Chapter 3: Magician & High Priest first experience at Tarot Club Gathering

       After the Saturday night of recruiting another member to the Tarot Club, Klein spent the remaining day and hours before the Tarot Club gathering on various things.

He went to the Harvest Church to meet bishop Utravsky and help him solve the problem of killing his former violent self for the Apothecary Formula in the dream world. As a result of helping the reformed pirate turned priest, he was rewarded with a Master Key.

An object capable of opening any lock that doesn't have mystical powers and a small number of things that were augmented with Beyonder properties. In any place that doesn't have any locks or doors, it can open a passageway that doesn't belong to reality. As for the side effects of the item, the user would get lost randomly.

After helping the Harvest Church bishop solve the problem, Klein continued exchanging information with Detective Stuart regarding the case and also heard information about the National Atmospheric Illusion Council.

Monday morning, Klein has simply spent his time at his lodging resting and eating. Waiting for Detective Stuart's reply regarding the case and the Tarot Club Gathering.

3 minutes before 3 p.m., Klein went to the gray fog. Sitting on his chair, Klein tapped the two new crimson stars in the gray fog.

A woman with brown hair and a young man with golden hair appeared.

It was the newest member of his Tarot Club. Miss Magician and High Priest.

Miss Magician whom Miss Justice has recommended to be inducted into the Tarot Club. A Sequence 9 Beyonder who has nearly lost her control because Mr Door's ravings.

Klein moves his gaze from Miss Magician and towards High Priest.

As for the other person, a young man whom Klein suspected came from a place that was farther than the City of Silver. Farther than the Forsaken Land of the Gods.

A young man who seeks to revive his dead parents and sister. A person who came place from a mysterious city that has the Korean Language as their common language. Which Klein suspected had to do with a transmigrator who influenced that mysterious city.

A young man whose life stems from tragedy because of the mistake that he made. Ignorant and cowardly. A young man who was on the brink of a precipice and had an unspeakable amount of self-hatred towards himself. Even the young man is unaware of it.

A once ignorant and sheltered young man who lives in a village. Befriending a sick lunatic who was part of a cult and a mysterious young man.

The latter despite Klein not being given the name of that mysterious young man, Klein has heard enough things about the High Priest's mysterious friend.

High Priest has described his mysterious friend a lot. Waxing poetic and holding high regard. Klein doesn't know what face should he make at that time when the High Priest describes his friend while the young man's voice is filled with respect and admiration.

From a not-so-serious perspective, as a 21st-century man who has watched a lot of media and is a keyboard warrior, High Priest is very interesting. He has two strange people who hold a high interest in him.

The former friend cult member was obsessed with Mr. High Priest in a sick and twisted way. The other is the mysterious friend whom Klein wasn't even sure was a human. Who appears to know a lot of things regarding Mr. High Priest, his thoughts, his feelings, etc.

Klein suspects that this mysterious friend is doing a lot of watching towards Mr. High Priest. Perhaps, the mysterious young man is a Beyonder of Monster or Fool pathway.
