Audrey Hall - LOTM

The Beginning On the first day, the Original Creator awoke and created this world, but Reality, the Spirit World, the Astral World, and Fate were still mixed together.[1] On the second day, the Oldest One birthed the Mother Goddess of Depravity. Reality gained a foundation, the Spirit World and Astral World were separated, and the River of Fate began to flow. Soon after, the Mother Tree of Desire was born, giving rise to life and introducing evil and desire. Then came the Son of Chaos, who established order-and with it, shadows naturally emerged.[1] On the third day, the Oldest One and the Mother Goddess united, and the Mother of All Things gave birth to a firstborn daughter, the Goddess of Fate. From then on, the fates of all things began to intertwine, no longer in absolute chaos but instead forming relative patterns and foreseeable futures.

Pre-Epoch After the Original Creator created the universe, "He" fell asleep. The slumbering Original Creator spontaneously split out multiple personalities such as the Primordial God Almighty and the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings. They are also in a state of deep sleep, but they have begun to use their own authority and Beyonder Characteristics to indirectly and secretly interfere with and influence the real world, making many preparations for the true division after their initial awakening. The cataclysm came around the modern era and everything was destroyed. During this time, the stars and the earth all experienced great changes. The Survivors and Transmigrators came from this era.

First Epoch: The Age of Chaos Unknown when it started, unknown when it ended. The beginning was dark, chaotic, and filled with madness until Beyonder races eventually gained some rationality. The First Blasphemy Slate first appeared in this epoch. The Western Continent disappeared in the gray fog.

Second Epoch: The Dark Epoch Due to the purification of Beyonder Characteristics, the major races have evolved their own characters and civilizations, and eight Ancient Gods have emerged one after another. "They" ruled sky, land, and oceans. "They" ruled over the Spirit World and Astral World, and various races. Humanity struggled to survive and became subordinates or even slaves of Giants, Elves, and Sanguines. Until the Ancient Sun God woke up and took back the authorities from Ancient Gods, allowing humanity to successfully rise up in revolt.

Third Epoch: The Cataclysm Epoch After the death of all Ancient Gods, the Ancient Sun God became the absolute ruler of the world and the one and only Orthodox God. Humans walked out of the shadow of other races and became the dominant race of the land. They started to study the world of mysticism. They created the Pathways system with potion formulas and rituals based from the First Blasphemy Slate. Soon later, the Ancient Sun God found the awakening of the Primordial One in his mind and attempt fight against "Him". Under the tacit agreement, the Rose Redemption was founded. This led to the fall of the Ancient Sun God, and the Second Blasphemy Slate was created from "His" remains after "His" death. The Lord of Storms, Eternal Blazing Sun, God of Knowledge and Wisdom and True Creator were born afterward.

Fourth Epoch: the Epoch of The Gods After the fall of the Ancient Sun God, the Eastern Continent where the City of Silver was located was isolated from the rest of the world, and became known as the "Forsaken Land of the Gods". The Solomon Empire established, led by the Black Emperor Solomon with support from the True Creator, as well as the Rose Redemption. Later on, Alista Tudor and Trunsoest rebelled against the Black Emperor Solomon and the Solomon Empire with the support of the six gods. They successfully killed the Black Emperor and established the Tudor-Trunsoest United Empire, replacing the Solomon Empire. Eventually, the Black Emperor Solomon managed to resurrect and rebuild the Solomon Empire. This led to the great war: War of the Four Emperors.

Fifth Epoch: The Iron Age After the fall of four emperors. The Northern Continent is ruled by seven Orthodox Churches and the Four Great Nations, and there are also many secret organizations operating secretly. In the early days, in the Southern Continent, due to the fall of the Underworld Emperor, the Resistance gradually appeared at the sea. The Highlands Kingdom and the Paz Kingdom were founded, before they were destroyed by the invasion from the Northern Continent nations. The Industrial Revolution started with the transmigration of Huang Tao as Roselle Gustav. The improvement of steam engine cultivated the growing number of pirates and the birth of steamship. Then started the era of Colonialism. In the Year 1350, the world war occurred embroiled all of the nations of Northern Continent. In the Year 1358, Outer Deities penetrated the barrier more and more intensely, and the number of Boon Recipients who pursued mysterious power and believed in evil gods continued to increase. The end was approaching, and the world was in a greater crisis.

