Micro-leaf Paulownia

Battling an unusual form of personality dissociation, Motan admits to feeling the weight of immense pressure bearing down on him. Amidst this turmoil, he finds solace in a virtual escape called "The Realm of Innocence," a game that has become his sanctuary from stress.

In the realm where ambiguity reigns, Motan's behavior is unpredictable and impetuous, making him the instigator and mastermind behind myriad events that spiral out of control. Yet, within the sphere of virtue, his resilience and courage shine through, earning him the admiration of many who see him as the epitome of a righteous knight and a fair judge.

When dwelling in the balance of absolute neutrality, he adopts a demeanor of modesty and lethargy, mirroring the ordinary essence of every soul. Conversely, in the domain of chaotic evil, he transforms into a figure of madness and cruelty, embodying the very essence of a demon and deceiver, showing kindness only to himself.

"Tan Mo is the most extraordinary Bard I have ever encountered, though he is... perplexing, to say the least," comments Countess Leisha, reflecting on his complex nature.

"Mor is a man of distinguished integrity! Having met him just once, I am convinced that he is someone one can confidently turn their back to," declares Gwen, the leader of the Rose Rot, acknowledging his noble character.

"If you're in search of the ideal neighbor, look no further than Hei Fan," recommends Alchemist Luna, suggesting his suitability for companionship.

Yet, amidst these varied testimonies, a warning resonates, "Don't talk about that man!" indicating a mysterious, perhaps darker aspect of his persona that remains unexplored.

Four Split Personalities

On the southern end of the Anka market, a certain roadside stall


Ya Ya is enthusiastically munching on a piece of roasted meat of unknown origin, in between bites she slurs a muffled thank you to Jadka sitting beside her: "Gulp...Thanks! It's so good...Thank you."


"Thank you very much," Motan, holding a skewer of fried vegetables, smiles back at the old mage: "You've treated us to this meal."


The old man gave a hearty laugh and shook his head: "No problem, no problem. Being adventurers ain't easy these days, I heard about the trouble this half-beast girl caused. Those goblins value gold more than their lives, I bet they didn't give you a break."


"A friend of mine helped with the debt." Motan said honestly: "I am really penniless. As for Ya Ya, I only met her not long ago."
