| ShortSummary = | | ShortSummary = Derp and Alex arrive at the mountain-fortress headquarters of the Good Justice Society, where Rook reveals that the Walker’s stolen relic — the Demerald — is destabilising entire provinces and feeding a force older than the End or Nether. Derp stumbles through a disastrous but “passable” Agent orientation, earning a reluctant greenlight to continue the mission, and Alex secures inclusion only because Derp insists he can’t survive without her. Their briefing exposes the truth about the relic: each surge the Walker triggers charges a structure capable of opening a void gate to the ancient entity he serves. Tracking him into the Mirelands, Derp and Alex confront him again, only to be outmatched as the Walker uses the Demerald to open a crackling void rift, taunts Derp about being expendable, and hints at a hidden power inside him before escaping through the portal and collapsing the swamp around them. Back at GJS Command, Rook confirms Derp’s survival of void exposure shouldn’t be possible unless he carries a connection the Society has never disclosed, making him the key to stopping — or empowering — the Walker’s plan. Shaken but resolute, Derp accepts his new role as an official Agent while Alex stands firmly at his side, the two preparing for the inevitable moment when the Walker stops running and comes directly for him. | ||

| Young, untrained Derp barely survives an attack by crimson-armored vindicators in the frozen taiga before being rescued by a mysterious GJS operative, awakening under Rook’s watch inside a fortified safehouse where he’s informed his survival was the first part of a test: track a rogue figure known as the Walker, recover the stolen artifact he carries, and do it alone because he’s the only one the target won’t sense coming. Sent into the wilds with a map and a too-big cloak, Derp crosses the plains and stumbles into Alex, who sees through his inexperience and chooses to help despite the danger, accompanying him into a warped valley scarred by void-energy where they confront the Walker holding a pulsing crystalline cube and wielding tendrils that bend reality. Outmatched, Derp protects Alex but fails to stop the Walker, who escapes after taunting him and warning that Rook sent the wrong pawn. Defeated but alive, Derp returns expecting dismissal, only for Rook to reveal the opposite: the mission continues, Alex is now part of it, and Derp’s failure proved he’s the unpredictable asset the GJS needs. At dawn, Derp and Alex stand over the ridge accepting their new partnership, determined to hunt the Walker down and retrieve the artifact before it reshapes their world. | |||||
