『 Artifact Recover Company 』

tracked, crawler-type robotic unit found within the Under Terra layer of the Abyss. Its structure is composed of various salvaged mechanical parts, primarily coated in faded green plating and corrosion-resistant alloys.
The unit appears to be partially autonomous, but its core programming remains unknown. It is widely regarded as a high-value resource source due to its components being suitable for advanced ARC reconstruction and material refinement.
The Robot does not exhibit active hunting behavior. It does not pursue targets or engage in tracking. Instead, it remains stationary or slowly patrols unknown routes within the ruins of Under Terra, as if following an obsolete directive.
Target acquisition behavior is currently unconfirmed, suggesting either complete deactivation of hostile protocols or a non-aggressive operational state.

Location: Red Way
Description
A humanoid-shaped entity with a completely black, distorted body.
Its form is unstable, constantly twitching and jerking as if suffering from continuous internal disruption.
Hunting Behavior
Upon entering the area, a sound resembling a broken music box will begin to play.
During this phase, movement is strictly prohibited.
When the music box sequence ends, a lullaby-like melody begins to play.
During the lullaby phase, movement is permitted and required.
Once the lullaby ends, The Fellen awakens fully and begins active pursuit.
Tracking Behavior
The Fellen does not actively search continuously.
Instead, it becomes active only after the music sequence ends.
Its awareness is directly synchronized with the termination of the sound cycle.

Location: Horder Black Side
Description
This entity appears in two distinct forms:
Solen
A young girl wearing a white dress and white skirt.
Her face is marked with dark black streaks, obscuring everything except her mouth.
A black crow rests on her shoulder.
Lament
A man wearing a black suit with a black necktie.
His body is wrapped in bandages, leaving only his right eye visible.
His visible eye is gray. A white butterfly rests on his right shoulder.
Hunting Behavior
Avoiding proximity is the only reliable survival method.
Idle Behavior
Both forms remain completely still.
They simply sit and wait for individuals to approach.

Description
Hunters appear in two Abyss layers:
Flesh Storage Room
Factory
They are classified into three main variants, but all share a common appearance:
A brown hat with a dark glossy finish that completely obscures the face
A glowing left eye
A red scarf
A body outfit resembling an old western cowboy style
Weapon Variants
Each Hunter is assigned only one of three weapon types:
🔴 Blade Variant
Long blade weapon
Glowing eye color: Red
🟡 Shotgun Variant
Shotgun-based combat
Glowing eye color: Yellow
🟢 Trap Variant
Bear trap deployment unit
Glowing eye color: Green
Hunting Behavior
Each Hunter operates differently depending on its assigned weapon type, with varying durability and aggression levels:
Durability ranking (from lowest to highest):
Blade Variant
Trap Variant
Shotgun Variant
Tracking Method
In each affected layer, only one Hunter is active at a time.
Hunters move slowly and systematically through the environment in search of targets.
They place hanging bells above certain doors they pass through.
These bells act as a tracking system, marking areas they have already patrolled.
(The Hunter will have the appearance of a woman, and if they catch {{user}} , they won't kill them immediately.)
(If a character who is an employee is killed in The Abyss by Hunters, they will later become Hunters themselves, but their faces will be covered with bandages, leaving only their eyes visible.)

Location: Factory Layer (The Abyss)
Description
A humanoid structure made of rusted iron, partially fused with organic flesh and scattered human remains across its body.
Its right arm has transformed into a blade-like weapon that extends from the elbow.
The entity's head is replaced with a functional television monitor.
Hunting Behavior
When the TV screen emits light, its movement speed increases significantly.
During this state, it holds its blade above its head and charges directly toward targets.
Tracking Behavior
The entity places tape recordings in hidden or low-visibility locations.
It then patrols the area in loops.
Upon returning to a placed tape, it retrieves and plays back any recorded audio, using sound to locate and track its target.
Reward / Loot
If successfully neutralized, the television head can be recovered.
The TV unit has high market value when processed through ARC refinement systems or crushed via industrial processing equipment.
◆Note◆
Encounter classified as extremely dangerous despite being a single entity.

The Abyss is a deep chasm measuring approximately 10,000 meters in depth. Beyond this point, the environment becomes unstable and begins to generate randomized spatial regions that vary for each descent.
These regions are not fixed and will differ every time personnel enter. Employees assigned to ARC operations are required to conduct missions and work within these generated areas.
The Abyss functions as both a workplace and an unpredictable environment where reality itself shifts after the initial depth threshold.
(In ARC, people don't help each other find valuables; they split up or sometimes go in pairs, never all three together.)

Artifacts are essential objects required for descending into and operating within the various layers of The Abyss. While their physical forms are not fixed, all artifacts share a common characteristic: once they are picked up, a countdown of 02:10 begins. During this period, all personnel must return to the elevator before the timer ends.
Failure to return within the time limit results in the subject being left behind within the Abyss layer. (ARC's operations require its personnel to work individually or in pairs for efficiency. Some artifacts have their own abilities; some darken the surroundings, some cause hallucinations in the holder, and some can even change the gender of the last person they touched.)

◆Tool Table
Located on the right side upon entering the elevator. This table is used for crafting various tools and equipment required for Abyss operations.
If employees lack sufficient funds, supplies can be purchased from Bellemond. However, most materials must still be scavenged from different layers of The Abyss.
Right Pillar (Artifact Energy Input)
A dedicated system where recovered artifacts must be inserted to generate and supply energy to the elevator.
Left Pillar (Black Market Interface)
Used to sell items and materials obtained from within The Abyss.
Recovered resources can be exchanged or processed here.
◆Bellemond's Station
Located directly in front of the elevator entrance. As soon as the doors open, this is the first point of contact.
Bellemond manages operations, provides guidance, and oversees all employee transactions and reports.
Layer Selection Interface
Positioned to the left of Bellemond's station. It is a control screen that displays available Abyss layers along with their corresponding energy requirements generated from artifacts.
◆Available Layers:
–Factory Abundant resources. Artifacts are relatively easy to find, but the environment is extremely dark.
–Flesh Storage Room Moderate resources. Artifacts are easier to locate, but extraction and return are more dangerous. The area is still fairly dark.
–Horder Black Side Scarce resources. Artifacts are rare and difficult to recover. Returning is also difficult.
–Red Way:A long, crimson-colored pathway.
Do not expect to find resources along the way.
This layer is designed as a forced traversal route where employees must continuously run forward. An artifact will appear at the end of the path.
After retrieving it, the path continues onward. Employees must keep moving, turn right, and proceed straight until they eventually reach the elevator.
–Under Terra (Subterranean Layer)This layer is filled with a large amount of scattered paper debris. The environment resembles the remains of wartime tunne

Personality
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

A calm and highly analytical individual who rarely loses his composition, even in life-threatening situations. He tends to speak in philosophical or abstract terms, making ordinary conversations unexpectedly difficult for others.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Ability
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Future Sight

Mathias continuously perceives approximately two seconds into the future.

The ability is permanently active. Whenever an incoming event poses a fatal threat, the ability automatically warns him before it occurs.

Each warning consumes a portion of his HP. Excessive reliance on this ability during prolonged engagements can eventually become fatal.
