I arrived alone, wanting to investigate without drawing attention.
Klein offered to accompany me, but I insisted he continue researching Alaric's background. Besides, if there's something paranormal here, my Leviathan abilities give me the best chance of detecting it.
I break the seals and chains—they're old and rusted, offering little resistance—and push open the door.
The interior is exactly as I expected: charred walls, collapsed furniture, debris scattered everywhere. Decades of neglect have transformed this place into a tomb.
I activate Existential Resonance.
Immediately, the world shifts.
My perception expands, reaching beyond the physical into the metaphysical.
I can detect the Temporal Layers of Existence, alongside the Aego and the existence of everything around me.
I should also be able to detect Trace Elements, but since this place has been abandoned for decades, whatever Trace Elements that remained after the fires should have died off already.
