Lord of Mysteries (2025) s01e02 Episode Script

Beyonder

1
In the world of Beyonders,
humans can attain various
Beyonder abilities
by taking the potions
to accomplish the ascension path
to Divinity.
These 22 Pathways
begin with Sequence Nine.
The lower the number of the Sequence,
the stronger the Beyonder abilities are.
The powerful Sequence Beyonders
can have the powers of God.
This evolution is now called
the Path of the Divine.
The Antigonus Family's notebook
is missing.
You're still in danger.
Or
would you care to join us
and become a Beyonder?
EPISODE TWO, BEYONDER
If you want to join us,
go to Wright at Hound Pub.
If I join the Nighthawks,
my secret might be found out,
but it can be a camouflage.
At the moment,
it's the best way to learn
about the mysticism.
HOUND PUB
This is the place.
Excuse me.
-Kill it! Attack!
-Attack!
What the heck?
What are you looking at?
You have a death wish, rookie?
We don't sell milk, kid.
I'd like to hire a team
of mercenaries, Mr. Wright.
What era do you think this is?
Why would those people exist?
Who told you to come here?
Dunn Smith.
Follow me.
BLACKTHORN SECURITY COMPANY
ROZANNE ADELAIDE, CLERK,
EVERNIGHT GODDESS NIGHTHAWKS
The direct steam train to Constanton,
the Soaring is launched today.
Who are you?
Hello, I'm Klein Moretti.
The captain mentioned a new guy.
Yes.
Please follow me.
LEONARD MITCHELL,
EVERNIGHT GODDESS NIGHTHAWK, MIDNIGHT POE
I'm Rozanne, a clerk.
We're colleagues now.
It's my honor.
We're not always busy.
But in the past two days,
there have been more cases of Beyonders.
ROYALE REIDEEN, EVERNIGH
GODDESS NIGHTHAWKS, THE SLEEPLESS
That's Royale. Isn't she pretty?
I don't speak with her much.
That's Frye.
He might seem distant,
but he's very nice.
He taught me to sketch.
FRYE, EVERNIGHT GODDESS NIGHTHAWKS,
THE CORPSE COLLECTOR
Kenley's joined the Nighthawks
for about six months.
But he's always nervous on a mission.
KENLEY WHITE, EVERNIGH
GODDESS NIGHTHAWKS, THE SLEEPLESS
Go on, the captain is right ahead.
Aren't you coming?
Well,
I've always been scared of the captain.
For no reason.
He's actually very kind and caring.
Just like a father.
Isn't it normal to be afraid of fathers?
That's true.
CHANIS GATE
DUTY ROOM
DUNN SMITH,
EVERNIGHT GODDESS NIGHTHAWKS, NIGHTMARE
You've decided?
Special Operations Department,
Awwa County Police,
Seventh Unit.
I thought we were
Blackthorn Security Company.
That's just one of our many covers.
We're under
the Church of the Evernight Goddess,
responsible for tackling
supernatural incidents.
From now on,
you're one of us.
Welcome.
I should call you Captain.
Yes.
But here's a heads-up.
As a Nighthawk,
there's a risk of losing control.
Take that and follow me.
Losing control?
Every name in here
is a sacrificed Nighthawk.
Going haywire is what mostly killed them.
They are the pioneers of Tingen.
We commemorate them
and follow in their steps.
Do you know about the Myth of Creation?
The Creator awake from chaos,
creating the first ray of light.
He then made up all of existence.
One of his eyes becomes the sun
and the other, the Crimson Moon.
His body became the land and the stars.
His hair turned into the phoenix,
his ears turned into the demonic wolves.
We're all from the same origin.
Humans can make potions
with mysticism ingredients
to gain powers to Pathways.
Pathways?
The Hanged Man mentioned it yesterday.
The 22 Pathways.
The Church of Evernight Goddess
has Sequence Nine potions
to four Pathways.
The complete Sleepless Pathway,
the Corpse Collector
is good for self-defense.
The Mystery Pryer and Seer
are advantageous in mysticism.
But it's weak in offense.
What I'm reminding you
is about the Seer Pathway.
We only have Sequence Nine.
Don't decide yet.
See Old Neil in the alchemy room first.
He'll have ways to help you
make the best choice.
Yes, Captain.
We are guardians,
but also a bunch of miserable wretches
that are constantly fighting
against threats and madness.
It seems no matter what potion I choose,
what I need is knowledge on mysticism.
The Sleepless
and the Corpse Collector are out.
As for the Mystery Pryer and the Seer,
which is better?
I'm so torn.
It's like applying to college.
ALCHEMY ROOM
No one's in?
My Goddess!
What's going on?
