This is a record of what has been revealed from Jeong Eunseok’s Record of Existence in the story thus far.
This is not a complete record.
Name: Jeong Eunseok
World Proof: [Honest Man’s Deception]
Titles:
- [Acacius Duval]
- [Caller of What Must Be True]
- [Executor of the Sacrifice’s Last Will]
- […]
Evaluation: Contradictory, hypocritical, capricious, and yet truthful and constant all the same, this being has chosen a way of life that others would find hard to match.
World Proof: [Honest Man’s Deception]
Form: Mask
Description: The crystallization of a certain human’s unforgiving resolve to remain “himself,” even if it meant giving up everything else.
Skill: As well as allowing the user to take the appearance of a target, this World Proof can also take the form and imitate the skill of that target’s World Proof. The skill imitation grows closer in power to the original skill according to the user’s understanding of the target.
- To take the target’s appearance, the user must know their name, and to imitate their World Proof, the user must additionally know its name.
- The skill will be forcefully dispersed when the user lies.
Inner World:
[Bloody Seed of Paradise]Description: Paradise is an illusion. But throughout history, countless bodies have been buried for the sake of that damning fantasy. What is the difference between the one who chases paradise, and the one who strikes it down?
Core Phenomenon: Once a day, cast and witness an illusion that traps the target in an illusion of their dreams or the destruction thereof. Though the witnesses’ subjective experience may differ, the illusion will last for three seconds.
Remaining trials: 3
Symbol: Acacia flower
Description: The heir of Cyprian Duval will surely be called by this name.
Symbol: Seamlessly knotted rope with no ends
Description: The dreamer of another future fears making great changes, lest the future slip out of control. Go forth and walk step by step to the end; dream as many variations as you like, for the destination you have envisioned will not change. But surely the small changes you accumulate will be enough to divert the path at the most critical moment.
Title Skill: When the user sleeps, they can dream of the future, from now until a chosen future point in time. Until they reach the end date of the future that they have seen, they will not be able to dream of a different end.
Note: Kosmonymia is watching you.
Symbol: Black knife
Description: Acacius Duval’s former World Proof. The power of a calculating mind that constantly evaluates others and describes others truly, even if it seems untrue. That which is hidden, or that which has not yet become true, shall surely be brought into the light.
Title Skill: The title bearer can forcibly bestow whoever the knife cuts with a title borrowed from the future. The more powerful the title and the farther the future, the more vitality the title bearer must sacrifice in return.
- If the target does not fulfill the requirements of the borrowed title through natural means by the time the future becomes the present, they will die.
Symbol/Manifestation: Bird cage
Description: The mind constructs the world to understand the world. The construct separates the mind from the world. The chick breaks out of the egg, and the egg is the world. Destroy that which imprisons you, and yourself with it.
Title Skill: Mitigates the rules of another’s world on the title holder if their world’s name or three sources can be identified. Mitigates spirits’ effects on the title holder if the spirit’s core title or three auxiliary titles can be identified. The degree of mitigation increases with knowledge of the target.
Note: A special reward to the one who destroyed their own framework of mind and abandoned the trodden path completely, unwilling to be bound by limits of the Inner World that was seen. He who wishes to change must reject the constructs by which he lives. Perhaps, however, the space outside the cage is also a cage.
Symbol: Silhouette emerging from stage curtains
Description: All the world is a stage, and you are merely an actor salvaging a broken play. So go ahead: laugh, cry, struggle, and rail against the world. Immerse yourself into the world that you love. But no matter what your seven emotions and six desires tell you, how could the affairs of that play have anything to do with you?
Title Skill: When activated, changes the nature of the title holder’s emotions towards their life from “a world that is real” to “a storyline that is being played through.”
Symbol: Golden chain
Description: A title obtained by carrying out the last will of those who died or were killed unjustly in pursuit of a greater cause. Of those you’ve met most recently, only Acacius Duval and the
[Last Genesis of the Kaleidoscope]fit the conditions.Passive Effect: You have an affinity for certain voices of the dead.
Note: This title is borrowed from the future. If you do not achieve the conditions to make it true within 1 year and 10 months, you will die.
Symbol: Knife behind a Yeongno mask
Description: The one who bore the grievances of the people and raged against the powerful must have been a monster. But everyone had grievances, and anyone could act. Which smiling face would be the next to reveal the mask? The monster will never die so long as the people are alive.
Active Skill: Due to insufficient existential power, the effects cannot be expressed.
Passive Skill: The title holder naturally belongs wherever people hold grievances in their hearts. Encourages others to accept and overlook any doubts about the title holder’s presence and identity.
- The skill is more effective against those with heavy “karma,” but may induce an additional sense of paranoia.
- The skill’s effects will end if the title holder shows hostility or breaches the target’s cognitive threshold of suspicion.
- Due to insufficient existential power, the full effects cannot be expressed.
Note: [Face Changer] was formerly recorded on the blacked-out pages at the end of Eunseok’s record. It is now visible after he ranked up to the Chronicle realm.
Symbol: Kalos butterfly
Description: The embodiment of the Eye of the Kaleidoscope. The one who used this power to break the circle of history is qualified to bear it.
Title Skill: Grants the title bearer the abilities and inheritance of the
[Last Genesis of the Kaleidoscope]. That which is “seen” must surely become true.Passive effect: Enables the use of the kaleidoscope perspective frame at all times, even in conjunction with other frames.
Symbol: Flames
Description: The results of one who has lived alongside danger and catastrophe all his life, yet escaped each time all the same, up until his chosen end. To brush by death so many times — is this unluckiness, or prescience?
Passive Effect: As long as the title bearer is determined to survive, close observations of their surroundings will increase the accuracy of their danger sense and survival instincts. The title bearer possesses increased resistance to perception-warping abilities. They may also extend their perception of danger to threats against nearby friends, family, and allies, even if it does not directly threaten the title bearer.
However, the title bearer will be easily entangled with dangerous situations as well.
Symbol: Black key engraved with a red eye
Description: When the bodies were buried and evidence burned, as the powers-that-were made every effort to erase all traces of what had happened there, one person crawled out of the ashes and swore to keep that history alive forever.
Passive Effect: The title bearer’s memories cannot be altered or erased by any powers that wish to conceal information. Hidden and forgotten matters are more likely to reach you.
Symbol: Butterfly with kaleidoscope patterned wings
Description: The carrier of the legacy of the Kaleidoscope. When you died, all possibility of reviving the Kaleidoscope died with you.
Passive Effect: The power of the Kaleidoscope is vested in you. That which is “seen” must surely become true.
The following titles have been mentioned but have not yet been fully described:
[Devotee to the Order of Signs][Flower in the Garden of Sin][Poison Adept][Sage of Red Dust’s Foolish Disciple]: symbolized with a tattoo of a burning tree. Placed on the shoulder. Its first appearance was in Professor Raoul’s first POV chapter, Lone Astrologer’s Record (1), and its general purpose was first described during his interrogation with Artunis in Mediation (4).A number of title tattoos were mentioned in Chapter 34.
At the end of the Record are a number of blacked out pages. When the Record is described in auditory format, these blacked-out pages are read out as, [Due to the Record Holder’s current lack of existential power, this title cannot be expressed.]
