Love And Deepspace: Zayne - Tower Of Secrets

In the myth, the MC suffers from a disease known as Cryoriasis — a deadly illness that slowly freezes a person from the inside out. This disease ultimately leads to death, and every prophet consulted by the MC has told him that he only has three years left to live.

His only hope is to disguise himself as an envoy of the royal family and journey to the Thorn Tower, where The Seer resides deep within the mountains. The MC intends to steal the Creatio Protocore from The Seer, as the Creatio Protocore is the only known cure for his illness. With strong determination, the MC strives to change his fate and find a way to save his life before it is too late.

The MC believes that by using the power of the Creatio Protocore, he can save himself from his fatal condition. He enters the Thorn Tower and finds The Seer frozen upon his throne, completely still. Assuming that The Seer is asleep, the MC approaches the throne and tries to take the Creatio Protocore from him.

However, The Seer awakens and quickly realizes that the MC is not a royal envoy, but an impudent intruder intending to steal the power of the Creatio Protocore for himself. The Seer, known as The Foreseer, freezes the MC in place in the throne room for several days.

While he is trapped in his frozen state, the MC sees The Foreseer reading a book about gardening. Realizing that this might be his only chance for salvation, the MC claims that he is a gardener and that he could be of use to him. Hoping to convince The Foreseer to release him, the MC tries to demonstrate that he has skills that could benefit The Seer.

The Seer eventually relents and takes the MC to the top of the Thorn Tower, where a single jasmine flower grows from the stone wall. He tells him that if the MC can make the jasmine bloom, he may leave the Thorn Tower safely. The MC agrees to these terms, believing that he might find another opportunity to steal the Protocore from him.

Over time, as the MC cares for the jasmine flower, he and The Seer begin to get to know each other. The MC learns that Zayne, the name he now calls The Seer, waits for the Arcticyons to migrate each year and watches over them from the top of the tower. Zayne also helps him make a wish to Astra on Wisshen day by creating hundreds of floating lanterns made of ice.

One day, as the MC explores the castle, he finds a book titled "Philos: Floral Inquiry," which he often sees Zayne reading. Opening the book transports the reader to an endless field of jasmine.

As the bond between the MC and Zayne grows closer, the jasmine at the top of the Tower also thrives, until finally, the flower blooms. The MC takes Zayne to the top of the tower to show him the flower. Zayne explains that others before the MC had tried to make the flower bloom, but only the MC succeeded. He then takes him to the field of jasmine in "Philos: Floral Inquiry." There, Zayne tells the MC that he wants to make sure that he will not lose him again.

As they converse in the jasmine field, the MC's heart suddenly begins to freeze. Zayne realizes that the MC's illness is not an ordinary disease and that Astra is the one who has expedited the progression of his Crioryasis.

Zayne uses that time to confirm his suspicion that the MC is the jasmine in his memories. Although Astra forbids him from seeing his own fate, Zayne unravels the threads of fate and searches for the MC's future, as their lives are forever intertwined.

The punishment for defying Astra should have been death. However, Astra decides to punish Zayne by binding him to the Tower. As he is shackled, ice shards sharper than glass pierce his body, unable to be entirely removed.

The MC finds Zayne shackled in the Tower and frees him, deciding that his life is more valuable to him than curing his illness. He releases him from the shackles and takes him to the roof of the Tower.

There, Zayne reveals to him that his illness is caused by resonating with the Creatio Protocore. As his life fades, the Protocore grows stronger. Because their fates are intertwined, they are condemned together.

Rather than letting him die, Zayne gives him the Creatio Protocore. By doing so, Astra's power becomes his. The MC panics when he realizes that by defying Astra, Zayne will be punished forever. He clings to Zayne and tells him that no matter what happens, he will never forget Zayne.

Suddenly, a snowstorm strikes the Thorn Tower, and the MC is thrown far away. Before Zayne is trapped in ice and snow forever, he uses his remaining magic to give him a jasmine wrapped in ice, as a symbol of his promise to never forget the MC. In that final moment, they gaze at each other, remembering all the beautiful memories they have shared, and Zayne hopes that one day they can meet again, even under different circumstances.