NEIL, CLERK, EVERNIGHT GODDESS
NIGHTHAWKS, THE MYSTERY PRYER
Hello.
I'm Klein.
I've heard of you, young man.
Dunn told me.
A history graduate from Khoy University?
Call me Old Neil.
No rush in picking Sequence.
Help me tidy up those documents
over there first.
Sure, Mr. Neil.
Dunn said that you're proficient
in ancient Faysec and Hermes.
I'm not that proficient.
I've just spent years studying them.
Start with something easy
or what you're familiar with.
Once you get the hang of it,
you might be able to decipher
these notebooks that went missing
after Emperor Roselle's death.
Emperor Roselle?
The notebooks were almost all lost.
It took me great efforts
to get these three transcripts.
It's said that these strange symbols
he invented contain mysterious powers.
But for over 150 years,
no one could accurately decipher
their true meanings.
However, I've figured out a few symbols.
I'm certain that they represent numbers.
It means,
this is actually
a diary.
Darn it, this is simplified Chinese.
"November 18th.
Truly a fascinating matter.
I've discovered a poor guy trapped
in a storm and lost in darkness."
He is lucky.
He's met me,
the protagonist of this era.
ROSELLE GUSTAV
January 1st, 1184,
it was a magnificent New Year's party.
Lady Florena was truly splendid.
The Emperor
How were you so passionate?
I've repeated it so many times!
The key to the potions
is not to master but to internalize.
It's not about tapping into powers,
but acting.
"The names of the potions
aren't simply symbolic at its core,
but a concrete imagery
and the 'key' to internalizing!"
There's so much information.
Thank you, my mother tongue.
I might even find out the way
to return home.
I made a hasty choice then.
In hindsight,
I should've chosen the Apprentice,
-the Seer, or the Marauder.
-"The Seer, or the Marauder.
They are the better choices."
What does he mean?
Klein.
Mr. Neil.
What's the matter?
I'm sorry.
I was trying to decipher
and translate this diary.
Decipher?
You sure are young!
Youngsters always think
they are one of a kind.
Any idea about the potions yet?
I can tell you more in detail.
It's best to take good advice.
I'll trust my predecessor.
Mr. Neil, I've decided.
The Seer.
The Seer.
Are you sure?
I must remind you with great delicacy.
Once you take the potion,
you can't go back on it.
I understand.
But I'll follow my heart.
I didn't expect you
to pick the Seer Pathway.
You have quite the personality as I did,
not easily persuaded.
Not bad.
Tidying these documents helped.
I have a yearning
to learn about mysticism.
Yes.
Emperor Roselle once said,
"Knowledge is power."
Since you've decided,
let's begin.
100 ml of pure water.
Thirteen drops of Nightshades extract.
Seven Gold Mint leaves.
Three drops of Poison Hemlock extract.
Nine grams of Dragon Blood Grass Powder.
And the key ingredients,
10 ml of Lavos Squid's Crystallized Blood.
Lastly,
fifty grams of Stellar Aqua Crystal.
Done.
Your Seer Pathway potion.
Is this really edible?
Will I really not get poisoned?
Do I just drink it?
Why?
How about a glass of wine first?
And a dance with me?
Mr. Neil, that's not what I meant.
I know what you meant.
Don't be scared and don't hesitate.
The more you fret,
the worse you'll absorb it.
You have a good reason
to be sitting here now.
Right?

Klein.
You just took the potion.
Some powers are seeping out.
This is normal.
Now, focus.
Imagine an object
that's very common in this world.
Well done.
Now, adjust your thoughts.
Imagine another object
that doesn't exist
in this world.
Klein, control your Spirituality!
You must do as I say!
Imagine an object
that doesn't exist in this world!
What's going on?
There's nothing.
Stay focused.
Get hold of how you imagined the object.
What's going through your mind?
Get hold of your Spirituality,
not release it!
I did it.
KLEIN MORETTI, EVERNIGH
GODDESS NIGHTHAWKS, THE SEER
Congratulations, our Seer.
I was right about you.
You're a promising young man.
Well? Don't I look different now?
This is Spirit Vision.
You can now tell my health condition
from reading my aura.
He doesn't look healthy.
Is it because he's old?
There are eyes behind you!
Eyes?
Don't worry about them.
It's just a magical representation
of a ritual.
That was
The overuse of Spirit Vision
will exhaust your Spirituality.
You'll even see illusions.
Have you met Leonard?
When that chap first became
a Beyonder after taking the potion,
he slipped and fell down
a flight of stairs.
So put a lid on it.
If you can't control Spirit Vision well,
just do as I did.
Tap between your brows twice
to turn your Spirit Vision on and off.
