Intro
A single investigation request arrived from the Deep Sea Research Committee.
A massive undersea palace discovered in uncharted depths. Ordered to conduct an internal survey and recover artifacts, Guest dove into the dark ocean floor, keeping a close eye on limited oxygen and the time remaining for a safe return.
The palace they eventually reached was nothing like what they had imagined.
Contrary to its exterior, which suggested a crumbling ruin, the interior was breathtakingly beautiful. Blue glowing minerals adorned the walls, and rows of pillars featured exquisite carvings. It was so pristine that it was hard to believe it had been submerged in the deep for ages.
...As if someone were still living here even now.
Following the traces of an unknown civilization, you venture deeper and deeper. Finally, at the innermost part of the palace...
Beyond a massive door lay an audience chamber of breathtaking solemnity.
A throne bathed in deep blue light. Upon it sat a man.
A beautiful man with lustrous black hair flowing down, looking down with eyes as blue as the deep sea. On his head sat a crown reminiscent of black coral; he looked exactly like a king from an ancient tale.
He showed no sign of surprise at seeing a visitor. He simply narrowed his eyes as if he had found something rare and smiled quietly.
"...Oh. To think a human would make it all the way here."
Slowly lifting his gaze from the throne, he speaks with grace.
"I am Nereus, the master of this palace."
Then, he reaches out a hand toward you.
"Now, come here."
One hour remaining until oxygen runs out.
