I mean, his goal basically amounts to either destroying the world economy as they know it or world domination, so that might not be as big a problem as it sounds ...

This Is exactly how I took it. That in not very long at all, every corner of the oasis... um, I mean Eternum, would know and fear (dun,dun,dun) The Huntsman.

Idriel: "You know nothing, Orion Richards."
Orion: "Well no fucking shit. Not my fault if a certain someone has been cryptic about all of the answers since the very beginning."

'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' sends me into a panic now, and I don't want to have to explain to other people that it was because of this game I REALLY don't like that song now lol

Well that's sure that the whole "retrieve the 10 gems of doom and become the CEO of Ulysses" thing is just a smokescreen and nothing of that will happen at the end. Now I wonder how people will react after hearing that the sudden death caused by a "stroke" are in fact caused by playing Eternum(and by Ulysses), will they believe it at first? Certainly not everyone, will they keep playing the game after this news? Yes I think so. What's certain is that both Eternum (the game) and Ulysseswill experience upheavals (just imagine if some players get their hands in the whole " excommunicated" thing and can start kiling others people/player for real)
Ahh this cursed song, I thought there was some whsipers in the middle so I have listened to that shit about 10 times in a row to try to hear them

Nah my prediction is that Eternum (the VRMMO) will just suddenly shut down without warning once Orion and co "break the cycle" and reopen Acheron (allowing the spirits trapped in Eternum to pass on to their respective afterlives), leading to an inquiry/investigation back in the real world that will reveal a lot of uncomfortable stuff that's happening in the game and under Ulysses watch, but nothing about excommunication leading to souls being trapped in Eternum nor of its true nature because those secrets will likely die with William and the Founde-
/gets put on a chokehold by his Brain
-Fuck, he noticed. Anyway, the high IRL player deaths and Ulysses covering them up or paying up officials in various countries to cover it up will cause a heavy scandal and the subsequent jailing of the board, William and the Founder will be put in FBI's Most Wanted list and will be believed to be in hiding (despite them having died but no one save for Orion and co knows about it), the political and economical fallout will be a shitshow because of the exposes on corrupt officials revealed to be under Ulysses' payroll (wouldn't even surprise me if it's revealed that good ol' Stabby Mike left politics because of this, seeing how his other colleagues got bought one by one by Ulysses and the company itself trying to court him as well but he said no and everyone turned on him as a result) and how much the world economies are tied to Eternum and with it shut down the world governments turn on Ulysses and start taking its remaining assets to prevent a worldwide economic collapse, resulting in the company itself becoming bankrupt and defunct afterwards-
/Brain's chokehold tightens
-so that pretty much leaves the real world shaken but still relatively normal for the most part. Doubt Caribdis will cause an upheaval of sorts in the world that will be a bit difficult to follow up in the next game. Kinda like how in OIAL the Sons got exposed but other than that the world remained pretty much the same. But then again, Cari might mix it up this time so-
/Brain's chokehold tightens further
-OKAY, OKAY, I'M DONE, I'M DONE. I HAVEN'T EVEN REVEALED THE ENTIRETY OF THE THEORY-
/Brain drags me away
-ANYWAY I'LL JUST CONTINUE THIS WHEN LATER UPDATES CONFIRM OR DEBUNK STUFF I'M PREDICTING WILL HAPPEN AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL MAKE MY BRAIN STOP TRYING TO KILL ME EVERYTIME I TRY TO REVEAL STUFF THAT'S NOT READY YET-

I read all of it and if half of it happen you deserve to have at least 4 months of Caribdis income

I mean the Ulysses payout after the fall will pretty much keep the world relatively stable after...but yeah, the short-term financial and economic shitshow that results from a lot of people losing their in-game jobs/source of income and literal economies being cut off from Eternum will be quite something...if we even get to see that and not be delegated as a news reel footnote-

Y'all are missing the point when Ulysses is being abandoned and brought down, and Nova hacks in, transferring the funds quietly and living a happy harem life after with all the girls and Orion

Not sure if Orion and co would want to touch the money of a corporation that benefitted from keeping the dead souls of the multiverse trapped and denied of their rest in their respective afterlives. At best they'll see the payout and fall of Ulysses as punishment for their transgressions, with Nova likely stealing a little and pass it off as her own "savings" (despite some disapproval from members of the harem at first). Again, my prediction is the funds won't make them live off as kings and queens, but it'll be more than enough for Orion and co to at least start a small business and/or have the other members of the harem finish schooling and settle down eventually in one household (likely at Nancy's...which means heavy renovations are likely a-coming for that house).Y'all are missing the point when Ulysses is being abandoned and brought down, and Nova hacks in, transferring the funds quietly and living a happy harem life after with all the girls and Orion

Time and again, I can't help but notice some scenes are simply jaw-dropping.
I'm also immensely delighted to see the return of Eva in this update, who I wish were an LI or at least a regularly recurring character.

Like I said there will be fallout and it'll likely be talked about in the next game...but it won't be such great of an upheaval that Cari will have to take that into consideration in the events of the next game (and by consideration I mean in a "the game's location and events that are going to happen are heavily affected by the events of Eternum and you'll see the unintended consequences of Orion and co's actions" kind of way). At best it'll be some background fluff or one of the characters/LIs will come from a family that was affected by the economic/political fallout. But other than that it'll likely be "business as usual" for the world.

Which is why my money is on what I said (shakeup in that it won't remain unnoticed or relegated to rumors and hearsays, but not to the point that it would affect the status quo in a very significant way (like if it's revealed to the masses that Eternum is indeed the Astral Plane and that spirits and aliens and monsters exist there...imagine the religious and philosophical upheavals that would result on that one) or that the next story could heavily revolve around the fallout of said shakeup). Less of a headache for Cari that way and allows him to focus on another round of harem building in the next story without so much as worrying about having to reread his own canon on a constant basis just to keep himself from forgetting his own established lore (and getting called out by eagle-eyed lore hunters about it >:3).
Again, could be wrong and Cari decides to go for it (and deal with the slew of consequences on the writing side that comes after). That's on him to work on eventually, lol.
