I’m not a novel reader but this is what I understand so far:
1. Jio was previously an arts teacher
2. Disaster struck at the school resulting in mass fire with no escape so Jio took “refuge” in his classroom
3. Became one with painting and stopped being human (bro literally didn’t have to do toilet duties lol) and awakens as a “God of Gods” unknowingly
4. 30 yrs or so passed with the rise of awakened people and dungeons.
5. Jio gets discovered by awakened, gets sold to collector guy (forgot his name), and is now making contact with other people in all of his glory lol
His powers so far:
Has the ability to create creatures and dungeons alike.
He also can assimilate with those who are like him in the dungeons he creates (probably means he can take on their powers, memories, etc.)
He can also see someone’s level of safety/danger as long as he’s looking through a frame like structure or thing.
Can you also be so kind to explain if when he created the sea painting, did he inadvertently causes the destruction of the dimension that already existed or did the dimension exists solely because he created the sea and hence the dimension. Is JIO the blonde was also the byproduct of the creation of the dimension. Why did it become a dungeon? Or is it not a dungeon?
I probably need a second read bc what is Root and the Root children etc
Oh, I can explain that. The paintings like Breath of the Sea is more of a search result found kinda stuff. The world already exist before Jio painted the painting and its destruction is not related to Jio but Giovanni is involve in the process but he isn't the direct cause, Giovanni is more of a deceased individual that happens to be a match with high compability rate with Jio that the system has found.
The manhwa didn't delve into it but aside from "Breath of the Sea", Jio had also painted 2 other paintings. The first one which the manhwa depicted as a charred hand in fire (named "Animal Kingdom") is a similar case to "Breath of the Sea", while the other portrait named "Void city" (i dont remember much bout its name) is the Jio's actual creation where the system wasn't able to find any matching system resulting in the painting becoming something similar to those waterbirds like Honey.
To summarise, the sea existed as an actual world before he painted it but was later destroyed resulting in the world becoming a dungeon. After becoming a dungeon, the world travel to different dimension in the form of dungeon and then move on laterwards. Giovanni has existed, he is not a byproduct of the creation. As for why did it become a dungeon, that is related to the "Roots" and how it operate.
I hope this help and didn't confuse u any farther
Im getting so confused with the world building. If anyone can be so kind to explain in simpler terms
