Chapter 1066 – Familiar Name
As Audrey guides the dream, Mobet’s figure vanishes, and the scenery shifts to a palace made of coral, where the Elf King Soniathrym and Queen of Calamity Cohinem sit on thrones, surrounded by murals of storms and terrifying lightning. The Elf King’s roar shakes the palace, as he accusatorily mentions the name Aurmir, the Giant King, sparking Klein’s recollection of the ancient gods’ alliance and eventual collapse.
Queen Cohinem remains unfazed, responding with a cold expression, criticizing the Elf King’s lack of understanding, and revealing that Lilith, the Sanguine Ancestor, had perished early on. The conversation reveals the intricate web of alliances and betrayals among the ancient gods, and the Queen’s contentment with the current state of affairs, where the deities no longer trust each other.

Chapter 1067 – The Elven Version of History
Klein’s mind is reeling as he processes the information about the subsidiary gods, including the Dragon of Wisdom, God of the Dead, and God of Dawn, and wonders if they managed to survive the authority retrieval operation at the end of the Second Epoch. Meanwhile, Audrey, acting as different female elves, engages in conversations with Siatas, delving into the history of the elves, including the unknown beginning years, the “Sprouting Era,” and the “Early Era of Fire” when ancient gods fought each other.
As Siatas shares her experiences and knowledge, Klein learns about the existence of the East Continent, a place believed to be the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and the elves’ traditions, including their language, customs, and idolization of the strong. Audrey’s influence causes Siatas’s dream to shift, reflecting the elf’s subconscious memories and curiosity about the Western Continent, which Queen of Calamity Cohinem intriguingly suggests may or may not exist.
Klein’s analysis continues as Siatas’s dream reveals more about the coral palace, Cohinem’s enigmatic responses, and the elf’s gradual emotional descent into melancholy, influencing Audrey and the others to ponder the mysteries of the ancient gods and the true nature of the Western Continent.
Chapter 1068 – Illogical Details
Klein and Audrey continue to explore the dream of Groselle, a giant, where they uncover more about the giant’s traditions and customs. Audrey’s guidance reveals the Waning Forest, Barren Tunnel, and the Giant King’s Court, but Groselle’s limited knowledge provides only a glimpse into the world of the giants. Klein and Audrey suspect that the Giant King Aurmir might be the traitor, rather than Soniathrym, and that the true secrets lie beyond the Giant King’s Court.
As they delve deeper, Audrey raises concerns about the illogical rule that only the ancient god can enter the Waning Forest, where the Giant King’s parents are buried. Klein and Audrey ponder the possibility that what’s buried inside might not be the Giant King’s parents, but something else entirely. The trio begins to unravel the mysteries of the giants, hinting at a deeper conspiracy and hidden secrets waiting to be uncovered.
The chapter concludes with more questions than answers, leaving Klein and Audrey to ponder the implications of their discoveries. The true nature of the Western Continent, the secrets of the ancient gods, and the mysteries of the giants continue to unfold, drawing the reader deeper into the world of TOS.
Chapter 1069 – “Under the Sea’
In the sea of collective subconscious, Klein, Audrey, and Leonard face the eerie leg-gnawing giant, a manifestation of intense emotions. The giant’s existence is a result of a living creature’s strong emotions, which settle and form a mark, affecting others of the same species. As they navigate this illusory realm, they must control their emotions to avoid contamination, lest they succumb to madness or mental breakdown.
Klein uses “Illusion Creation” to calm Leonard and Audrey, protecting them from the giant’s unsettling aura. Meanwhile, Leonard attempts to summon a Terror Banshee, only to remember he’s in Astral Projection form and spirit-free. He resorts to using his Soul Assurer powers to soothe the giant shadow. Audrey then uses Placate to weaken the contamination, and Klein deploys the Unshadowed Crucifix to cleanse the spiritual imprint, ultimately dispelling the giant phantom.
