## Objective

Hope that Cannot be Lost

With the screams of my companions fading into the distance, I donned the guise of a Human. Feigning allegiance to their vile demon god, I walked among them. Fortune smiled upon me, for I found a new light in that forsaken place. Not Sylvia, who turned a deaf ear to our pitiful prayers, but an ancient god, Godr-Ayed, through traces of his greatness...

Based on the elusive records found with bated breath, I was able to meet a group of magicians known as the Deneve. In secret, they delved into the mysteries of ancient magic and alchemy. I revealed the magic and alchemy I had honed in solitude, and their curiosity was piqued. 

After several exchanges, their suspicion and wariness towards me began to wane. Soon, I was accepted into the ranks of the Deneve, where I could immerse myself in the study of ancient magic.
