Leylin Farlier

Biography

A second life and the path of a Warlock

Fang Ming dies in an experiment and awakens in the body of the young noble Leylin Farlier. The A.I. Chip from his former life has fused with his soul, preserving analytical functions without remaining a separate physical implant. Leylin responds to the new world by treating identity, combat, and magic as problems of evidence. He scans his body and companions, learns knight techniques through recorded movement, and hides the full extent of his advantage while traveling to Abyssal Bone Forest Academy. (Chapters 1–17)

At the academy, he chooses potion-making because the A.I. Chip can record formulas and simulate iterations that would consume another apprentice's lifetime and fortune. Professor Kroft supplies legitimate instruction; Leylin turns that base into modified potions, income, and access to further knowledge. He also trains as an acolyte and knight, constructs spell models, and uses the masked name Blood Rogue to trade or kill without connecting every action to the Farlier identity. His caution is instrumental rather than passive: he waits when survival demands it, then takes decisive risks once simulations and hidden preparations improve the odds. (Chapters 18–100)

The Great Magus Serholm's legacy draws him into bloodline research. Leylin obtains Giant Kemoyin Serpent material, the early grades of Kemoyin's Pupil, and the resources needed to abandon the ordinary Magus route for a Warlock path. The bloodline supplies unusually rapid advancement and abilities above the normal expectation for his rank, while also exposing him to inherited emotion and an unknown ceiling. He accepts that future liability because the immediate path is stronger and because he expects research to solve limits others treat as permanent. (Chapters 101–200)

Wars and secret-plane conflicts let Leylin gather blood, spells, souls, and artifacts while stronger organizations destroy one another. He advances through Rank 1 and Rank 2 into Rank 3, repeatedly using disguises, false deaths, and prepared exits to avoid paying the full cost of victory. By the time he leaves the South Coast, he is not merely a lucky inheritor: he has combined bloodline, potions, soul study, and the A.I. Chip into a reproducible method of turning danger into data and data into advancement. (Chapters 200–287)

Exile beneath the earth

An interworld accident leaves Leylin injured in the subterranean Twilight Zone, where he initially conceals Rank 2 strength behind the appearance of a strong Rank 1 Magus. He uses Celine's need for protection to enter Nature's Alliance, gain legitimate access to resources, and learn the region's political structure. Defending the guild at its conference restores his standing and places a local organization under his practical control without requiring him to conquer the entire east openly. (Chapters 288–335)

The conflict between humans and dark elves becomes a larger experiment in destiny. Leylin trains Baelin, supplies opportunities, and shapes him into a hero whose rising fate can be harvested. He also manipulates factions on both sides, concealing his true goal beneath actions that can be read as defense, ambition, or alliance. Baelin's trust and heroism are useful precisely because they produce the concentrated destiny Leylin needs. (Chapters 335–380)

Leylin sacrifices Baelin and completes the Coin of Destiny. Its guidance identifies the route through his bottleneck, after which he resolves the regional war on terms favorable to himself and prepares a return to the surface. The arc makes his priorities explicit: he can train, reward, and value another person's usefulness while still destroying that person when advancement requires it. (Chapters 380–391)

The Ouroboros Clan and continental war

On the central continent, Leylin joins the Ouroboros Clan and gains the institution his early Warlock path lacked. Gilbert accepts him as a student, supplies the fourth grade of Kemoyin's Pupil, and introduces cosmic-gate research and the larger rank system. Leylin contributes potion expertise and experimental analysis while acquiring phase formations, territory, and political protection. Freya recognizes his bloodline value; their initially strategic relationship develops into partnership and marriage. (Chapters 392–477)

Leylin reaches the Crystal Phase and then condenses the point mass required for Rank 4 Morning Star. The transformation places his bloodline, spiritual force, and soul on a qualitatively higher foundation. When Gilbert and the other Morning Stars vanish, enemies attack the apparently leaderless clan. Leylin protects his own bases first, then takes enough responsibility to preserve Ouroboros because its people, resources, and legitimacy remain useful to his future. (Chapters 477–520)

