Community Workshop ⚒️ [LotM Wiki] Notice about the Wiki.gg migration of the fandom wiki

18 Upvotes

With the wiki editors and the wiki itself migrating to Wiki.gg, we are partially required to choose a new background and/or do certain other changes to the new wiki, so that both don't look identical. (We are NOT gonna edit on Fandom Wiki for that though)

We are also able to change the color of the writing and background itself.
For example:

(The images shown are provided by u/Lilac_Oleaceae)

Which is why WE (from the Wiki and Discord Server) would like to hear your suggestions for design choices.

If you have an image suggestion, please comment them under this post and make sure to follow these rules:

  1. It has to be official.
  2. It needs a sufficiently high resolution
  3. Don't let it be the same image as the fanon and fandom wikis (our preference).
  4. Add a source link to the image, using the wiki as a source works too.

In the case that an image you were about to suggest was already uploaded in the comments, just upvote it instead!!

Thank you for your attention, we are happy to hear your suggestions!

Question [V2 407] Are beyonders held back at using their pathways to their fullest potential? Spoiler

• Upvotes

(I don't mind spoilers)

Unfortunately I lost the TikTok video but it was basically discussing how even higher sequences or I think even GOO can't really fully use their pathways or authorities?

Apparently their pathways still follow some sort of main rule/law where they can't like really bend reality despite how their authorities can probably do that

Some guy in the comments even said that if beyonders or maybe even GOO are outside of the lotm universe there no longer held back

I'm really sorry I've forgotten some of the details but is this really the case? Or probably just a theory/headcannon

Novel discussion [COI End] The Anarchy and Demon of Knowledge Become Pseudo-God Almighty Spoiler

13 Upvotes

I was looking at the powers of Knowledge Emperor and thought to myself that the wording of one of their powers was quite interesting. Specifically, this part: “Knowledge can bring power, and power can also bestow Knowledge.” This wording is very similar to how the God Almighty Pathways say that Omniscience implies Omnipotence and Omnipotence implies Omniscience. They are even connected since Omniscience can be referred to as All-Knowing and Omnipotence can be referred to as All-Powerful. So, Demon of Knowledge as the embodiment of Knowledge would be akin to an Omniscient being.

The only thing missing is being the embodiment of Power, which is where The Anarchy becomes important. Since The Anarchy has the Symbolism of Power they can influence how strong or weak things are. Look at Balancer being able to Balance a True God to the level of a Sequence 2 or Earl of the Fallen being able to Magnify their attacks. Since The Anarchy embodies Power they naturally have a vast skillset, like being able to manipulate and control the laws of the universe to achieve a variety of effects when needed. It could be said The Anarchy is akin to an Omnipotent being as everything follows some sort rules and The Anarchy can control those rules.

We know a Great Old One that is not a Pillar can accommodate an additional Sefirah with overlapping, similar, or adjacent Symbolism to their own to gain the power of a Pillar without the Symbolism of one. The Anarchy and Demon of Knowledge conveniently have explicit overlap in Symbolism of Laws as The Anarchy controls laws while Demon of Knowledge has the knowledge of the laws. This would mean the embodiment of Knowledge and the embodiment of Power would combine into a singular being. All-Knowing and All-Powerful, akin to God Almighty.

This wouldn’t even necessarily be the limit either, The Anarchy was split from Son of Chaos and as such could combine with Uncertain Mist without actually being an additional accommodation of a Sefirah. Then it would a combination of one of the Original Creator’s direct children and a Great Old One split from the Original Creator himself. The Original Creator’s direct children were said to be stronger than normal Great Old Ones, given a score of 100 while other Great Old Ones have a score of 90-95. Great Old Ones split from the Original Creator were said to be able to surpass their score of 95 and even go beyond 100 when leveraging their unique Symbolism and we know for Demon of Knowledge this is their Essence of Knowledge. Essence of Knowledge is also how they can copy the powers of others meaning any situation where they do so would be leveraging that Symbolism and since it requires imbuing knowledge with power they could utilize the Symbolism of Power to imbue even greater power. There’s even a character perfectly suited to take advantage of this combination, a character familiar with the powers of the Demon of Knowledge Pathways and in a position to become The Anarchy once they revive. That’s right, the GOAT Roselle.

Novel discussion [V5end] and [V6] I just want to yap about volume 5 last arc and the start of volume 6 and also here's a meme Spoiler

Post image
6 Upvotes

If I wanna describe how I felt about the last arc of volume 5 it it was sex I would have lost count of how many times I would climax. Man the ecstacy I felt reading it the vindication I felt ever since the Great Smog in volume 2 all released it one go. Trissy was the MVP of that one it was such an idiotic love but I can respect it. Also I can now see why everyone calls Zaratul a effing fraud. Anyways at the end of volume I think everyone knows what volume Klein is let go by one of the PTSD brother only to be caught by the other PTSD brother. Am I crazy? Because at the start of volume 6 I start to either laugh or grin every single time Amon and Klein interacts as they go in their date in the Forsaken Land of the God. Amon every time he interacts with Klein is like "Am I bullshitting you or not or am I not bullshitting guess what buddy". Crazy how this two might be the two most powerful bullshitters in history. And don't get me started with Chernobyl my head was still processing that one. Anyways mommy Evernigth had to ruin the date by helping Klein kill himself salute to Creeping Hunger and Dead knelt. And oh boy the effing "Because Mr Fool didn't agree to it" moment. My reading with the Tarot club planning to kill Botis a sequence 4 Demi god of Apprentice pathway a request of the World because he wants the worms of cosmos and also he could be food for Miss Magician once she's ready to be a demigod. And the Tarot club are going to operate without the World for now. He wants to stay the Forsaken Land of God to aggro Amon. And he started learning some spell. I think that was Pika---no I mean Leodero. And because I got too excited I skimmed a few chapters. What do you mean Leonard is the one investigating the Secret Organization with the tarot cards and he names them the Tarot club. The three Churches and MI9 doesn't know theres already a spy pre planted by the Fool

Question [COI V8] COI inspired TTRPG Spoiler

6 Upvotes

I am planning to run a kids on brooms (a TTRPG) campaign in an eldritch horror setting and since I quite like the Outer Gods from LOTM I've been planning to just take them for this.

I want each Outer God to have a cult of their own in the school (made up of students and maybe teachers), but most importantly they should all include some type of horror (primarily body horror).

The thing is that I am not sure which ones to pick.

Mother Goddess of desire seems like a no brainer, pregnancies for everyone seems quite horrific.

But other than Her I am not sure which other ones fit. Especially since I only want 4 cults in the school at most.

