anteros.

Summary:

The Greeks believed in 8 types of love. When agape was the strongest, it's never been questioned if a couple could develop through the 8 types and still come out with the most powerful of the 4 Erotes on their side; Anteros. The God of Avenged Love.

Kickstarting after the events of the Grassland Romance card, the world's awareness of the Aether Core strengthens dangerously alongside MC's feelings for Sylus. MC is the world's direct desire for power, and with EVER now on the rise again, she is spotlighted as the most wanted woman in the world. Hanging on the edge of another Chronorift Catastrophe, MC goes to the one person she trusts for answers involving her Protocore Syndrome.

The very man she shares half her soul with, that she can't seem to get away from. Sylus.

Sylus and MC must uncover the horrors of what happened in MC's shattered memories; which awakens a chain of events that could lead MC back to the Abyss that Sylus is trying to keep her from. Shadows holding over Sylus' past emerge, secrets unravel and the world hangs off its balance between the 2 lovers with the fate of the world being challenged.
