• The Door in the Pupil members gathered in Silver Moon City, where the Leader noted that Dark Abyss had been caught in Sky City’s explosion and had fallen into slumber.

The Door in the Pupil discussed the damage to its plans and the Star Prophecy, identifying a secret Olyvendi–Alfred experiment or Fiona as possible subjects. As the meeting prepared to adjourn, Zero volunteered to take over the group’s remaining arrangements in the Gloria Empire.

• The Respected Leader convened the Black Robed Men and heard Gray Mist report that the Star Gazing High Tower was under lockdown and the Star Gazer had suffered a severe backlash from fate.

At Pamir Academy, Anvis examined Fia’s new ability to switch elemental attributes while Fiona asked him to help persuade their father to let her join a treasure hunt.

• Anvis examined Fia and agreed to Fiona’s request to seek their parents’ consent for her to join Vent and the other Stellar Disk Fragment holders in searching for the Treasure of the Civilization of Stars.

Anvis agreed to ask Duke Carlot to let Fiona explore during the academy break, then completed his experiment on Fia. That night, a crisis prophecy showed a black-robed figure beside a sleeping Fiona, while Prophet Gray Mist realized Anvis had foreseen the protection he left for Star.

• Anvis agreed to speak to Duke Carlot about allowing Fiona to explore with Vent and the others during the academy break.
• Fiona asked about the Katchi Party, and Anvis explained its disguises and advised her not to attend.
• Anvis finished examining Fia, released her from the Magic Array, and listened as Fiona praised his abilities.
• During Deep Meditation, Anvis sensed a crisis prophecy, connected to the Old Days Secret Scripture, and saw a black-robed figure beside Fiona.
• Prophet Gray Mist opened his eyes in disbelief after Anvis foresaw the protection he had left for Star.

After Anvis foresaw a powerful enemy targeting him and Fiona, Duke Carlot and the Olyvendi and Alfred families decided to lure the enemy out rather than wait defensively. Anvis arranged for Fiona to leave Pamir Academy during the Mid-Year Festival, unaware that she would be used as bait.

• Anvis analyzed his prophecy and concluded that a force with a Ninth Rank Expert and a powerful prophet might be targeting him and Fiona.
• Anvis warned Duke Carlot, who told them to stay at Pamir Academy while he consulted the Olyvendi and Alfred families.
• The families chose to lure out the enemy, with Duke Carlot and other Ninth Rank Experts waiting in ambush.
• Anvis proposed using Fiona's planned Mid-Year Festival trip with Vent and the others to search for the Stellar Civilization's lost inheritance.
• Anvis told Fiona that Duke Carlot had approved her trip to draw out a hidden enemy, and Fiona eagerly looked forward to the adventure.

Anvis prepared to face the approaching enemy by relying on the Old Days Secret Scripture and the Themis Colossus, then focused on creating a Space Gate Artifact to let the Colossus’s Annihilation Rule Strike pass from dreams into reality. A vision showed the enemy drawing closer, leaving Anvis convinced the crisis was near and Duke Carlot’s protection might not be enough.

• Anvis assessed his defenses and reviewed the Old Days Secret Scripture’s new abilities, including Mirror Replacement, Sacrifice, and Corruption.
• Anvis considered the Themis Colossus his strongest weapon, since its remaining Mana could power one Annihilation Rule Strike.
• Anvis set aside his other research and spent half a month in his Magic Laboratory creating a Space Gate Artifact sturdy enough for the Colossus’s attack.
• Anvis experienced a vision of the black humanoid figure approaching while Fiona floated beside it, then woke as it nearly touched him.
• Anvis concluded that the danger was close and Duke Carlot’s protection might not secure him and Fiona, then resumed refining the artifact’s final component.

Anvis completed the Sevenfold Ring and prepared for the possibility that the prophecy’s attack would breach the family’s defenses. He recognized that the crisis also offered him a chance to disappear, then met Harvey at the academy.