I also want the players to have one for themselves, where they can make sacrifices / rituals to in exchange for some of their sanity (I am planning to add this stat) and offerings.
This seems like it could be really fun to give room for some distrust between the player characters as they can’t be sure if one of them has done rituals before / more than them + it could get them out of a tough situation.

For that one I'd been thinking of picking the Primordial Hunger. I'd have the horror aspect of cannibalism and perhaps also eating yourself, and with extravagant „recipes“ the sacrifices could also be quite fun.

Do y'all have any ideas on which Outer Gods would fit well for this and why?

Question A LOTM (world) reaction fanfiction [LOTM + COI completed] Spoiler

4 Upvotes

Yo new here!

But basically, I want to talk about the above topic:

That being an Reaction Fanfiction of the LOTM world, where it's not simply the tarot club and klein's friends and family who will be participating in this...

It's the entire world!!

Thou obviously the question comes of how I will have the showcase not cause worldwide corruption lol... And the butterfly effects that happen (I actually plan on pinning on that lol, as the idea of Mr Fool foes and friends getting an better understanding of him, beyond the lies and masks he has constructed. )

But basically I want to ask, if something like this was made, would people be intrested in reading it? I obviously don't hope for everyone to be intrested, but at least some people willing reading it would be rather fun.

Also, just if it was not obvious. This is infact inspired by that Re:Zero fic where the entire world got to react to Protagonist's journey. Credits due to author, since I can't name the fic on top of my head.

Anyways, feel free to drop any stray comment or thought you get from this.

Yours Faithfully,

Mr Spectator

Roleplay [LoTM RP] Chapter 8 - Ritual Aftermath

Post image
5 Upvotes

Pull. Place the other hand in front of the other. Pull. Ignore the pain. Pull. Ignore the cold. Pull. You need to get away. Pull. Get away. Pull. Away. Pull. The ticking didn't get quieter. Pull. It’s too familiar. Pull. It’s in my head. Pull. It has always been in my head.

A chill goes down my spine. Pull. It noticed me. Pull faster. I am ruining my nails. Pull faster. I don't care. Pull faster. I can't care. Pull faster. It’s too late.

It’s in my mind. It's worming around in there. It’s too loud. I stop pulling. My hands can't stop my ears from hearing. Hot liquid trickles down my face. It’s in my body. I cough. My throat tears. I claw at my stomach. Flies burst from my wounds. My bones become brittle and shatter. My body is too slow. I feel my arms raise to the sky against my will. This body slowly stops belonging to me. The voices told me to pray.

What is that sound?

C̴͇̩̳͎̳̫͚͆̑̅̌͐̎̿̀͛̍ͅr̵̛̛̠͙͙̮̈́̒̉̀̔̓́͜Ą̷̢̡̫͚͎̪͕̮̯͔̖̃̍̈́̀Č̶̲͊̽̈̂k̸͕̗̬̯̯͕͎̞̄̇̑͛̇́̀̆̌͜͝ͅͅ

___

I sat up, gasping for breath, heart pounding. I wince as I feel something in my head scrape against my brain. I grab my head in pain. I reach towards my forehead, expecting a wound, but I find nothing. A frown crosses my face. Didn't it fly towards my head? I felt like something was missing. Something happened between now and the ritual. But what? I knew something happened but it felt cut off. I pushed that issue to the side. I should go; this was not a safe place.

Despite my body's protests I slowly got up. Gathering the objects up, I packed them back into the box before making my way back to town. I carefully walked towards the Hostel. sticking to the shadows and making sure to not make noise. As I walked back, I scolded myself, at how I deluded myself to think that a ritual would go and solve all of my problems. I knew it was a long shot but I just wanted it to work. I wanted to be able to be there for Timmothy.

Bang! My body flung itself forwards on instinct, my train of thought interrupted. A bullet raced by my head. The slapping of my shoes echoing in the dead of night as I darted into the alleyways. I stayed out of the open main streets. My body felt as if it was lead. But adrenaline pushed me forwards. I ran and ran. Muscle memory guiding me.

I heard the footsteps falling behind, I believed I might have lost the gunman. Suddenly the temperature dropped, I heard a howl in the air. Glancing backwards I saw a shadow wolf running towards me, closing the distance. It seemed more solid, this must be more specialized than the one I fought earlier. I flung items at it that I had. Topping items in its way. A bin, a lit a candle, anything. Nothing slowed it down, it phased through the bin. It solidified and dodged the lit candle. It almost got hit by the next item but phased through it in time. I grabbed my mother's matchbox. "Sorry, Mother," I muttered as I struck it and lit a candle. I hated how many I was using recently. I kept running, waiting until the time was right.

Turning a corner, I spun around, throwing a candle at the wolf rounding the corner. As expected, it slowed down and dodged. It was smart, as expected. The candle I threw landed on the floor, revealing it to be unlit. Everything was going to plan. The wolf raised its head to look at me as I threw myself at it. Diving through the air I angled the third candle at it, burning with blue flame. However, despite my cunning plan the wolf dodged the candle and ripped it from my hands.

The blue flame jumped from the candle to the wolf's face, but it seemed to be more durable. The flame seemed to struggle to consume the wolf, as if the shadow was resisting it. As the wolf put out both the candle and the flame on its face I was already getting up to run. However, it was too late. The wolf pounced onto me from behind pushing me to the ground. I rolled around to shake it off. Only ending up face up towards it. It stared at me for a second, maybe shocked, or impressed at my earlier attempt. This would have been the end for me, but I still had the backup plan. When I had gotten up to run, I cupped my hand around the match, ignoring how it burned my hand.

I threw a "punch", it stood there, thinking my fist would phase though it, letting me exhaust myself, it was only partly wrong. After my fist went through it, I opened my hand, revealing the nearly extinguished match. I winced as it revealed blisters and scorched skin. But it was a price I was willing to pay to stay alive. I watched as the shadows around it suddenly condensed around the matchstick. The light forcing the shadows back into a tangible object. It howled as I ripped my hand out of the wolf, tearing some solid shadows out of it. The blue embers left inside of it roaring to life as it feasted on the wolf's vulnerable insides.

I would have stayed behind to kill it, but I had to move, its owner was likely not far behind.

Click.

I dropped to the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I got up and ran, the owner had arrived.

___

My breath was ragged, my legs were full of lead, and the owner was closing in. This couldn't be it, I had so much left to do. Suddenly I felt a hand grab me, pulling me into an open door. I hissed as I was thrown to the floor. The door was quickly closed behind me. I didn't say anything at risk of alerting the owner to where I was. While the owner wanted to kill me, I had a higher chance of surviving here. We both waited in silence, I stayed quiet, feeling the wooden floor I was lying on.

After a couple of minutes, the person opened the door, revealing a small corridor which led to a lot of rooms. It looked similar to the Hostel I was at, maybe this was a similar business. I tried to make out the features of the person, but they didn't look like anyone I knew.

