He is one of the servants during that meeting of the "Stone owners" you visit with Alex and Calypso. Someone had a Screenshot of him during that event, proving the "dead become NPCs theory".
No way I unintentionally noticed the slow decay of Orion's fingernails yet somehow missed this.

if you think harem hotel is a very good game no wonder youre unhappy with this one, dont get me wrong, im not saying that opinion is worse than others, but if you like those kinde of porn game (where the porn and the sex are really prioritized over anything else) of course you're gonna be disapointed with this story heavy game, no one this far on the Eternum thread is here just for the porn anymore.
man i played fruit of grisaia, high school days,katawa shoujo, fate, some of rance games, little busters and a lot more games like those and they just are in another category in story writiing world building and character development im totally ok with these games having fk 10-30 hours of history before a sex scene, i cant compare eternium to those its no way near them, thats why im comparing it to games like summertime saga harem hotel or even more like ¨being a dick¨, ¨being a dik¨ has THE PERFECT ratio of sex scenes/p hour played, eternium even tho it has a good history its just at the level of ¨being a dik¨ or even lower maybe, but with the quantity of sex scenes being betwen a little more than the japanese VNs i mentioned earlier and much less than ¨being a dik¨
thats the why of my first comment i think i didnt expressed my point good, i meant that this game tries to be like a japanese VN in terms of history and pacing but with less quality and more sex scenes so it just ends up being in a limbo where it isnt as good as jap VN and neither as good in sex scenes as ¨being a dik¨/type games
its still a very good game it definitily is in my top 10 of f95zone maybe i was just angry for the way that the game ended wiht 1 sex scene for the main girls.
i think i wouldnt have even commented if this game was already finished with 3 or more sex scenes per each main girl , anyway im gonna try playing ¨once in a lifetime¨ again the first time i tried i dropped it, lets see now.
Reading this comment it feels like i praise ¨being a dik¨ but tbh the first updates where cool but like the last 2 where totally shit idk yall but i would never commmit in univrsity if i had so many girls to fk but i guess is the only way to make branching storylines in this type of game

It really IS summer time on the boards here: I'm seeing reruns! ;):LOL:

Sorry to bust balls, but I think this is the second time this has come up within the last month and likely about the fourth or fifth since the release of 0.4 (where the party scenes are from). It is great fun, though, to see people newly discovering this VN and the cool stuff within it. I think I dropped in around the release of 0.3.

What's up with that? Any theories?
Reposting some posts from a while back...

I was going to make a similar post about Orion but it didn't seem worth the effort.

Have you noticed his fingernails?
How the dead Syndicate members seem drawn to him like Moths on a flame?
His cold body temp (may be an insignificant 1 off w/ Luna)?
The girl with powers to see death can't see his (may have already occurred)?
His near immortal zenkai boost in Eternum?
That boost itself that makes him look dead?

I think this will be a shoe drop moment with Orion in the future

I mean to be fair not everyone is likely diving through past pages which would clue them to that particular story bomb (which was why I found it funny when someone said a while back in this thread that such a thing was obvious but I was like "nope. definitely not if people keep missing that and show surprise when someone points it out"), so I expect this particular scenario to play out again after 50 pages or so.

50 you say.... Just wait until 20 pages and you will see, also I don't read comments that much

I expect we'll see it dozens of more times before the end, unless someone wants to do a search for "theories" (or just on your name ;)), to see all of the connections/potential connections. It just struck me because there's usually more time between sightings. :LOL:

I only said that because it's likely the topic's gonna be drowned by 0.6 release schedule talk before we reach that number and the convo swings back sometime after (unless 0.6 manages to put a spotlight on that, in which case yeah it's going to be talked about even before we hit 20-50 pages from now).

I am definitely not the guy to ask about theories, I usually take a wait and see approach. Although your comment made me remember I decompiled the game which reminded me about some of the weird images typically shown in game for a brief second

Someone like Dorfnutter has likely already given a much better explanation of this, but if I was a betting man I think Carib D was inspired by the esoteric interpretation of the Ouroboros when he was creating the narrative framework for Eternum.

Specifically, esoteric concepts the Ouroboros can represent such as the union of the conscious and unconscious in Eternum's case, or the concept of Eternal Return and the interconnections between life, death, and rebirth as a path towards immortality and transcendence, for example. I do believe there's a yet unexplained connection to Orion in all this, considering both the Founder and Idriel's immediate interest in him.

I don't really want to read too much into it though, especially when the update is dropping next week and will paint more of the overall picture.

Also explains why he wasn't in school after this incident. Im sure my guy is thoroughly shook seeing the soul? engram? whatever of his dead friend reanimated as an NPC.

Funnily enough, I think i've been around since... 0.2? I genuinely missed it and although this is the only VN on F95 I actually care about unless there's an update around the corner or previews on the verge of dropping you likely wont find me on F95 anymore lol

Yeah, the first one shows up in a series of images right at the beginning of the first dream (or should I say nightmare?) in 0.1. The latter image shows up right at the end of 0.1, and could just be a nothing-burger as it's just a collage of important people Orion met in that particular update before said update formally ends.

Speaking of the first image...

...not sure if what seems to be the ravings of an absolute madman can be considered a better explanation, but uhhh...thanks for the vote of confidence (lol).

Likely "no-lifing" Eternum to look for the Benjie look-a-like, which may have been sent elsewhere after the party.