• Anvis finished the Sevenfold Ring, opened a connection to the Dream World, and reported his second prophecy to Duke Carlot.
• Duke Carlot reassured Anvis that several Ninth Ranks would protect him and Fiona, though Anvis still prepared for the family’s defenses to fail.
• Anvis secured his Laboratory, put away the nearly finished bloodline sample, and reflected that the accelerated crisis had disrupted his plans but offered a chance to disappear.
• Anvis headed to the High Tower Restaurant, where Harvey greeted him while leaving with a Winged People girl.
• Harvey asked Anvis whether anything interesting had happened at the academy.

• Harvey told Anvis that Fiona had asked about the Katchi Party after seeing his invitations, and Anvis warned Harvey not to let it happen again.
• Anvis secretly altered Harvey’s senses for fifteen days, told him to avoid contacting him during upcoming unusual events, and warned him about Lewis and the Ellinor Family.
• Anvis found a recording from Prince Lanno saying the Royal Family’s Prophet had uncovered something related to Fiona and that Lanno had been ordered to stop approaching her.
• Anvis prepared for a possible disappearance by arranging for research to continue, sending Ogman bloodlines and resources, and recording Magic Shadow Crystal Balls as a contingency.
• That night, Anvis placed the recordings and other items in a ring for delivery to the Duke, then heard the doorbell ring.

Anvis realized the unknown enemy might strike Fiona inside Pamir Academy before the Mid-Year Festival and prepared to protect her by disguising her as himself. The chapter left Fiona frightened as Anvis sent her off with instructions and supplies, while his own next steps remained unclear.

• Fiona visited Anvis, saying she felt watched and too uneasy to stay alone at her residence.
• Anvis realized the enemy might attack before the Mid-Year Festival, even within Pamir Academy.
• Anvis brought Fiona to his bedroom and ordered her to change into his clothes, then used Magic to make her appearance and auras indistinguishable from his own.
• Anvis arranged for Fiona's pets to be stored away, gave her his Family Amulet and a ring with instructions, and told her to impersonate him if needed.
• Fiona asked Anvis to seek the Dean's help, but he refused and said he did nothing without a reason.

Anvis arranged to disappear under Fiona’s identity to protect her and misdirect the forces targeting them. Star infiltrated Royal Pamir Academy, captured Fiona, and fled when a burst of Mana light triggered the Mystic Lock’s alarm.

• Anvis told Fiona that enemies and the Imperial Royal Family were targeting her, then explained that he would let them believe she had been taken while he remained free under his own identity.
• Anvis sealed Fiona’s Stellar Disk fragment in the Time-Space Stasis Box and placed Kate in the Underground Lab’s Isolation Magic Array.
• Anvis entered Fiona’s bedroom, used the Old Days Secret Scripture to enter a shallow Meditation State, and waited for the enemy to arrive.
• Star entered Royal Pamir Academy without being affected by its Mystic Lock and flew to the residence Anvis shared with Fiona.
• Star detected Fiona, knocked her unconscious, and took her from the bedroom.
• A pillar of Mana light erupted in Anvis’s courtyard and triggered the Mystic Lock’s emergency scan, so Star abandoned her plan to take Anvis and teleported away with Fiona.

Anvis’s warning beam forced his attackers to flee the academy with him, while Fiona remained behind and activated his family amulet. After the kidnapping sparked panic and political pressure across the Empire, Anvis awoke in an underground hall before the masked leader of the enemy group, who mistook him for Fiona.

• Anvis’s warning beam triggered the academy’s Mystic Lock defenses, and Xing teleported away with him before a Ninth-Rank Lord could catch them.
• Fiona activated Anvis’s family amulet as Duke Carlot waited for permission to enter the locked academy.
• Rumors spread about the attack, and Headmaster Saros reassured students while the academy faced demands from the Imperial Royal Family and the Olyvendi and Alfred Families.
• The Olyvendi Family, the Alfred Family, and other powerful groups began searching for Fiona and offering rewards for information or her return.
• Anvis woke in an underground hall, where Xing reported that the target had been brought to the masked leader.
• The leader asked whether Anvis was the Crystal Bird Star from the prophecy, and Anvis pretended to be Fiona and demanded to be sent home.

