This shall be a useful tool to see my plublic image and who i shall keep an eye on in the forseeable future.

It suffices. I would not give myself the title of a virtuous, just man, but in truth, my goal is to change the world and punish cruelty caused by the powerful, perhaps you can call it a just cause.

This is my recounting of the tale that not only led me to remove that loathesome curse laid upon me, but showed me a whole new world unlike any other.

This may be a tough read for most, so allow me to summarize the events of this novel right here;

In search of a way to dispell a curse put on me by hod, i searched and found an exorcist, she utilized her powers to remove the curse through her innate ability of wielding a magical power called NEN, however, as consequence, a creature called NEN SPIRIT BEAST was attached to my soul, and if i do not manage to find a relic called "the seed urn", this beast will sap my strenght and subsequently take the exorcist's life. To achieve my goal, she forcefully activated my own NEN, since there is no other way to achieve the use of nen without a previous nen user, and taught me how to wield it. Through the use of the new power i aquired, i found a passage within the Limbo pathways, which lead me into a layer impossible to reach to anyone whom lacks the powers of NEN, through the door, i met a guardian of that same layer, who made me agree to two vows before allowing me entrance, after i had accepted it's terms, i was summoned within a ship called the BLACK WHALE 1, where my journey for the seed urn would begin.

((This is currently just a Raymond specific thing, i kinda want to make it something bigger later but rn everyone's involved in 30 different arcs, so i'll just intruduce things with raymond before this grows into something else)

Now that all is over, i see no use in this weapon, it's cold, frigid touch to my skin, and the corrupting power within it shall no longer follow my soul.

I was a fool to let it overtake so much of my body, a grim fate i barely escaped from, this power isn't needed, i will find a way to achieve my goal without it, for that is the path man, the one that i wish to follow.

I have hidden it in an undisclosed layer, sealed it with a thousand curses, may it stay there and turn to dust by the constant will of time.

Do not seek this power.

the armor slowly builds itself around him as he slashes away within the Cat's domain, cutting the space between the fights and the sure hit effect.

As long as i keep doing this, the sure hit effect will not reach my comrades...

GO FORTH, DESTROY THIS BEAST, THIS IS BUT A PEBBLE IN THE ROAD TO VICTORY!

I know where you are, to be such a nuisance at the world's twilight proves that you have no sense left in that mind of yours, i am here to execute you.

This is a message to all those that still have some strenght in their bodies, the world is covered in darkness, if this is how it ends, so be it.

Let's make one final push against this eternal darkness, to fight against the overwhelming odds, if there is no world to save, then we shall avenge it.

Assemble all of those still left with air in their lungs, we shall rip and tear until either our enemy is slaughtered, or our flames die away in one final spark of glory, come with me, Let's end this.

BLACK KNIFE...

no matter the pain, the struggle, and how little i have left of my soul...

Give me everything.

I have given Teto the thorn ring, her wife's last memento.

I ask of you to pay no mind to my now corroded arm and ESPECIALLY not my expression, thank you.

I have been entrusted by the rats to take the ring and deliver it to Teto immediately.

I am almost outside the fallen wing's territory, although the cats are making it a struggle to get through.

It is likely this ring will cause major contributions to our side, it's importance cannot be understated.

While fighting more of the enemy forces with the BLACK KNIFE, i found out something worrying to say the least.

It was always quite straining to use the weapon for long periods of time, but it was a price i'd be willing to pay if it meant being able to stop the FRIENDs, now i know the cause of that strain.

Due to the constant fighting inside the fallen F corp to secure the ring with the rats, i may have pushed myself too far and the blade's powers manifested differently, this black, glass-like armor sprouted from my left arm, as if the weapon was connecting itself to my very own being.

I will still use the BLACK KNIFE, as it is necessary against the enemy force, but i will do so more carefully. If i have any words of advice, i reccomend the rats to be careful with their replicas, lest they be overtaken by it's power.

As per requested by the rats, i shall show this blade's true power so they can study to perhaps replicate it's effects to a lesser degree.

First things first, the blade deals 25% TRUE DAMAGE to all targets, wich means that in 4 attacks, it can kill anything, through great effort however, it can kill beings with a single slash, but that technique is inconsistent and unreliable.

