Title Meaning[]
In many esoteric systems of tarot card interpretation, the Fool is interpreted as the protagonist of a story, and the Major Arcana is the path the Fool takes through the great mysteries of life. This path is known traditionally in cartomancy as the "Fool's Journey".
As a title of final volume, it was a conclusion of Klein Moretti's journey and legend to becomes the Sequence 0: The Fool.
Synopsis[]
Having defeated Zaratul and ingested his Attendant of Mysteries. Klein managed to stabilize himself from The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth's influence after he advanced with the help of the remnant will of Zaratul inside his Beyonder Characteristics.
He met the Evernight Goddess in a dream, and learnt some truths about the past and how to accommodate the Uniqueness. In order to consolidate his mental state, Klein wandered around in various places where he could resonate with his humanity. Klein visited Audrey Hall to take care of his mental health and he destroyed the Garden of Eden as an act of revenge after Adam made a move against him.
Afterwards, Klein entered the Calderón City to obtain the water from the River of Eternal Darkness and handed it over to the Evernight Goddess. He learned the truth of the fall of The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth. Under the guidance of his spiritual intuition, he gave 5 gold coins which were corrupted by the Sefirah Castle's aura to Azik Eggers's Messenger, Reinette Tinekerr, Maric, Will Auceptin, and Pallez Zoroast to make arrangements for the possible future.
After making a lot of preparations, he went to the peak of the Hornacis Mountain Range. Klein began to accommodate the Uniqueness of the Fool Pathway.
Meanwhile Adam accessed the Chaos Sea to further enhance his Visionary ability, which allowed him to imagine the authorities of the Sun, Tyrant and White Tower. With that, Adam temporarily promoted himself to a half God Almighty. Adam suppressed the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom by locking them in their Divine Kingdoms. The Evernight Goddess, the Earth Mother, and the God of Steam and Machinery stopped Amon, the Primordial Demoness, and the Hidden Sage.
Eventually, Klein successfully promoted to Sequence 0 Fool. He returned to the Sefirah Castle. While he inspected his authority and power, he found that Amon had invaded the Sefirah Castle and had a fight with him. At the time of danger, Klein released the suppression of The Celestial Worthy's will inside him. He fell into a half-crazy state and took the initiative to start a crazy gamble.
Amon lost the Uniqueness of both the Error and Door pathways, as well as the corresponding Beyonder characteristics. He was then reborn in the clone kept by Adam. Following a brief conversation with Adam, Amon headed to the cosmos to avoid Klein and seek to better understand the meaning of humanity.
The forced convergence further increased the awakening of The Celestial Worthy's will, pushing Klein even closer towards losing control. Nevertheless, he managed to make his way to the Evernight Goddess' divine kingdom. There, the Evernight Goddess gave Klein a drop of water from the River of Eternal Darkness, temporarily suppressing the will of The Celestial Worthy.
Klein went to the Forsaken Land of the Gods to retrieved the lost Magic Mirror Arrodes, returned the Magic Wishing Lamp to Bernadette Gustav and gifted her an iron cigarette case which corrupted by Sefirah Castle's aura. Finally he met Will Auceptin to help him accommodating the Uniqueness. However, Will refused and said the next opportunity would be better.
Before Klein entered a state of slumber, he held a last-minute meeting and entrusted a long-term commission to all members of the Tarot Club. The main commissions are to spread the name of The Fool widely, spread the news of The World being the Blessed of The Fool, and record it in the Church's Holy Bible.
After the meeting, Klein released all humans in cocoons inside Sefirah Castle to the real world. Then he went into deep sleep together with Arrodes.
Ten years later, Melissa prayed to Mr. Fool with her niece. Klein's niece had a high-five with Mr. Fool's illusory tentacle.
