Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

The Church of the Night is conducting a full-scale manhunt for Ince Zangwill, but due to his possession of a special sealing artifact, they are unable to locate him and can only lay a tight net in major cities such as Backlund.

Heretical organizations such as the Aurora Society and the Rose School also began to stir, investigating the entire incident.

Klein, through his accurate divination, repeatedly evaded covert investigations and dangers, never revealing his whereabouts.

To obtain sufficient resources for promotion, he cautiously probed and, through clandestine channels, came into contact with a secret offline gathering spontaneously organized by extraordinary individuals.

After his promotion, his strength increased significantly. He not only gained greater self-defense capabilities but also had more confidence to establish himself in the extraordinary world.

[But he did not let his guard down in the slightest, for danger lurks everywhere in this world.]

He walks the world as Sherlock Moriarty, and controls the Tarot Club as the Fool.

The rudiments of a Tarot Club are quietly taking shape.

The power of the Source Castle allowed him to connect with extraordinary individuals from different regions and through different means, transcending space and time.

[He remains behind the scenes under the mysterious identity of "The Fool," revealing no information about himself, and slowly gathers his own power by issuing commissions and exchanging intelligence and resources.]

Because of the mysterious mist, the members were filled with awe for this enigmatic "Fool." No one knew his true identity; they only believed that he was some ancient being who had awakened from his slumber.

While gathering materials, Klein gradually uncovered the undercurrents of power among the various factions in Backlund.

At the same time, he didn't forget that damned Ince.

At each Tarot gathering, he discreetly gathered information about the other person's whereabouts, piecing together the scattered pieces of information.

[The high-sequence Ince is very strong; at this time, Klein is far inferior to him, and a slight mistake could lead to utter destruction.] Only by enduring hardship can one wait for the opportunity for revenge.

Meanwhile, although the Church of the Night had laid a tight net, it was constantly hampered by the power of the sealed artifact, and its search operations repeatedly failed.

Using the power of the sealed artifact, Ince secretly wreaked havoc in Backlund, causing numerous bizarre and tragic incidents.

[Undercurrents are swirling in the extraordinary world, with spies from the Aurora Society and the Rose School spread throughout Backlund.]

Chaos persists

Klein uses his divination skills to evade these dangerous prying eyes time and time again. His identity as a private detective also helps him blend perfectly into the world. He handles trivial cases by day and hones his extraordinary abilities and hosts tarot gatherings by night.

As their strength steadily increased, the Tarot Club gradually expanded, with members showcasing their talents and providing Klein with increasing assistance.

Around this time, a deadly yellow fog suddenly descended upon Backlund.

The eastern and dock areas were hit hardest, with tens of thousands of civilians dying from inhaling the toxic fumes, followed by a plague.

This massive smog was created by the Aurora Society and the Witch Cult, using countless lives as sacrifices in an attempt to summon the true creator.

Klein is investigating clues in an attempt to stop the ritual.

He joined forces with powerful members of the Church of the Night, overcame obstacles, and successfully destroyed the sacrificial core.

During this period, another uncontrolled Extraordinary being of Sequence 4 level appeared, but was repelled by Mr. Azik.

Who is Azik?

Azik Eggers, Klein's history professor at the University of Tingen, is described as gentle, calm, and mysterious.

This review is actually quite good.

[Because his true identity is the Son of Death, the Death Archon... a very important figure with many titles.]

This guy had a good relationship with Klein; he was like a powerful figure in the early stages of the game, protecting him many times.

[Afterwards, the Church of Storms used a hurricane to disperse the poisonous fog, and the disaster temporarily subsided, but the shadows of the royal family and the Twilight Hermits behind the scenes still lingered.]

After this battle, Klein fully digested the potion, advanced once again, and his strength reached a new level.

Chapter 100: The promotion was too fast.

Backlund has not truly returned to calm after the heavy smog.

This severe smog has caused numerous deaths and widespread damage.

The reconstruction of the eastern district has begun slowly, leaving behind a group of people in grief.

[Klein is doing alright, continuing to infiltrate the city as Sherlock Moriarty.]

But his identity as a detective was ultimately just a transition, and Backlund's resources couldn't support him any longer.

He needs greater power, a broader stage, and a path to advance to Sequence 5.

During a chance commission, he encountered a person—or rather, a "thing".

【"Arrodes"】

A magic mirror that can answer questions, but always likes to make people "pay a price".

Arrodes showed him a path: the sea.

There, he would find the materials he needed for his promotion.

