Understanding of an attribute was a great reward, especially when it came to Aether.

When Aether fuses with the Desert Eagle, Aether’s understanding of an attribute would also apply to the Desert Eagle. That was also why my bullets let out white flashes.

Of course, attribute bullets created with SP were much more powerful than ordinary bullets used with Aether’s understanding of an attribute.

Stats

Stats are numerical values to indicate one's prowess in various categories. There are two types of stats: Variable and invariable.

## Variable

Stats that can be changed through practice, items, and other. More talented individuals will gain stats faster.

The value of variable stats seems to increase exponentially, but so does the effort required to increase them.

**Strength** - One's pure physical power output. Essentially, the more you have, the more of an impact your weapons, fists, and kicks will deliver.

**Stamina** - How much work one is able to go through before getting tired. Essentially, the more you have, the longer you can fight and run.

**Speed** - The physical movement speed. Essentially, the more you have, the faster you can run and dodge.

**Perception** - The speed and distance one's senses, like hearing or sight. Essentially, the more you have, the further you can see and the easier you can keep up with high speed battles.

**Vitality** - The endurance of the physical body. Essentially, the more you have, the harder it is to kill you.

**Magic power** - The stat required to use magic. The uses of magic can vary from the usage of gifts, the casting of spells, summoning, and so on.

## Invariable

Stats that you're born with, and generally stay that way. It can not be improved through practice, but in rare cases can be slightly improved by items or other methods.

**Intelligence** - General ability to think and learn.

**Perseverance** - Mental fortitude. Works against depression and increases motivation.

**Luck** - One's natural ability to attract fortune. The more something is reliant on luck, the more useful this stat is, like with gambling.

**Charm** - The general attractiveness of one's physical appearance.
Alex Lancaster

The previous Captain of the Royal Guard and Rachel's previous master.

## History

Prior to the novel he disappeared after his family was killed in the *London Incident.*

During the 2nd Cadet Exams, Lancaster disrupts Rachel as a hologram in a cave. Co-author made his attachment issues to his family worse and deepened his rage making him more likely to attack Rachel any time he wants.

Throughout the novel, Lancaster has sworn obedience multiple times to different characters such as Orden in order to eliminate the Royal Family and Rachel.

Co-author increased his potential to 8.5 (Reference: Nayun = 9.5/10).
Djinn

Djinn are people with gifts who have strong desires for something. These feelings weaken their hearts making them susceptible to the persuasion of devils. The person then form contracts with the devils becoming their subordinates in exchange for dark powers.

To briefly explain about Djinns, a Djinn was a human who formed a contract with a devil. In exchange for a human’s soul, a devil gave him power. Naturally, higher ranked devils gave stronger powers.

But if an ordinary human formed this contract, he would only become a demi-Djinn, a puppet without intelligence. The ‘Dog of Lucius’ from the museum was an example of this type.

Thanks to Lucius’ magic power, the man had gained enough power to combat Kim Suho, but losing his sanity to rage, he couldn’t even accomplish the mission his master gave him. If he ignored Kim Suho and killed his intended target, Lucius would have been satisfied.

Thus, even if it was more difficult to achieve, devils favored people whose bodies had ample magic power and vigor, yet underdeveloped mental power. Naturally, cadets were the perfect targets.

As such, I felt the need to prepare another weapon. If I encountered a Djinn in my current state, I had no hope of surviving.

Chameleon Troupe

A criminal organization dubbed 'the worst criminal group' by both the Hero Association and Pandemonium.

The Chameleon Troupe functions similar to a mercenary group, giving a lot of freedom to their members. It works as the famous Jeronimo Mercenary Group in disguise. They were not one but many at the same time; many were one thanks to Jain's ability to change one's appearance.

The founder and former boss of the Chameleon Troupe is Yi Yeonjun. He was assassinated by the former seat of black, Bell. The members of the troupe see Bell's actions as betrayal and are looking to get revenge on him. It's tricky because Bell is practically invincible and can dematerialize into magic energy. His cheat-like ability makes him arguably the most powerful character in the novel and his infamy as the former Black Seat seemed to have drawn the Heroes' attention when they heard of 'his' return. Of course, Bell didn't return; Kim Hajin took his seat.

During Yi Yeojun's leadership, the Chameleon Troupe had only had 4 known members, that being Bell, Boss, Jain and Kaita.

Today, it is lead by Yi Byul, called 'Boss' by the members of the troupe. The reason for each member joining the troupe often comes down to wanting to do criminal acts, receiving the backing of other powerful criminals in exchange for helping them in return. With such leeway for members joining the troupe, their objectives are vague and often boils down to doing what they want to do at the moment. For example, Kim Hajin, Yi Byul, Cheok Jungyeong, Jain, Jin Yohan and Kaita (and also Bell) spent over a year in the Tower of Wish mostly because they had fun stealing money, acquiring beautiful artifacts, fighting people, killing people or other not-so legal acts together. Even so, the troupe does have some basic goals besides helping Boss take revenge on Bell. They aspire to take over the Djinn-governed Pandemonium due to their collective hatred of djinns.

The Chameleon Troupe could be called an association of criminals acting in mutual benefit, but most members regard themselves as comrades.

In the epilogue, Jin Seyeon joins the Chameleon Troupe in an attempt to reduce the corruption within the Hero Association.

Essential Armory

Essential Armory is operated by Yoo Yeonha’s guild, Essence of the Strait.

It was an armory operated by the ‘Essence of the Strait’ guild. Since weapons above the artifact grade were sold in auctions, Essential Armory was the most popular website for factory manufactured weapons.