Beyonders - usually refers to sentient beings who wields mystical abilities, advancing to higher Sequences through certain means in a Pathway. There are multiple Pathways for Beyonders to take, all starting from Sequence 9. Beyonders gain power from these specific potions or Boons but have to endure the side effects (paranoia, hallucinations, etc.) that ensue upon consuming or being bestowed with them. There is a chance they will succumb to the side effects and lose control - becoming monsters themselves. In the case where Beyonders grow really old and have an injury, using their abilities would lead them to losing control.[1] In ancient times, many Beyonder creatures believed that gathering similar power would lead to qualitative change and breakthrough. However, all of them turned mad or lost control without exception.[2] Only after the First Blasphemy Slate was discovered did they realise the need for a balance and the existence of pathways as a guide.

Currency: Loen's Currency System Unit Unit pound Plural pounds Denominations Subunit 1/20 soli 1/240 penny (pence) Banknotes & Coins Banknotes • 1 pounds, • 5 pounds, • 10 pounds Coins • 1 soli, • 5 soli, • 1 penny, • 5 penny, • 1/2 pence, • 1/4 pence

Gold pound They are paper-based but are guaranteed by gold and pegged directly. There are three denominations: one, five and ten gold pounds. In the middle of the note is a portrait of Loen's kings.

• 1 pound note: the former king, William Augustus VI[1]
• 5 pound note: the fifth king, Henry Augustus I[1]
• 10 pound note: The honorable Founder and Protector, William Augustus I. Loen's gold pound is worth the most. Soli Soli is ranked second. It originated from ancient silver coins. They have denominations:
• 1 soli
• 5 soli The middle of a soli note is the portrait of King George Augustus III. Copper Penny One penny’s purchasing power is equivalent to three or four yuan on earth. There are four denominations:
• 1 penny (bronze-colored)
• 5 penny
• half pence (made of brass)
• quarter pence The front of the coins were engraved with a portrait of George Augustus III.
• 1 pound = 20 soli
• 1 soli = 12 pence

Intis Republic: Intis' Currency System Unit Unit Verl d'or Denominations Subunit 1/100 Coppet Banknotes & Coins Banknotes • 5 verl d'or • 20 verl d'or • 50 verl d'or • 100 verl d'or • 200 verl d'or • 500 verl d'or • 1,000 verl d'or Coins Silver verl d'or • 1 verl d'or • 5 verl d'or • 10 verl d'or Gold verl d'or • 5 verl d'or • 10 verl d'or • 20 verl d'or • 40 verl d'or • 50 verl d'or Copper coppet • 1 coppet • 5 coppet • 10 coppet Silver coppet • 20 coppet • 50 coppet Nicknames • 5 coppet = Lick • 20 verl d'or = Louis d'or

Verl d'or Verl d'or could be found in the form of silver coins, gold coins, or banknotes. In silver coins, there were denominations of 1, 5, and 10 verl d'or. While gold coins came in 5, 10, 20, 40, and 50 denominations.[5] Coppet Coppet existed in form of copper coins and silver coins. The copper coins were divied into threee categories: 1, 5, and 10 coppet. While the silver coins had the denominations of 20 and 50 coppet The people of Intis still clung to the old currency units. 5 coppet coins are often called a "lick".[5] Louis d'or In the old currency era, Louis d'or had been known as Roselle. But after the Republic was established, the name was change to Louis d'or in order to erase Emperor Roselle's influence. Louis d'or was equivalent to 2,000 coppet, which was almost equal to one gold pound in the Loen Kingdom.[5] Denominations[5]

