  1. gramps saying baek ho has been working for his goal for nearly 20 years means bjorn has been in this world for close to 10 years. when beak ho was first introduced he said he was here for a little over 10 years (i think pls correct me if im wrong) and now its nearly 20. so bjorn should be pushing now. wow. i thought he was here for like 3-4 years max maybe 5 because of the 2 years in the fragment of records

    1. Time is funny in this world, do we count the months+ spent on the 9th floor waiting for it to close as a few days when we teleport back ti raphdonia or the months you spent on the 9th floor as months.If gramps is counting real time spent not adjusted time yeah baekho may have been here close to 20 years, I don't think the comparison to bjorns time is apples to apples as baekho would have been smashing the 9th floor and other stuff (compressing months of real time into days) before bjorn arrived / while bjorn was stuck before the 3rd floor.Edit: From memory i think it's 3 days first floor a week second floor, 2 weeks 3rd floor, a month 4th floor and it just keeps doubling.So every time they got to the 4th floor that's a month that turns into a day or however much time passes in raphdonia before the portal consolidates and kicks everyone out. Then wait another real month for it to re-open. If 2 people started at the same time, one cleared the first floor only and the other got carried to the 9th floor, the person on the first floor would have had days pass when they re-unite in raphdonia whereas the other would have had months pass.then ontop of this there's the raphdonia time to RL world time which is another multiplier, so it's gets easy fast fir their to be ludicrous differences of โ€œreal time spent" between people, different time they arrived, how deep they got in the labyrinth etc

      1. Yep, thats right (although its 7 days first floor, and 10 days 2nd floor. Dont remember 3 – 5, but 6 is 60 days and 7th is 75 days.)Imagine working on the higher floors and having months away from your fam, only for it to be only one day passed for them.I think Bjorn is here about 5-6 years. 1 pre-timeskip, 2 due to time travel, 1 in the basement, and 1+ doing real estate and being outside.

  2. Oh also, re: team-building, donโ€™t forget they also had Misha for a bit, who also only worked with Baek Ho for the Resurrection Stone, and would leave him for dead in a heartbeat if she could. This dude

  3. Lol at Bjorn realizing the level of disfunction he is teamed up with. Also part of me feels* partially vindicated about my suspicions of Bright, but itโ€™s also possible it could be a red herring for something elseโ€ฆ so I donโ€™t yet feel like I've earned Alex's hands

    Also lol at Bjorn taking the HR route – no fraternizing* in the workplace ๐Ÿ˜…

    Btw this chapter-arc is titled โ€œWolfโ€ – we already had Butterfly to chronicle some of Jayna's journey. Maybe we get to finally meet Wolf mask in the real world? I might be reaching (though might not be far of a reach tbh) but if this is the case, Wolf mask was a ride-or-die AG fan, so it connects some of the dots for me

    Edit: spelling errors

    Gramps deflected from the sus baekho line of inquiry.

  5. That was a wild ride. Forgot who was having the debate but kauri confirmed d-bag. He knew what he was planning. Long drawn out torment. Aures reacting to and blocking an emotionally unhinged baekho wild and I like this guy a bit more now. Heโ€™s just rolling shirtless with a shield surviving lol

    2. I'm actually more on his team now than ever. He didn't trick her into anything. She's a total bitch that sacrificed someone then only regretted it after when she didn't like how it made her feel. She literally doesn't regret the action only the consequence. She deserves worse than what she's going through right now. Seems like Karui only targets pieces of shit then mocks then when they get what they deserve. Total lack of accountability on her part.

      1. Karui set the price to save her team as the sacrifice of her memories of home, then to save that guy's life, he set the price as her memories of him. Later after she forgot who the guy was, Karui asked for his sacrifice, and then, no longer knowing his importance, she did. Sheโ€™s certainly not innocent, but I canโ€™t agree with you on this one homie. Karui played some 4D chess with her

        1. โ€œThere wasnโ€™t some grand reason. Karui asked for that person as a sacrifice. Promised me a new authority in exchange. Soโ€ฆ I killed them.โ€โ€œIt was a power that saved my life several times. Butโ€ฆ if I had known it would suffocate me like this, I never would haveโ€ฆ neverโ€ฆโ€These are her exact words and they support my claim. What I said is an accurate description of what happened. At least so far as how she described it. Blue you have a tendency of being lenient to those that try to avoid accountability but would you hold the same opinion in real life. If some random guy approached someone and offered them 1 million dollars to kill their children for instance, would you blame the guy that offered it more than the one that carries our the action? Do you think society or the law would? Would it be fine if the guy said he regretted it because he ended up not liking the money that much? Does it not imply that they'd be fine with the sacrifice as long as they appreciated the reward enough? This is a really weird position to have dude.

          1. I think this is another case of conversation disfunction, where I'm saying apples are sweet, and youโ€™re arguing that oranges are sweeter than apples. Each is independent of each other so well never reach common ground.In terms of who is to blame for the guys death? Thatโ€™s complex, but directly, Jaina can certainly be blamed since she sacrificed – i already said shes not innocent. In terms of Karui characterization? He def knows what heโ€™s doing and takes pleasure in the discomfort of others. Hope that clears the record

          2. Yea I'm taking blues side on this. No oneโ€™s saying sheโ€™s โ€œgoodโ€ but demons of lore cannonically get off on corrupting the uncorruptable, harming the un-harmable, violating innocence etc. Less we forget the requiremnt to become a priest/priestess of Kauri is being a holy priest/priestess. He specifically targets with the intent to harm those that โ€˜were once goodโ€™. (Not saying all priests are good obviously, please donโ€™t spark that un ending debate lmfao) but yes she and the evil God are now both evil, as the evil God intended

          3. I responded to Blue but it directly applies to your comment as well

          4. No i get what you're saying but maybe I'm not explaining what I'm saying clearly enough. My point is that none of these priests have been corrupted. They've always been selfish, pieces of shit. Karui is only providing them with an opportunity to expose it. That's it. Jayna has always been willing to kill someone for the right price, it's just that she was never able to get a reward that was worth it enough. This is self evidently true. Karui is just a medium that offers a reward that is worth it. She executes the transaction then regrets it afterwards when she realized the reward isn't good enough. โ€œButโ€ฆ if I had known it would suffocate me like this, I never would haveโ€ฆ neverโ€ฆโ€This is her admitting that she wouldn't have done it if she knew how it would make her feel. Not because it's wrong or because she thinks he didn't deserve it. She isn't remorseful about what she's done she regrets how she feels about it after. She's 100% to blame just like some crazy person can't blame a knife for stabbing someone.