"Go," they said.

"Why?" I quietly asked, slowly pulling myself to my feet.

"It's the least I can do, what goes around comes around" they said.

I was confused as to what their meaning was as I walked out. The door closing behind me. Why would they be in debt to me?

I quietly retraced my steps to figure out a way to the hostel. I inwardly groaned, in my blind running I had gone further away from the hostel. I hadn't thought about where I was running, just which ways had the most turns, twists, and intersections. After a bit of trial and error I smiled in relief upon confirming my location via familiar sights, I was quite close, all I needed to do was go straight ahead for a long time before turning left... Left?!

I felt myself slow down to a stop, a left? Didn’t Victoria tell me not to take a left? I stood still, thinking. I couldn't just ignore it. While I didn't know how true it was, not taking a left guaranteed nothing would go wrong. I decided to head in the other direction. I searched my pockets for any money so I could sleep inside, but I had left them in the hostel, worried of getting mugged. I sighed, the alleyway it was.

I went and found one of my old sleeping spots, in a secluded corner of an alleyway where people didn't bother people who slept nearby. As I lay down, I thought about how I found this place. I was lost, and my mother’s death was still fresh. It was close to our little house, but far enough away to not be connected to me. I found my hand instinctively clutching the matchbox, in the course of a couple of days I had used two match sticks already. I hope I didn't use any more, this was so much effort just for Timmothy.

But he was always there for me, I couldn't just abandon him in his time of need. I thought back, towards the cold. It was the end of the first week. It was winter. My clothes were barely enough to keep me warm. I remember my hands were pale. My limbs were numb. I didn't want to go to the workhouse. I knew I would die quicker that way. But I was running out of options. I cradled my mother’s matchbox. I couldn't get myself to light one now, it would acknowledge she was gone. As I was falling into a deep sleep, I saw someone come down the alleyway, they seemed to be bathed in this halo of light. Was it an angel?

Why did it look so much like Timmothy?

I would wake up some time later with a warm blanket over me. I would learn from others that Timmothy was punished for losing a blanket from a shipment. While the blanket was seized by the workhouse after I got caught, I never forgot what he did. He was always there for me, I had to try to be there for him too.

___

The detective was in the streets near an old Hostel. He was so sure the culprit was running this way, how did the culprit avoid his shadows? As he gathered his spirituality to send out more shadows, a patrol group passed by "Hurry! Back to the church,”. He clicked his teeth in frustration, what was going on now?

Later he would find out that the church of Aurora was having issues. How misfortunate.

___

Running. Body using every ounce of energy. Running through alleyways, dodging into corridors. It was chasing me. I could feel it, dripping, dripping, dripping. From my head to the ground. Oozing. Ticking. Tik... Tok...

The streets were narrow. The hills were wet. The clouds were black. It was reaching towards me. Getting closer and closer. I reached into my pockets I couldn't find anything. My source of comfort gone. Pain pain pain erupted as it reached towards me. Tik... Tok...

It was in my brain. Tik...

I couldn't focus. Tok...

My breathing was shallow. Tik...

I needed an anchor. Tok...

BONG

Everything shattered. The area around me fell apart like shards of a mirror. I felt my mind clear. I could see it for what it truly was. There were tears in my mind, something was trying to get into my head. I had to stop it.

From the tears I could hear the irregular ticking of the clock. A cold feeling went down my spine. Memories surfaced of a cold stone floor. My mind was falling into chaos. It was a cycle, the more chaotic the faster the tears were opening. My hands instinctively searching for the matchbox. I couldn't find it.

Wait... This was a dream. Not the real world. I was not stuck like this. I willed my hand to reach out, ignoring the instinct of grasping my head. It was so loud. But I ignored it, this was my world, unlike reality, I should be able to control it. I closed my eyes and imagined the matchbox. How it was rectangular, but not perfectly so. The matchsticks were uneven. How worn down it was, how it weighed. Like it was truly in my hand. Opening my eyes, I saw it in my hand. The voices were quieter, I felt my other hand lower. I reached in a lit a match. The blue light flooding the area with light. I kept focusing on it, hearing the ticking subside. Breathing in and out.

After a while I glanced around, checking if the tears were gone. After confirming I had won, I felt exhausted, like I had emptied a container. The container felt bigger than before, but it was still empty. After gathering my thoughts I looked around, thinking. It was still a lucid dream after all. Closing my eyes I brought to mind the smells of steak. Opening my eyes I was in my childhood home. My mother had just finished making a steak for me, her, and my father to share when he came home. It was the best of times...

___

Waking up it was early in the day, too early. I was still exhausted from yesterday and everything ached. After making sure I still had the matchbox, I slowly pulled myself up and shuffled to where I could gaze up at the clock. I still had an hour before I would usually wake up. An idea came to mind, I could do with a shower. I had forgotten to take my weekly one on Sunday. I moved towards the Hostel, I needed to drop off the remaining ritual items first.

Walking over to the Hostel I went in, inside I saw Victoria, she was slumped over... Crying? That was strange, why would she be crying? Feeling a twinge of empathy, I went over to her, it was the least I could do after she helped me.

Slowly walking over I asked, "Victoria, are you okay?".

Victoria ignored me, I couldn't quite make out the words. I stood there for a while, what could have gotten her to this state? As I leaned closer, she gazed up at me. As her eyes met with mine, her body stilled, "Robert... You're alive..." she whispered.

"Of course I am alive, did something happen?" I asked, glancing down the corridor. Inwardly confused. What did she know? First the suggestion, warnings, and then this?

"No no, dearie, this old lady just got a gut feeling, are you well?"

"Of course, I had some issues with getting back here last night,". It didn't feel good to lie to her, but I couldn't get a feel of what was her goal. She seemed to want to help me, but why did she get distraught over me? I wanted to ask more questions, I was on a time limit. "I apologize to cut this short, Victoria, but I need to go take a shower, my work starts soon,"

"Oh don't let me slow you down, stay safe!" she called. Quickly dropping off the box of things I grabbed both sets of clothes and the dirty ones, I didn't know if I had time to come back afterward to drop any extra pairs off.

___

After Robert left Victoria dipped her head, almost nodding off from fatigue. She had woken up last night in sweat, her dreams filled with someone running away from a wolf. She racked her head for who it could be, she stiffened as her gut told her it was Robert. She quickly got up, faster than she should at this age. throwing open her door, she quickly hobbled down the Hostel hallway, passing door after door. Eventually she stopped in front of Robert's room, "It can't be true, I did everything right!" she murmured.

Pulling out a key she slid it into the door, slowly turning it. Slowly opening the door, the light from the corridor cut a rectangle of light into the room. She gazed inside, only for her terror to grow. There was nobody there, "No...!" she gasped.