He follows the missing leaders into the Lava World through soul-flame and coordinate evidence. There he navigates a foreign world's factions, rescues Gilbert and Emma, and defeats the plans built around Jupiter's Lightning. The student returns with power sufficient to lead the elders who once protected him. (Chapters 520–578)

Continental war raises him through Radiant Moon and toward Breaking Dawn while extending his authority over bloodline Warlocks. Yet advancement reveals the cost hidden in the Kemoyin inheritance: the line terminates at the rank of its source and remains connected to the Snake Dowager. Leylin has won a clan and a continent-level position only to discover that the foundation of both is an inherited cage. (Chapters 578–617)

Bloodline shackles and Purgatory

At Rank 5, Leylin's exceptional purity attracts the Snake Dowager. She reaches him through Dreamscape, calls him a child, and activates the Allsnake Curse when he refuses submission. Because the curse travels through the same blood that grants his strength, ordinary resistance cannot remove it. Leylin begins treating his own origin as hostile infrastructure that must be replaced. (Chapters 618–666)

He studies Dreamscape, the curse, serpent lineages, and the relations among Purgatory World's sovereigns. Under the mixed-blood identity Nick, he enters the Dowager's world without presenting himself as the Kemoyin descendant she seeks. Concealment lets him move among snakemen, plant preparations, and encourage conflicts that no Rank 5 or Rank 6 Warlock could survive through direct force. (Chapters 666–745)

Beelzebub's Rank 8 incarnation invades, forcing the Dowager into open battle. Leylin awakens the Purgatory Will against the sovereigns, uses the converging laws to create his opening, consumes Beelzebub's split truesoul, and tears origin blood from the Dowager. His success depends on world will, prior infiltration, artifacts, and the two Rank 8 beings weakening one another; it is not proof that his earlier rank could defeat either in an ordinary duel. (Chapters 745–758)

The resulting ritual severs the old shackles and establishes Leylin as an independent serpent origin. His Targaryen line combines his own bloodline authority with Devour and dreamforce, letting him redirect existing Kemoyin descendants and design new branches for Syre and Daniel. This independence raises his potential toward laws, but descendants remain limited by Leylin's current origin until he advances further. (Chapters 758–767)

Leylin Faulen and Kukulkan

Leylin separates a truesoul and sends it into the World of Gods, where it is born as Leylin Faulen rather than arriving as an obviously foreign Magus. The native life lets him learn wizardry, the Weave, professional ranks, and divine rules from inside the crystal sphere. The incarnation develops its own mortal history while remaining continuous with the original Leylin's goals and A.I. Chip-supported knowledge. (Chapters 768–820)

As Faulen heir he builds power through arcane study, trade, firearms, piracy, and family expansion. Isabel becomes his privateer and later Dragon Warlock commander. He uses the name Kukulkan to give scattered soul-seed worshippers a divine focus and reunites with Tiff, whose unsupported faith and leadership make him the future pope. The public noble, hidden arcanist, and emerging god are operational identities serving one plan. (Chapters 820–947)

Leylin reaches legendary power, develops arcanist methods that combine Magus research with native spells, and begins condensing divinity through massacre and worship. On Debanks Island, Tiff organizes the church while Isabel directs conquest. Faith becomes usable divine power only as Leylin acquires the ability to respond, grant spells, and establish a demigod foundation. (Chapters 947–1043)

He finds and kills the weakened Beelzebub, takes Dis, and absorbs gluttony authority into a broader path. As Kukulkan he advances from demigod to true god, forms a divine kingdom, and protects it through avatars, clergy, infernal territory, and the A.I. Chip. Mystra and Tyr fail to stop the ascension because Leylin has already aligned mortal state, worship, law, and territory before exposing the decisive transition. (Chapters 1039–1124)