As the light fades, Audrey and Leonard are left reeling, still shaken by the experience. They come to a deeper understanding of the phrase “Do not look directly at God!” and reflect on the immense power of demigods and deities. The trio’s banter and shared unease hint at the secrets lurking beneath the surface, drawing readers further into the mysteries of the giants and the world of TOS.
Chapter 1070 – Maybe It’s Real
As the trio navigates the sea of collective subconscious, they stumble upon a breathtaking floating city that resonates with Audrey’s knowledge of Groselle’s Travels. The city, eerily similar to Liveseyd, the City of Miracles, leaves Klein pondering its authenticity. He recalls his previous divination and Arrodes’ answer, which hinted that Groselle’s Travels emerged after Liveseyd’s disappearance. Klein’s mind races as he pieces together the puzzle, suspecting the involvement of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, a subsidiary of the Dragon of Imagination Ankewelt.
As Klein delves deeper, he considers the possibility that Liveseyd was “imagined” again after its initial disappearance, creating a duplicate city. This raises more questions, such as why the Dragon of Wisdom didn’t enter the book itself and what motives it might have had for leaving the city behind. Leonard breaks the silence, marveling at the city’s grandeur, while Audrey seeks reassurance about the city’s identity.
Klein’s deductions and theories swirl around the enigmatic city, hinting at a deeper connection to the ancient gods and the mysterious book world. The trio’s awe and curiosity drive them forward, as they venture further into the unknown, surrounded by secrets and ancient powers.
Chapter 1071 – Hall of Truth
As they venture deeper into the floating city, the trio approaches a grand palace, its towering stone columns evoking a sense of ancient power. Klein cautions his companions to stay close, ready to extract them from the book world at a moment’s notice. As they enter the palace, they’re met with a sprawling hall, its decor adorned with vibrant murals and an imposing central pillar that seems to hold the weight of time.
The air is charged with an otherworldly energy when a grayish-white figure materializes on the pillar, its scaled form radiating an epic presence. It’s the Dragon of Imagination, Ankewelt. Leonard, ever the romantic, breaks into a poetic recitation, only to realize in shock that the words are echoing back to him. Klein and Audrey soon discover that the hall has the ability to manifest their thoughts and emotions, forcing them to rein in their minds to avoid unintended consequences.
As they navigate this surreal environment, the trio struggles to maintain control over their own thoughts, with their inner monologues spilling out into the open. The hall’s unwavering ability to reflect their minds creates a comical, if not unsettling, atmosphere, leaving them to wonder what other secrets this mystical place holds.
Chapter 1072 – The Call From Behind the Door
As the trio delves deeper into the hall, they struggle to contain their thoughts, which are manifesting into reality. Klein ponders the connection between the murals and the physical world, wondering how the City of Miracles guarantees the manifestation of the murals’ contents. He hypothesizes that the Dragon of Imagination’s divine power might be the key, but its demise raises questions about the feasibility of creating new, reality-altering murals.
Meanwhile, Leonard is stunned by the implications of the “Author” potion, which seems to defy the boundaries between reality and fantasy. Audrey, familiar with the High-Sequence potions of the Spectator pathway, is impressed by Klein’s analytical mind. However, her own thoughts threaten to spill out, and she must employ herPsychiatrist skills to regain control.
As the group navigates the surreal environment, their inner monologues create a comedic atmosphere, revealing the cracks in their seemingly composed exteriors. Klein’s instincts take over, and he clashes with Leonard, while Audrey’s thoughts wander to her family’s hounds and horses. Amidst the chaos, they begin to explore the palace further, seeking answers about the murals and the City of Miracles’ secrets.
Chapter 1073 – Three Possibilities
As Klein, Leonard, and Audrey re-emerge from the gray fog, they’re still reeling from the psychological aftermath of their experience in the Hall of Truth. Their inner monologues continue to manifest, forcing them to confront their vulnerabilities and insecurities. Klein’s facade crumbles as he struggles to maintain his composure, while Audrey performs a professional psychoanalysis on herself, expressing gratitude to Mr. Fool.