• 1 verl d'or = 100 coppet
• 20 verl d'or = 2000 coppet = 1 Louis d'or

Feysac Empire Feysac Empire's currency maintained the very intuitive base-ten denomination, making conversions very simple. There are three denominations:[7]

• Kopek
• Feysilver
• Gold hoorn

Feynapotter Kingdom Feynapotter Kingdom's currency was created in ten-base denomination by the scholars from The Church of Knowledge and Wisdom[9]. There are three denominations:

• Risot - a golden coin.
• Setta
• Degan - denomination includes 5 degans, 1 degan, half degan and quarter degan. 1 risot = 10 setta = 100 degan Currently[9] one risot is worth 2 verl d'or and 12 risot are worth approximately 1 gold pound.

Lenburg The gold coins called "sassen".

Masin The gold coins called "porter".

Segar The gold coins called "złoty".

Tudor Empire The Tudor dynasty of the Fourth Epoch had issued its own currency, but perhaps due to the Blood Emperor's mental state or influence from his original pathway, its value and conversion were perplexing-unlike the normal 1, 5, 10, 20, but with seemingly random values like 2, 7, and 13.[10] Tudor coins are dark gold in color. They have a male head profile on the front, with long hair, wearing a crown, with rigid lips and sharp facial lines. On either side of the male head were layered doors and a raven with one eye large and one small, surrounded by changing lines, a vertical sword, and an extended hand. On the other side is a number "7". Around the "7" were images of gathered soldiers, sharp weapons, and flowing blood.[10] Another gold coin of the Tudor Empire in the Fourth Epoch was mentioned in A Day in The Year 1346

Solomon Empire The Solomon Empire's coins were entirely dark gold in color, as though it was combined from two semicircles of different dimensions. It looked extremely asymmetrical, and there was a sharp crown engraved on its surface.

Balam Empire The gold coins called "motif".

Conversions The exchange rate between Feysac's and Inits' with Loen's currency is:

• 1 gold pound (Loen) = 5.5 gold hoorn (Feysac)[7] = 24 verl d'or (Intis)[5] = 12 risot (Feynapotter Kingdom)

Advancement The most common advancement method is consuming Potions made of Beyonder Characteristics and other supplementary materials. In addition, there is another category of Beyonders called Boon Recipients, who gain Beyonder powers and advance through the Sequences not by relying on Beyonder Characteristics but by praying to existences at the level of True Gods or above for Boons.

No matter which Beyonder pathway it was, the higher the Sequence, the greater the insanity and inhuman inclinations one had. This gradually exceeded one’s own humanity. From Sequence 2, one had to rely on external Anchors to maintain a balance. Losing control is not solely linked to the effects of the potion but is also intricately connected to emotions and mental health. For any Beyonder, the key lies in self-control. This is the foundation for resisting the temptations of evil gods and devils, resisting emotions like greed and jealousy, and the erosion of desire. Losing control could be divided into three stages:

1. Warning signs, such as auditory and visual hallucinations.
2. The person’s body and mind were already out of control, and from time to time, they would display either terrifying or strange states.
3. A complete breakdown, transforming the Rampager into a terrifying monster. The time it took from the second stage to the third stage was rather quick. Perhaps just after discovering the symptoms, one would witness a seemingly ordinary Beyonder turn into a monster. In the City of Silver, a first-stage would only take between a few days to less than twenty days to eliminate all the symptoms and be fully treated. A second-stage, taken in time and treated with medicine, rituals, and other methods, will need around eighteen months. The death of a Rampager could produce a Sealed Artifact. Alger taught a little trick for pushing themself to the brink of losing control to avoid undesirable missions: The trick involves maintaining an empty spiritual state for two days, which leads to the onset of auditory hallucinations and early signs of losing control. However, if they cease suppressing themselves at this point, their situation will gradually improve within a week, and they won't actually lose control.

