The story so far...

In the previous section, TheLaw initiated a "Tournament of Souls" - a contest that involved digital versions of the players' souls battling one another. This was visualized in the form of a "Soul Calibur 6" tournament. The winner of this tournament ended up being the player Azura. Her prize was the ability to supposedly make a substantial choice or opportunity in the future - though what exactly this would eventually result in is unknown...

Around this same time, SKM finally managed to contact the players. He confirmed that he was indeed within the Parallelos - a location that is usually very dark. However, when viewed through a camera, it takes on a distorted green appearance - as seen in recent Silentdork uploads. Though SKM seems to be his usual self, the Parallelos has definitely taken a toll on him. He's currently dwelling in a small camp he's set up in the woods next to a strange building that he's stealing wi-fi from. It's believed that this building actually belongs to the Rune Entity - mainly due to various runes scattered around and also the fact that the "IIIII" account is logged into its wi-fi connection. Interestingly, SKM claims he's seen several people coming and going from the Rune Entity's building. Sadly, SKM himself can't get too close to it - doing so gives him a headache.

SKM is also next to a large highway just beyond the woods. These are implied to be the "Paths" that Tyler will be tasked with walking. However, just like with the Rune Entity's building, getting too close to it causes SKM to get a headache. SKM also encountered two entities within the Parallelos. The first was a girl who casually spoke to SKM inside his mind - possibly Erika. The second was a malicious flannel-wearing entity who spoke in several voices - possibly Tenebris. SKM also mentioned a magical exclamation - "IO". This seems to be a vocalization of the "ᛇ" rune, which holds connection to the five lines - "ᛇᛇᛇᛇᛇ". Unfortunately, the players' conversation with SKM was cut short due to the sudden submission of the "Elegy of Emptiness"...

Afterwards, BUP contacted the players once again. Here, he finally revealed a bit more about his identity, claiming that he was somehow "IIII" layers of Greth. This implies that BUP is actually an alternate version of Greth similar to how "IIII" is an alternate version of Tyler. However, it can also be assumed that BUP is somehow connected to every alternate version of Greth in existence. BUP then challenged the players to a game - specifically a game of "Dungeons & Dragons". This game sprawled across three separate continuities and worlds - each contained within their own "Dream Bubble". While most of this game's story was completely self-contained and fictional, two entities within it were actually real - Yuukichan and Pumpkinhead. As a reminder, Pumpkinhead is indeed a canon entity - however, Wolfcat's depiction and actions as him during the Pumpkinhead Gamejack were not.

It seemed as though Pumpkinhead was trying to capture Yuukichan. Thankfully, the players had a method of helping her escape - Munnin. Munnin was a "Raven Spirit" that existed within a small "Raven Figurine". Munnin implied that Yuukichan's spirit would have to somehow be inserted inside of the "Raven Figurine" before the whole thing is somehow transferred over to the real world. Interestingly, the "Raven Figurine" featured a rune that was reminiscent of the Amiibo symbol. This implies that the real world version of the "Raven Figurine" may be an Amiibo - a small figurine sold by Nintendo that can store electronic information and add extra content to certain video games.

However, the Dungeons & Dragons game is derailed as The Producer suddenly takes it over, transforming it into an interactive webcomic reminiscent of "Weenie-Licked" - the player Wolfcat's old webcomic. Here, the players spoke with a comic version of Tyler who claimed that he had recently been to some sort of anime convention - one that he describes as an "eye-opening" experience. Afterwards, the players go to visit someone named Erik. This is presumably meant to represent the player Wolfcat, as his real name was also Erik. However, Erik seems to be missing. In his place is a spirit trapped within a glass bottle and a "Nine of Clubs" card.

The players then began speaking with The Producer directly. He gave them some hints regarding the nature of his identity. However, he was cut short when BUP suddenly returned and angrily ended the Dungeons & Dragons game entirely. While doing so, he implied that his very existence is dependent on him antagonizing the players - possibly explaining why he's so adamant on fulfilling the role of "A bad guy". Afterwards, Munnin contacted the players one more time before going dormant. Here, Munnin implied that the concept of three lines - "III" - is partially related to sleep and dreams. He also transformed himself into an egg-like object, telling the players to keep him safe... Unfortunately, Yuukichan and Pumpkinhead's current status is unknown.

The players had quite a bit to stew on. They eventually noticed that the various members of BUP's group all seemed to hold connections to the ARG's GM's. The Rune Entity was an alternate Tyler. BUP was an alternate Greth. TheLaw looked and acted very similar to Dawn. The Producer looked and acted very similar to Wolfcat. This could possibly link to how they somehow hold extended meta-related knowledge of the ARG... While all of this was taking place, BUP also "leaked" some important information - one that seemed to imply that some sort of fusion between Vincent's Astral and Prime Timeline counterparts was going to take place. It's implied that this process is what's known as "Aggregation"...
