Synopsis
After reading the LotM webnovel, then watching the recent donghua, I've realised that Lord of Mysteries and Good Pacing will never be friends. Novel? Too slow! Donghua? Way to fast! So I decided, why not make my own version, not any of your usual "definitive way to watch/read blah blah blah," but just a fun project, one that aims to make Lord of Mysteries a true gem by fixing its pacing. __________________________________________________________ With the rising tide of steam power and machinery, who can come close to being a "Beyonder?" Shrouded in the fog of history and darkness, who or what is the lurking evil that murmurs into our ears? Waking up to be faced with a string of mysteries, Zhou Mingrui finds himself reincarnated as Klein Moretti in an alternate Victorian-era world — a world bristling with cannons, dreadnoughts, airships and difference machines, alongside Potions, Divination, Hexes, Tarot Cards, and Sealed Artifacts. The Light continues to shine, but mystery never strays far. As Klein becomes entangled with the world’s churches— both orthodox and unorthodox, he slowly develops strange and powerful abilities via the “Beyonder” potions. Like the tarot card “The Fool” number 0, symbolizing infinite potential— this is the legend of “The Fool.”

Chapter 1 - Prologue: Tarot's Hymn

This world is illusory.

Chaos is constant.

The creator bestows blessings, hallowed with corruption, with filth... with darkness.

Feeble defiance writhes, and ends in a futile, faint struggle, never to awaken.

Bearing the weight of blasphemy, the shepherd reverently crawls with pious devotion.

"I shall offer all the sacrificial lambs, for the welcoming... of your divinity!"

...

"It was a happy smile, an exaggerated smile, a ridiculous smile."

A room beneath the rising sun, where cards are played... but never won.

Eyes of fate meet a silent gaze, secrets shared... in The Fool's embrace.

A silver bell, a distant chime, the scent of fate entwined with time.

Whispers echo where shadows lie, a circle drawn beneath the sky.

...

In The Fool's domain, his 'anchors' dance, threads of fate in phantom hands.

'They' rise and fall beneath his grace, tarot's hymn—a twisted space.

...

'The Magician' speaks in veiled tones, lies wrapped in silk that cuts like stone.

'High Priestess' dreams beyond the veil, her silent watch keeps secrets pale.

'The Hanged Man' dangles without fear, bound in faith, yet drawing near.

Death reborn, a cycle true, while lovers part beneath the moon...

"Amidst the beautiful dance, Daly leaned forward gently, resting herself in Dunn's embrace."

...

The bell tolls once, then fades away, The Fool will rise another day...

"From the beginning, you've been a guardian. You mimicked others until you were mimicked by others."