Between my brows?
Apart from Spirit Vision,
you can use Spirituality
on Divination Arts,
like Dowsing Rod
and all sorts of ritualistic magic.
However, let's call it a day.
Before you go,
check the allocated Demon Hunting bullets
and so on.
Here, count them.
Also, don't forget the receipts.
Get Dunn to reimburse them.
Receipts?
Reimburse?
Thanks to the great Emperor Roselle.
Roselle again?
Old Neil said
that you adapted well.
Be it meditation or Spirit Vision.
Maybe just the Seer's special skills.
In the realm of the Beyonders,
special means danger.
At first,
you keep hearing or seeing something.
Curiosity kills the cat.
Don't pry
into what you shouldn't have heard
or seen.
Bear this in mind.
Yes, Captain.
Before you're an official Nighthawk,
you'll stay as a clerk.
Three pounds a week.
This is your cash advance.
Twelve pounds.
Twelve pounds?
Klein's brother, Benson,
only makes five or six pounds a week.
I've overcome poverty
and ranked up to the middle class.
Please come again.
Get a cane first.
Then walk around Welch's house.
This is your daily task.
See if you'll remember
where the notebook is.
Get in.

Brief history of Loen Kingdom
An assignment?
Elliott.
A tobacco merchant, Vickeroy's only son.
He was kidnapped this morning.
Don't we just handle the Beyonders?
We're undercover as a security company.
This client is a previous regular.
We
found his lost cat once.
Don't worry.
The Seer is best at locating people.
This is his clothes.
Get to work, our new Seer.
The Dowsing Rod.
Elliott's location is
Elliott's location is
Go straight.
Go straight.
Turn left.
Turn right.
This is the place.
FORESTON STREE
He's in there.
Two kidnappers.
And a hostage.
Good job.
We'll wrap up in a minute.
Am I
overusing my Spirituality?
Three, four, five, six, seven. Straight.
Bomb.
Three, four, five, six, seven. Straight.
Bomb.
Some kidnapper you are.
Can't you be more civilized?
All bells and whistles.
Let's clock out.
Don't be scared. It's okay.
Who are those men?
Regulars at Hound Pub.
A bunch of gamblers.
This isn't just any kidnapping.
Finally,
this is getting interesting.
Trying to run?
It's gone.
Seer, don't let it get away.
Still trying to run?
A first-time shooter?
That
The threat of fear
Crimson hope
At least, one thing is true
This life is fleeting
One thing is for real
The rest are all lies
Once flowers bloom once
They shall depart this life
Midnight Poet's ability
will put it into deep sleep.
It's all right. Someone will handle it.
Including memories of Beyonders.
Hornacis
Flegrea
What's wrong?
Any new discoveries?
No.
This place
Klein had been here before.
Good marksmanship.
But I was aiming for the head.
Stay still.
Don't get contaminated.
I wonder where Bacchus got
the potion from.
Wild Beyonders like him
go haywire without a doubt.
I hate dealing
with uncontrollable Beyonders.
Why?
Frankly speaking, you're lucky.
First-timers rarely run
into uncontrollable Beyonders.
You sure define lucky
in a unique way.
Anyway,
great working with you.
Are we that close?
What? Anything else?
There's something about you
that draws me to you.
Likewise.
Oddball.
What have you observed?
I knew it.
He's not special.
If Melissa knows
that I've found a job so quickly,
she'll be thrilled.
This was the building just now.
What's going on?
I already got home.
EVERYONE WILL DIE, INCLUDING ME
THE FOOL
The house across the kidnapping place
has a clue
to the Antigonus Family's notebook.
"Number two, Daffodil Street."
This must be it.
MORETTI
BENSON MORETTI, KLEIN’S OLDER BROTHER,
CLERK AT EXPORT-IMPORT COMPANY
-Benson.
-Benson.
-Welcome home.
-Welcome home.
So are we really going to live here?
Have no doubt, Benson.
From now on,
this is our home.
But the lease
at Iron Cross Street isn't up yet,
so the stingy landlord
won't return our deposit.
Don't worry, I'll talk to him.
After all, he's not even
as smart as a baboon.
This smells great.
Klein, is this really
your first try at cooking?
Of course.
Come on, taste them.
Have more if you like it.
Klein.
This is
You've got a job,
so you should dress smart.
This must cost a lot.
Benson's been saving up for this.
Try it on. See if you like it.
It suits you!
You look great!
I love it.
Thank you, Benson and Melissa.
We're family. Don't mention it.
Come on! Let's drink to Klein's nice job.
And to our new home!
May our future be even better.
-Glory to the Goddess!
-Glory to the Goddess!
