"Suddenly, Stigma shone brightly, its blue glow leaking through my shirt. Immediately, the world seemed to turn upside down. As though the world was dismantled and then reassembled, the scenery distorted and changed. In the blink of an eye, I found myself standing behind Heuk Jeon." - Chapter 122
People have seen Spartan with both his personas now, and they both display various powers that seem minor at first glance, sometimes overlapping, publicly. I'm not saying it's Superman/Clark Kent type of obvious, but given the level of information tech and the various people with info-gathering Gifts, at least someone should've realized it by now. Hell, just based on the fact that some people in CT are assholes who might leak information it isn't unlikely that a poweful figure might come across this secret. Just saying, if the series progresses awhile without the Lotus identity becoming public (or an open secret) I'm not buying it.
I wonder if someone's done like a comprehensive version listing all of Hajin's gifts and skills, and describing them. I honestly have forgotten about a lot of them ever since he entered the tower and we've been bombarded with new skills.

Wow, I guess I forgot. Why does he never do anything that ever again? Especially since in the same chapter there's this: As far as I can remember he's not been using this 'idea imprint', up to the point that I completely forgot about it. I'd claim that the author forgot, but I thought the same thing about homer's ring and tomer but he ended up bringing those back, and he even added the fermun siblings- who requested hajin's first mission as fenrir- to suho's party (and probably brought back other characters and items I haven't noticed if he's gone to that extent). The only thing I can think up is that he's never been in a perilous fight outside of kurukuru and that wasn't suitable, so it'll be brought back when he needs it. Maybe the new stigma upgrade he just got will be a chance to remind everyone about it?
not with boss around they won't, also these info gathering people have been trying to figure out CT's identities for a long time now, and they still haven't succeeded so eh also, all the overlapping info different people have on him isn't really a problem in this novel world where misunderstandings are so fucking common just because idiots don't share info and just assume things all the time >.>
I would love it if Yeonha informs their circle of friends that Hajin is dead and they all mourn then Hajin will walk in and be all like, "WTF?? I'm still alive." Then if ever Hajin finally gets home and disappears, they will all not believe that he's gone and be like, "He had done this before. He's alive...somewhere." while all looking at the sunset with teary eyes. Yeah, I think I've read too many of these goddamn webnovels.
Does anyone have a character of ( anime, manga) that they associate it with the characters in the novel, For me: Hajin: - Hei from darker than black Boss: - Mikasa from aot I don't have any for the others at the moment, I'm just interested in knowing what you think about my "imagination" ^^
Hm im wondering about chapter 238/239 where they are all so concerned about their lives. It was mentioned shortly before that only one life for every person is available, do they have to fear real death now or will they just be evicted out of the tower upon death?
They die. You lose all your lives in the tower and you die. Now it's just much easier for them to die.
Throwback to 5 years ago in chapter 132 when hajin said I wonder if we'll be getting that any time soon...
True, I agree with you on that. I'm pretty sure Jin Sahyuk knows that because Hajin killed Sahyuk with his bow in the tower. But yea now I think about it more I'm surprised people aren't suspecting Hajin as Lotus. Well probably a plot armourmor until author wants to reveal Hajin existence as Lotus to make things intresting.
Hajin has never shown any strong offensive power with a bow. Then general public knows he's a gunner and very skilled with a bow, but except the members of the Chameleon Troupe and Bell's gang, no one knows that he is capable of weaving magic power into an arrow that can destroy reinforced building with ease. They all think that his gun is more for assassinations and against weak armies of monsters. Besides the bet with Chae Nayun and the archery competition, Hajin has never used a bow in his Fenrir persona. Everyone thinks that Black Lotus is as powerful as Master-rank heroes. To the general public, Fenrir's gun is more powerful than normal, but it still isn't that powerful compared to the top heroes. It's mostly his skill in mass monster slaying that made him famous.
The first time he ever used his arrow with stigma like that was in one of the cube exams in an artificial tower. It was in front of chae nayun, yi jiyoon and a bunch of no name cadets at the end of chapter 120/beginning of chapter 121. Nayun's reaction:
I forgot about that one. But even though it was powerful, he fainted right after he shot the arrow. Also, it was against a high-intermediate rank monster (he didn't even kill it, just got rid of its arm), not a reinforced building. My point still stands. Hajin didn't show enough power with archery to suggest that he is Black Lotus. Remember, the first one Aileen suspected as Black Lotus was Jin Seyeon, the Divine Archer. People will suspect other famous/powerful archers instead of a gunner who barely uses a bow.
There is this hunter Kim Junwoo from Vast Expanse that is always alone, a top ranker, and very little is written about him other than he is strong, and keep to himself. Why don't people suspect him to be Black Lotus? A lot of info is hidden inside the tower, with nickname and alias. It is not that easy to tell who is who.