The trio shares their experiences, revealing that they all felt an entity awakening within them, only to dissipate once they left the Hall of Truth. They speculate about the sealed item behind the bronze door, with Klein proposing three possibilities: a powerful creature from the Second Epoch, a key component in the Dragon of Imagination’s ploy, or an unpredictable element. Audrey and Leonard engage in a serious discussion, considering the implications of the Dragon of Wisdom’s true intentions and Adam’s pursuit of divinity.
As they debate, Klein’s analytical mind remains sharp, but his shame and embarrassment linger, threatening to undo his composure. Meanwhile, Audrey’s sharp insight and Leonard’s curiosity drive their investigation, pushing them closer to unraveling the secrets of the City of Miracles and the mysterious book that binds their fates together.
Chapter 1074 – The Answer to Questions
Klein lingers in the gray fog, using Hvin Rambis’s Manipulator Beyonder characteristic to explore the mysterious space above the fog. He approaches the staircase of light, hoping to uncover secrets about the people trapped in the transparent cocoons. With the Beyonder characteristic, he discovers that the individuals are still alive, but in a state of slumber, their consciousness separated from the outside world.
Meanwhile, Audrey awakens in her villa, reflecting on her experiences in the Hall of Truth. She prays to Mr. Fool, vowing to secrecy, and reminisces about the ancient history she encountered. She recalls Mr. Star’s carefree nature and Mr. World’s inward mutterings, concluding that even the most unpredictable individuals show caution and rationality in the mysterious world.
Leonard returns to his body, deciding to approach Pallez Zoroast about his night’s events. He’s met with Pallez’s knowing laughter, hinting that the old man can guess what transpired.

Chapter 1075 – No Response
Klein’s encounter with the mysterious full-body mirror, Arrodes, reveals a chilling connection between the mirror’s origin and the underground sealed by the bronze door inside the ancient abandoned castle. Arrodes’s words, “I came from underground,” spark a wave of unease in Klein, who struggles to maintain his composure. As the conversation unfolds, Klein learns that Arrodes has a similar feeling towards the underground, associating it with support and dominance, eerily reminiscent of the gray fog.
Klein’s thoughts spiral out of control as he considers the implications of Arrodes’s words, recalling a Chinese joke that seems to mock his own situation. He begins to suspect a deeper connection between the underground, the gray fog, and the transmigrators, with the mysterious space’s creator possibly being related to the underground. As Klein composes himself, he inquires about the Churches’ and secret organizations’ knowledge of the underground objects that require sealing, only to discover that it’s shrouded in mystery and misconceptions.
Arrodes’s subsequent suggestion to avoid investigating anything related to the sealed underground objects resonates with Klein’s own instincts, and their conversation eventually leads to the revelation that Groselle’s Travels obtained information from the spirit world, courtesy of the Dragon of Wisdom, Herabergen. This new information raises more questions than answers, leaving Klein with an unsettling feeling that he’s only scratched the surface of a much larger, darker mystery.

Dorian Gray Abraham, a Sequence 7 Astrologer, meets with his student, Fors Wall, a newly advanced Scribe, at the Hat Trick Inn. He’s impressed by her rapid progress, describing it as a poignant reminder of his own stagnation. Dorian shares his hopes for Fors’s future, intending for her to become a Sequence 4 Secrets Sorcerer, and requests that she pray to a hidden existence when she achieves demigod status. He reveals that this answer is crucial to understanding the ancient curse afflicting his family’s bloodline, which has led to countless deaths.
As their conversation unfolds, Fors senses the weight of her teacher’s thousand-year-old family tragedy and feels compelled to help. Dorian changes the subject, inquiring about Fors’s sudden relocation, which she attributes to being targeted by official Beyonders. In response, Dorian summons the void creature, Malmouth, to retrieve essential items for Fors’s next advancement: a Traveler’s Beyonder characteristic, a potion formula, and supplementary ingredients.
