The Prophecy

(Idle)

Roy: Are you going to the arcade?

(Interact)

Jonah: Are you sure you want to go to the arcade? Can you finish your part of the group work on time?

Roy: The group leader already completed the slides by herself. There's nothing much left to be done.

Roy: Speaking of which, it's been days since I last saw her!

Roy: The same goes for the transfer student from my group... Could they be secretly...

Roy: ...Editing the slides and the speech? Do they leave me out because they think I'm too addicted to gaming to be of any help?

Jonah: I think groupmates like them are too perfect to be true.

Roy: You're right.

Roy: Actually, she was using the payphone over there the last time I saw her.

Roy: It seemed nothing wrong to me at the time, but now, I wonder why a high school student who already had a mobile phone would use a payphone.

Roy: She was muttering about weird stuff like the "prophet" and "love prophecy." This is quite concerning...

Jonah: "Prophet"?

Jonah: If there were a prophet, I would like to know when I would beat the Soul Hounds Queen!

Jonah: My latest record is 679m, and hers is 12,607m. At least I've surpassed the last three digits of her record!

Roy: Well, that's a positive way of seeing things...

The two have a passionate discussion about arcades, steering the discussion away from the Prophet...

(Interact)

Flustered Passerby: Somebody...? Anybody...? Please help me...

Payphone: *ring ring*

Flustered Passerby: (‍Hey... Young man over there! By any chance... Do you happen to be an expert at answering phone calls?Hey... Young man over there! By any chance... Do you happen to be an expert at answering phone calls?Text for Wise / Hello... Girl over there! Are you any good at answering phone calls?Hello... Girl over there! Are you any good at answering phone calls?Text for Belle‍)

Payphone: *ring ring*

What kind of expertise is picking up the phone...?

Honestly, I'm way better at texting.

Flustered Passerby: Listen to me, it's not just any phone...

Flustered Passerby: Ever heard that urban legend? "The Payphone of Sixth Street"?

Flustered Passerby: Late at night, in some dark, sketchy alley on Sixth Street, a payphone starts ringing...

Flustered Passerby: If you don't answer the phone, you'll be cursed with bad luck. However, if you do answer it, you'll hear a discovery into your destiny.

Sounds like a cliche.

Haven't I seen that in a movie before?

Flustered Passerby: It's kind of awkward to say, but I'm actually into supernatural stuff. So, I came here just to check out the legendary payphone...

Flustered Passerby: But I'm actually a total scaredy-cat... I never thought it'd actually start ringing!

Payphone: *ring ring*

Flustered Passerby: Ahhh — It just keeps ringing and ringing like crazy. If nobody answers, I'm sure it'll keep at it until the end of the world!

Flustered Passerby: Please, pick it up for me! Most smart, amazing, kind, honest, and awesome passer-by!

Flustered Passerby: Answer the call of fate!

It's probably just a prank.

Well, since you're so desperate...

(You pick up the phone)

The phone connects. After a moment's silence, a raspy male voice starts speaking.

Payphone: Would you like to have a glimpse into your future?

Payphone: ...Buzz... *fizzles*... Prophet... the chosen hero... adventure...

Yes, I'd love to.

Payphone: Hehe... Of course.

Payphone: Oh, you may seem confident, but in reality, you're just a coward. I can sense your self-satisfaction after saying that.

Payphone: Generally, there's no way you can find out about your future so easily. However, I can make you an exception, because you are special...

Payphone: You don't have to hide your curiosity... And your fate is getting closer to you...

Payphone: From the snippets of conversation you hear, every piece of info you see, and the air in the streets... Your future is here, and the Prophecy will soon come true...

*busy tone* They hang up.

(When did that passerby leave?)

I don't have to know that.

Payphone: Are you saying...?

Payphone: Yeah! If you dial that number at midnight, it's bad luck if nobody answers — but it's good luck if someone does.

Payphone: I had to do it because I lost a round of Truth or Dare and... *sniggering sounds from down the line*

Payphone: There's no ghost, just a bunch of passers-by who are bugged by the ringing of the phone.

Payphone: And what you're telling me just so happens to be the exact opposite of what the guy next to me said...

(...The person who was just beside the payphone has vanished. When exactly did she leave?)

I can't hear you. Please talk more.

Payphone: Was there anyone else with you? Did she say anything to you?

She said...

She disappeared...

Payphone: ...Anyway, she's the one who asked me to answer the phone — if you want to thank anyone, thank her.

Payphone: (A voice from beside the caller) Don't tell me... They say only ghosts can answer the phone...

Payphone: You should go home, it's getting late...

*busy tone* They hung up.

Seems like we might have just encountered some supernatural event...Probably just a prank?

Forget it. It can wait until daytime when Fairy can investigate all related info.

(After responding to the Inter-Knot Post - (Commission) Need someone skilled at exploring weird Hollows)

(Commission Start)

?: Hey, friend. Come over here!

?: Quickly, I've got something urgent to tell you!

(Move onto trash can)

Fairy: "A trash can jumps out. There's a piece of paper stuck to it that says the word Prophet... A pair of flashing eyes appears out of the darkness of the can. No, it's nothing quite as cute as a kitty."

