[Everyday-life focus + angst]
Since the story of Amphoreus hasn’t been finished yet, there will be a lot of original content early on. If that bothers you, feel free not to read.
The author isn’t sure whether there will be any OOC.

"A Soliloquy Engraved in the Depths of the Tree Court"
“I am Itailokis Xavier Caterpilla Neel, one of the first seven sages of the Tree Court. The ‘traitor’ of the Tree Court.”
“First, address me by my full name when you speak to me.”
“Second, don’t come looking for me unless you have a reason. I’m not like the others. I’m busy breathing.”
“Third, I hold everyone in equal contempt, so don’t think I’m singling you out.”
“From this day onward, I resign from my position as one of the seven sages and betray the Tree Court.”
“I engrave my soliloquy here and bury everything I have learned in my lifetime.”
“I have no intention of showing others the way. But if someone manages to find my collection, then fate must have brought them here.”
“Whatever happens, during my thousand-year journey, I will meet foolish people, ridiculous people. But I will reach the pinnacle of alchemy, and I will uncover the truth of this world…”
“Setting alight the so-called dark tide of heaven and earth.”
“My words end here. From this moment on, I set out to steal the kindling of ‘reason.’”
“I, Itailokis, will not fall in this foolish world.”
“One day, I will reveal the truth of the world.”
“The work is complete. I have nothing more to say.”
Isn't this almost a repeat of what happened in Kesha?
The ingredients are complex. The rose with eyes in Chapter 22 is obviously describing the appearance of the four hundred roses in WAW-05. The dark mask in Chapter 26 automatically associates with Roland's cognitive impairment mask.