[Welcome to Essential Armory.]

As expected of the most popular weapons dealer website, it was well designed. The homepage showed off new items, while the top bar had categories such as sword, spear, bow, and rapier. Perhaps because mercenaries often used the website, it also had a good selection of guns.

I clicked on [category – gun].

There were different types of guns such as handgun, assault rifle, and sniper rifle. For now, a handgun suited me best since it didn’t hinder my movements. The Desert Eagle seemed to be a popular choice among handguns, as I quickly found it.

\_\_\_

Desert Eagle

—Feel the transcendental power! Built into the Desert Eagle is a magic amplification device that boosts the power of magic bullets! Because of its huge recoil, the Desert Eagle is recommended only for the most proficient sharpshooters.

\*Weight: 3.5948kg (1.2938kg with weight reduction magic effect added)

\*Length: 333mm

\*Identification and contract required to purchase.

\_\_\_

Desert Eagle. Its picture on the website looked much more beautiful than the original design. The barrel had an elegant platinum color, while a majestic eagle was inscribed on the grip. While looking like a piece of art, this weapon boasted a heavy weight and a bulky size.

Just from a glance, I could tell how powerful it was. There was just one problem.

“It’s too expensive.”

It was expensive. Its base price was 20 million won, and the price doubled when I clicked on a checkbox that said 'full attachments’. I needed the weapon to make money, so buying it almost seemed counterproductive.
Tower Crystal

When a Tower is conquered, it will condense into an unimaginably grand lump of magic power and be left behind in the world. Each crystal has a different function depending on the Tower that they come from.

Tower of Time - Time Stone: Formed after Jonghak's grandfather defeated the tower. A remnant of the time stone was used by a ghost to send the cast into the past.

Tower of Floods - Ocean Stone: Obtained on August 17th, 2023, when the Apostle of Saints defeated the tower.

Buoyancy Stone: Keeps the Clancey Islet afloat.

Information Stone.
The Tower of Wish

The tower of wish was a structure that suddenly came into existence, and its appearance marks the second arc of the story.

When it first appeared, so-called "tickets" began appearing over the world, and having one is the requirement to enter the tower. However, one can only use their ticket to join the tower at specific intervals, where the second came a month after the first. There are various ticket colors which bring varying effects, where black is the most valuable and rare one.

When first joining the tower, one will have their stats, and gift effects for that matter, drastically reduced (the more stats you have the greater the reduction), but will be able to regain their stats significantly faster than one would usually gain them. The stats accumulated while weakened will also count toward one's outside maximum stats, so by no means does the tower halt your usual maximum stat gain while trying to regain your old stats. The weakened stats will not remain after leaving the tower, but will be regained at the point you left them at if one re-enters.

It consists of 30 floors, where each floor has its own distinctive feature, and where the final goal is to surpass the final 30th floor. How one gets past a floor varies from floor to floor, and is designed to be a challenge. Each floor has a tower administrator assigned to it, to preserve the desired state of the floor.

Before being sent to progress the floors of the tower, a tutorial will have to be cleared. There are various difficulties of the tutorial. People who used a black ticket can only do the hardest difficulty.

Besides outright beating it, the tower of wish provides a multitudes of possible benefit, like fast maximum stat gain and valuable items. Most prominently though, the tower features a unique skill system where one can learn special skills with unique effects through magic books. There are various categories of skills, and there's a limit to how many you can gain of each.

Players have multiple lives within the tower, but it's also possible to lose multiple lives through one death. Dying within the tower will also cause you to lose skills you earned there. Some floors have harsher punishment for dying than others. (Example there is a curse that can kill even when you have all your lives)

Theories

## ***Theories about stuff that are still ambiguous***

### **The Second Author Is Actually A Devil**

This is based on the author's email being [homosapiens@neighbor.com] and how devils were at some point described as the neighbor of humanity or something. It's also somewhat based on how the second author gave Hajin a devilization gift while he seemingly foreshadowed disaster by pointing out "I can always delete it", hinting sinister motives by the second author. The theory has questionably little backup, but that's to be expected when we know as little as we do of the second author.

### **Is Bell Really A Traitor?**

In the novel, it is said that the seat of Black belongs to the strongest person in the Chameleon Troupe. If that is true, then doesn't that mean Bell killed the strongest member by himself? Moreover, why didn't he finish off the rest of the Chameleon Troupe knowing that they would someday rise back up to take revenge. He could have done many things to interfere with the Chameleon Troupe but didn't anyway. He is also preparing Jin Sahyuk to kill him one day for some reason. After rereading the novel a couple times, i remembered that the Chameleon Troupe did something that directly challenged Chae Joochul AKA The Immortal. Despite that, all of the members are still alive except for the original seat of Black. With all this evidence, i conclude that after the Chameleon Troupe challenged Chae Joochul, probably by stealing something of value from him, he planned to kill them all. Knowing how badly they messed up, the leader of the Chameleon Troupe, the original seat of Black, planned to own up to his mistake and had Bell kill him and bring his corpse to Chae Joochul, pleading for mercy. Chae Joochul accepted his plead and beat all of the members of the Chameleon Troupe until they were an inch away from death. Bell, realizing that Boss would probably try to take revenge, even if it was against The Immortal, decided to take the blame for killing the old Boss to prevent the group from attacking Chae Joochul again. Out of an act of guilt, Bell decided to train Jin Sahyuk to kill him one day for repentance. Also you may argue that Chae Joochul didn't kill the whole group because he still needed them, but it is said in the novel that he abandoned them so there was no reason to not kill them all.
Excavation Site
