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

Was he aiming for a quick victory or trying to buy time?


Sergei quickly calculated in his mind and, in the end, decided to stick to his original idea, to respond to changes with constancy, just as Motan had anticipated.


He could afford to spend this bit of time. If the other party was just bluffing, then all he had to do was wait for the duration of that secret technique to end, and he could then kill or capture his opponent without bloodshed. And if this person truly became stronger over time, there was no reason for him to not sense it. He would just charge straight in and launch a fierce attack. Either way, he would suffer no loss.


And this was exactly what Motan wanted to see.


Although he did not understand Sergei, his insight was incredibly sharp. He had analyzed Sergei's character quite accurately, which is why he chose to use this simple and practical language trap to respond.