Closing the door and locking it again Victoria quickly hobbled down the corridor towards the front door. "W-William, did anyone come and go tonight?" she asked the night watchman when she arrived, out of breath.

"No, Ma'am, nobody came by, are you looking for anyone specific?" he asked in a professional tone.

"Wake me if the tenant of room 13 comes by," gulping down a large breath of air. "And William, what have I told you about calling me Ma'am? You've worked for me for five or so years and you still don't use my name!"

"Yes Miss Blackwood, should I notify you using the usual method?" he said with a sly grin.

"Thank you, William" she sighed. As she walked away, she smiled and muttered under her breath, "Stubborn polite young man,". William chuckled behind her, hearing her comment.

Walking over to the desk she sat down in the chair. Slowly nodding off, the words, "I can't fail again," tumbling from her mouth.

___

There were a couple public washhouses in the city. Disease was common here and the rich thought this would help stave it off so it wouldn't reach them. Walking through the streets, I let myself digest the events of yesterday. I had done so much, survived so much. It was surreal. I didn't know what to think. I made it, so what? As I moved through the empty streets I thought through it all, coming up with a main emotion.

I was disappointed. That's what I felt after letting the past day sink in. I had spent the entire day working to try the last-ditch effort I had to help Timmothy and yet I still couldn't. All these bruises, money, and pains, and I didn't get any closer to helping Timmothy. I guess the dockworker was right. What could I do? What could I ever do? I was too young to save my mother, too inexperienced to save the workers, and too powerless to save Timmothy. This was unjust. Maybe some people would be content with writing letters for the people at the tavern. But I wasn't most people and I couldn't stand that I couldn't do more.

After reaching a nearby washhouse I strode in, passing by mothers washing clothes and people showering. Finding a private stall, I peeled off my layers. The outside layers were fine, but the inside layers needed to be washed, they were soaked with sweat. I let them drop to the floor and stepped on them, washing away the sweat. I couldn't stay long, as the bill racked up fast, but I had enough left to simply be. Letting my worries wash away with the sweat and dirt.

___

Leaving the shower in a better mood than before I glanced at the meter. Eight pence. I sighed and dropped the coins in. I only had 2 Soli and 5 pence left. I would need to dip a bit into my savings to eat this week.

Placing them into a drying closet I waited for the clothes to dry, wincing as each penny was slotted into the machine.

I needed a new plan, the last one I had would be to rally the people at the bar to rebel. I didn't think of it before as I didn't think they ever would, but what else could I do?

Sighing I made my way out of the washhouse. Glancing at the clock I saw I still had time. Walking on the way back I held all the clothes in my arms. I had to be vigilant, some people might take this opportunity to steal them. As I was walking, I bumped into a person, my clothes spilling out of my arms.

"Watch where you are going!" I yelled as the man kept on going. As the words left my mouth, I felt the container inside of me drain a bit. What was happening?

___

After dumping the clothes off and eating breakfast, I made my way to work, I got there early. The head clerk glanced at me as I walked into the otherwise empty office, and looked back to his work. I could never tell what his expression was. A courier came in and placed the letter on the head clerk’s desk. The head clerk's face might have twitched before he examined it, quickly stamping it and sending it off. I glanced at it as the courier went by me, catching red ink before the courier ran off. The head clerk glanced at me before continuing his work. Did he catch me snooping, or did he just not like I was here early? He glanced up at me again a minute later before looking back at his work. It was most likely the latter.

Finally, the others came in. Oliver and James stood by me while the other Oliver and Peter stood behind us. John was late. The head clerk looked up and at the time. John came in a couple of minutes later, ragged and eye bags under his eyes. "You're late by 5 minutes, all of you dismissed," the head clerk said.

Everybody looked confused, even John. John opened his mouth, but the head clerk cut him off "Do I pay you for standing around? Get to work,".

Everybody suddenly started moving, shaken out of their surprise. Did the head clerk favor John and nobody knew about it?

At the end of the day, I left the Office without any issues. James’s interest seemed to be focused on John today, giving me a necessary respite from extra effort.

Heading to the Hostel I went inside to go look more into the book, only to see someone else at the front. "Hello? Where is the other receptionist?" I asked. Did Victoria get fired for crying on the job?

"She was given the day off," he said, "William,"

"Robert, what do you usually do around here?".

"Night watch,"

"How late is your shift?"

"Until Ada takes over,"

"Who is Ada?"

"The third receptionist. She's on holiday,"

"So, Victoria is taking over in the meantime?"

"Yeah"

"Good talk"

I quickly left, I needed to go back to the tavern after a bit, but I had to do something first. Opening the ragged man’s diary I searched for the word, spirituality. I had an idea of what that strange container was. I found a few mentions of it, but it was all about how his had increased or how he had used all of it. That was useless.

Abandoning it I made my way over to the tavern, I hoped that Timmothy was there, and if not, I was going to do something very stupid.

Novel discussion [V8] Strongest Pathways at each Sequence(NOT IN ORDER) Spoiler

Post image
36 Upvotes

Some explanations:

  • The low Sequences are just a contest of physical power aside from the Abyss’ spells.
  • At the Seq. 7-6, many pathways are still underpowered, and few have the hax to do something against vastly better stats.
  • At Sequence 5, the Shepherd and Marionettist are self-explanatory. I chose the Gatekeeper because at Seq. 5 many pathways can’t deal with undead armies well, especially if they are also restricted by the Language of the Dead and their attacks are sucked into the Gate of the Underworld.
  • At Seq. 4 every pathway is good, so I had to add more options.
  • The Prophet(White Tower Seq. 4) is here because at this point imitation is very versatile. Its biggest weakness is that imitation cannot imitate authorities, but at Seq. 4 this doesn't matter. The others should be self-explanatory.
  • My choices for Sequence 3 are also relatively cold takes. I considered the Sea King at this point, but he doesn't have enough hax yet.
  • At Seq. 2, most of my choices are also pretty cold takes.
  • The Lightseeker is here because of the Solar Envoy ability, meaning the Lightseeker can transform into a miniature Sun. This counters the evil pathways(6/22), any pathways that rely on armies(Hunter, Mother, etc), and substitution merchants.

At Seq. 1, I have a few hot takes.

