After several expeditions, the laboratory was heavily damaged, and the path back was sealed. During their research, the team discovered the first unidentified entity, which they named the <Appraiser>.

The Appraiser accepts various items retrieved from the abyss:
resources
artifacts
relics
By evaluating their value and consuming them, it can create anything that is already known. An item becomes known only after its formula has been discovered.
The team had no choice but to descend deeper into the abyss to gather more value and repair the laboratory.
And you… were left behind.