Another ability i've known of is what i dubbed "The nike logo of doom", through concentrating all your being into a single slash, you can paralyze the world around you and SWOON them, i do not understand exactly the effect of a SWOON, but the way i see it, it eviscerates whatever it touches, so we might aswell say it is an instantaneous demise to whoever is in the recieving end of it. It may be similar to the attack mentioned in the previous paragraph, but this one is consistently good at any moment you wish to use it, although it takes time to utilize.

Lastly, this blade can cut space itself, in my brief fight against the CEO of the meat packing room, once the god in front of me decided to summon the entire sun, i cleverly cut the space around myself so none of the mass nor heat and other radioactive properties of the sun would affect me, at the moment, i bluffed at the moment, acting as if i had withstood the power of the sun itself, for it is always a good strategy to hide your hand, in any case, upon cutting the space, small fragments of it will fly in the direction of your slash.

Hopefully, this was an understandable explanation, i shall continue to aid the battling rats in F corp against the beasts of darkness surrounding us.

It seems i was teleported to the fallen F corp by that thing... Just as i was approaching the fountain.

I hope the others in the team manage to seal it in my stead, i do not know why exactly the beast wants me here, but i shall face it regardless.

Wish me good luck...

*The summon Raidjin falls by his swift blade*

So that was it, the puppet you summoned will no longer stop me, invoker. I would entertain you with a battle, but alas, i have a bigger problem to deal with.

*Raymond immediately takes the chance to run towards the fountain*

I am currently clashing against a summoned knight by the invoker, so i had no time to create a more pleasant looking graphic.

I will leave the BLACK KNIFE with the other team members so they can defend themselves against the beasts of darkness.

The third fountain of darkness can be seen, we are close to our destination, for all those who joined me, stay wary.

As you can see, we have company, keep your guard high, the sillouttes of the beasts can be seen from afar, so ready your weapons, for strife is inevitable.

Remember, do not let them bite you at all costs, secondly, either attack them until they can't keep their shape, or overwhelm them with light.

My last wish is for all of us to look for any and all irregularities around, we must find out what is creating this pouring darkness in the first place.

I ask to anyone reading this to not worry too much, i am in a more stable state at the moment and the illustration above was before i put the band aids.

As you might have seen in my previous message log, i encountered some kind of beast within the darkness, the same we call the "FRIENDS", i have spend the last 10 hours fighting these beasts off and have obtained some crucial knownledge.

First and foremost, these felines can eat light itself, i noticed that as my blades hit the ground and clashed with eachother, they would eat the sparks released as to vanquish any and all light anywhere, that most likely correlates directly to the blackout in the basement, although i highly doubt that this was the exact method used to rid the basement of it's light;

Secondly, they seem to be hurt by only a few methods, first is overwhelming them with light, too little however will cause them to eat the source, as said prior, another way is, surprisingly, the black knife i gained after Hod's anticlimatic death, the weapon seems to not only intimidate them, but manage to slash them rather effectively, i shall gather at a nearby corporation to study it further;

Lastly, these beasts can ignore any and all special advantages, or the so called "hax" can have, that with the limited options to fight these beings off, and they pose a greater threat than one would imagine.

I shall take a moment to rest and regain strenght before engaging against the roaming titans, good luck.

One of the basement gods is finally gone, my sworn enemy, Hod... Or so i think, that death was very suspicious to me, i shall look into it more later down the line.

Now that one of them was slain, or in better terms, took their own life, i will start being regarded as a threat by the others, i should expect to be hunted down by them. Not only that, but for all the evils commited by Hod and her recklessness, she was still a beloved figure, i won't be a welcome visit for most outside the rats, after my deal with them to provide the dead god's body as material, they have favored me a little more.

In truth, i have lived before in a city that wished me death at every breath i took, i am used to it, and sure that i will find a way to survive all the same here in the basement, so my duty shall continue, either the gods stop mistreating the people with the use of their powers, or i shall challenge them one day.

Although, at current time, we all seem to have a bigger problem to deal with... All light has vanished, like an eternal eclipse, such event must have affected my Shin (心) and Mang (望), together with my E.G.O aswell, it is a good thing that i have my reliable old weapons still, together with the black knife i obtained from Hod, my lost powers won't be missed too much yet.

I will be investigating why this has happened, if there's a culprit, i'll end them quickly enough.

Now, what are these darned cat noises anyways-