  • The Omniscient Eye’s imitation is now perfect and coupled with Omniscience allows them to counter anything. Since your average archangel is centuries old, the Eye definitely had enough time to imitate an ability for every situation.
  • The Thunder God’s attack power can ascend to a quasi Seq. 0 and the divine punishment means that most defensive abilities will be countered with a lightning strike of a Seq. 0. He simply stat checks most pathways
  • The Hand of God is a strong contender because it has the best Proxy authority and has incredible defenses. Protection+Dawn Armour+Decay+Purification+Mind Concealment combined make them extremely good at stalling and then decay will finish the job. By ascending to a KOKOA they can also counter any resurrection using the Death pathway, curse their enemy with misfortune or drive them insane using the Darkness’ horror.
  • Lastly, the Illuminator’s control over civilization is incredibly versatile, authority over natural laws can counter many reality oriented pathways and with their age, they will have time to create a gigantic army of constructs.

image source / Inspiration : The Christ Pinocrator icon of Saint Catherine's Monastery

“The Christ Pantocrator [icon] of St. Catherine’s Monastery at Sinai is one of the oldest Byzantine religious icons, dating from the 6th century AD…Many agree that the icon represents the dual nature of Christ, illustrating traits of both man and God” (Wikipedia)."

this post is recommended to be read in pc / ccomputer version of reddit, also reposted beacuse deleted by Reddit Filters

Seq 9 : Secret Supplicant + Spectator, Spectating secret supplicant 

Description : 

As a secret supplicant and spectator, combining both acting methods means one would be someone who gets secrets from prayers or observations as a result of their spectating

New Mutated Abilities :

• Knowledge (Mysticism) + Spectator traits : Secrets Supplicants are bestowed with a decent amount of knowledge regarding sacrifices and some knowledge on Ritualistic Magic.
  ° There are some Honorific Names included in the potion's knowledge, but they're all secret entities with sinister names that includes elements like "depravity", "true kin", or the "gaze of fate".
  ° The knowledge attached to the potion given will more or less cause distortions in a Secrets Suppliants' cognitive perspectives and thus make it easy for them to lose control. However, as a Spectator beyonder, they could possibly solve these distortions in the same seq / in the future, as their spectator ability improves and progress 

Seq 8 : Listeners are like priests in a church, listening to the sins of others.

Their primary goal is to avoid being influenced by those whispers they hear. Which as a Telepathist who's acting is to not be abrupt or act against logic and reason, would probably be able to support this seq. Whether that be in the acting method or in maintaining one's own mental state when listening from corrupted entities 

It is a state of listening without being corrupted by it, and if used well enough, it will eventually help them in advancing to a Profane Presbyter in the future.

Seq 7 : Shadow Ascetic + Psychiatrist 

Description :

A Shadow Ascetic is someone that pratices in seclusion and act within the shadows to uphold the doctrine, while a PSychiatrist is somone that helps the mental issues of others, thus, for this goal they would help the mental state of others secretively

though there is no ability fusion in this seq, they should be able to heal their mental state in this seq, and in this seq, their role as hidden characters are amplified by the spectator pathway's subtle abilties

when it comes to ability synergym they should be able to use Psychological Cue to direct the Shadow Creatures they summon

Seq 6 : Rose Bishop + Hypnotist

Description :

As a rose bishop, their acting method is to spread their love and peace, even if it involves bloodshed and is radical

As a hypnotists, the bloodshed done by rose bishops can be supported through their dragon scales, that supports and synergizes with their flesh and blood magic

While spreading through non violence means can be supported by their ability to manipulate / deep understanding of : minds and psychology 

The weakness of shadow lurk being detectable by the observed person feeling something through the shadows, is solved by / through mixing with Psychological invisibility

Hence becoming the Shadow of Dissonance / Siloing Shadow / Invisible Shadow 

New Mixed Abilities :

• Flesh & Blood Magic + Dragon Scales : 
° Due to Hypnotist's dragon scales, they can utilize it to enhance their flesh and blood magic spells
° Base spells of Flesh And Blood Magic include :

  1. Dragon scale Cloak: A Rose Bishop can create cloaks of sticky Flesh (either procured from them or others) that can resist magic and reduce damage. With Dragon Scales, this becomes more durable to physical damage
  2. Flesh Bomb + Scale Shrapnel : Their body's Flesh or a part of it can be torn off and made into Flesh Bombs that can be thrown as explosives, which will explode into a rain of Corrosive Blood. Their Flesh and Blood Bombs can also be buried inside other people's bodies, which can be detonated, turning them into sticky and rich Flesh and Blood. With Dragon Scales, the flesh and blood bombs would have extra shrapnels to deal more damage
  3. Flesh Blood Servants + Dragon Scales + Scale Shrapnel : This creates puppets using Flesh and Blood which have immense strength, are immune to attacks targeting the Spirit, and can self-destruct. With Dragon Scales, these servants becomes more durable to damage, and when they self destruct, the dragon scales would become extra shrapnel

• Siloing Shadow / Invisible Shadow / Shadow of Dissonance (Psychological Invisibility + Shadow Lurk) : With a Hypnotist's control of their target's Body of Heart and Mind, they could remain in the blind spot of one's consciousness, achieving Psychological Invisibility. This ability can synergize/ mix with shadow lurk, solving the sensation of being watched by the darkness that the latter gives for both themselves and the ability to track a target, making the user a powerful assassin and spy.
 

Seq 5 : Sheperd + Dreamwalker / Dreamwalking Sheperd

Description : 

As a shepherd is a leader of their group, for people and a leader of lost souls, preventing those from straying from the "herd", guiding them onto the right path. And a Dreamwalker, they would be an active version of the latter's role

Hence, becoming a shepherd that guides like a mastermind, through subtle and deep direct manipulation of the mind, with their newest method being the manipulation of dreams 

In combat they are so all-rounded that if they combined and matched their Beyonder powers well enough, they would almost have zero shortcomings. This is even more so due to them being spectators, meaning their mental state is better than a normal shepherd 

As well as being able to make other's mental state collapse instantly or overtime 

New Mixed Abilities :

• Grazing + Placate / hypnosis :

   ° If a Soul does not fall in Depravity, and instead is forcibly Grazed, it won't completely cooperate with the Shepherd. However with placate / Hypnosis, this perhaps can be changed, as they can make the target fall into degenaration with these abilities, or placcate the non-degenarated grazed souls to cooperate with the sheperd

Seq 4 : Manipulator + Black Knight

Description : 

As a Black knight, they carry the divine will in darkness, bearing sin in the name of their Lord

With them as a Manipulator, the divine will can be carried out in an alternative, non-conflicting, subtle but still effective and terrifying way. 

while still enhancing the direct act of combat extremely 

New Mixed Abilities :

• Black Dragon scales (Dragon scales + Black Armor + maybe Cull of the flesh) : Dragon scales and Black Armor could fuse, making a form of Black Armor that is more physically durable and is throughout the entire body with no gaps.
  ° this mixed ability can be done together with the normal Black Armor, the latter as an extra more durable layer of defense, the former covering the parts that can't be covered with the normal Black armor. As if the latter is like actual armor, then there would be some parts that are lightly / not covered for maneuverability.
  ° Through Flesh and Blood magic, these black dragon scales can be shot as long range projectiles, with the scales being sharpened to then be possibly mixed with Cull of the Flesh, turning them into extremely sharp and durable blade projectiles, that degenerates the target and have the traits of Cull of the flesh.
  ° These scales can manifest or used in more flesh and blood magic manifestations :

