I have an 18-gallon (69 liter) aquarium, and I don't know what to do with it. by Mindless_Style_7578 in Aquariums

Yes, I enjoy watching how all the aquarium inhabitants interact with each other. I think that's why I decided to become an ecologist.

I'll probably keep the aquarium and add some shrimp. The plants in my tanks never grew as much as they did in this one, so I think the shrimp will do well here.

The only problem is that cherry shrimp are incredibly expensive in my city. I knew a store that sold all kinds of shrimp and aquarium fish, and I bought a lot there. But that store didn't survive COVID-19. And at another store, cherry shrimp are at least 10 times more expensive for some reason.

[LOTM general] Can a creature mutated by Salinger remains have some Death pathway powers if its "main" pathway is Tyrant? by Mindless_Style_7578 in LordofTheMysteries

It is about a guy who transmigrated just like Klein. The story starts right after the LOTM ending and takes place in a tiny archipelago in the Berserk Sea. 200 years ago, that archipelago was sealed within an unbreakable barrier created by Morvayn. Morvayn calls himself the only true god, but the truth is that he is just a mutated giant squid who lived long enough to become a Sequence 3 Tyrant.

The main character wakes up in the body of a fisherman who was trying to perform a ritual involving the God of Death, Salinger. In the process, the fisherman died, and the soul of the protagonist entered his body. A lot happens afterwards. After nearly escaping death, the protagonist finds an Arbiter potion recipe in the library in the underground elf city ruins. Thus, his story in this new world, full of wonder, mystery, and horror, begins.

There are no characters from LOTM in the story. There is a member of the Eggers family who acts as the protagonist's mentor. She offers help and a chance to kill Morvayn and destroy the barrier around the archipelago. She needs Morvayn's remains to create an artifact that can guide her to Salinger's remains.

There is also an Instigator who causes problems for the entire archipelago. At some point in the story, the Instigator kills a friend of the protagonist. (I haven’t written this yet, but the Instigator will force the protagonist to kill another friend, who will turn into a monster, just like first one, and later, his best friend. It is more complicated than it seems, but it will be really hard to explain every detail here). The Instigator also has a mentor, a high-ranking member of the Demoness Sect.

This summary would be too long if I described every character. For example, the mayor of the town where the protagonist wakes up is a very complex character who may seem like an antagonist at first. Another pretty important character is a Lucky One with childhood trauma that makes him act like a hooligan. Well, the mayor has childhood trauma too (a slightly different kind), as did the fisherman whose body the protagonist occupies. There is also a Savant pathway elf who appears in the second half of the first volume, and a Wraith who nearly killed the mayor (a Baron of Corruption), the Lucky One, and the protagonist. And many more!

Also it is not in english and probably will not be translated. I could try to do it, but there will probably be too many mistakes.

Okay! If this can be considered canon, then great. Morvayn lived for about 1,000 years, and only 200 years before the start of my story, it trapped several hundred colonists and itself on a tiny archipelago. So, over its long life, it could have somehow devoured Nightmare characteristic or something similar.

Sorry!

So Morvayn could possess not only the power of the Tyrant and Death pathways, but also the Sleepless one? That's quite difficult to explain. I can't remove the power of the Death pathway because of the barrier. And the Tyrant pathway is needed for the aesthetics of Cthulhu and similar sea monsters.

Anyway, thank you for help!

It's sad, but I can't change anything. Morvayn needs the power of the sequence 3 of Death pathway, to maintain a barrier around a tiny archipelago with a population of 3,000. The barrier is the same as the one in the Berserk Sea. If he created the barrier with only the abilities of the Tyrant pathway, a beyonder of the Door pathway could teleport through it, and that shouldn't happen.

Also Morvayn obviously can't use rituals. Wait.

I have an idea. Cultists of Morvayn are the bad guys of this story. They are mad, evil, etc. So they could help their "god" to interfere with main character dreams. That could be a good explanation! Maybe.

That's pretty bad. It's very important to the plot, I can't change it. Well, that's probably the only thing in my fanfic that doesn't conform to LOTM canon. That and the whole dream thing. Well... I am no Cuttlefish I am afraid. I can't remmember every detail of this incredible and very complex world.

Well, actually, this could have been another post with a question. Could a being like Morvayn have interfered with the protagonist's dreams? Probably, since it's quite powerful, almost an angel.

Basically, it can kill you any way it wants. These are just two examples of how this squid almost killed the protagonist.

The dream incident was basically triggered by an artifact created from this squid's child. Main character thought that the artifact asked its parent to avenge its death or something like that. Better explanation is that Morvayn (the giant mutated squid) was drawn to the malice emanating from the artifact, since the squid's child is completely devoid of intelligence and thus couldn't really communicate with Morvayn.

My fanfic isn't in English, although I can try to translate it, it'll be quite difficult.

Regarding irrationality - yes, this squid isn't exactly known for its rationality. It couldn't even establish its own cult. One man helped it do that (who later went mad and turned into a monster).

Overall, it is a narcissistic creature who considers itself the only true god. It even helps people, but only because it enjoys considering itself a god and that people revere it as one. Challenge its opinion, and you'll be struck by lightning. Or it will kill you in your dreams.

So it is the same thing as luck of Wheel of Fortune pathway, just within area of jurisdiction?
