Happy Halloween, Seekers!
I know, I know, the greeting is a bit late, but we’re only halfway done with the celebrations! Now, before I spook you with all my scary stories, why don’t I catch you up with what’s happened?
As the Leader of the Providence has stated, all our hard work has finally paid off! You managed to tame all the Akulaw, the Kongstronats have finally been able to take off, and peace dwells all around us once again. It’s all thanks to YOU!!
The Kongstronaut spaceship has left Caerras, but a few chosen ones decided to stay behind. I must admit, I was sad to see the others leave, I was just about to tear up when I saw some shadow moving in the bushes. Do you wanna hear the whole story?
Well, I’m not gonna drag you anymore! Here are the things we’ll talk about:
THE TERRIKIS EXPERIMENT
“The Terrikis are truly a mysterious bunch. They tend to band amongst their own, with their arms hooked around each other’s limbs when transporting their young. The noticeable bright yellow fur hides within the leaves. While the others are rambunctious, this one sits as if waiting for a threat to strike. It’s a wonder how they react when it does.”
Atlas sat behind a tree, trying to make as little noise as possible while scribbling in his notebook. The Terrikis’ scratches filled the air, but he was unbothered. “Interesting,” he murmured.
“What’s interesting?”
Atlas almost jumped in fright, his glasses almost falling onto the grass. In front of him was a boy no older than he was. “What are you doing here?” he hissed. He glanced back at the Terrikis, sighing in relief when he saw that they hadn’t been scared off. “You aren’t supposed to be here—this is restricted territory!”
The other boy tilted his head, raising his eyebrow. “If it’s restricted territory, then why are you here?”
“I…” Right. He also wasn’t allowed to wander around here. His mother would kill him if she knew what he had done.
There was complete silence when the other boy glanced over at his skewed glasses and messy notebook. “You know,” he finally spoke. “If you’re waiting to see how they’d react to an oncoming threat, you’ll be sitting there till sundown. My father always said that you should take a more active role if you want to see results.”
Atlas furrowed his eyebrows.
“What are you—”
“Run!”
The boy chucked rocks over at the Terrikis, hitting one on its head. What came after was chaos. The two boys sprinted down the trail as their screeches echoed across the forest. Atlas noticed the Terrikis moved in unison, with the one of yellow fur leading the pack—its claws appearing much more evident under the sunlight. His heart raced in his chest as they hopped over boulders and ducked from swinging branches.
When Atlas thought that they’d run for centuries, the other boy pulled him into the bushy foliage. The green leaves quickly envelop them, and he could see the Terrikis swinging in the other direction. The two ten-year-olds looked at each other, a smile threatening to break out on each other’s faces before they fell into peals of laughter.
“You run like an old man!”
“Says the guy who tripped over a pebble!”
The boy smiled. “Let’s do that again some other time. On another Venari for our next exploration.”
“Who says there will be another?”
“Because we’re explorers!” He extended his hand. “I’m Torum!”
“I’m—”
“Atlas! You were everywhere on the news!” Torum was about to continue when his watch brightened up. He sighed, standing up. “I have to go. My dad needs me. I’ll see you again! On our next exploration!”
On their next exploration, indeed…
HALLOWEEN EVENT UPDATE
Just two days after the CyberKongz Event, Caerras joined the Halloween festivity on Earth. The first-ever Halloween Event was specially participated by three of our beloved faction Venari, and Tydrew.
Each Venari prepared two different spooky costumes to join the fun and scare the Seekers.
Two candied baits were created by the Lira researchers to lure and tame the costumed Venari.
On top of the existing Nyrie Quest, a Halloween-themed questline was released with rewards of over 60,000 in-game gold and a handful of candied baits for players who completed the quests.

Halloween Lore: The Hollow
“During the cusp of twilight, the legions of Noxis spew their gas; and all who wander during All Hollow’s Eve will reach their impasse.” — Unknown
The Hollow was once celebrated for different reasons, but beneath the beautiful festivity lies a dreadful past.