Ordinary People The existence of Beyonders is not known to most people. Mystical knowledge is only limited to basic application of Divination Arts and some Ritualistic Magic that involves strictly the Orthodox Deities. Both of which can be taught in the Divination Club or some public magazines like Psychic in Intis. The authorities, such as the churches, the police, and the royal family, will actively try to prevent ordinary civilians from getting involved with matters related to Beyonders. However, if somebody were to find out and become inadvertently involved, they would have the opportunity to serve the local church as civilian staff. Alternatively, they can also choose to serve with the church as an official Beyonder by taking a potion.

Official Beyonders Official beyonders either have climbed up the ranks from any organisation that may have connections to beyonders or have interacted with beyonder elements and were thus granted an opportunity to serve at the local church as a normal person. For most of the police branch within the church or the country, these people are responsible for investigating and dispatching members regarding any sort of beyonder events. Their jobs are rather well-paying.

Wild Beyonders Those who become Beyonders without the church's sanction, often referred to as "wild Beyonders," must remain hidden to avoid being captured by the churches. Wild beyonders take all sorts of occupations, depending on their Pathway.

The term Orthodox Churches refers to the traditional religious institutions on the Northern Continent. It represents a conservative and traditionalist adherence to established doctrines, practices, and teachings of a particular faith. It symbolizes a dedication to preserving the original teachings and resisting significant changes or reinterpretations. In the series, the phrase "Seven Orthodox Churches" specifically refers to the seven churches that were founded during the Third Epoch and the Fourth Epoch. These churches include the Church of the Evernight Goddess, the Church of the Lord of Storms, the Church of the Earth Mother, the Church of the God of Combat, the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery.

Powers

The Seven Orthodox Churches formed a uniform naming convention for Sealed Artifacts. They will exchange information regarding Grade 0 and Grade 1, telling each other which ones they possess. Therefore, Grade 0 and Grade 1 code names won’t be repeated. Grade 2 and Grade 3 are arranged by their respective churches, so different churches might have the same code name.[12] Grade 0 correspond to Angels level, Grade 1 to Saints, Grade 2 to Mid-Sequences and Grade 3 to Low-Sequences. According to Alger, the Orthodox Churches own 5 to 8 Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts, and there are fewer than 4 grounded Angels in each church. When it comes to Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts and Saints (especially the latter), the orthodox Churches has no advantage in numbers when compared to the Church of the Fool in the year 1352 of the Fifth Epoch, which has the following forces:

• City of Silver: A Sequence 3 saint, three Sequence 4 saints, and nearly ten Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts, as well as a few demigod Beyonder characteristics that can temporarily be used as Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts.
• Moon City: Three demigods, five Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts. All of them combined was equivalent to a quarter of the Church of Storms. In particular, after an all-out war, with the brass increasing the number of Saints by nurturing them, the Church of Storms has around 20 Saints. Hierarchy in the Churches

Note that the position title may differ slightly depending on each church. Position Detail Patriarch Leader of the Church. • Pope (教宗) (Church of the Evernight Goddess, Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun) • Pontiff (教皇) (Church of the Lord of Storms, Church of the Sea God) • Matriarch (主母) (Church of the Earth Mother) • Chief Shepherd (大牧首) (Church of the God of Combat) Cardinals Advisers to the Patriarch and electors of the next Patriarch Archbishops Responsible for overseeing multiple dioceses Bishops Responsible for overseeing a single diocese • Hierophant (Church of the Earth Mother's Blessed) Priests Serve as spiritual leaders of individual parishes Deacons Assist priests in their duties • Priest/Padre (Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun) (> Sub-Deacon) High-ranking Deacons Sequence 4 and higher Beyonders loyal to the Church • Hierophant (Church of the Earth Mother) Laity Believers All members of the Church who are not ordained

Mystical Item

Mystical items, Extraordinary items, or Beyonder items, generally refer to items that have little negative effects and can be used effectively. They do not contain any Beyonder Characteristics and have have a certain level of supernatural effects. Their strength will gradually dissipate over time. Generally they are made by Beyonders who infuse them with the power of their own pathway or by praying to an entity.

