The One Charm I Find About LOTM Is That Due To Its Vast World Building, I Can Just Keep On Having Thoughts

The one charm I find about LOTM is that due to its vast world building, I can just keep on having thoughts about different things all the time. Like, especially the fourth epoch. All we ever really heard and seen through Klein’s eyes are all these powerful characters descending into madness, not giving a shit about each other, or fighting. Then I remember that at some point in their life they’re acquaintances, one could even call them friends at certain point. Like I crave to see Antigonus interacting with Adam, Amon, or Bethel. Or Alista and Trunsoest before Trunsoest basically betrayed Alista, so on so forth. (Or like- I forgot which epoch it was, but I would love to see Pallez despite being an uncanny horror entity act like a grandpa on steroids to his grandchildren. I can imagine him pulling casual pranks on his descendants and getting a kick out of it. Oh, man.. now I’m feeling something about the way he treats Leonard and the way Leonard instinctively calls Pallez the way his own family would call him..)

It’s like the feeling I get whenever I see High cloud Quintet in HSR. They were something else before this, but so much time had passed that all that remains are ruins. It’s so fascinating.

The Dokkaebis have no idea what they’re doing when assigning modifiers.

Demon-like Judge of Fire : fujoshi angel, sweetest angel out there, judge of fire is old role

Prisoner of the Golden Headband : Prisoner but can still solo many myth grade constellations

Abyssal Black Flame Dragon : chunni. But this guy got a modifier change, so no comment, he made this himself.

Secretive Plotter : Not secretive, sucks at plotting

Demon King of Salvation : Salvation for everyone but himself.

If the ORV Fanbase makes the modifiers it’ll be chaotic.

I just love Secretive Plotter.

He's a walking, talking dumpster fire. Trash fave. He's the biggest loser in the entire book. He's been hanging around Kim Dokja's channel from the very start and yet still somehow thought it would be a good idea to send Kim Dokja to assassinate Yoo Joonghyuk. He has no idea what he's doing. I guarantee you he himself didn't know why the hell he kidnapped Kim Dokja, so he just went "You're smart, figure it out" while internally going "Nailed it!". He spent pretty much the whole book wearing Kim Dokja's white cloak and a veil waiting for his prince on a white ferrarghini. He made a deal with the devil, then found out he'd sold his soul to himself, fucking up twice and earning a headache that would last 40 000 years. He's one of the very, very few characters to earn an unambiguous happy ending.

Dude's nickname is Secretive Plotter. He is terrible at being secretive and he's shit at plotting.

I'm lowkey pissed we'll never find out what would have happened if Kim Dokja had accepted his sponsorship offer back after the first scenario. Schrodinger's Ouroboros. The disaster that we've lost.

I feel like out of all the layers of secrets and concealment Klein hides, the people that would probably be shocked the most if those secrets ever comes to light would be the Moretti siblings.

Imagine you have a brother. Brother was going to go find a typical 9-5 job, but then he suddenly “finds a better job” and boom all your livelihoods improve ‘cause of his earnings. He also starts to cook really well, but you chalk it down to him learning from his friend’s chef. Then one day, he dies on duty. You mourn for him and miss him desperately. You move to a bigger city and occasionally feel like he’s still around, but all you ever see are the new names popping up in the newspaper, such as Gehrman Sparrow, while you focus and continue on your life.

Then, somehow, years into the future, you find out he’s not dead. His grave is literally empty. Not only that, he’s also the great detective of the capital of your literal country, the crazy adventurer feared by pirates, the tycoon who was generous but mysterious and reserved, and a wandering magician granting wishes. Also, he’s a GOD. GOD. OF. A. LITERAL. CHURCH. Then you find out that HE’S NOT EVEN YOUR BROTHER. The brother you grew up with is long dead. It’s a stranger who has been and assimilated into his body and mind since the day your brother died. Oh yeah, that friend he said was the reason he’s a good cook? That friend has been dead even before your “brother”. And you swore you knew him well. He was a history student trying to get a good job for the future. What in the Evernight Goddess’ divine kingdom happened? Oh, yeah, speaking of Evernight, your “brother” is “Her” blessed. By the way, he still hasn’t gone to the theatre with you like he promised.

I don’t know how Melissa managed to find out The Fool = Klein (maybe some angel told her in a dream or Klein directly told her idk) but I can’t even comprehend how she managed to process that information. Like imagine waking up one day and finding out a close relative of yours presumed dead is now a deity. It’s definitely not an average Tuesday afternoon thing.

@kkomaism UR SO RIGHT Reader Pathway fertilizing Magnus Institute in Fifth Epoch let’s goooo

Funny how both ORV and LOTM made me think “hm yes this could be Magnus” except one is like “noooo traumatized readers with no self preservation :(“ and the other is like “yeah this could be equally fucked up :)”

Suddenly, we tremble. We look up into the sky and see illusory, thin lines drilling out from our bodies. They extend to an infinite height, extending behind the grayish-white fog. They extend into an ancient palace and land in the hands of a tall figure shrouded in fog.

Lord of the Mysteries Chapter 1335 : “I”

BSD118 and LOTM spoilers

Atsushi : My entire found family agency is dying one by one in front of me, a person who I thought was chill suddenly got turned into a godlike figure and started destroying everything around him and possibly the entirety of our city, all of this is a scheme operated by some guy with a reality altering piece of writing, im being singled out by him, and hopefully some guy wearing a black coat shows up here in time.

Klein : *chuckles dryly* good luck. Hope that black coat guy doesn’t end up digging your grave up.

Atsushi : What?

Klein : What?

If everything hadn’t happened, I’d still be living with Benson and Melissa. I’d be the brother they lost to the best of my abilities. I’d play cards with my colleagues and work hard to protect Tingen. I’d visit you on the weekends so we can talk about history.

I’m so tired sometimes, Mr.Azik.