With these new tools, Fors is poised to further her Sequence progress, drawing closer to uncovering the mysteries of the underground, the gray fog, and the transmigrators. As Dorian and Fors part ways, the stakes are raised, and the stakes of their journey become clearer – the pursuit of power, the burden of family legacy, and the darkness lurking in the shadows.
Chapter 1077 – Four Choices
Derrick Berg ponders which Saint-level Sealed Artifact to choose, realizing the question isn’t about his personal preference, but which artifact can be used to exchange for the Creator’s cross from Mr. Fool. Colin Iliad presents four options, each with its unique abilities and drawbacks. The first, Sword of Silverdawn, offers defensive capabilities, but has strict usage requirements and a talkative head engraving that can drive the wielder to madness.
The second, Twilight Mask, grants immense power, but is extremely dangerous, causing people around it to die suddenly, and the wearer to risk losing their mind. The third, Life’s Cane, can control and heal, but also mutates living creatures and its wielder, filling the surroundings with a vibrant life force. The fourth, Fallen Flute, induces illusions, makes the wielder sensitive to danger, but also degenerates their humanity and emotions.
Colin gives Derrick three days to consider his decision, allowing him to weigh the risks and benefits of each Sealed Artifact before they set off for the Afternoon Town camp. Derrick’s ultimate choice will determine his next step in his pursuit of power and his journey with Mr. Fool.

Fors considers seeking The World Gehrman Sparrow’s help, impressed by his demigod status and abilities.
Meanwhile, The Sun Derrick, The Hanged Man Alger, and The World Gehrman Sparrow gather above the gray fog, joined by Mr. Fool.

Chapter 1079 – 1079 The Hardworking Gardeners
Above the gray fog, Klein sits at Mr. Fool’s seat, beckoning the Unshadowed Crucifix, a bronze cross tied to the Judge button, which he intends to trade with Derrick. Klein reflects on the agreement between Judgment Xio and The World, and how this transaction will benefit Little Sun in the future. Once Little Sun becomes a demigod, they can transform the Unshadowed Crucifix into a special characteristic, and Klein will be able to shatter Sealed Artifacts using the power of the mysterious space above the gray fog.
Meanwhile, Derrick finishes setting up a ritual in the City of Silver, exchanging the Life’s Cane for the Unshadowed Crucifix. After the ritual, he presents the cross to Colin Iliad, the City of Silver Chief, who examines it and reveals its true form after letting his blood stain the spikes. Colin declares the Unshadowed Crucifix a sign of dawn and decides to present it to the Elders, while also acknowledging his responsibility to explain the loss of Life’s Cane and face punishment.

Chapter 1080 – The Line of Thinking for Acting
Klein reflects on the effects of Life’s Cane, realizing it not only affects humans but also has a subtle influence on their reproductive abilities. As he strolls through the streets with Enuni, he notices the servants’ increased energy and wonders if Butler Walter’s return home will result in another child. Klein decides to limit Life’s Cane’s influence, only bringing it into the real world for short periods.
As they walk, the chambermaids notice a wheat head embedded in Enuni’s hair, which he quickly removes. The lawyers and neighbors they pass by can’t help but notice subtle changes in Enuni’s features, such as a higher nose bridge. Meanwhile, a lawyer’s imagination runs wild as he sees wild dogs mating on the street.
Back in the activity room, Klein sends Life’s Cane above the gray fog and contemplates his experiences as a Bizarro Sorcerer. He realizes his role is akin to a horror film director, tasked with creating terrifying scenes to scare people. Klein forms a plan to use his abilities to create horror stories, using pirates as targets and allowing some to escape to spread the nightmares they’ve experienced, potentially creating myths at sea.
