## First Appearance

### Novel

Chapter 81 Weaver's Eye *(Mentioned)*

**Weaver** is one of the seven daemons, firstborn of the -unknown- and the Demon of Fate. It seems that both Sunny and him are connected with fate.

## Appearance

Weaver was described by Noctis as a harrowing, evil, and insidious monster. The vile Demon also known as Weaver, holds domain over fate. This daemon is mysterious and shrouded in countless layers of lies.

In the Temple of the Nightmare Spell, Weaver was depicted in the mural as a tall figure with shape and body form hidden by a dark mantle. Only their face or rather mask of a fearsome demon with ferocious fangs and a crown of three twisting horns was seen.

No one knows what the Demon of Fate looks like, but they were often depicted as a spider. Due to that, spiders were considered sacred to the followers of Weaver. It was forbidden to harm the spiders or its web.

In Sunny's dream inside the Tomb of Ariel, Weaver is tall and nebulous, had eight nimble arms, one porcelain-crafted, and a dark mantle with a black polished wood mask concealing his features.

### Mask

A black lacquered wood mask with vicious fangs and twisting horns. Its features were simultaneously fearsome and somber, bestial and regal, as though existing at the border of all things. Most of all, the striking mask radiated a sense of mystery.

## Domain

Weaver was a master of lies, so anything that is known about the Demon of Fate should be taken with a grain of salt. Weaver was the firstborn of the Unknown and their domain is fate. Just like fate, Weaver was fickle, inevitable, and terrifying. Despite not possessing dreadful battle power, unlike some other daemons, the Demon of Fate was feared the most.

## Sorcery

Main articles: Spellweave and Weaving
The Demon of Fate's sorcery was not something mortals, let alone gods, could easily learn. Only few people were proficient in it.

## Personality

Weaver is a nebulous and elusive creature, not only surrounded in mystery, but also obsessed with lies. Weaver was despised by all. Weaver had no desire to be worshiped as it was futile as fate would remain uncaring and inevitable, regardless of one's virtuous efforts.

## Volume 1: Child of Shadows

* Drop of Ichor
* Blood Weave

### Drop of Ichor

According to the runes of Drop of Ichor, the Thieving Bird, which was hated both by the gods and -unknown-, stole one of Weaver's beautiful eyes, after being enamored by it. Midflight, it saw the reflection of -unknown- forever frozen in the depths of Weaver's pupil. It went mad and screamed, dropping the eye on the mortal realm below. All that was left in its greedy beak was one drop of pure, golden ichor.

### Blood Weave

Sunny received a fourth-tier memory, Drop of Ichor, by slaying a Great Devil, Vile Thieving Bird's Spawn. It is of unknown rank and type that left him confused if the Spell did not really know or simply refused to let him know. When he tried to look at the runes themselves without the automatic translation of the Spell, the runes were beyond his ability to translate. Weirdly, studying them caused him to feel dizzy and nauseated.

When he consumed the drop of ichor, the *golden liquid* entered his soul through the pupils. After what feels like an eternity of pain. His vision was slightly different from before and somehow the world seemed deeper. Deep inside his blood, he noticed a barely visible hint of the golden shine. As if the radiant drop of golden liquid he had absorbed was still there, now a part of him, strongly diluted and fused into his own bloodstream. The shine was so faint that he had almost missed it.

Later, he found out that he inherited a part of Weaver's forbidden lineage.
## Volume 2: Demon of Change

* Mysterious Key
* Weaver's Mask

### Mysterious Key

On their journey to the edges of Forgotten Shore, following the thread of fate, Sunny risked his life to get the *mysterious key* from the body of the Lord of the Dead. It was an intricate iron key, glowing with a pale golden light, the *light of divinity*. He had no idea what the key was supposed to open. But deep down, he sensed that the small iron key would turn out to be extremely important to him.

### Weaver's Mask

After Sunny and the rest killed the Black Knight that guarded the ruined cathedral. He went alone into the hidden passage which led underground. He entered a large chamber with a large door forged from black steel, the same material the Black Knight was made of, illuminated by two burning torches. The torches seemed to be producing light, but it was pale and ghostly with no heat. The shadows cast by the ghostly flames were absolutely still as though the light of the torches had trapped and paralyzed them. He went to open the door without his shadow using the *mysterious key* he got before.

Behind the door was a small room and in it was a corpse in a dark mantle with a strange mask covering its face *chained to the floor* inside a circle. The Mask was made out of black lacquered wood and carved to resemble the face of a *ferocious demon*. Inside the black chasms of its eyes, there was nothing but utter darkness.

The corpse was imprisoned and died under the ruined cathedral, in a cell situated exactly beneath the statue of the nameless goddess. Near the prisoner were the same *runes* the Spell used to describe the mysterious *Unknown*. Only the intensity of the terrible effect they had on the mind of anyone who saw them was much stronger. The last thing the prisoner wrote before succumbing to death, was a short prayer: "*Hail Weaver, Demon of Fate, Firstborn of the -unknown-*".

The mysterious Weaver whose *forbidden lineage* he had inherited was, in fact, associated with *fate* Just like himself. Perhaps calling it a spirit or a daemon would have been more suitable — a mortal, but powerful and ominous deity. One different from gods, but sharing the same nature. Apart from the tantalizing revelation about the mysterious Weaver, he had noticed one other important thing by forcing himself to study the runes. Before, he had thought that there was a single entity that the Spell refused to call by its name and simply described as "-unknown-" — leading him to call it the Unknown. But now, he realized that there were actually two types of *forbidden runes* and two things that the Spell did not know how or did not want to mention.
## Volume 3: Prince of Nothing

* Ebony Tower
* Bone Weave
* Slave's Inheritance

* Harrowing Rot
* Golden Needle
* Alabaster Phalanx

### Harrowing Rot

On the second level of the great pagoda, was a massive silver brazier, at the center of it was a severed arm that was the source of the harrowing infection, like a vile kind of rot. The cut that separated the arm at the shoulder seemed to be delivered by a steady and unfaltering blade. But Sunny was more affected by something else. In his mind's eye, the vile arm was radiating a blindingly bright, overwhelming, beautiful golden radiance. It was awash in the light of divinity. In front of him, stricken by the harrowing rot, was a severed arm of a deity. It was also the reason why fate had brought him to this lost and forgotten corner of the abyss.

