Notes From the Chained

A mysterious track posted on Inter-Knot by an anonymous creator, inspired by the hallucinations of a lost Hollow wanderer. The melody cuts off abruptly halfway through, yet its hauntingly precise evocation of the despair and disorientation of deep Hollow exploration made it a brief sensation. It is said that an investigator, once lost, abandoned rescue efforts and instead followed the melody as his guide, wandering within the Hollow. The agony brought on by Corruption nearly blinded him, yet the tune continued to echo in his ears. In the end, he miraculously found a way out. Later, this investigator who returned from the abyss became a well-known composer and finished writing the second half of the melody.

Set Composition

HP%, ATK%, DEF%, Impact, Anomaly Mastery, Energy Regen

A golden tide surges forth, swallowing the imagined prison garb Beyond the cage, wet snow drifts as warm sunlight hangs low Shackles at the wrists grow light as nothing The self-bound prisoner walks the road home

HP%, ATK%, DEF%, PEN Ratio, Physical/Fire/Ice/Electric/Ether DMG Bonus

Trembling fingertips search every inch of every seam No echo of iron, no chill of any lock The gate was never truly closed And so no key or incantation is needed

HP%, ATK%, DEF%, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Anomaly Proficiency

Silence crashes like thunder, cold sweat extinguishing the remnants of dreams Deep within the chest, a withered heart begins to beat with unrest— A sudden weariness of this immortal stillness A longing to see once more that sky, both cursed and long forgotten

DEF

In shattered mirrors of bygone days, that irreversible loss is reflected One misstep buries countless stars by one's own hand Thus retreat into shadow, a sentence of eternal confinement pronounced Amid the ruins of repentance, that heavy door is sealed shut by one's own hand

ATK

Thoughts melt like wax, dripping into a bottomless lake The world peels like lacquer, shadows dancing on the ceiling Distant birds sweep past, leaving behind fractured cries Weightless descent blurs the line between dreams and wandering delusion

HP

Rust gnaws at time upon the wrists Cold walls stand as the only thing to lean on Long accustomed to this crushing weight Stifled breaths repeat in endless cycles Until worn down into a single grain of decayed dust
