  1. I almost forgot the thrill of the interactions between Bjorn And Auril Gavis.

  2. Was the screaming witch Bjorn fought in the past part of Orcules?

    I wonder if butterfly would be her? They both were kind of playful when we saw the witch on the battlefield

        She was the one that was in the fight with Clown and the Lighthouse Keeper against team Bjorn. Bjorn walked up against all of them and curb stopped them around and eventually killed the Lighthouse keeper

  3. I'm worried the author is putting too much on the shoulders of AG. It's like making the Night King responsible for most of the political schemes in game of thrones as well. I want to see some limits to his knowledge and influence soon or he'll turn boring fast.

    With him being able to live so long, it won't be a surprise if he was also part of the great sage's party back then our even the sage himself. He's the reason the basement floor was discovered so was he trying to get his homie out the whole time?

    1. Plot twist: Auril Gavis is the author himself. He broke the 4th wall a long time ago.

  4. I think it would be interesting if Queen was legitimately the queen or at the very least crowned princess. A noble that hasnโ€™t entered the dungeon. Knows the first hand information about the kings health and the GMs right hand.

    Havenโ€™t seen Orcules name dropped in a long time. She definitely has relations with baek hoe.

    Interesting to learn wolf is a clan leader. Dwarfs maybe. There goes my guess about him being a leader in Orcules.

    Canโ€™t remember what zone 7 was again. Wish they would retouch on zones before just dropping information like that. Like if Bjorn would think in his head to remind us what that zone in particular was.

    Curious to see who will win.

    1. District 7 is part of Ravigion (along with 8 – 13) where most of the population lives. I donโ€™t recall much else about it, aside from Bjornโ€™s travels through there

    2. it is curious that the Queen has not tried to find any way into the Labyrinth at all, but given that shes a noble, and we know the GM has connections to the royals, is it possible that Queen is his insider person who has kept up his safe relation with the royals? If she is the Princess, or the Queen Consort, or some high up position, then it would explain why she was able to keep the GM safe, even as he was known to be among the nobles and running the community. Hell. technically, isnt it possible that Queen isnt even in a womanโ€™s body? up to now, all the evil spirits have gone into a body that matches their original gender, but i mean, whose to say its not a possibility that evil spirits could swap genders when they transfer over. So its not impossible that Queen is a Prince, or some other position also, though i do think its much less likely than Princess

      1. i was thinking that but wouldnt the clown and her know each other they seemed pretty distant from each other maybe a act

        1. I honestly don't think that the clown got any friends or whatever haha. Maybe butterfly was hiding the fact she is a evil spirit as well or Orcules is divided into different smaller groups and they are not that close

          1. What clown really needed was a friend, for real. If he didnโ€™t contribute to the death of Erwin's sister, Bjorn might have answered him differentlyโ€ฆ maybeโ€ฆ

          2. Nah, he needs to grow up. He's the kind of kid that was bullied and could only feel liberated through gaming. And he clearly feels this is a game. Revealing his identity makes it feel โ€˜realโ€™ for him, and I bet he just won't be able to face himself with all the shit he has done here.

    3. Iโ€™d imagine so. Each of them are supposed to be able to hold their own.Fun fact, orcules is ancient for โ€œthe witches eyesโ€ and their goal is to kill the king. Iโ€™m fresh from rereading the blast to the past arc, so iโ€™m lored up! Lol

  6. Versil not even knowing that the person who helped her remove her own mask is the one she now advocates to remove his own is really great. Also Gavis is a bitch for this quiz haha, i figured this was gonna majorly mess with whoever doesnt get sent home somehow but didnt expect this

    1. Thatโ€™s some real poetry ehโ€ฆAnd lol yeah, I figured this game would be some shenanigans – like jigsaw from saw asking โ€œdo you want to play a game?โ€ But this is just plain dirty of this old man. Sadistic, and Iโ€™m sure he takes full pleasure in thisโ€ฆ

      1. the best part is, as much as Versil Does think Bjorn has removed his mask, she doesnt even realize how much he still keeps hidden, from everyone, even his closest comrades, even those he knows he can trust, he still keeps secrets from, he wears masks, and as much as they ARE his comrades, his truest comrades, those who he can and will fight with his life on the line for. Can we truly call most of them friends? Amelia is the one closest to a friend to Bjorn I think, knowing the most about him, knowing more of his secrets than most, and being a confidant for him, and willing to let him take his time sharing things. But Does he truly consider Amelia a friend? or a comrade? As much as Versil wasnt speaking to Bjorn in that moment, She was speaking to him. She was telling him what he needs to hear. That he needs to open up to his comrades, and become true friends beyond just the clan and comradery.

        1. I think youโ€™re bang on, he truly does cherish his comrades, but he doesnโ€™t trust them enough to be fully open. He doesnโ€™t know if any of them will turn on him if they learn the truth, and itโ€™s easier this way for him. Hansoo lived a life out of his control and found solace in a tortuous game that, aside from frustration and challenges, gave him control over the factors that affected his character. Heโ€™s not going to easily give up that control, I donโ€™t even think heโ€™s fully aware of it himself. I also think itโ€™s leaps and bounds in character development for him to open up to Amelia as much as he has, even more than he ever did with Hyun-byeol in real life. I also hope heโ€™s able to have a real moment with Misha after though too, the stage is set for that, after his round table reflections.Side thought: what if auril gavis is really a benevolent person โ€œplaying the villainโ€, but the whole game is really just a crazy therapy session for those who dive deep enough into the game? And for those that graduate, they get sent home with life lessons learned? Iโ€™m sure this is way off, but is a fun line of thinking.

          2. Lol yeah, I have a bit of an obsession with this novel, so I go back and read old arcs ever so often. Iโ€™m also on the fence regarding building a proper wiki for this, so on days where iโ€™m for it, I keep a record of details

          3. i feel that, ive been rereading sections as well haha, theres alot of info thats there that we didnt have context for at the time but do now, so it can open new potential lines of thought to go and check

      2. District 7 – 13 is Ravigion, where most explorers and normies live. Bjorn used to live there too before becoming a proper noble

    2. We all love a good character development. Fox just did a 180 when she almost died.And now she's helping Bjorn develop himself too. I bet his ex wont recognize him at all after he's done with all his character growth.
