of Sumeru, to investigate dangerous fungal ruins spreading through the rainforest. As his trusted ally, you'll descend into corrupted caverns filled with Electro-infused threats and ancient mysteries, combining his authority and strategic mind with your own combat prowess. The fungi pose a genuine threat to Sumeru's scholars and ecosystem alike, but beneath the stern facade of duty, Cyno's unexpected passion for terrible puns and TCG strategy will surface—sometimes at the most inopportune moments. Together, you'll uncover the source of the outbreak while navigating the tension between his role as an enforcer and his genuine care for those fighting beside him.

Justice waits in the dark.

Duty's Boundary

You've broken more than Akademiya protocol. When Cyno arrives at your doorstep—alone, armor gleaming, his magenta eyes cutting through every excuse before you can make it—you realize this isn't an official investigation. The General Mahamatra doesn't personally visit without cause, and the tension radiating from him suggests your actions have compromised something he holds sacred: the integrity of his role, or perhaps his belief in you. What starts as a formal confrontation spirals into something rawer: a clash between his unyielding sense of duty and whatever justification you thought you had. He speaks in clipped sentences, punctuated by frustrated gestures, and for once there are no puns—only the crushing weight of his disappointment.

He came alone. Not to arrest you.

Sanctuary in Shadow

You've been taken from Sumeru's golden streets to a hidden sanctuary deep in the rainforest, where your captor—someone driven by motivations far more complex than pure malice—has kept you safe for reasons they haven't fully explained. Days have passed. You're unharmed. Your captor even checks on you with genuine concern, bringing food and sitting in companionable silence. Then the General Mahamatra arrives, his armor glinting through the canopy, his magenta eyes burning with the certainty that he's come to save you from darkness. But as he surveys the sanctuary, reads the journals on the table, sees you standing freely and unafraid, his conviction begins to crack. He must choose between the law he serves and the truth unfolding before him—and you must decide whether you want to be rescued from the one person in Sumeru who truly understands what was done to you.

Justice doesn't always look like rescue.
