  1. Ofc the MC plays League of Losers instead of the Korean National Sport of Starcraft

    Regarding the gods bit, the king has collected alot of Karui stuff hasn't he? Possible the royals are just role-playing as gods to get additional tributes for whatever they're doing with it.

    If raphdonia is the kings realm, leaving it removes his controls and thus your duties?

  2. I think this chapter arc is called butterfly referencing butterfly effect.

    So either things continue to go really good or take a turn for the worse.

    Also an interesting theory I kicked up. Because he beat the game again while in the witches world I wonder if that counted as Bjorn fulfilling the prophecy on the stone tablet of beating the game. Either that or he already fulfilled it when he came to this world originally.

    Wish they had reference notes to old chapters that we could go back to re-reference.

  3. Very first sentence in the next chapter. โ€œWe're all gonna dieโ€ฆ.โ€

  4. Oy, this is a bad omen indeed.

    Btw, this arc is called Butterfly – it might have something to do with Butterfly Mask from the round table, who some of us suspect was Jayna. If so, it might be foreshadowing of some sort with her at the center.

    Interesting note about Karui going silent after leaving the cityโ€ฆ could it be possible that Karui is at the heart of the city, or that the city was paid for by some sort of sacrifice to Karui? Or maybe Karui is in the labyrinth, at the end of the gateโ€ฆ

    Btw #687 seige slaughtered seems less powerful than #87 Kraul's Demons Crusher, but maybe he just wants it as a back up? Must be something special about it

    1. We haven't been told specifically what it does, could have an active that covers up a weakness or combat gap he has since his only move is bonk, I mean swing.I don't see him dual wielding or hot swapping hammers mid fight thou, shield is too good

      1. Most likely, this, I agree. I was going off the number of the numbered items (generally more vsluable as the numbers get lower) and I think I recall him saying there was a single digit graduation hammer, but not everything is overt in the numbering, so you're right, there could be something special in this hammer that fills a gap.

    2. i mean, it could be interesting if its a Stat inversion weapon of some kind? like when in use, it changes defense to aggro, or Aggro to attack, or Defense to attack, or some other kind of stat shift, cause we know he can Generate Aggro alot with giant mode, so the ability to change that to attack could be a powerful weapon ability, and since aggro itself is useless outside the walls, it could also explain why its more viable beyond the walls, as the aggro has less use, so a conversion to attack would be valuable. Or the other possibility, change Defense to attack. Basically a Glass Cannon weapon for a tank. It wouldnโ€™t be that unusual of an item for a game with these kinds of stats and builds either. Theres always Glass cannon options, and a weapon that can turn a Tank into a situational Glass Cannon could be interesting. Plus Baek Hoo wanted to give it to Aures, who is their Tank, so if its a weapon that changes Tanks to Glass Cannons when swapped into use, it could explain that line from him further as well.

      1. That would be pretty neat tbh, and give tanks some versatility. Bjorn actually has an aggro-to-dmg item (the one he got off the dwarf in the doppleganger forest) and he has a sort-of glass-cannon build in combination with Erwin's dark mode (re. Ice Rock). Having something on his own though would be pretty sweat, especially since this is a numbered item

    3. All I can think of is its name, Seige slaughterer. Maybe it gains strength when fighting multiple enemies, and can be combined with the ear ring(forgot name).

    4. At this point it's just Bjorn being petty
