Chapter 781 – Negative Effects
Klein inspects the loot from Mr. X’s corpse, finding a ruby ring, cash, and an ordinary pipe. He’s surprised by the lack of valuables, but rationalizes that Mr. X, as a Traveler, would record Beyonder powers and not carry them around to avoid negative effects. Using divination, Klein discovers the ring’s name is Flower of Blood, allowing the wearer to control their body at a deeper level and slowly recover from injuries. However, the ring’s negative effect is a random loss of rationale and thinking ability, making it unusable for Klein.
Klein is frustrated by the ring’s limitations but then remembers his marionette, Admiral of Blood Senor. Since Senor is dead and follows Klein’s instructions, he can use the ring to gain flesh magic without suffering from the negative effects. Delighted, Klein has Senor wear the ring, potentially enhancing his abilities.

Chapter 782 – Saturday Night
Klein wakes up in his pajamas, still shaken by the disturbing dreams he had the previous night. As he gets ready for the day, he interacts with Richardson, who seems nervous around him, and Butler Walter, who is struggling to conceal his exhaustion. Klein notices that Walter has dark eye circles and puffy eye bags, indicating a sleepless night, and pities him for having to resist the charms of the Demoness.
As Klein heads to the dining room, Walter informs him about his schedule for the day, including two lessons and a banquet at Professor Portland Moment’s residence. Klein is impressed by Walter’s self-restraint in the face of demonic charms and reflects on the dangers of dealing with Demonesses like Trissy and Tracy. Meanwhile, Alger Wilson stands at the bow of the Blue Avenger, navigating the treacherous waters of the Abyss Maelstrom, as he attempts to gather intel on the Feysac Empire and other nations.
As Alger uses a tin charm to establish a psychic connection with the fish in the ocean, Klein satiates his hunger with his favorite Desi pie, all while contemplating the challenges and dangers that lie ahead in the world of Beyonders.
Chapter 783 – The Trick to Communication
Klein attends a lavish banquet at Professor Portland Moment’s residence, where he politely excuses himself to respond to Mr. Hanged Man’s prayer. Above the gray fog, Klein agrees to investigate Feysac captains involved in the Konotop sea battle in 1338 in exchange for 15 pages of Roselle’s diary or equal value. Alger, navigating the treacherous waters of the Abyss Maelstrom, accepts the mission, sensing that there might be an immense secret hidden in this matter.
As Klein attempts to communicate with the Obninsk, he discovers that it strongly resists Beyonder powers that promote an affinity with sea creatures. Undeterred, Klein switches his approach, using the Sea God Scepter to cast a blinding light and then directing the aura of Lightning Storm towards the Obninsk. The monster, now obedient, reveals three dark “caves” that Alger can navigate to fulfill his mission.
With the Obninsk under control, Klein reflects on the challenges of communication, realizing that tricks are sometimes necessary. Meanwhile, Alger is left in awe of the “magnificent” scene before him, grateful to Mr. Fool for his guidance.

Meanwhile, Klein navigates the men’s circle, using his wit and charm to build connections. He joins the gentlemen in the activity room, where they indulge in cigars and conversation, and cleverly declines smoking, citing doctor’s orders.
As the conversation flows, Klein finds himself the subject of good-natured teasing, with Portland Moment and Mr. Willis poking fun at his rumored lack of marital commitment and penchant for charming women. Klein takes it in stride, laughing along and maintaining his dignified facade. Amidst the jests, he suspects that Butler Walter may have played a hand in spreading the gossip, subtly manipulating the situation to facilitate closer relationships.
As Klein navigates the banter, he struggles to cope with the overwhelming smoke in the room, resisting the urge to use his Beyonder powers to escape the discomfort. His attention remains focused on the present, where he must continue to balance his facade with the intrigue of his true identity.

As the evening wears on, Hazel takes a stroll in the garden, enjoying the crimson moonlight and cold air. She eventually rejoins her parents, Member of Parliament Macht and Ma’am Riana, who are engrossed in a conversation with Dwayne Dantès and others about his eerie experience with ghosts in the Southern Continent. Meanwhile, Klein keeps a watchful eye on Hazel, suspecting she might be involved with the mysterious events in the sewers.

