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

In Klein's slumbering dream, two wills are silently clashing.

[On one side is the Heavenly Venerable Fusheng Xuanhuang—a remnant of the will of the past, the former master of the Source Castle.]

[On the other side is Klein Moretti—a time traveler from Earth, a former college student, a guardian who has lost too much but has never truly given up.]

This battle was devoid of the clash of swords and the roar of divine magic.

There is only a pull at the level of consciousness, an erosion at the level of spirituality, and a confrontation at the level of will.

The Celestial Venerable attempted to assimilate him, making him his vessel.

Klein, on the other hand, held firm, using everything he had to build a defensive line.

Time slipped away silently as Klein slept.

One year, two years, three years...

The Tarot Club has never disbanded.

Every Monday at 3 PM, the palace above the gray fog will still be illuminated with a deep red light.

[But that light was no longer lit by the "Fool" himself.]

Instead, it was led by "Justice" Audrey Hall, with each member taking turns lighting the flasks.

This is their promise to Mr. Fool—to guard his anchor point during his slumber.

Audrey Hall, once a noblewoman, has now grown into a Sequence 4 "Dream Weaver".

She is no longer just that little girl sitting on the terrace of Hall Estate, full of curiosity about the extraordinary world.

She learned to take responsibility, to walk in the dark, and to use the insight of an "audience" to uncover the conspiracies hidden beneath the surface.

She appears punctually above the gray fog every week, protecting Mr. Fool's faith in her own way.

Her dog, Susie, has also become a Sequence 5 "Dream Walker," staying by her side.

"?"

Wait, what is that?

Her dog is already Sequence 5?

Those of lower rank who were extraordinary felt their hearts stop when they saw the content displayed on the sky.

They've lived all these years, yet in the end, they're not even as high a rank as a dog.

Is this the benefit of clinging to someone powerful?

Cai Cai, please, please, give me a hug!

Alger Wilson, the "Hanged Man," continues to walk his own path.

His ambition never changed—he wanted a higher position, greater power, and greater authority.

But his loyalty to Mr. Fool never wavered.

He knew that without Mr. Fool, he might have remained a high-ranking deacon in the Church of Storms for his entire life, forever stuck at the threshold of Sequence 5.

It was Mr. Fool who gave him the opportunity for promotion and a higher stage.

Therefore, he will protect Mr. Fool's faith until the day he awakens.

【"The Sun" Derrick Berg, an elder of the Silver City, a Sequence 4 "The One Without Darkness"】

He grew from a boy sealed away in the land forsaken by the gods, yearning for the light, into one of the most respected leaders in Silver City.

He led the people of Silver City, carving out light from the darkness.

He never forgot that it was Mr. Fool who gave him hope.

Therefore, every week he would light a candle in the cathedral of Silver City and pray for Mr. Fool.

That candle never went out.

Fors Wall, the "Magician," a Sequence 4 "Arcanist"

She was once a writer who yearned for freedom, a girl who just wanted to escape the constraints of reality.

But the Tarot would change her destiny; Mr. Fool gave her strength and responsibility.

She is no longer the kind of person who wants to run away when faced with danger.

She learned to face challenges and take responsibility.

She bought a house in Backlund, where she quietly wrote, practiced her spirituality, and secretly protected the network of followers left behind by Mr. Fool.

【"The Hermit" Cattleya, leader of the Elemental Dawn, Sequence 3 "Master of Prophecy"】

She was once a member of the Morse Order, a mysterious scholar who lived a secluded life for many years.

Now, she leads the Elements Dawn, secretly fighting against the conspiracies of various clandestine organizations.

She knew that the end of the world was approaching, and the threat of the Outer Gods had never disappeared.

Mr. Fool is one of the important forces in this world's fight against the apocalypse.

Therefore, she must protect this land during his slumber.

[Waiting for him to awaken, waiting for the end of the world to come, waiting for that final battle]

Emlyn White, the "Witch King" of Sequence 4.

This once arrogant and prejudiced pure-blooded vampire has now become one of the most powerful figures in the vampire family.

He remained arrogant, stubborn, and unwilling to admit that he actually cared about humanity.

But those in the Tarot community know that this guy has never let you down in crucial moments.

He said, "I don't care when Mr. Fool wakes up," but in reality, he never missed a single tarot reading each week.

Leonard Mitchell, the "Star," the "Night Watchman" of Sequence 4.

He was Klein's colleague among the Night Watchers, and one of the few friends Klein could truly trust.

After Old Neil's death, Klein was the person he trusted most.

He occasionally sings a song off-key, just like when Klein was still around.

Besides the Tarot Club, there are others waiting for him.

Azik Eggers, Son of Death, Sequence 2 "Death Archon"

With Klein's help, he regained his lost memories and rediscovered his past.

Now, he sits awake in some corner of this land, awaiting the young man's awakening.

He believed that Klein would wake up.

Because that young man has never let him down.

Will Unsettin, Sequence 1 "Serpent of Fate"

He was waiting for Klein to wake up so he could continue buying him ice cream.

Bernadette Gustave, the "Mysterious Queen," daughter of Emperor Rosell the Great

[In the past, because Klein was digging into Roselle's secrets, he had been wary and distant of the Fool, only wanting to learn the truth about his father from him.]

Later, she heard some things from her somewhat lost father.

Now she understood that Klein was not an enemy, but someone who shared Rosell's plight.

They are all pitiful people trapped in this era.

She is also waiting, waiting for the day Klein awakens.

She also had many questions she wanted to ask.

"?"

The audience in this world is once again filled with questions.

A somewhat lost father?

The Emperor... is he still alive?

[In addition, there are Benson and Melissa]

Klein's brother and sister

They didn't know the specifics of Klein's situation.

All they knew was that their younger brother was "dead."

Even Klein dared not approach them casually.

He carries too much karma, and faces too many powerful enemies. If he is not careful, he and those around him will suffer.

On the other side

During this long slumber, Klein had one dream after another.

He dreamt of Tingen, of the warm times he spent as his original self, of Captain Dunn's smile, of Old Neil's Potions class, of every member of the Night Watch.

He dreamt of Backlund, where he ran a detective agency under the name Sherlock Moriarty, taking on mundane cases and battling cultists in dark alleys.

[He dreamt of the sea again, embarking on a wild adventure as Gehrman Sparrow, the mermaid's song, and that ascension ceremony.]

[Afterwards, he also dreamed of the Forsaken Land.]

The darkness of Silver City, the curse of Moon City, and those who held fast to hope even in despair.

These things are less like dreams and more like memories?

In short, his consciousness sank in.

Every dream is an anchor, firmly pinning him to the identity of "Klein Moretti".

[In this way, he can prevent the Celestial Venerable's will from devouring him and avoid being assimilated by divinity.]

But how could the Celestial Venerable's will possibly cease its erosion of him?

He whispered in Klein's dream, trying to convince him that becoming the Lord of Mysteries was his destined end.

[He took root in Klein's spirituality, trying to gradually squeeze Klein's consciousness out of his body, and then usurp his place.]

After Klein repeatedly refused, He directly showed Klein a "perfect" future.
