Entry Title: [Traveler] — The Wandering Reciter
Compiled by: [Blue Archivist]
Access Level: Public — Verified
Classification: Z Ranked Reciter | Sea of Fragments Explorer | Creator of Artificial Fragments
Overview:
The [Traveler] is one of the most legendary figures in the Story World. A Z Ranked Reciter, he is regarded by many as the strongest and most accomplished Reciter alive, rivaled only by [Informant Z], a fellow Z Ranker and Council of Eight member.
While [Informant Z] is revered for information mastery and formal structure, the [Traveler] is infamous for unpredictability, elegance, and power. His reputation is built not just on Recitations, but on exploration, innovation, and his mythical presence across the Sea of Fragments.
Appearance & Personality:
The [Traveler] appears as a man in his forties, with short silver hair, a thick beard, and a signature blue coat. He carries himself with a charming and refined demeanor, often described as "classy," even when navigating the wildest edges of uncharted Fragments.
Though a Reciter, he behaves more like a Player, rarely staying in one place or repeating the same tale twice. He's seen most often traversing the Sea of Fragments, charting paths no one else dares to walk.
Exploration: Sea of Fragments
The [Traveler] is one of the few who regularly dives into the unknown, searching for unregistered and undiscovered Fragments. Due to the infinite nature of the Sea, he and our own organization — the Blue Trade — both agree that what is known of the Fragments barely scratches the surface.
His findings have shaped entire industries, and each of his Fragment discoveries becomes a storm of interest in the Information Markets.
Recitations:
While the [Traveler] has only a handful of official Recitations, each is considered a masterpiece. His style is fluid, gripping, and deeply immersive, often blending elements of realism, emotion, and theatrical structure in ways other Reciters struggle to emulate.
His works dominate best-seller charts across our Information Markets, and their limited number only adds to their value.
Notable Achievements:
🛤 The Final Express
Perhaps his most famous creation, the Final Express is a traveling Fragment-train that carries Players between Fragments.
But this is no ordinary transportation — it transforms a simple journey into an epic saga, helping Players become the focus of Reader attention and rise to legend status. It is often said:
"No one rides the Final Express and returns a nobody."
Every Player who's ever boarded has become a known name across the Story World.
🏰 The Dark Castle Series
The other great innovation of the [Traveler] is the creation of the Dark Castle Series, a line of the first known artificial Fragments. Unlike natural Fragments, these are man-made by the [Traveler] himself, though the method remains a tightly held secret.
Despite efforts from the Reciter Academy, the Blue Trade, and major guilds, no one has yet deciphered how artificial Fragments are created.
The structure of a Dark Castle Fragment includes:
Test Administrators — Reciters in training.
Rulers — Fully licensed Reciters who manage the artificial fragment.
Challenges — Carefully designed trials that test storytelling, decision-making, and narrative resistance.
The Reciter Academy has reached an agreement with the [Traveler] to use his Dark Castles for training purposes, allowing their Reciter trainees to act as Test Administrators and gain real-world experience within his framework.
Final Notes:
There is much more to be learned about the [Traveler]. From whispered rumors of his origins to theories about his ties to the Sea of Fragments itself, his legacy continues to expand.
