It had been several weeks since Enigma had successfully completed an assignment on Ender Island. He had thoroughly explored the treacherous canyons and the ancient ruins left behind by a tribe of intelligent creatures that worshiped Earth-Chan. While the experience was fascinating, it also left Enigma pondering the possibility of building positive relationships with other species to reduce hostility. He wondered how such a system would be programmed and how reputation changes could be implemented. Perhaps these creatures could be transformed from mere enemies into NPCs for specific individuals. This was a topic that Enigma found intriguing, especially since he had been summoned back to the Ender Island main camp by Harold. The last task that Harold had assigned to Enigma was to investigate the ruins and gather as much information as possible. Enigma was successful, securing a few valuable goods and items. However, the most valuable item in his possession was the map. The map revealed new areas that had yet to be explored. Although these areas might have been eventually discovered, Enigma was ahead of the curve. Enigma kicked himself for not acting sooner. He should have explored the areas as soon as they were revealed to him. Enigma loved a good investigation, especially if it could potentially bring in a profit. He hoped that the assignment that Harold had for him would be profitable as well.
As Enigma entered the larger tent, he was greeted by the sound of opera music. Harold sat with his eyes closed, but quickly perked up when Enigma arrived. "You always come when I call. Should I consider myself lucky?" Harold greeted Enigma with a smile. Enigma chuckled and sat down, reaching for his pack of cigarettes. "If that's the way you want to think. I'm here because you have a job for me that no one else can do. Or maybe they can do it, but not as discreetly?" Enigma replied. Harold nodded and went into detail about the assignment. "Remember when you showed me a glimpse of the map? It looks like the formations that suddenly appeared on Ender Island are very similar. It's as if the island is alive and responding to our actions by opening a new area. I'd like you to check it out, but try not to engage with the creatures there. I don't want you to pick a fight with the creatures who made that cave art, assuming it was them, to begin with, that worships Earth-Chan."
Enigma listened intently to the mission briefing. Harold emphasized that Enigma should be non-combative and not get caught. "This is a job for the elusive man himself. Alright, I'll let you know what I find." Enigma replied, ready for a new adventure. He was determined to make the most of this assignment and gather as much information as possible. mission

Enigma was a man of action. As soon as he accepted the job, he was ready to hit the ground running. The Tidepools, where he was headed, were known for being one of the most challenging terrains to traverse. Enigma knew that it would take every ounce of his skill and experience to navigate his way through the treacherous terrain. He had heard rumors that many players were unable to cross the Tidepools due to their lack of flying or vehicular abilities. However, he was determined to take the path of least resistance or, at the very least, the path that most players refrained from taking due to their levels and equipment constraints. "I'm glad I don't have those problems," he thought to himself as he started his ascent up the steep rock formation hills that led to the narrow cliffs. Enigma was aware that the journey to the Tidepools would not be easy. In fact, he knew that getting past the steep and dangerous cliffs was only the beginning. He had to be careful with how he used his glider coat as it had a limited usage time. He decided to save it for emergencies or critical situations to ensure that he had enough fuel to make it to his destination. "Let's try hiking the old-fashioned way," he muttered to himself, determined to make the most of his journey. With this in mind, Enigma continued to hike up the mountain, taking one step at a time. The steep incline made the trek more challenging, but he was up for the challenge. He knew that he had to be careful as even the slightest mistake could cost him his life. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he got closer to the mouth of the cliff. He looked over, cursing himself for even thinking of trying to climb down the clif in oder to save his resources. At the very least, his dokkebi invisibility was kicking so that he didn't attract any attention to himself. Enigma was lucky that he wasn't too much of a glass cannon, his vitality was based off of the stamina of a peak athlete, which allowed him to even attempt to try this dangeround method. used

Enigma had been on the dangerous cliff for what felt like hours. Four hours in, to be precise. The cliff was steep and jagged, and Enigma was grateful for the gloves he had with him. They provided some protection for his hands, which would have been easily scratched or pierced if they were exposed. Nevertheless, Enigma had the necessary stats to make the climb, but he was no professional. He relied on an amateur's optimism to keep him going.
Enigma fought for every inch before finally making it to the bottom. There, he took a much-needed break and leaned against the rocks. He even had a tomato-based sandwich that was made for him for free by Dee-Dee. He doubted that things in his inventory would become perishable, and he didn't mind the chicken salad she made him last time. After a quick smoke and some lunch, Enigma continued on to the tidepools.
As he walked along the shoreline, he could feel the salty breeze coming from the ocean. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks was music to his ears. He took a deep breath and soaked in the beautiful view of the ocean and the surrounding cliffs. The tidepools were in the distance, a series of shallow pools filled with water that were formed by the retreating tide. Enigma had been told that the pools were teeming with marine life, but not in the way that you would expect.
As he approached the tidepools, Enigma noticed something strange. He saw what appeared to be shark people, but he couldn't be sure. He used his invisibility powers to avoid detection and observed the creatures from a distance. They were acting as security, which piqued Enigma's curiosity. He wondered what they were guarding and why. Enigma knew that he had to investigate further, but he had to be cautious. He didn't want to get caught and risk his life for something he didn't fully understand.