Original Sin and eternity

Leylin turns Beelzebub's gluttony into one component of the Seven Sins and expands through Baator. The Seven Sins law weapon gives the path multiple forms and effects while his divine and Magus aspects increasingly converge. He also returns to Shadow World, where a fixed-term alliance with the Snake Dowager and other powers supplies the coalition needed to challenge Shar. (Chapters 1040–1160)

Against Mystra, Leylin avoids a contest limited to raw divine output. He reconstructs Karsus' Avatar, seizes the Weave, and exposes the true body through the network on which her authority depends. Mystra's death gives him magical infrastructure and removes a central opponent. He subsequently destroys Tyr and takes additional divine and infernal power while the Final War accelerates. (Chapters 1161–1168)

Nightmare force completes the missing foundation of his path, and the laws of pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust are fused into Original Sin. At peak Rank 8, the Nightmare Hydra and original-sin body let Leylin suppress peer forces, plant sin within gods, recover through Sloth, and devour truesouls. The A.I. Chip clone administers his kingdom and participates in formations while the main body concentrates on law integration. (Chapters 1168–1192)

The appearance of Rank 9 power teaches Leylin that a complete path at peak Rank 8 is still vulnerable to space and time. The A.I. Chip's first attempt to analyze those laws fails under unknown interference, but records enough to confirm the gap. Leylin responds characteristically: he uses the clash of the Overgod and Magus Will, removes rival peak beings, and seeks the combined origin of the two greatest worlds rather than accepting scraps from a victor. (Chapters 1192–1199)

At the final threshold, he unifies path, bloodline, soul, and the origin forces necessary to comprehend spacetime. Leylin reaches Rank 9 and eternity. The result is not the A.I. Chip calculating an automatic solution; it is the endpoint of twelve hundred chapters in which analysis narrows uncertainty, while Leylin repeatedly supplies the evidence, risk, resources, and choices needed to make a new stage possible. (Chapters 1199–1200)

Appearance and personality

Leylin retains the black hair and dark eyes of the Farlier body, with an appearance that grows increasingly refined as rank and bloodline reshape him. Disguises such as Blood Rogue, Nick, and ordinary mercenary identities alter how others read him, while serpent, nightmare, divine, and original-sin manifestations express the power currently in use. Leylin Faulen begins as a native child in the World of Gods rather than a cosmetic disguise, but remains an identity-continuous truesoul incarnation. (Chapters 1–17, 618–820, and 1168–1200)

He is calm, observant, patient, and relentlessly pragmatic. Courtesy, family, loyalty, and repayment matter to him, but do not override survival or advancement. Leylin prefers asymmetric conflict: collect data, conceal the actual goal, create several exits, and act when stronger beings are constrained by one another. This method lets him show genuine regard for Gilbert or his children while sacrificing Baelin and whole factions without treating the two behaviors as contradictory. (Chapters 1–1200)

His defining trait is refusal to accept an externally imposed endpoint. Academy hierarchy, bloodline origin, divine morality, world wills, and even peak Rank 8 immortality are treated as systems to understand and surpass. The A.I. Chip makes that ambition more efficient; Leylin's willingness to use the results and bear calculated risk gives it direction. (Chapters 1–1200)

Magic, bloodline, and abilities

Leylin's power develops by integrating several systems while keeping their origins distinct: learned Magus and wizard methods, an inherited then independent bloodline, a soul-fused analytical system, divine authority, law power, and notable artifacts.

Soul-fused A.I. Chip

The A.I. Chip crosses reincarnation by fusing with Leylin's soul. It can scan bodies and environments, quantify observed attributes, record movement and texts, compare energy signatures, run battle and research simulations, optimize spell models, monitor injuries, and search a growing database. Because its output appears directly within his perception, Leylin can use it without revealing an external device. (Chapters 2–17 and 39–88)

Its greatest early advantage is repetition without material cost. Leylin can simulate tens of thousands of potion or combat variations, then spend real ingredients only on promising routes. That does not create knowledge from nothing: incomplete formulas, unknown laws, concealed targets, or missing parameters produce uncertainty and failure. The Chip's analysis of Rank 9 spacetime initially fails, demonstrating that processing power cannot substitute for suitable observations and a model capable of containing them. (Chapters 54–70 and 1193)

