[A majority of the information regarding the artifact has been changed.]
[The artifact has significantly changed according to the newly-edited information. Please read the description for more information.]
Regarding how common it was for the descriptions of artifacts to change, the descriptions didn't usually change unless the artifact was strengthened or the user went through additional training. It was rare for the description to change, because the information was firmly embedded in the system.
Yeon-woo couldn't help but be surprised as a result of this modification, because he hadn't really done anything out of the ordinary to the Cast of the Black King. It seemed it had changed because the Black King had sensed him...but Yeon-woo had no idea what the newly-edited information would be.
'Just how much of it changed?' Yeon-woo quickly scanned through the information window.[Cast of the Black King]
[Category: Set]
[Rank: Unmeasurable]
[Description: TheãGreat Fatherã, the king and god of the supernatural beings who ruled over the civilizations and planets in all universes since the beginning of time, came to a realization one day. 'I am asleep.' The Great Father continued to think, 'There are beings who put me to sleep.'
The Great Father trembled in fury from the ??? who betrayed him, and he began to resent the Heavenly Demon for putting him in this pathetic state. Despair, grief, and fury are the emotions that now move the Great Father, who is preparing to awaken. The Casts that he sent to his successors are all holy artifacts that symbolize him'”the manacles his soul, the fetters his death, and the pillory his darkness.]
[*Soul Dominator
All souls that the user killed or died as a result of the user will be branded. The branded souls will be recognized as the user's possessions, and the user has authority over them. The souls cannot be free until the brand disappears, and even if the souls go through reincarnation, the user's influence will remain. Depending on the proficiency of the user, the amount of branded souls the user can possess will increase. At times, the user will be able to restore some of the souls' strength from when they were alive and give them free will.[*Blackening
An enhanced form of Black Hexagram. The bound souls can be used to transform magic power into properties of darkness. Darkness is a more fundamental property than blackness, and this was only able to be seen before the beginning of time.
The user's affinity with the properties will increase with the number of souls the user uses. The magic power that is transformed during this time will buff allies and plant fear and horror into enemies. Then, a randomly chosen curse will enforce a great tragedy upon the enemies.]
[*Void Operation
A part of the void that belongs to the world's backend can be summoned to the current world. However, this emptiness that is filled with disorder and chaos can swallow its user, so the user must use it with care.]

'Everything has changed to first person...to the Black King's viewpoint.' Aside from the significantly different information, the descriptions that had all been in third person were now directly stating the Great Father's emotions. Yeon-woo continued to think, 'That's what the otherworld gods called the Black King.'
Yeon-woo then wondered if the ???s who betrayed the Black King were the otherworld gods, but that didn't make sense. 'I still don't know why the gods and demons of death reject the otherworld gods, who are also followers of the Black King.'
With the birth of the Heavenly Demon, the world was divided into order and disorder, as well as balance and chaos. Yeon-woo assumed there had been a division among the Black King's followers during this time as well, but it was only an assumption. He wasn't certain of anything. It was why he didn't think the ???s were the otherworld gods or the gods and demons of death. It could be a third party who wasn't revealed yet, or some conceptual gods and elder gods who hadn't shown themselves.
Yeon-woo was only certain that, if the Black King awoke and the world met its end, all these beings would be affected by it. From what Yeon-woo had seen until now, the Black King wasn't someone to forget about a grudge. Although he was made up of only a concept, at his center was a blazing heap of emotions, just like the names of the three Casts.
'This is probably evidence that the Black King is finally waking from his deep slumber and having consciousness.' Yeon-woo thought about how the information about the Casts was enhanced, and how other things were omitted or combined. For example, the disappeared First Spirit and Summon of the Soul options had likely been combined into the Soul Dominator option. Aside from that, the rank, which had been marked with question marks before, was now shown as 'unmeasurable.' The quality of the souls he could take was now different as well. Before, he had to use a large number of souls to promote them to a 'spirit' status, but there was no need to do that anymore.
'I don't know what the Sea of Time did, but it's now guaranteed that the Black King is slowly opening his eyes.' After Allforone was killed and the Tower was crushed, Yeon-woo knew that the Black King would fully awaken. With those thoughts in mind, Yeon-woo arrived at the next location.
