For every Phantom, the day came when they ventured into the Dead Lands on their first mission. Many Phantoms returned time and again, growing stronger and emerging victorious.
Sure, a different fate awaited some of them, quiet or brutal, but in this world, there were plenty of Phantoms who regularly set out on missions in the Dead Lands.
However, only a small fraction of the Phantoms knew what lay beyond their borders. After all, only at the K4-Level, or for the strongest of the K3-Level, did the existence of the World Wipe become known.
This was the turning point when the Phantoms learned of other territories that lay beyond the Dead Lands.
Typically, a Phantom first had to reach the Tarnished Lands, the territories closest to the spires. This did not happen immediately after a Phantom reached the K4 level, but a little later.
The Phantoms took their first steps and earned their Grand Stars in the far reaches of the Dead Lands, which bordered other lands.
