The truth of it all

A single room in an apartment building in the East Borough.

On the desk by the window, Dark Gold books turned their pages on their own when no one was around, the Gas Lamp illuminating the words outlined in blood.

"Altair isn't a fool who can't think."

"On the contrary, he was a wise man, possessing a genuine history degree from the Backlund University, and had read a vast number of books."

"As Emperor Roselle said, history is a Mirrors. Altair thinks he is right, but not comprehensive enough. A thoughtful person can glean what he needs even from popular literature or trivial matters, let alone when his Mirrors is his own personal experience."

After several failures, Altair began to reflect on himself.

"For a ' Literature Lover ' to bring fantasy into reality, a number of prerequisites are needed. Altair believes that perhaps he hasn't done enough in this regard, which is why the Little Pickpocket repeatedly escapes the dictates of fate. Therefore, he decides to face his Error and get things back on track."

"Altair decided to gather enough intelligence and, by utilizing those around Lorry, tailor a more reasonable plan."

"This wasn't difficult for him, given his past as a 'journalist'."

"After a period of investigation, Altair decided to target Miles, the target's neighbor, friend, and industry mentor."

"Actually, Altair had a better option."

"The well-known author Fors is suspected of having a relationship with the target that goes beyond friendship, and she also has a simple-minded Bounty Hunter roommate."

"Comparatively, they can exert a greater degree of influence on their targets."

"But unfortunately, Altair received instructions from the God that they had been under the watchful gaze of another great being."

"For reasons unknown to Altair, the Lord of Dimensions did not want his Believer to provoke this great being unnecessarily."

"As His devout Believer, Altair naturally chose to obey, and thus selected Miles as the target of his influence."

"The previous defeat did not dampen Altair's fighting spirit. Through careful planning, he made Miles unexpectedly learn the Honorific Name of the Lord of Dimensions."

"From then on, Altair had one more helper, and the God had one more Believer."

"Unfortunately, due to an accident during the process of receiving the gift, Miles's mind was corrupted, and he was unable to maintain his original nature like Altair."

"Yes, it's a coincidence, and it has nothing to do with Altair."

Unable to maintain his true self, Miles founded the "Fantasy Society," and as Archbishop, began to recruit more Believer, intending to create an unprecedented Sacrificial Ritual in Backlund to please the God, obtain more of His blessings, and possess greater power.

"This coincided with Altair's thoughts, so he decided to offer the other party some small assistance, such as money or intellect."

"The growth of the Fantasy Society has exceeded everyone's expectations!"

"Thanks to the fools on the golden throne! With just a tiny bit of food, they can convert the faith of those who are starving!"

Miles has decided to take action on November 16th.

"This was his own arrangement; it has absolutely nothing to do with Altair."

"After all, the latter was merely a generous benefactor; how could he possibly arrange for his own colleague, another Believer in the God?"

Altair didn't participate in Miles's plan, not because he was afraid of failure, but because he believed Miles Fantasy Society.

"A sense of propriety... Yes, Altair is a very tactful person."

"Thanks to Emperor Roselle, for creating so many vivid words, making an indelible contribution to the development of literature."

But Altair is a man who doesn't lie.

He didn't think much of Miles's plan, finding it too crude and only fit to be used to light a fireplace or thrown in the trash.

"Altair thought this made perfect sense, after all, the other party was just a second-rate writer, and hadn't received many favors, barely qualifying as a ' Painter '."

"As everyone knows, a ' Painter ' only knows how to scribble; what does he know about literature?"

"A true ' Literature Lover,' Altair, was so bored that he decided to help his colleague with some well-intentioned deductions."

"Here is Miles's ridiculously clumsy arrangement:"

"Shaman who has received this blessing chooses the location to act before the action begins and sets up a totem, turning it into their own territory."

"On the day of the operation, the ' Deputy Bishop ' will conduct a small blessing ceremony, granting ordinary Believer superhuman fighting abilities."

"Led by Shaman, they led their Believer to seize territory."

"The ' Deputy Bishop, ' who have received two grants, are responsible for their respective areas, and their 'reporter' skills serve as a mobile force to assist the ' Shaman ' under their command."

The "Archbishop" oversees the entire situation, awaiting the fruits of victory.

"Throughout the process, as long as enough chaos is created, the dead will become part of the ritual, regardless of which side they belong to."

"This is beyond doubt, because the ' Shaman's ' establishment of territory is, to some extent, part of the ritual, allowing the God to receive His offerings."

But Miles seems to have overlooked a very important issue.

"Backlund, as the capital of the Loen Kingdom, has a Military force responsible for extraordinary events, as well as followers of the three false gods: Evernight, Storm, and Steam."

He naturally assumed that as long as the plan was not revealed to Believer had not received God favor before the operation began, Secrecy could be maintained.

Altair thought he was too naive!

"The false gods' Believer and the Military's Hyena possess both sufficient interrogation techniques and a large number of Informant and channels for obtaining information."

How could Miles overlook that? He was so careless!

"For a specific reason that Altair is unaware of, the false god's Believer and the Military Hyena happened to know the Truth and made ample preparations in advance."

He was certain that Miles ' plan would end in failure!

"Miles was unaware that his generous colleague Altair had already purchased a fine burial plot for himself and had his Epitaph carved in advance:"

"His death was heroic enough."

"It's perfectly reasonable that Miles didn't know this, because it's a surprise."

"Altair, as a ' Literature Lover,' wrote Epitaph that was equally philosophical, because it happened to coincide with everything that had happened in reality."

"Although the grand operation of Plan Miles ended in failure, it successfully captured everyone's attention, and his death can truly be described as heroic!"

"But is that the Truth? Altair was merely a Record and observer from beginning to end, which doesn't seem to align with his original intentions."