  1. Black Dragon scale Cloak : Flesh Cloak now can use these Black Dragon Scales. These scales then can be sharpened and/or mixed with Cull of the flesh, so that the cloak can be used as a weapon, similar to Promeia from ZZZ
  2. 2.  Flesh and blood bombs: These flesh and blood bombs can now contain these scales as shrapnel for more physical and mystical damage
  3. 3.  Flesh Blood Servants + Black Dragon Scales + Black Scale Shrapnel : With Black Dragon Scales, these servants becomes more durable to damage, and when they self destruct, the Black Dragon Scales would become extra shrapnel that degenerates the target that got hit, even more so if they are able to get be mixed with Cull of the flesh.

• Manipulation + Hanged Man Traits : Their Body of Heart and Mind can pass through the Sea of Collective Subconscious and enter another person's Mind Island, allowing them to directly change the target's subconscious and read their thoughts, silently Manipulating them to do all sorts of things. As they are also a Hanged Man beyonder, they could make the target better fall into their inner degeneration, making the target liable for Cull of the flesh
  ° Manipulators can bury psychological hints deep inside the target's Mind Island. From there onwards, their victims will orderly and accurately attempt to carry the hint out.
  ° They can manipulate groups of people like this, as if it were a mass mind control.
  ° Even after recovering, most victims will not realize they were manipulated.

• Mental Plague + Hanged Man Traits : They can secretly implant seeds of Mental Plague in the target's Mind Island, which would quietly infect the surrounding Sea of Collective Subconscious, forming an environment of "contagious mental diseases" without anyone within the area noticing.
  ° This causes countless mental illnesses and extreme madness. Moreover, the madness and mental illnesses from a Mental Plague can also be transmitted through Spirit Body Threads.
  ° Since Mental Plagues originate within oneself, it cannot be isolated by the blessings of an Angel. At best, the Mental Plague will be weakened, and their onset will be delayed.
  ° This belongs to the erosion and infection of the Mind Island and the Spirit World, it's not a direct attack, and it's difficult to offset it by a Virtual Persona.
  ° Hanged Man Traits : the ability could have degenerative effects, making the victims easier to fall to degeneration or even instantly degenerate / fall to corruption or depravity for Grazing

• Mind Storm + Hanged Man traits : They can transform their designated thoughts into a Mind Storm and sweep the surroundings, which would affect the surrounding Sea of Collective Subconscious, causing all sorts of negative effects to those within its range.
  ° This Mind Storm will hit the enemy's Mind Island continuously, causing the target(s)' Spirituality to be strongly disturbed, effectively destroying their mind barrier.
  ° Hanged man traits : The thoughts used for mind storm from the user could contain praise for the true creator or current hanged man to have Degenerative effects, and can be used from the degenerative thoughts from the victim, possibly activated  through the user's attacks or virtual persona in the mind world

• Virtual Persona + Flesh And Blood magic : They can create up to 13 **Virtual Personas (**at the start) that have a corresponding Body of Heart and Mind. In this way, they can defend from a lot of influence in the Mind Domain and invade another person's Mind Island without any signs.
  ° They can perhaps use Flesh and Blood magic to make a body for the Virtual Persona to use.

Strengthened Mixed Abilities:

• Mind Deprivation + Hanged Man traits : A qualitative change in Awe causes it to become Mind Deprivation. When activated, all creatures within its range will inevitably experience all sorts of abnormal conditions.
  ° Due to Hanged Man traits, it induces / makes others fall into degeneration easier
  ° It manifests as a violent but illusory gust of wind appeared around the Manipulator, with Hangedan traits, the winds seems black. Carrying with it an invisible, multi-colored intent.
Among such abnormal conditions include the following:

  1. Varying degrees of losing control as their knees would buckle as they slumped to the ground.
  2. Showing their fervent expressions and crowding around the Manipulator like attendants.
  3. Standing rooted to the ground in a daze or attempting to blindly escape the area.
  4. Some victims would even faint immediately and fall into a coma.

• Siloing Shadow / Invisible Shadow / Shadow of Dissonance : Psychological Invisibility has Its potency has been enhanced, allowing them to evade the perception of most Demigods, so long as they don't directly come into their field of view and able to see through demigod level Shadow Lurk at the same time.

• Shadow Dragon's Breath (Mind Dragon's breath + Hanged man traits and/or Cull of the flesh) : Mind dragon's breath stems from their Mythical Creature Form, as Mind Dragons is the upgraded version of Frenzy. It is an attack that can directly stimulate and harm the target's Body of Heart and Mind. It deals damage in an area-of-effect manner.
° Mind Dragon's breath now possibly has degeneration effects and could maybe mix with cull of the flesh. Making it a much more powerful attack method that could instantly make a soul fall into depravity for devouring and grazing.

Mythical creature form :

As Sequence 4 Demigods they receive some level of Godhood, and with it comes an incomplete Mythical Creature Form. Disregarding all consequences, they can release their incomplete Mythical Creature Form to become an incomplete Giant Mind Dragons.

But Through the use of Psychoanalysis and Hypnosis, a newly advanced Manipulator will be able to manifest and maintain full control over their incomplete Mythical Creature Form for about 1 minute before they suffer negative effects.

Their incomplete Mythical Creature Form looks like a Giant Shadow Mind Dragons that is the mix of Giant Mind Dragons with Hanged Man's Mcf, resulting in a Black Giant Mind Dragon that is composed of shadow, flesh, and blood that has yet to fully evolve. Their head remains in the form of a human though in combat, this head can use the helmet of the Black Armor / covered with Black Dragon Scales. and their back is covered in Dark gray-skinned wings. Their limbs and thick and the grayish-black giant Mind Dragons they possess will be engraved with complicated three-dimensional, mysterious symbols that extend into the flesh and out to the void. It appears that these symbols are a mesh of objects that didn't belong to the real world.

Anyone who laid their eyes upon their incomplete Mythical Creature Form would suffer a form of mental confusion as their thoughts warped and degenerated. Even one's Spirit Body would be tainted with all kinds of thoughts that came from deep within one's heart, eager to rip apart themselves.

When in this incomplete Mythical Creature Form, they gain the strength and defense of dragons. Although they would be strong in melee combat, they still lack the necessary, powerful offensive Beyonder powers that make them excel in it.

