Anomaly 001 had risen from the blood sea after the disappearance of the Ancient Crete Kingdom, replacing the sun of the old era and illuminating the world during the deep sea age.
For ten thousand years, this massive body of light functioned like an eternal fixture, not only bringing light and warmth to the world but also the stable order of daylight—without it, there would be no City-State civilization as it is today, and the entire world might be shrouded in a terrible everlasting night. Bereft of the Ancient Crete Kingdom's protection, the beings of this mortal realm might have silently vanished in some ancient epoch.
No one ever thought that there would be a day when Anomaly 001 would encounter problems, just as no one considered the possibility of the Endless Sea drying up one day.
However, it now seemed that this "eternal" sun was not truly eternal.
