EO is introduced as Ellsee Raines, though the scenes with her are set 'in the past.' .
Ellsee apparently committing arson is revealed.
Ellsee suddenly gets a message from ME.
Ellsee answers ME's messages. He apologizes for not responding sooner and then discusses about the possible breakthrough in his work.
Feeling lonely and needing some reassurance, Ellsee reaches out to Arcjec, who's still in his hive, asking whether she's likable or not.
Ellsee decides to visit Arcjec's hive once more in hopes of meeting him and finally introducing herself properly.
In the present, Ellsee arrives at Arcjec's hive way too late, as his hive is in shambles but bizarrely mostly intact, with Arcjec nowhere to be found.
Ellsee quickly searches for any living creature/troll inside the hive. She sees Arcjec's lusus, frantically screaming and searching for Arcjec.
Ellsee checks out the computer and sees the memo Murrit created and had intended to exclude her from.
Ellsee messages Murrit for answers, but he coldly tells her that he knows that she cannot be trusted, and for everyone else's sake, that she should get lost.
Arcjec awakes on a gray platform inscribed with the Breath symbol, floating in a blank, stark white void. He recalls the previous happenings and the recent events.
The powerful winds seen during Arcjec's entry appears once again and in a powerful convergence of wind, it transforms before Arcjec into an unknown creature, in a form of a flash animation.
Arcjec—terrified and bewildered after the mayhem that led up to his entrance into the game—laughs hysterically at the sight of his denizen, which the denizen imitates awkwardly.
The unknown creature introduces as Zehanpuryu, the Denizen of Breath, the game and its purpose, pledging himself as Arcjec's guide. He also states that he's the Bard of Breath and beckons to find him again when he is stronger.
Zehanpuryu transforms into a gust of wind and inserts himself within the Breath platform and changes the blank planet around them into the newly formed Land of Mirage and Monochrome, the first planet of the 12 trolls to be seen.
The perspective switches to a scene wherein someone performs a revitalization experiment on a deceased troll, with partial success.
The experiment revitalizes but the troll remains unintelligent and aggressive, forcing solemnly to eliminate the troll and mark the current experiment as a failure.
ME is introduced as Occeus Coliad.
Occeus checks out his computer, seeing Ellsee had send a message and responds to her.
Ellsee informs him about her failing in meeting Arcjec personally, the memo in which she's excluded and the game they're about to play. She also informs that he's going to work with Calder within the Game.

The perspective changes back to Arcjec, now surveying his new surroundings as he was suddenly approached by one of his consorts.
Arcjec checks on the fodder and is being messaged by Ellsee and Taz. Wanting to avoid Taz, he instead answers Ellsee and she tells him that she knows more about the game.
He begrudgingly answers Taz's messages next, who harshly urges him to tell her if he's still alive.
He talks to one of his consorts, accidentally naming him "Guy". Guy tells him to prepare a weapon as he's bound to encounter to face some enemies on his journey.
Taz and Laivan team up to work on her own codes.
Ellsee creates a memo and it ends up in a disaster as Murrit, Taz and GS left and the whole memo goes off topic.
Taz and Laivan bicker as to why she acted horribly in the memo as the meteor continues to come closer.
Taz's lusus, overwhelmed by its desire to return to its natural aquatic habitat, jumps into The Black Depths as Taz overdrives her chucklevoodoos .
Taz realizes that her lusus' blood reveals the location of the codes, which had been in the rocks beneath the cliffs by her hive. She and Laivan started inputting their own codes.
Taz tries to unleashed her denizen, with the help of her Ferocity Weaver.
The denizen quickly enters the portal as Taz follows suit.
The denizen of Rage, Azbogah, quickly berates Taz for a lot of reasons and quickly ends the conversation after it is made clear that she doesn't like her.

As Albion's emotions quickly turns violent, The Exemplar was killed by her ex-followers.
Albion's lusus, the Star Guardian, instructs her to return to her world as they will become one with the all-mother and be truly free.
Albion and her lusus bid farewell to each other as they go on to their own paths.
Albion decides to message SA and apologizes for not replying to her messages sooner and no longer wants the position.

Boobdrone, now controlled by Murrit, hovers overs at the now injured Dismas.