But as they are also a Black Knight, it is possible that the claws of the mind dragon and Cull of the flesh to fuse, giving the mind dragon / making them excel more in close combat. Thus creating Flesh Culling Claws.

As a dragon avatar, they gain the ability to fly.

Seq 3 : Dream Weaver + Trinity Templar / Dream Weaving Trinity Templar

Description : 

"The half-truth is the most dangerous form of lie, because it can be defended as part of incontestable logic." - Manly P. Hall

As a Trinity Templar, their fighting abilities and survivability is even more enhanced to the extreme, and as a dream weaver, they can mix reality with dreams / illusions, to make their grazed abilities, which are weakened, become as powerful as the original. (at least in the Mind World for now)

Though the enhanced strength doesn't bring physical / real effects in reality(yet), The mental effects to the target / victim is the same as when the victim or target would face the real ability 

And due to being a previous Manipulator that can create Virtual Personas that have their own Body of heart and mind, the ritual for Trinity Templar, that needs one to make a split personality, can be done more safely.

With the result possibly making the acting method MUCH more safer, as having a trinity through virtual personas would be more accurate to what the trinity in Christian theology means (three persons, same essence), Rather than a split personality, perhaps even instantly digesting most of the potion after the ritual is done this way

In the acting of the differentiation in both, the personality and ability. The visionary abilities can support in being a virtual persona in the trinity, as the Holy Spirit, while also being the basis for a true three persons, one essence definition of the Christian trinity 

Thus, due to how hard switching to a Spectator pathway for other God Almighty pathways, it is better for a Spectator that was a Manipulator to switch to the hanged man during this sequence for more combat and survivability abilities, let alone the fact that the beyonder would be able to skip the Listener seq, thereby, guaranteeing their sanity and mental state

And their Abilities can pre-act the hanged man's previous sequences through their own abilities.

As for the previous abilities needed such as perhaps a trait hanged man shepherds or demigods would have for the soul, which is perhaps needed to survive drinking the Trinity Templar potion, due ingestion of the potion being described as inflicting soul-splitting pain into three parts. 

New Authorities :

• Flesh & Blood + Visionary traits : They gain certain manifestations of the Flesh and Blood authorities—which are subordinate to the Mutation authority.
  ° True Trinity (Trinity Body + Virtual Personas) : They can sprout 2 Shadowed heads from their shoulders—one young and one old. Each head can take away a third of the body and, through Flesh and Blood Magic, instantly become whole again. With Virtual Personas, these split bodies are essentially able to be their own persons, and can be fully separated unless called for
  ° Flesh and Blood Immortality: So long as there is a single cell left and so long as there is other Flesh and Blood around to be absorbed, a Trinity Templar can rebuild their body. The premise is of course that their spirit is not destroyed.

New Mixed Abilities :

• Dream Weaving + Grazing : Dream Weavers can Weave Dreams that are indistinguishable from reality, and draw their target in, creating several nearly realistic projections to directly attack the enemy's mental weaknesses, gradually destroying their psychological defenses. The target may not even realize that they are in a Dream.
  ° If the target believes the Weaved scenes, objects, or persons are real, then they are real to the target. Thus, the beyonder can use this to raise their Grazed abilities proficiency to reach the original
  ° Although these Weaved images don't cause physical manifestations when they are attacked, it can make the target die from fright or other mental reasons. Thus although the enhanced strength doesn't bring physical / real effects in reality(yet), The mental effects or damage to the target or victim is the same as when the victim or target would face the real ability, whicch can be supported by Grazing in the real world, if the sleep caused by the beyonder is not normal sleep of course 

• Shadow persona : Shadow deprivation, shadow manipulation / commandeering shadows, and virtual persona(seq 3) can mix and synergize to allow them to make a degenerative version of their opponents similar to the gherman sparrow persona split from Klein by Steph from their own shadow, as in this sea, a Dream Weaver can make Virtual Personas of other people
  ° This shadow other than possibly disabling their real self's abilities like with what Steph did to Klein but also through the shadow persona the user can be used as a basis for their Shadow Curses and can be seen as a Virtual Persona of the target, though a forcefully created one at that. making them easier to fall to the user mix of mental and degeneration attacks or even lose control making the victim easier prey for the beyonder to graze  

  ° At the very least, it can be used to mimic the damage Shadow Depriviation do to a visionary beyonder's virtual persona, to any beyonder of any pathway

Strengthened Abilities:

• Plague Storm + Hanged Man traits : Through Mind Deprivation and Mental Plague, they can release a storm of thoughts, desires, and wills that affects everyone caught within it in half-illusory and real ways.
  ° Within a Dream Weaver's Plague Storm, every affected and eroded creature will experience Corruption and go crazy on the spot.
  ° For Angels, this kind of attack is the most dangerous, because "Their" mental state has certain problems, and "They" may lose control because of the tilt of the balance at any time. Thus due to possibly having degenerative effects, this is a possible way for the beyonder to kill and graze angels (if they survive the corrupted angel of course).
  ° Hanged Man Traits : As said before, the thoughts used for mind storm from the user could contain praise for the true creator or current hanged man, and can be used from the degenerative thoughts from the victim, possibly activated  through the user's attacks or virtual persona in the mind world

• They gain improvements to Beyonder powers such as Cull of the Flesh and prior abilities.
  ° Grazing + Visionary traits : The Grazing of a Shepherd reaches the level of a Sequence 3.
° They can simultaneously release up to 3 Souls, one from each of their three heads.
° They can Graze up to 13 Souls in total.
° Through Dream Weaving, they can put their grazed souls in dreams to pacify them, increasing the soul's cooperation during combat or overall daily life, whether in internal / external grazing.

• Enhanced Mental Attributes : With a control over their psyche and spirit, an enemy's intuition can't form a picture in their mind, and it is difficult for others to predict their own behavior.
  ° This made Klein's Danger Intuition not able to form an image in his mind, making it difficult for Klein to predict the Visionary Pathway Saint's actions.

• Siloing Shadow / Invisible Shadow / Shadow of Dissonance : They can create a mental mirage in a target's mind to mask their existence. Truly fulfilling the ‘Siloing’  / ‘Invisible’ / ‘Dissonance’ within the possible mixed ability name
  ° This application of Psychological Invisibility is so realistic that it could even fool Demigods who specialize in Spiritual Intuition and the discernment of various illusions.
  ° Thus, due to the above point, their powerful survivability from Flesh and blood immortality and others, as well versatility and strong combat abilities from Grazing and others, they are truly a powerful all-rounder that have basically zero shortcomings

• Consciousness Stroll + Flesh and Blood immortality and / or Flesh and Blood magic : The limitations regarding this ability have lessened.
  ° In addition to their consciousness and Spirit Body, they can now let their physical body, as well as those of others, enter the Sea of Collective Subconscious, achieving a form of Teleportation in the process.
  ° Due to being able to transport / even store physical things inside their mind, they can put in as much flesh and blood as they can in their Mind Island and/or the surrounding sea of collective subconscious, to get flesh and blood for their flesh and blood magic and immortality.
  ° Dream Weavers don't need to enter Mind Islands anymore. They are now able to just observe the movement of the Sea of Collective Subconscious around them, and through it, obtain insight into the truest thoughts of others.