Unbeknownst to her, Klein is also gazing at the sewer manhole, concerned about Trissy, the Demoness, and her potential to cause trouble. He decides to send his Wraith marionette, Senor, to investigate and check on Trissy’s condition.
As Senor explores the sewers, Klein’s thoughts are filled with worries about Trissy’s presence and the secrets she might uncover. He’s relieved to find that Trissy has recovered and left the area, but his relief is short-lived, as Senor soon spots her, looking like a “dreamy flower” in the night. The tension between Klein and Trissy is palpable, and it’s clear that their encounter is far from over.

Dorian suspects Gehrman may be seeking to exploit Lewis’s Beyonder characteristic to forge a mystical item.
As they discuss the details of the transaction, Dorian’s wariness and caution are palpable, rooted in his experiences as a member of the Abraham family. He explains that the usual price for assassinating Lewis would be at least 30,000 pounds, and Fors’s agreement includes additional conditions that benefit Gehrman. Dorian’s insights paint a complex picture of the Beyonder world, where alliances and rivalries are deadly and murky.
Dorian abruptly shifts the conversation, offering to pay Fors for her role in eliminating Lewis and presenting her with a Star Crystal ball to enhance her astromancy. With a stern expression, he insists on reimbursement, despite Fors’s protests, and hands her the Scribe potion formula, further entwining their fates in the intricate web of Beyonder politics and intrigue.

Ian hands over the bounty notices, and Emlyn pays him 300 pounds for the valuable intelligence.
As Emlyn examines the notices, he learns that Argos resides on the third story of an apartment block on 6 Limestone Street, and Galis Kevin stays in a room beside the staircase on the first floor of 19 Beluga Whale Street, both in East Borough.

Klein pours over the diary page of Emperor Roselle, trying to unravel the mysteries hidden within.

Klein is left wondering what drove the emperor to make such a choice and what he discovered that led to his agitation.
As Klein delves deeper into the diary, he finds a new page with a cryptic message, written in a handwriting different from the emperor’s. The message speaks of the existence of other transmigrators in the world, and the importance of choosing a Beyonder pathway wisely. The emperor warns of the dangers of occupied Sequence 0s and neighboring Sequence 0s and Sequence 1s, and hints at the secrets of transmigration and the truth hidden within.
Klein is intrigued by the emperor’s words, particularly the warning to “be careful of the moon.” He wonders if this is related to the Primordial Moon, and if the emperor’s curiosity about the crimson moon led to a crucial discovery. With more questions than answers, Klein is determined to uncover the truth, driven by the emperor’s cryptic message and the promise of secrets yet to be revealed.

Fors hurries to make arrangements, and Mr. Fool serves as a witness for the rental agreements.
As Fors showcases Leymano’s Travels, the group’s eyes light up, recognizing its value as a demigod-level artifact. The mystical item can record and release Beyonder powers, with three pages capable of recording demigod-level powers, albeit with low success rates. Audrey, in particular, is interested in purchasing it, but Fors clarifies that it’s only available for rent.
Alger and the others are drawn to the item’s potential, but the steep rental price proves to be a significant obstacle.

Cattleya receives a reply from the Abraham family’s direct descendant, revealing that Mr. Door is their ancestor, vanished in the War of the Four Emperors, and causes raving during full moons and Blood Moons. Fors adds that the Abrahams do not wish to make direct contact, hoping to aid the family in breaking their curse. Cattleya pieces together theories about Mr. Door’s lingering connection to the real world and his influence on Beyonders and living beings.

As Klein weighs the risks and benefits, he contemplates the potential for profit and integration into high society. He agrees to Mary’s terms, but only after conducting his own investigation into the Coim Company’s situation, using a lawyer and accounting team to scrutinize the company’s affairs. Mary agrees to bear the costs, and Klein is set to finalize the deal for the 3% shares, valued at a minimum of 12,000 pounds.