Fairy: "It seems he has something to tell you."

Prophet: "This place is surrounded by Ethereals!"

Prophet: "Please, help us escape!"

This man is in a panic.

Maybe you should ask him a question?

Who are you?

Prophet: "As you can see, I'm the 'Prophet'. You've probably heard rumors about my abilities. That's why you're here, right?"

Prophet: "But... to be honest... my prophecies only work within this Hollow. So, I'm sorry if that's a bummer for you."

What are you doing here?

Prophet: "I'm the Prophet. You've probably heard rumors about my abilities. That's why you're here, right?"

Prophet: But let's just say my prophecy only works within this Hollow. So, I'm sorry if that's a bummer for you.

How can we get out of here?

Prophet: "But hey! Cheer up! As long as you're in this Hollow, my prophecies will never be wrong!"

Prophet: "I prophesize you are the hero who will save us!
The prophecy says the Savior comes in many forms, and one of those forms is a Bangboo with a scarf with the number '01' stitched on..."

Prophet: "You will destroy the strongest Ethereal and lead us out of this place."

Prophet: "Trust me, the prophecy is as true as it gets! You're the hero in my prophecy! The True Hero!"

Can you tell me what I'll do in this Hollow?

Prophet: "You will destroy the strongest Ethereal and lead us out of this place."

Prophet: "Trust me, the prophecy is as true as it gets! You're the hero in my prophecy! The True Hero!"

Where do you get your power?

Prophet: "It might have been the Ether... Hollow corruption... or I was transformed into an aberration after being gazed by the abyss, turning me into uhhh, a transcendent vision... or, you know, maybe I was just born with it..."

Prophet: "But that's not important. You will destroy the strongest Ethereal and lead us out of this place."

Prophet: "Trust me, the prophecy is as true as it gets! You're the hero in my prophecy! The True Hero!"

Hero? What hero?

Who will destroy the strongest Ethereal?

Prophet: "Stop fooling around, hero!"

Prophet: "It's you! The hero is you!"

Prophet: "Trust me, the prophecy is as true as it gets! You're the hero in my prophecy! The True Hero!"

Prophet: "Just let your Agents go back! You're good enough on your own!"

The Prophet asks you to send your Agents back.

Listen to him.

Send your Agents back

Prophet: "All right, it's time to awaken your true potential!"

Prophet: "All you need is some little tweaks... and you'll be able to fight Ethereals!"

Prophet: "I'm transferring energy to you. Feel free to allocate it however you want."

(After allocating points)

Prophet: The energy has been allocated...

Prophet: "Heed my words, my friend. You'll encounter a variety of individuals... the Seven Sins and the Seven Virtues."

Prophet: "Choose your friends wisely. Only one faction will aid in the final battle. The prophecy says only the chosen side will leave the Hollow with their hero."

Prophet: "To gain the recognition of the Sins, you simply need to defeat them.
As for the Virtues, you must assist them in fulfilling their fixations."

Prophet: "That's all you need to know. It's time to go, hero! Save the world, my friend!"

Prophet: "Be warned of this prophecy... This adventure will take around 2 hours. Please arrange your time wisely."
"Don't worry if you don't have enough time now. It's fine to come back to be the savior another time!"

(After speaking with the Prophet)

Fairy: Beware of unforeseen dangers, My Liege.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Why are you talking like that?

Fairy: "Whichever Hollow you're in, sing its ode."

Fairy: "Do not fret, I am merely adapting to the circumstances."

(After moving partway into the Hollow)

Prophet: Oh, I almost forgot the other part of the prophecy! The legendary hero wears three pieces of legendary equipment.

Prophet: The three pieces are:
Holy Sword
Holy Shield
Holy Armor

Prophet: Ah, the words "Legendary Equipment" sound like sweet music to my ears... I hope you find them.

Prophet: By the way, don't forget that you only need to make friends with either Virtues or Sins.
Because only one faction will respond to your call for the final battle.

(After interacting with the Corrupted Human)

Prophet: "Enemies churn and twist in turbulence like boiling water..."

Prophet: "Their ceaseless invasions blaze like a roaring fire..."

Prophet: "The hero of the prophecy..."

Prophet: "Grow stronger, and bring that demon to justice!"

?: Only you can defeat such a powerful Ethereal.

?: Of course, you'll have to wait until you're strong enough.

(After moving to the north-east corner of the map)

Prophet: "Now that you've made it this far, you've pretty much explored the whole area."

Prophet: "Don't forget your ultimate goal: Defeat the strongest Ethereal blocking the way out!"

Prophet: "Moreover, a swarm of Wandering Ethereals is constantly flooding into the plaza."
"If you aren't feeling strong enough, defeat them to get stronger."

?: Only you can defeat such a powerful Ethereal.

Talk

Absolution: "What? You say I should run away, because this bomb is about to explode?"

Absolution: "One must understand that diversity is the wellspring of contentment... One should tolerate everything, even bombs."

Absolution: "You want to buy my bomb? But why does everyone use money to solve problems that should have been solved with love? ...Well, I can sell it to you, but it will cost you a fortune, as the price for your lack of acceptance!"

Will you buy it or try to haggle?
