Klein

Biodata

Power Progression

The supplied chapters show Klein’s early Seer stage and reference his later godhood, without documenting the intervening advancements.

By his Cathedral review, Klein’s potion control exceeds that of many experienced Beyonders. Crestet confirms that his contributions qualify him to apply for the next Sequence’s potion, but no further potion consumption is shown through Chapter 50 49 50.

Background / History

Zhou Mingrui and the Moretti Family

Before arriving in this world, Zhou Mingrui had a harmonious family life and a promising future, despite the possibility of losing his job. He now lives as Klein Moretti and hopes to return home. Although he understands his experience as transmigration, the narrative distinguishes him as a Remnant of the Great Old One, unlike Nimrod, who genuinely comes from another universe 15 17.

The original Klein Moretti had lived frugally through university. His education depended on his father’s death pension and Benson’s wages. Zhou recognizes that Klein’s suicide on the eve of a job interview would have devastated Benson and Melissa had he not arrived 20.

After joining the Church of Evernight, Klein gains a steady income and begins learning mysticism under Old Neil. He joins Tingen’s Divination Club to act as a Seer and potentially earn divination fees 10 12 13 18.

Meeting Nimrod

Klein first notices Nimrod at the Divination Club when Hanass Vincent becomes visibly frightened by his arrival. His attempt to divine Nimrod’s background fails, while dream divination reveals that Nimrod is already outside his room 13 14.

During their meeting, Klein performs a tarot reading that produces two Devil cards despite the deck containing no duplicates. Nimrod subsequently identifies himself as a fellow countryman, invoking Earth’s white moon and Chinese poetry. Klein suppresses his excitement until they can meet privately at a coffeehouse 15 16.

Klein accepts Nimrod’s proposal to cooperate in finding a way home. However, Nimrod’s admission that he belongs to the Aurora Order alarms him. Nimrod then warns that someone is watching them and that the Order is preparing a ritual to bring the True Creator into Tingen at the cost of the city’s inhabitants 17 18 19.

Reporting the Threat

After divining above the gray fog that reporting Nimrod would benefit him, Klein informs Dunn Smith. He conceals his transmigrator identity, carefully describing Nimrod as an acquaintance from “the place where I used to live” rather than inventing a school connection that Church investigators could disprove 20 21.

Dunn treats Nimrod as dangerous, arranges secret surveillance and protection for Klein, and requests reinforcements. Klein nevertheless proposes using Nimrod’s information network to help capture Tris, arguing that his own family could be endangered by the fugitive 22 45.

The Antigonus Notebook Operation

Klein accompanies the Nighthawks to Ray Bieber’s hideout to recover the Antigonus Family Notebook. During the battle, the damaged container of Sealed Artifact 2-049 exposes him to its control. He escapes by sending his spirit above the gray fog, checks whether returning is safe, and descends back into his body 46.

Nimrod intervenes, kills the Tuxedo Clown with 2-049, and takes the artifact. Seeing Nimrod place it into gray fog reveals that his fellow countryman has concealed part of his own connection to Sefirah Castle. When Nimrod approaches Leonard, Klein immediately reminds him that the Nighthawks are his colleagues 47.

Cathedral Review and Appointment

Crestet Cesimir examines Klein for corruption and finds none. He also praises Klein’s unusually strong potion control. Klein explains his progress through Daly’s example and a maxim taught by Old Neil, avoiding disclosure that he learned the Acting Method from Roselle’s diary 49.

The Cathedral exceptionally appoints him a Full Member of the Nighthawks and orders him to deepen contact with Mr. L to discover what is happening inside the Aurora Order. Klein swears an oath before the Goddess’s Sword, experiences the Evernight Goddess’s gaze, and is enveloped in faint crimson moonlight 49 50.

Dunn’s team is then assigned to use Klein’s connection to prevent the True Creator’s descent. Klein must be assessed after every exchange with Mr. L, while Daly, newly transferred back to Tingen, offers to resume his systematic mysticism instruction 50.

Later Timeline

As the Fool, Klein seals an Outer Deity’s Angel inside Lumian Lee; the combined influence of several powers produces the special region around Cordu’s corrupted ruins. His release of the Remnants of the Great Old One also triggers the Celestial Worthy’s contingency, awakening that being’s will within Nimrod 3 32.

In this later period, the Fool is no longer solely Klein: part of him belongs to the Celestial Worthy. Nimrod’s interference displaces that will into his own spirit body, but fate continues pushing the Celestial Worthy’s assimilation with Klein back into place 5 32.

Personality

Klein is cautious even when emotionally invested. Before letting Nimrod into his room, he checks whether he can escape through the second-floor window. He also refuses to reveal his transmigrator identity merely because Nimrod hints at shared origins, waiting for evidence tied to Earth 15 16.

His longing for home makes meeting a fellow countryman especially meaningful. Around Nimrod, his manner becomes more like Zhou Mingrui’s, and he welcomes a frank discussion of their potentially conflicting hopes of returning. That trust does not stop him from consulting divination and reporting the encounter to Dunn 17 20.

Klein feels responsible for his family and colleagues. He presses for action against Tris because Benson and Melissa live in Tingen, and he intervenes when Nimrod’s attention turns threateningly toward Leonard. Beneath his composed public manner, he frequently responds to danger, embarrassment, and Church procedures with irreverent internal commentary 45 47 49.

Abilities & Skills

Seer Divination

Klein uses several methods to investigate people, assess risks, and interpret possible outcomes 14 15 20.

• Pendulum divination: Determines that reporting Nimrod to Dunn should produce a favorable outcome 20.
• Dream divination: Locates Nimrod outside his room after failing to divine his background 14.
• Tarot reading: Performs a past–present–future spread for Nimrod 15.
• Limits: Nimrod’s origins remain beyond his divination; the Celestial Worthy states that even Sefirah Castle would not compensate for Klein’s insufficient standing 15.

Sefirah Castle and the Gray Fog

Klein controls Sefirah Castle during the early Tingen storyline and uses it as the setting for Tarot Club meetings 13 24.

• Ritual access: Enters the space through four counterclockwise steps and a four-line invocation 24 46.
• Enhanced divination: Can use the gray fog to strengthen divination 14.
• Escape from control: Sends his spirit above the gray fog to break free of 2-049 46.
• Honorific connection: Devises a three-part honorific name for the Fool and instructs a Tarot Club member to perform a ritual using it 24.
• Early limitation: Nimrod attributes the short duration of an early meeting partly to Klein’s limited spirituality 25.

Acting Method and Diary Interpretation

Klein understands the Acting Method through Roselle’s diary and applies it by practicing as a diviner 13 49.

• Explains acting to Tarot Club members and requests Antigonus Family information as payment 23.
• Reads Roselle’s diary entries during meetings 23.
• Progresses rapidly in potion digestion while keeping the diary’s role in his discovery secret from the Church 49 50.

• Seals an Outer Deity’s Angel within Lumian Lee 3.
• Releases the Remnants of the Great Old One from Sefirah Castle onto Earth 32.
• His name is described as dangerous knowledge for people in Lumian and Aurore’s circumstances; Nimrod warns that understanding it could cause immediate corruption 30.