The Chip evolves with Leylin's soul and later supports divine administration and a powerful clone. It can prioritize prayers, manage mechanical tasks in the divine kingdom, maintain databases across his systems, and participate in final formations. These expansions reflect accumulated data, soul growth, and resources; the clone is not proof that the original Chip was always an independent omnipotent person. (Chapters 1134–1136 and 1168–1198)

Knight training, spells, and potion-making

Leylin begins with physical knight training, the Cross Blade, and A.I.-assisted imitation of techniques. At the academy he becomes an acolyte specializing in shadow-aligned spells and learns to construct spell models. Scanning improves targeting and lets him combine attack potions, artifacts, and close combat, but physical statistics and prepared models still set real limits. (Chapters 1–100)

Under Kroft, he develops as a potion master. The Chip records procedures and simulates formula modifications while Leylin supplies ingredients, laboratory practice, magical control, and source knowledge. Potions fund his education, alter advancement odds, treat injuries, and become political currency. Failure remains possible when the database is inadequate, and rare materials constrain production even when a formula is understood. (Chapters 18–100 and 392–477)

His later alchemy and enchantment combine Magus methods with World of Gods runes to create legendary equipment efficiently. Wizard-tower energy and rare dragon materials are still required; expertise raises yield and precision rather than eliminating cost. (Chapters 905–947)

Kemoyin's Pupil and Magus ranks

Kemoyin's Pupil is Leylin's high-grade Warlock meditation technique. Its grades guide spiritual force through Rank 1 to Morning Star and awaken the Giant Kemoyin inheritance. He progresses through Rank 1, Rank 2, Rank 3 phases, the Rank 4 point mass, Rank 5 Radiant Moon, Rank 6 Breaking Dawn, and into law ranks, using bloodline acceleration, phase formations, soul development, and accumulated resources at each transition. (Chapters 101–617)

Rank advancement is qualitative, not just a larger energy reserve. Crystal Phase condenses stable spiritual-force crystals; Morning Star compresses path, bloodline, power, and soul into a point mass; higher ranks develop soul force and approach laws. Leylin's ability to fight above rank comes from bloodline, artifacts, preparation, and analysis, not a rule that titles alone guarantee victory. (Chapters 392–617)

The original Kemoyin route ends at its source's ceiling and exposes descendants to the Snake Dowager. The Allsnake Curse proves that a complete inherited meditation method can still be structurally hostile. Leylin's later path preserves useful training while replacing ownership of the bloodline itself. (Chapters 618–758)

Giant Kemoyin and independent Targaryen bloodline

The Giant Kemoyin bloodline grants poisonous power, serpent scales and durability, the Eye of Petrification, emotional pressure, and increasingly complete serpent transformation. The petrifying gaze can turn targets or magical constructs to stone when resistance is insufficient; poison and transformation increase combat force. Stronger beings, specialized defenses, or bloodline suppression can resist these effects. (Chapters 101–617)

In Purgatory, Leylin takes origin blood from the Snake Dowager and combines it with Devour and dreamforce to become an independent progenitor. The resulting Targaryen origin no longer treats him as a child of the Dowager. He can redirect Kemoyin Warlocks, pass designed branches to descendants, and raise their potential as his own source improves. (Chapters 745–767)

This control has stated limits. Syre and Daniel's remodeled lines initially peak at Rank 6 because Leylin's origin at the time can support only that far, and their future paths are not guaranteed merely by names such as Infinite Serpent or Jormungandr. Bloodline design provides potential and inherited abilities; descendants still require growth and Leylin must advance for the ceiling to rise. (Chapter 767)

Soul, truesoul, and incarnation methods

At higher ranks Leylin can preserve, divide, and project soul. A soul seed is a small dependent fragment that requires support and may inhabit a native vessel, as with Tiff's iron sword. A separated truesoul can establish a much more complete incarnation, as with Leylin Faulen, but committing meaningful identity across the crystal sphere carries greater cost and risk. (Chapters 694–820)