Only on the high seas could he avoid the eyes and ears of various factions in Backlund.

There's no way around it; something like this just happened in Backlund, and the whole world's attention is focused on it. To put it simply, this place is like the center of a stage under a spotlight.

Thus, Klein assumed his new identity.

Gehrman Sparrow is portrayed as a mad adventurer, bounty hunter, ruthless and merciless.

He boarded a steamship, left Backlund, and sailed towards the Sunia Sea, beginning his own sea voyage.

Life at sea is completely different from life on land.

Here, there are no hypocritical formalities from nobles, no tight surveillance from the church; only storms, giant waves, pirates, and the mysteries hidden in the deep sea.

Klein, as Gehrman Sparrow, quickly made a name for himself in this sea area.

Hunt down pirates, seize extraordinary materials, explore shipwrecks, and gradually advance towards Sequence 5.

"Sequence Five? Didn't he only recently come into contact with the extraordinary?"

The specific advancement sequence had not been mentioned before on the screen, but now Klein's specific strength was suddenly mentioned, which surprised many people, especially the extraordinary individuals.

How long has it been since we first came into contact with the extraordinary world?

How did he go from an ordinary person who knew nothing to a top-tier mid-level being, approaching the strength of a demigod/saint?

Is this reasonable?

In this era, how many ordinary people spend their entire lives without even touching the threshold of the extraordinary world;

Even if one is lucky enough to reach Sequence 9, very few can steadily advance to Sequence 7 or Sequence 6.

Especially in situations where information is scarce and some experts engage in monopolistic practices.

Potion recipes, main ingredients, auxiliary ingredients, role-playing techniques, risk of losing control, enemy surveillance...

Any one of these levels can stump countless people.

Too many extraordinary individuals are trapped in the low sequence for their entire lives; being able to climb to the middle sequence already qualifies them as powerful figures.

But Klein Moretti seemed to be walking on a smooth highway, heading straight for Sequence 5 without any obstacles.

Is this the power of a time traveler?

Or rather, no wonder he's from the same place as that guy?

Or perhaps... his rapid promotion was largely due to Roselle's notes...

During one of his operations, he encountered "Iceberg Admiral" Edwina Edwards—one of the five great pirate admirals, a highly knowledgeable female pirate.

The two briefly joined forces in a certain ruin, each getting what they wanted.

Edwina is intrigued by this suddenly rising "mad adventurer," but Klein keeps his distance, unwilling to reveal too much, wanting to be a Sigma man.

What truly brought him into the public eye was his challenge to the "Bounty Hunters" Association.

He single-handedly hunted down several pirates with high bounties, raising the bounty from a few hundred pounds to tens of thousands of pounds.

[The name Gehrman Sparrow began to be associated with those legendary great pirates.]

However, Klein didn't care about reputation; it was all meaningless anyway.

He only cares about one thing—a promotion.

Deep in the Sunia Sea lies a mysterious island, said to be inhabited by mermaids.

Based on the records in Russell's diary and his own divination, Klein finally found the place.

Bathed in moonlight, the mermaid rose to the surface and sang an ancient song.

The song pierced his soul, allowing Klein to see a microcosm of his life in a daze—from Tingen to Backlund, from Sherlock to Gehrman, from a clueless transmigrator to the extraordinary one he is today.

[While the song was playing, he took the potion.]

[Promotion, Sequence 5 - Master of Puppets]

[They can manipulate invisible, thread-like forces to turn living people into their own puppets, completely controlling their actions.]

This is the mid-level peak of the Diviner's Path, and also the most crucial step on his path of revenge.

After advancing to the level of Master Puppet, Klein's strength experienced a qualitative leap.

He no longer needs to do everything himself; he can complete dangerous missions through the puppet.

But he also clearly realized that sequence 5 was not the end.

Ince Zangwill is a Sequence 4 demigod and also possesses the 0-08 Alshogod Pen.

There is a world of difference between them.

Unless he also becomes a demigod, he has no chance of winning against Ince head-on.

Will he back down?

Of course not.

[All transmigrators consider themselves extraordinary... well, not quite. Perhaps it's more accurate to say they're... rather special?]

He continued to hone his skills at sea, while maintaining contact with members of the Tarot Club, such as the Hanged Man and Justice, to exchange information and acquire resources.

The scale of Tarot clubs also expanded rapidly during this period.

Alger Wilson, the "Hanged Man," a high-ranking deacon of the Church of Storms, provided Klein with a wealth of intelligence at sea.