### Golden Needle

On the third-level chamber of the Obsidian Tower, was a table where numerous parts scavenged from the disassembled porcelain arms, several skeins of beautiful diamond string, and a long, narrow needle. It was the needle that gave off a faint, weak radiance. Sunny looked at the needle, then glanced at the floating porcelain arms, noting for the first time that each was missing a part or two.

After gathering the clues and connecting the pieces of information, he felt understood something about what transpired in the Obsidian Tower. Sometime after the Prince of the Underworld had left the hidden island, an uninvited guest had snuck into the black pagoda like a thief, somehow getting past the closed gates without ever opening them or disturbing the seal that had been preserving this place from being ravaged by time.

The thief was a divine creature themselves and also horribly wounded. One of their arms had been torn open and infected by the spreading rot that no one, not even a deity, could expel. That was why the thief had severed their infected arm at the shoulder and tossed it into the divine flame that had been burning in the silver brazier on the second level and then went down to the basement to collect limbs from the broken porcelain dolls. It was that deity that had circled the pile of them and left the footprints in the dust for Sunny to notice. In the end, the thief ascended to the third floor and fashioned a new arm for themselves from the parts of the Prince's discarded mannequins and then sewn it onto their body with the diamond strings threaded through a sharp needle.

### Alabaster Phalanx

After the charred flesh of the severed arm finally disappeared, only the alabaster phalanx was left. The bone felt cold and smooth to the touch still with marrow inside, wet and infused with bright golden radiance. The alabaster bone had nothing to do with the Spell, it was an original. Unsure about how to proceed, a certain scene of Saint bit into the black gem of the Black Knight suddenly appeared in his mind. Sunny followed a strange instinct and swallowed the *phalanx*.

He felt a harrowing pain permeate his entire being. But this time the pain was concentrated in his spine, bones, and marrow. His fingers in particular felt as though there was molten, incandescent, liquid metal flowing through them. With *Blood Weave* active the pain slowly lessened but the process of transformation continued. After it was finally over, Sunny's body felt more solid, strong, firm, and resilient. His Attribute *Spark of Divinity* evolved into *Ember of Divinity* and had a new one called *Bone Weave*.

He later found out that the phalanx he swallowed was from a divine being and inherited another part of *Weaver's forbidden lineage*.

### Bone Weave

At some point in time, the daemons — children of the mysterious -unknown-, strangely described as having created themselves, had waged war against the gods. Except for Weaver, who decided to not join either side in the conflict. Weaver's reluctance to participate in the war had landed them in big trouble with both the gods and the other daemons. One side would have seen the Demon of Fate as one of the enemies simply by virtue of them being a daemon, while the other would have seen them as a traitor for that same reason.

This could potentially explain how Weaver ended up being ghastly wounded, and why they had to sneak into the Ebony Tower in secret. In the end, it seemed as though Weaver alone had turned out to be more terrible than both the six daemons and the six gods combined.

### Slave's Inheritance

As the lineage of Shadow God flowed through Sunny's veins, Blood Weave suddenly surged. But its behavior was not at all normal or caused by Sunny himself. It was acting of its own volition and felt full of *ominous*, *dark intent* and *hunger*. He could feel the cold energy being hungrily and ruthlessly devoured by the Blood Weave like it had been starving for thousands of years. Inside him, two forces were fighting for control over his very being. One was the lineage of Shadow God, and the other was Blood Weave. Despite the fact that one was complete and came from an actual divinity, while the other was fragmented and incomplete, the forbidden inheritance of Weaver was winning. It was like a savage beast that sunk its teeth into the soft flesh of its prey and refused to let go.
## Volume 6: All the Devils Are Here

### Mirror of Truth

The appearance of Weaver in the description of the Mirror of Truth is intriguing. His words can be taken as a grain of salt, as Weaver was called the master of lies. However, the Demon of Fate had known about the tomb's existence and had visited it on purpose, causing him to feel a great deal.

As a masterful liar, Weaver knew the value of truth just as well as the Demon of Dread and felt contempt for those who squandered it.

## Volume 7: The Tomb of Ariel

* Children of Weaver
* Eternal Abyss

### Children of Weaver

When the gods and the daemons started their cursed war, Weaver was the only one who refused to participate and when the flames of war started, Weaver was the only one who offered them all a path to salvation.

The Nightmare Spell was created by Weaver to save them from the doom brought by Demons.

The salvation promised to them was the Children of Weaver. The elders who took on the mission of caring for the Nightmare Spell did not genuinely hope to save themselves. Instead, they aimed to save the future, which was still ahead and could be saved.

The Dream Realm was already a dead world, with only Nightmare Creatures inhabiting it. The Spell had even infected Earth with the same plague that had destroyed it, forcing more humans to join it.

### Eternal Abyss

According to the legends, after the gods sealed the primordial void, Weaver was the only one of those who had entered the eternal abyss and managed to return alive.

The gods had sealed the eternal void, from which they were born. The unknown were creatures of that void, while the Unknown was a specific being that had somehow given life to the seven daemons. The reflection of either was forever frozen in the depths of Weaver's eyes.