Enigma took a deep breath and focused on his surroundings. He noticed that the shark people were well-equipped and armed with weapons. They patrolled the area around the tidepools as if guarding something valuable. Enigma's curiosity got the best of him, and he knew that he had to get a closer look. He decided to approach the tidepools from a different angle. He made his way around the cliffs, staying hidden from view as much as possible. As he got closer, he could see that the shark people were guarding a cave entrance that was hidden behind the tidepools. This was something worth investigating.
Enigma waited until nightfall when the shark people were less active. He used his invisibility powers to sneak past them and make his way to the cave entrance. The entrance was heavily guarded, but Enigma managed to slip past the guards and make his way inside. Enigma didn't have to do this, but the reason why he did so was to figure out exactly where the cave led.
"This damp cave is a shortcut that cuts through the tidepools. Maybe they are protecting their village? It's obvious why this side would be heavily guarded if they don't want anyone else showing up."
Taking note of the information, the fact that the shark people weren't as active at night, and the fact that there was a long tunnel entrance, Enigma thought that it would be enough to have those notes and leave them for someone else to explore the caves. It was one of the many options to get in, that's all it was.
"I think I'll be taking to the skies then."

With the invisibility that Enigma had at his disposal, he wanted to do something a little different this time around. Or better yet, he wanted to attempt to try a method of transportation while being invisible to increase the pace of completing his assignment. The coat of the sky glider was a lucky pull for Enigma, it allowed him the option to take to the skies at his speed in addition to the protection that it allowed him to have if he was to ever be attacked or assaulted by anything. Enigma was happy that he refrained from using it during the cliff-climbing process. Of course, if he did manage to fall off the cliff by accident, using it was the only option he had for himself outside of bringing out Dragonforce. As he soared through the skies, Enigma couldn't help but ponder about his past experiences and how they had shaped him to become the person he is today. He remembered the first time he had used invisibility to escape a dangerous situation, and how it had saved his life. He also thought about his encounters with Summer, a skilled player whose defenses seemed nearly unbreakable. Enigma had a feeling that she had already found a new group to join, but he couldn't help but wonder where she had ended up. As Enigma flew over the tidepools, he marveled at how peaceful the world looked from up high. However, he remained vigilant, knowing that there could be hidden obstacles and traps that he needed to avoid. He was determined to complete his assignment successfully, the best way to do that was to make sure he wasn't touching the tidepools at all. As Enigma continued his flight, he noticed that the landscape below him was changing. The once lush marsh had been replaced by a barren wasteland of mud, and the vibrant colors of the flowers had been replaced by shades of brown and gray. Enigma knew that he was getting closer to his destination, and that the challenges he would face would only get harder from here on out. As he flew over a particularly large sinkhole, Enigma couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. His sixth sense started to perk up, noticing that something was hiding in there. He knew that the sinkhole was a trap designed to ensnare unwitting travelers, and he was determined to avoid it at all costs. With quick reflexes, Enigma swerved to the left, narrowly avoiding the deadly pitfall. What was it? Some kind of water pressure bomb designed for motion detonation? Wait, it was a monster? "If there's ripples in the water, it detonates? But the detonation was actually an alarm clock?! Scary trap..."
With the danger of the sinkhole behind him, Enigma continued his journey. The wind was picking up, making it harder for him to maintain his speed. He knew that he needed to find a place to rest before continuing on his mission. Just as he was about to give up hope, Enigma spotted a small cave in the distance. It wasn't much, but it would provide him with the shelter he needed to rest and recharge. Flying at night wasn't easy, but he knew that he was close now. "I'm close to shark's reef. "

As Enigma landed at Shark's Reef and deactivated his stealth, he was immediately met with hostility from the nearby players. They were disheveled and had a look of distrust in their eyes. Enigma appeared out of nowhere in front of a bunch of individuals, which didn't help his case.The woman with tribal tattoos and long blue hair who appeared with a spear seemed to be running the show. The players immediately began to back away, but they still weren't too sure what to make of Enigma. "Stand down," she commanded.
"A man in a mask, reveal yourself! Who sent you here?" she demanded.
Putting his hands up, Enigma calmly took two steps forward and looked the woman in the eye. "I'm just an investigator," he said. "It looks like you guys made a camp for human beings in the shark's reef. I saw parts of their territory in the tidepools. The mud is slick and deep, preventing them from swimming through it in case they ever decide to attack, right? I guess that makes the location ideal due to the short distance it had from the tidepools."
Katia, the self-proclaimed guard of this stronghold, looked at Enigma up and down, then grunted. "As long as you behave yourself civilly, there won't be any problems. I'm busy doing my rounds, so don't make any trouble here. Do you understand?" As soon as Enigma nodded, they dispersed. He was still under some watchful eyes, but it was a lot less than he originally came. "Well, that's quite welcome," he thought. Opening the main menu for his interface, Enigma began to send a message to Harold at the main Ender island camp. He noted that it looked like other players were there too, and they looked rough. The stories of their travel might be different from those who made it to the main island. There were also small pieces of boat laid about on the outside of the camp.
It was clear that not everyone crash-landed in the same area upon traveling here. Enigma had a lot of work ahead of him. He would have to explore the area, gather more information, and try to piece together what happened to all the players who landed here. Enigma couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as he thought about the other players who had landed in different areas. He wondered if they were all right and what kind of challenges they were facing. He made a mental note to try and find other players and check up on them when he could.
As he walked around the camp, Enigma observed that the players there seemed to be living in a primitive way, using spears and makeshift shelters. He couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for their ingenuity and resourcefulness. These were qualities that would serve them well in this strange and hostile world they found themselves in. Enigma also noticed that the players seemed to be organized and had some kind of social hierarchy. Katia, the guard he had spoken to earlier, seemed to be the leader or at least someone in a position of authority. He wondered how they had managed to establish order in such a chaotic and dangerous environment.
"Are they in conflict with the shark people? Did this happen as soon as they crashed here?"
There was only one way to find out.
-End
