Synopsis

Nox acquires a rare artifact, the "Great Sage's Highest Grade Orb," recognizing its potential and need for a specific activation method known only to him. He understands that activating the orb fully will reveal his true identity, so he opts for partial use. During a tense interaction, he explains to the other character, Eleanor, that he needs her in his plans, further obscuring his motivations and revealing a larger scheme. The chapter concludes with Eleanor and another character discussing Nox's mysterious actions, questioning his choice of the seemingly underpowered orb.