Star brought Anvis to the Federation’s research base, where Gray Mist identified her as Fiona Olyvendi and a possible Child of Destiny. Gray Mist confiscated her belongings and prepared to study her, while Star questioned whether the experiment would endanger her life.

• The Leader ordered Star to take Anvis to Gray Mist, and Star teleported her to a concealed research facility.
• Anvis tried to persuade Star to return her safely by offering the Olyvendi Family’s friendship, but Star refused to break her promise to the Leader.
• Gray Mist examined Anvis and identified her as Fiona Olyvendi, whose Fate Line suggested she was a Child of Destiny.
• Gray Mist took Anvis’s belongings, destroyed the gem that could contact or track her family, and sent her remaining possessions to the Secret Vault.
• Star asked whether Gray Mist’s experiment would put Anvis’s life in danger, and Gray Mist replied that everyone died eventually.

Gray Mist planned to use Anvis’s blood to test whether Star was the Crystal Bird Star and hoped to turn her fate into a powerful artifact. While Gray Mist’s ritual took shape, Anvis secretly entered the Secret Vault and began stealing its stored treasures.

• Gray Mist explained that Star might be divination material for a Fate Artifact and began forming a ritual circle with a drop of Anvis’s blood.
• Star left the base after thinking that Anvis resembled someone she knew, though she concluded he was not that person.
• A Mithril Golem carried Anvis’s belongings into the Secret Vault and stored them in a display case.
• Anvis used a cloak to evade the vault’s detection waves, then assessed the ritual’s progress and decided to attack Gray Mist before it was complete.
• Anvis bypassed the weaker display cases’ defenses and began replacing their treasures with illusions while packing the real items into a Space Expansion Box.

Anvis looted the Secret Vault and activated a Dream Oddity, triggering alarms as Gray Mist tried to escape with Fiona. A hidden Annihilation Beam destroyed Fiona and Gray Mist’s Fate Mirror Image, leaving Gray Mist weakened and afraid to return to the base while Anvis prepared to disappear.

• Anvis filled a Space Expansion Box with the Secret Vault’s resources and searched the base for hidden treasures.
• Anvis activated a Dream Oddity, exposing the intrusion and setting off the base’s alarms.
• Gray Mist sensed danger, seized Fiona, and teleported toward the base’s emergency escape array.
• A concealed Annihilation Beam struck Fiona and annihilated Gray Mist’s Fate Mirror Image, forcing him to reappear outside in a weakened state.
• Gray Mist recognized the attack as resembling the Themis Colossus’s core armament and suspected the Circle of Truth, while Anvis prepared to disappear.

Anvis looted Lord Gray Mist's Secret Vault before escaping the Underground Base and erasing his trail with a nuclear explosion. Lord Gray Mist, Star, and Night Knight contained the blast but lost track of him.

• Anvis and his Avatar forced open the Ninth Rank display cases while magic sealed the Secret Vault against its defenses.
• Lord Gray Mist contacted Star and other Door in the Pupil members for support, then questioned whether the Fiona who had been annihilated was truly Star's Destiny bearer.
• Star confirmed she had taken Fiona herself from the Academy, and Lord Gray Mist decided to counterattack with Star and Night Knight.
• Anvis detonated an improved Magic Nuclear Weapon to destroy the Underground Base and erase his traces, then escaped through a scrambled dream passage with a box of loot.
• Star used her Domain to suppress the underground explosion, but Anvis escaped and Lord Gray Mist's group lost his trail.

After the explosion at Gray Mist’s base stirred fear of the Circle of Truth, Anvis reached Malamoss City in disguise and followed his prophecy toward a gathering vortex of fate. The trail led him into the city’s slum, where he continued toward the source of the coming tide.