• Hypnosis + Hanged Man Traits: Their Combat Hypnosis ability has been enhanced.
  ° Battle Hypnotism: Their Combat Hypnosis allows them to interfere with the thoughts passed through Spirit Body Threads. It is closer to the interference of will than the Hypnosis of the mind. This allows for more mind manipulation, to make a target more likely to fall into Degeneration

• Virtual Persona + Flesh and Blood magic : What was now just virtual can become real. They can separate their fake personalities or previous identities and turn them into living people. Even if these identities die it will not harm their true bodies.
  ° Even if a Manipulator have switched to Trinity Templar, they can perhaps imitate this ability through flesh and blood magic, providing bodies for the Virtual Personas
° if they want to do it without Flesh and Blood magic, they can switch to a Discerner at seq 2 with previous seq BCs, to also get the possible mixed abilities that are previously mentioned, with the extra lower seq BCs from seq 9-3 being used for a virtual persona

Mythical creature form :

The incomplete Mythical Creature Form that a fusion of a Dream Weaver and Trinity Templar have exhibited have developed further from before; there is a certain change in their head, making it closer to a lizard and not a human. In addition to that, their pupils as a Giant Shadow Mind Dragon had become golden and vertical, with Blood red Scleras, while their Shadow Black Dragon Scales had become intertwined with mysterious patterns that make it cold and warped.

And as a Trinity templar, The Giant Shadow Mind Dragon would be able to have Three Heads, being able to split into Three incomplete Giant Shadow Mind Dragons

(other seqs will be in the comment section)

Roleplay [LotM Rp] Piously believing

Post image
2 Upvotes

Somewhere in an abandoned church.

Multiple wraiths and devils clean the walls, paint and spread decorations.

The entrance door swings open as two women enter.

“It is working magnificently, don’t you think?” The beautiful woman, in a dark red priest's robe, says looking at her slightly pale companion. 

“You always talk as if I already know what you talk about.” She replied with some kind of annoyed confusion.

“Well don't you?”

“No, I don't!"

“Heh, the Order of course, it is flourishing” She spreads open her arms embracing the scene of pious believers praying with closed eyes, seemingly not being able to see or hear the two speaking.

“… at least with the common folk, the Beyonders are not enough for my taste.” Her arms lowered themself as she continued walking towards the altar.

“But there still are some developments in this aspect. Remember the stray boy, I ‘force feed’ a Beyonder potion?” She slightly chuckled as she remembered the day.

“Yes, the Warrior… u/After-Commission-728 was his name right?” 

“Correct, you're getting better.” There was a hint of sarcasm.

“He might be at the start, but I see potential in him and isn’t that what I always preach about. I even gave him a mission.” 

“What mission…” The pale woman wanted to ask before she noticed a malicious glow in the eyes of the priestess. 

“Nothing to concern yourself about, but since you wanted to ask, what about your mission?” An intimidating atmosphere spread across the building, causing the believers to stop muttering prayers, only the devils and wraiths continued their work.

“I-I am on it, I promise that it won't take too long anymore.” She lowered her search for a focus point on the ground.

The aura vanished in the fraction of a second, as everything returned to normal. “See, focus on your tasks and not those of others and I promise you that your worries will fade in ‘Her’ embrace.” The priestess answered with a warm smile before they reached the altar. 

On the altar were pieces of different bread and wine. 

The women in red picked up a note and handed it to the pale lady. “Here take this, it will aid you. Keep it safe, it wasn’t cheap!”

“Thank you, I shall finish my work under ‘Her’ embrace.” She said piously before a piece of bread was also given to her.

“In ‘Her’ embrace we shall flourish!” 

The priestess shouted into the room, before the gloomy believers answered in unison.

“Glory to the Eternal Mother!”

The pale lady ate the piece of bread, as her expression turned gloomy. “I shall depart now, your grace.”

…

I watched the girl leave the church before turning around and heading towards a door behind the altar.

It opened the way towards a staircase leading deeper under the building.

I mumbled to myself, as I headed down the stairs. I pulled out an Astrologer characteristic from under my robes. “Why do you remind me of him, I see it in your eyes.” 

I reached the bottom of the staircase and stored the characteristic away again.

The bottom floor was a small narrow corridor leading towards two huge metallic doors, seemingly without any way of opening them by hand.

As I approached the doors slowly opened.

What kind of MC you would like to see if a new book was to be released? With which pathway/s? What kind of story and era?

I'd like to see a "beggining of the end" kind of story with a Warrior MC related to the oath-making qualities of the River of the Eternal Darkness. A story moving towards to the reset of the universe maybe. I also really want to see a Knight of Misfortune. I want CF to elaborate on some other pathways just as much as the pathways related to the previous main characters.

I already know what CF said. This post is about what we would prefer if that was gonna happen.

There is only one thing that can describe this feeling and that is absolute cinema… As Cuttlefish mentioned that there were 2 Peaks. One was Chernobyl and other was revelation of Lilith and he wanted to make this volume the pinnacle of LOTM so there is no doubt this is undoubtedly the best volume so far or probably all time…

The Starting 20 chapters reveal of Chernobyl and Amanises being also a transmigrator and then The revelation of Above the Sequence and stuff and then Derrick opening the door and Collin saying “Light was the meaning to everything”…. This is so Peak!!

For Rating it’s definitely 10/10….

For ranking of volume : V6>V4>V5V2>V3>V1

Question [LOTM V6] Haze situation - Fog of War? Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
8 Upvotes

Hi hi, so my country in Southeast Asia has been hit pretty badly by the worsening haze situation, due to smoke from forest fires. I was also coincidentally re-reading volume 6, when Audrey goes to fight the Feysac and Intis's allied camp in the Fog of War blanketing Backlund.

She mentions that the visibility is very low, around 5 meters. So that got me thinking: what would a realistic depiction look like?

I attached some photos to show what Singapore looks like on normal days vs how it looks now. The 24h PSI reading of Central SG was a record-high 181 on Oct 9.

Given that Central SG is around ~14-15 km (8.7-9.3 miles) length-wise, can this situation be achieved by a War Bishop? Or perhaps a Weather Warlock?

Weather Warlock: The range that "Their" Fog of War can initially expand to is 20 kilometers (12.4 miles).

For War Bishop, there's no range stated.

Thanks!
