Chapter 29: Same Old Grind—Let’s Go!
In other games, when a companion dies, it's just a line of text. But in Celestia: The Eternal Realms, where everything feels so intensely real—fighting, leveling, the time spent together—Isaac couldn't help but feel a genuine pang of loss when Red Team fell.
They were gone. After sticking with him for two whole days, Red Team had finally parted ways with Isaac for good.
He sighed. Maybe it was better that they died in battle than get dismissed later. At least they went out with dignity.
By the boundary stone, Isaac raised three little dirt mounds. He found three pieces of wood and carved them with the names: Red One, Red Two, Red Three.
"You guys were with me for a long time. I'm not just gonna let you disappear like other nameless mobs. You'll at least leave a trace behind."
"Red One, Red Two, Red Three—thank you for sticking with me."
He stood, composed himself, and looked once more toward the twisted depths of Venommist Forest.
After that brutal first run, Isaac understood: the stone's warning was no bluff.
Wave after wave of monsters, increasingly aggressive and unrelenting—even he had nearly died. And that was just the forest entrance.
But on the flip side, the constant Elite spawns made it too tempting to ignore. In just thirty minutes, he'd racked up 6 Tier 3 Talent Shards and 6 Star 3 Quality Points.
Far more efficient than farming Daffino.
