I always get +30 to panic when they ask for my ID at the store.

Alcohol is a harbinger of the Dark Lands.

I panic when I go through the subway. They often stop me.

Try buying a ticket next time.

I panic when I go through old turnstiles. When I was about 10, I got hit in the groin by one of those things, so I've been going through them sideways ever since, lol.

I saw a guy who walked through the old turnstiles so quickly, without showing a ticket, that they reacted only after he had already passed. It was so natural and simple, but you could still see the "Deal with it!" in his eyes.

got these things between his legs

Since then, only 2D.

I liked the Moscow Metro when I lived there. I enjoyed using it to get around for various errands.

I panic when I look down while descending a long escalator.

Since then, only 2D.

Well no, when I was 14, I actively hated anime on HeroesWorld.

I panic when I think about my future.

I'm panicking when I think about the fact that Revenant has given up on continuing the expansion.

Well, everything is ready, and I could continue right now, but what's the point? I'm exhausted, and I still have some things to do.

I panic when I look down while descending a long escalator.

And I have a strong urge to jump down... Which is what I actually do, but I choose the easier option of "walking down the stairs" instead of the hardcore "jump and fall."

Look how businesslike he's become, just like a HeroesWorld guy.

— Is this a final decision? — There were two people in Nuvián Enzeiros’s office: the commander himself and his guest, Wolfgang Royenthal, a well-known mercenary in the higher circles of Erathia.

— Yes. The government of Onodzuka does not believe it is necessary to interfere in the conflict between the Rampart and Icheon. My employers believe that this will only bring harm to the country and casualties among the population.
— Well, that's clear. — The Garrison Commander expected such an answer, although he had hoped for a positive one. They must have understood which direction Erathia was heading and were preparing to side with the likely winner. Nuvián could not blame them for that. — Wolfgang, — realizing that there was no point in continuing this topic, the commander moved on to another question. — Can I offer you a job?
— Possibly. It depends on what kind of job and where. My contract with Onodzuka is still valid.
— This shouldn't be a problem. It has nothing to do with Onodzuka, and your route won't be significantly disrupted. — Enzeiros, who used to be a mighty warrior, held Wolfgang in high regard. In terms of strength and skill, he could compete with Icheon, Asalia, and Akacian, so any task could be safely entrusted to him. — I need you to eliminate a witch from the Dark Lands.
— Oh? That’s a serious job. Payment?
— It’s already prepared. — Nuvián lifted a case onto the table and opened it. The gleam of gold bars, moonstones, and gems caught the eye.
— That’s not enough.
— There’s more. — Following the case, a scabbard with a Taoist blade appeared on the table. After carefully examining the blade, the mercenary agreed. This was obviously no ordinary sword. — I must warn you in advance...
— Yes?
— Due to certain difficulties, I may not be able to destroy her completely.
— Make sure she doesn't interfere with us. The rest doesn't interest me.

When Wolfgang left, Nuvián sank into thought. This witch had made herself known a year ago and had since been a real headache for the Rampart. She creates and controls monsters from the Dark Lands, possesses strange magic, and interferes with the order's activities in every way possible. The potential threat posed by her is precisely why the Rampart has not yet launched a full-scale attack on the growing faction of Icheon. Time was running out, and something needed to be done. If Wolfgang fails, they will have to risk the order's resources. — Icheon... "The world took away everything that was dear to me," didn't you say that during our first meeting? Were you already lost to us back then, and was everything that followed just your lie? — A knock at the door brought the old man out of his semi-sleep. — Come in.
The secretary brought several new documents, this time information about recruits.
— Ito Benjiro, could it be that clan? Such a specialist would be an asset to the garrison; there aren’t many talented alchemists these days. — Then the commander's gaze moved to the sheet with information about Ariel. — That kind and benevolent Kazuo. — Nuvián shook his head. — Oh… — The report on Flain and Hikaru Enzeiros did not please him. He reviewed the rest without emotion. — Overall, not so bad. — As if encouraging himself, he thought. — We can still forge true warriors of the order from these nine.

You have been safely escorted to the fortress of the order and placed in the training department, where all newcomers who have not joined any of the corps are located.
For now, the task is one: submit an application to join the Green/Blue/Red factions. Everything else is optional; you can chat with each other or with NPCs.