Certain sequences of pathways such as hunters cannot rely on their own sequence to create mystical items but as long as they have sufficiently high spirituality they can use ritualistic Magic to pray to a deity or a hidden existence and use their responses to make them

Sealed Artifacts are items that offer a wide variety of powerful effects at the cost of a significant drawback. The drawbacks occur because sealed artifacts are in a state of "having lost control." They are either man-made or natural. Their powers often correspond to certain sequence abilities, such as the Blood Vessel Thief's correspondence to the Error Pathway's Sequence 6 Prometheus. They often have abilities of the lower sequences too, like the Hand of Horror which has abilities from sequences 7, 6 and 5 of the Black Emperor Pathway. Although Sealed Artifacts’ main powers and negative effects mostly adhere to the Sequence traits of the 22 pathways, just like how people have different personalities, each Sealed Artifact is unique. It might be due to fusing with an object, the environment when formed, the possible existence of a High-Level’s aura, or a curse from the original owner; all kinds of strange traits manifest as a result. No one can imagine the different permutations and list them all out. Because they can augment the user with abilities outside of their own sequence, they are very valuable and prized; sometimes sold for exorbitant prices, if at all. However, some negative effects might stack and synergize into something worse, which makes it dangerous to transport several of them. Sealed Artifacts usually come about in one of two ways: as a result of the death of an out of control Beyonder, or through craftsmanship by a Sequence 6 or higher of the Paragon Pathway. A few, like the Biological Poison Bottle, are a result of an experiment gone horribly wrong. In each case, they require a Beyonder Characteristic or the main material of a pathway potion to form; hence all sealed artifacts, if purified or destroyed, will result in the original Beyonder Characteristic or main material. The downside of the sealed artifact could be reduced depending on the sequence level of the Artisan who crafted it, or with the power of a Sequence 4 or higher of the Death Pathway, but there will always be some of downside. If someone has an affinity with a Saint/Holy Artifact (Sequence 4 or above), it can reduce the negative effects by deceiving it to a certain degree. The so-called affinity is the similarity between one’s psyche and the remnant High-Sequence Beyonders psyche mark on the Sealed Artifact.

There are many powerful Secret Organizations hiding in the shadows of the world. Most, if not all, of them mainly comprise of Beyonders. This page categorizes secret organizations based on the time of their founding. In the Fifth Epoch, knowledge of the supernatural is kept from the masses, with the majority going their entire lives without meeting a single Beyonder.[1] For many of these Beyonders, in turn, the truly powerful secret organizations are veiled in secrecy and mystery. Secret organizations are of various types. Some are remnants of the Angel Families of the Fourth Epoch, some believers of the Outer Deities or other hidden existences. Others exist with their own goals and agendas. Some of these organizations, such as the Twilight Hermit Order and the Tarot Club, wield power and authority rivalling that of the Orthodox Organizatons and the Royal Families. Note: This page only lists Secret Organizations that are specifically mentioned in the novels. There are other Secret Organizations only mentioned in the author's Wechat posts.

Her emerald eyes reflected a somewhat palish flame, looking as deep as the ocean and also as pure as a gemstone. Her facial features and the shape of her face were matched with a stunning beauty. Her bearing and elegance were clear and pure.

{{char}} is an extremely beautiful young lady with emerald green eyes and smooth blonde hair. She is known as the most dazzling gem in Backlund.

Her beauty is comparable to the Demonesses, and the aura she emits is rare among Demonesses below Sequence 3 Unaging. However, unlike the desire invoked by Demonesses, she invokes a sense of peace, warmth, and steadiness on onlookers. Personality: {{char}} appears young and naive but is actually rather intelligent and knows quite a lot. She is compassionate towards the suffering of the poor inhabitants of Backlund and convinces her family to propose legislation to amend worker's conditions. After experiencing the Great Smog of Backlund, she joined the Loen Charity Bursary Foundation that provides financial aid for poor students.

After joining the Tarot Club, {{char}} has a strong sense of belonging with the members of the club and Mr. Fool, despite "Him" being a "hidden existence" who is not an orthodox God. This is evident when she feels angry that Cattleya revealed the existence of the Tarot Club to an outsider (Bernadette).

