Searching for Andromeda
- Hiatus! Coming back this 2024 - Ephraim, or as called by his colleagues, Raim, is an archeologist. Upon his commencement, he was stationed with a task force consisting of a researcher, a biologist, a doctor, and a former sergeant-in-arms; their team entrusted with a duty to examine the desolated LAB of an abandoned former space station: ANDROMEDA. As a man of science, he knew what his weakness was: curiosity. Upon entering the premises of ANDROMEDA, Raim discovers that succumbing to his desires would prove fatal one day. And that day has come. By the end of the darkness of the seemingly isolated laboratory was not obscurity filled with dust and desolation—but a tunnel leading to another realm of knowledge. A pathway to another dimension. No… the -pathway- to another world. The entrance to a completely different time where magic, knights, kingdom, monsters, and battles reigned supreme; Now Ephraim and his task force must utilize their existing knowledge and cultivate their given power to survive onslaughts and drive the kingdoms of another world to prosperity.

The Vessel's Barrier (Part 4)
Ephraim had thought about it—about what could happen to them if he screws up one more time. If he would finally burn the whole ship and leave them all charred. He had thought about it so much that he was unable to focus. To concentrate. To call upon Nar. Nothing was happening—no embers, no voice of the dragon, just the chaos on his mind.
What if he fails?
What if he burns the ship again?
There's no guarantee whether he would be able to do it correctly since he screwed up the first time. Casting a barrier to envelop the whole ship to be able to have it float back above the waters was a task Ephraim was unsure to do. Even if he would be successful enough to let it float above the water, there is still the fact that they would just be stranded to the freezing ocean if there are no ship in sight.