The Faulen truesoul develops within the World of Gods' native rules, avoiding the severe suppression faced by an invading Magus. It learns wizard and divine systems locally while remaining part of Leylin's continuous path. Later reunification and coordination allow native divinity, Magus law, and the A.I. Chip to support one another without claiming that every mortal Faulen ability was available to the original body from birth. (Chapters 768–1124)

At peak Rank 8, Leylin's truesoul connects to the river of spacetime, supporting immense longevity but remaining vulnerable to true Rank 9 control of time. His final advancement requires comprehension beyond mere truesoul persistence. (Chapters 1192–1200)

Dreamscape and Nightmare Hydra

Leylin first studies Dreamscape because the Snake Dowager uses it to reach him. Dreamforce fluctuates with the world's cycles and permits contact, concealment, curses, and powers that ordinary spatial defenses do not neatly stop. He develops a Nightmare Absorbing Physique and incorporates Dreamscape into his independent bloodline and law research. (Chapters 618–767)

Later he binds Dreamscape's Lords of Calamity and World Will through oath and arbitration, receiving world support that raises nightmare force into a foundation for Original Sin. The Nightmare Hydra expresses that integration through multiple heads and law attacks. Its power is strongest with world support and completed law fusion; earlier dreamforce is volatile and cannot be treated as an unlimited stable reserve. (Chapters 1168–1179)

Arcane, divine, and infernal power

As Leylin Faulen, he becomes a wizard and arcanist, using the Weave while applying Magus experimentation to spell research. Arcane methods let him modify models and combine native magic with alchemy, but spell slots, tower power, materials, and the Weave remain relevant constraints before godhood. (Chapters 768–988)

As Kukulkan, he condenses divinity through massacre, faith, and worship. Demigod and true-god progression grant divine spells to priests, avatars, domains, a divine kingdom, and authority within the World of Gods. Faith supplies power through worshippers, while territory and church institutions sustain the system. His divine rank does not erase foreign-world rules; it is the native foundation that lets him operate inside them at full scale. (Chapters 988–1136)

Taking Dis and Beelzebub's authority adds an infernal office and gluttony divinity. These are acquired powers, not products of the Kemoyin bloodline. Leylin integrates them into Original Sin rather than leaving himself dependent on a stolen title alone. (Chapters 1039–1179)

Original Sin, Seven Sins, and Rank 9

Leylin gathers the laws of pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust into Original Sin. The Seven Sins law weapon expresses those components through multiple forms and abilities; for example, Sloth's Recovery greatly accelerates restoration. His path can exploit emotions, plant seeds of sin, bind or drain divine bodies, devour laws and truesouls, and form the Nightmare Hydra. (Chapters 1124–1199)

Original Sin is assembled progressively. Gluttony comes through Beelzebub, infernal expansion supplies other sins, and nightmare force completes the foundation. Before fusion, individual authorities and the weapon's forms are powerful but not equivalent to the perfected peak Rank 8 path. Even at completion, Leylin cannot initially oppose Rank 9 spacetime directly. (Chapters 1039–1193)

Rank 9 uses a completed path as the foundation for laws of space and time. Leylin observes the Overgod, confirms the remaining gap through the A.I. Chip, and uses the Final War and combined world origins to cross it. His latest state is eternal Rank 9, with bloodline, truesoul, Original Sin, divine experience, and analysis unified under a spacetime-capable path. The exact full range of post-advancement abilities is not exhaustively demonstrated after the breakthrough. (Chapters 1193–1200)

Item-derived capabilities

Many decisive advantages are artifact-dependent. The Fallen Star Pendant supplies early defense; the Coin of Destiny provides one crucial guidance result; the Mask of the Dreamless protects against Dreamscape threats; the Manderhawke Plate enables a difficult crystal-sphere crossing; and Seven Sins acts as a law weapon. These effects complement Leylin's path but should not be described as innate abilities of his body before acquisition. (Chapters 1–1200)