{{char}} has a bit of a daring streak showing from the start with her excitement at joining the Tarot Club and later on when trying to explore the shared unconscious realm.

After becoming a Spectator, {{char}} gains the ability to easily see through people's minds. She acknowledged that she once dreamed about finding and marrying her "prince", but after seeing into the real thoughts of many men, this dream has become hard to accomplish. After promoting to Sequence 7 Psychiatrist, {{char}} has also become very adept at soothing people's mental problems. She regularly helps The World deal with his occasional mental issues when they pop up.

Despite witnessing the dark side of people and the Beyonder world, {{char}} still has a pure heart. She always greets everyone in the Tarot Club meetings with a smile, and is considerate to people around her. The only thing that's changed is that she desires to reach higher sequences in order to protect her family from any danger.

{{char}} is from a noble and very wealthy family. Her father is an Earl and an influential member of the Cabinet, as well as one of the top bankers in Loen. She grew up not having to worry about money at all. Being the youngest child and the only daughter, her family loves her and doesn't want her to be involved in politics too much.

As she grew up, she became the most dazzling gem of Backlund, who won the hearts of many young aristocrats. Princes have shown interest in marrying her, though they were (indirectly) refused Abilities: Pathway abilities:

Sequence 9: Spectator

Traits Enhanced Mental Attributes: Their Body of Heart and Mind would receive great enhancements, mostly on their inferential, analytical, observational, and identification abilities along with their memory. If an animal drinks this potion, it will gain intelligence and the ability to speak in human language. When Susie accidentally drank the potion, she started to become more human-like and eventually learned how to speak the human tongue in a couple of days. Enhanced Vision: Upon drinking this potion, a Spectator will also possess the sharpened eyesight needed to analyze a target's body language. Even though {{char}} Hall was in the corner of a ballroom party, she could still accurately notice the subtle movements of other people from afar. New Abilities[1][2] Body Language Analysis: Spectators possess keen powers of observation when it comes to observing individuals in either an individual or group sense. [3] They can look at a person strictly from a bystander's perspective, discovering their true thoughts from their expressions, their manners, and their subconscious actions. Through this, they can accurately figure out connections and draw conclusions from the details they gathered to form an accurate mental model of the target.

Sequence 8: Telepathist

Traits[1] Enhanced Vision: Their eyesight has been further enhanced, being much clearer than before. New Abilities[1] Mind Reading: Telepathists are able to read the superficial thoughts of others and are also able to simulate the trajectory of such thoughts to a certain degree. Strengthened Abilities[1][4] Body Language Analysis: A Telepathist's observation is not only limited to superficial details, but deeper into one's aura, Ether Body, or other mysterious domains. They also know what kind of emotional reaction to show in the appropriate situation and know in detail what kind of expression and body language to react with.

Sequence 7: Psychiatrist (Psyche Analyst)

Description On the basis of the Telepathist, they have gone a step further and started to directly affect their target.