• The Itel Federation Parliament intensified its searches for the Circle of Truth after suspected members were linked to the attack, driving Gray Forces underground and raising smuggled-goods prices.
• Anvis concealed his identity and arrived in Malamoss City, the capital of the Morn Kingdom.
• Anvis bought newspapers and reviewed recent Federation news while considering plans for his newly gained free time.
• Anvis followed a prophecy and the Web of Fate’s guidance toward a vortex gathering above the city.
• Anvis entered Malamoss City’s slum and continued in the direction indicated by fate.

Anvis found the fate-blessed youth Landon in the slums and secretly marked him for observation. Landon returned to his home and shared a meager meal with his ill sister Lia, but the two thugs who had chased him burst in before they could eat.

• Anvis spotted Landon fleeing two thugs with a bag of black bread and marked him with his Spiritual Power.
• Landon escaped his pursuers and made his way to the shed where he lived with his sister, Lia.
• Landon reassured Lia that he would find a priest to cure her Crystallization Disease, then hid his earnings and prayed to the God of the North Wind.
• Landon and Lia prepared a thin meal of softened black bread, but the two thugs kicked down their door and confronted them.

Anvis intervened as Landon and Lia were threatened by two thugs, preventing Landon from awakening his hidden power and taking the attackers away. He could not cure Lia’s Crystallization Disease, but invited the siblings to visit his future Alchemy Shop so he could study her illness.

• Two thugs found Landon and Lia’s shack after Butuo revealed their location, then beat Landon and threatened Lia.
• Anvis noticed the Amulet react to Landon’s blood and stopped the thugs before Landon could awaken his Golden Finger.
• Anvis healed Landon and Butuo, then carried the two thugs away with his Spiritual Power.
• Landon begged Anvis to cure Lia’s Crystallization Disease, offering his savings and service in return.
• Anvis said he had no cure but invited Landon to bring Lia to Calendula Street Number Fourteen, where he planned to open an Alchemy Shop.
• After leaving, Anvis sensed that Fate Feedback had increased by more than ten units.

Anvis reflected on detonating the Eternal Core and seized control of Landon’s fate by replacing the Star Gazer’s protections with his own. He settled in the city to influence the Landon siblings and prepare a campaign against the Door in the Pupil, while concluding that naturally occurring Children of Destiny were far more valuable than engineered ones.

• Anvis recalled Landon’s future rise and erased the Star Gazer’s contingencies on him, replacing them with his own.
• Anvis bought a house at Calendula Street Number Fourteen as a base for watching and influencing the Landon siblings.
• Anvis arranged for the Mysteries Society to oppose the Door in the Pupil, while Silver Blue Esports Club planned to move most of its members to the latter faction.
• Anvis decided to stir up the Itel Federation against the Door in the Pupil, which he believed had backed forces opposing the Olyvendi Family in his previous life.
• Anvis concluded that manipulating ordinary people into becoming Children of Destiny was too slow and costly compared with finding naturally occurring ones.

Anvis established an alchemy shop in Malamoss City, took in Landon and Lia, and studied Lia’s illness and suppressed bloodline. The discovery of mysterious ruins outside the city drew Landon’s attention, especially because only those below formal Professional rank could enter.

• Anvis opened an alchemy shop at 14 Marigold Avenue and earned a reputation after turning troublesome mercenaries into Luo Luo Beasts.
• Landon brought Lia to Anvis for treatment, and Anvis let the siblings stay with him while Landon helped run the shop.
• Anvis treated Lia’s Crystallization Disease and collected samples to investigate the toxin suppressing her bloodline.
• After about half a month, Lia’s crystals had begun shrinking, while Anvis expected a future encounter to awaken her bloodline and remove the toxin.
• Landon returned to the shop with news that Ancient Mysterious Ruins had appeared outside Malamoss City and could only be entered by those below formal Professional rank.