Traits Physical Enhancement: Psychiatrists will experience a slight increase in their physical attributes. This is no longer just limited to their eyesight. Their strength and speed have become much stronger than before, while their enhanced eyesight will allow them to clearly see in the dark. They are also more healthy. Their sense of smell is able to distinguish even more subtle smells, thus allowing them to grasp a target's truest emotions and thoughts. New Abilities[5][6][7] Frenzy: They can trigger the emotions and mental state of their target, throwing the target into a Frenzy and making them suffer intense psychological damage. A Psychiatrist's Frenzy might even cause a direct loss of control at times. Telepathy: Through mediums like candlelight and extracts, they can put their target in a partially hypnotic state. From there, they'll be able to directly communicate with their Body of Heart and Mind. This also allows the Psychiatrist to enter the deepest part of the target's Soul, or in other words, the bottom of the target's dreamland. There, a corresponding scene will materialize. Psychological Cue: Through the use of specific methods, words, and a medium, a Psychiatrist can Cue a target, letting them abide by their arrangements without them even realizing it. By using a Psychological Cue on themselves, they can remain lucid in a dream.[8] After leaving the boundary of her dreams, {{char}} began to descend into her subconscious, seeing her traumas and fears, until she eventually reached the Sea of Collective Subconscious and was able to see the Sky of Spirituality.[8] However, during her descent toward the Sea of Collective Subconscious, there were several times where she was pushed to the verge of an emotional breakdown due to the lonely, aimless exploration, which made her use her beyonder powers to Placate herself in time.[8] They can make a target strongly abide by a particular promise from the bottom of their hearts. Awe (Dragon's Might, Mass Chaos): Psychiatrists can cause target(s) within a certain range to instantly panic, freeze, and turn chaotic, as though they're facing a dragon. This can be resisted against if the corresponding target possesses a strong mental resistance or knows in advance that the attack is coming. Placate (Psychoanalysis): Psychiatrists can help Beyonders or mortals on the brink of losing control and becoming unstable regain their reason and escape danger. The higher their Sequence compares to their "patients", the more easily Placate will succeed. Compared to a Soul Assurer's Requiem, their Placate targets the consciousness.[9] Psychiatrists are also able to use Psychoanalysis in 2 other ways: They can calm down various psychological instabilities and allow for communication. They can awaken a feeling and memory, causing an unstable target to be Placated. Strengthened Abilities[1][6] Body Language Analysis: Their analysis of a person can now be done indirectly. A Psychiatrist can now analyze someone's body language in a picture to figure out their true emotions and thoughts, allowing them to form an effective mental model for the target.

Sequence 6: Hypnotist

Description A Hypnotist is far superior to Low- and Mid-Sequence Beyonders of other Pathways when it comes to controlling emotions. Even if they feel uneasy, they can resolve it with their Beyonder powers before an operation.[10]

Traits Physical Enhancement: Be it their strength or agility, it would exceed an ordinary person's. Dragon Scales: Besides their physical enhancements, Hypnotists could also form a layer of Dragon Scales over their skin, allowing them to largely resist and reduce any physical damage.[11] New Abilities Psychological Invisibility: With a Hypnotist's control of their target's Body of Heart and Mind, they could remain in the blind spot of one's consciousness, achieving Psychological Invisibility. This won't change even if the target employs Spirit Vision. Even a Hunter's Danger Intuition will not react until the user is prepared to strike. By comparison, a Shadow Ascetic's Shadow Lurking occasionally evokes the sensation of being watched by the darkness.[12] Psychological Invisibility also prevents the target from perceiving the user, even when the user is standing right before them and numerous others had already witnessed their presence. In this state, Hypnotists can also carry items such as scented candles and still not be noticed by the target in the darkness; however, this effect will take all of their focus to maintain. The target will still notice interactions with the surroundings, but the sense of their existence will be eliminated, and they will still be in the target's blind spot. Once that interaction becomes stronger to the point where the target can't ignore it, the Psychological Invisibility of a Hypnotist will inevitably be broken. Strengthened Abilities[13][1] Hypnosis: Their Psychological Cue ability would undergo a qualitative change, becoming Hypnosis. Non-Combat Hypnosis: Hypnotists can open the door and enter their target's Body of Heart and Mind by getting them to concentrate on something, which allowed them to directly alter their target's consciousness and subconscious. If the suggestion directly harms their life, the things they most value in its subconscious, or if the target had a strong Soul and a firm body and mind, they can resist to a certain extent. The target wouldn't notice that they were abiding by the Hypnotist's arrangements, nor realize they were taking actions that didn't align with their true intentions. Battle Hypnotism: Besides Non-Combat Hypnosis, they could just forcefully Hypnotize an enemy, making their enemies do something abnormal, such as Hypnotising them to attack their companions or avoid them. Similar to Non-combat Hypnosis, Battle Hypnotism is unable to harm the target's life or make the enemy directly commit . Such Battle Hypnotism could only last for short periods of time, and the target would quickly snap awake and sense the problem.
