Stories
5Ludwig's Job
After becoming a Radiant, Ludwig discovered a brand new world, and SEED wasted no time in contacting him. Ludwig agreed with SEED's thinking, so he joined them in order to continue his research. As an information officer, he did a wonderful job in filing SEED's old data.
His name began to be known among the Radiants. Miyuki wanted to hire him to be her finance manager, but Ludwig outright rejected her.
"I can't even paste an invoice properly. I can't help you."
"Besides, my loyalty towards SEED cannot be bought over by money."
Ludwig's Relationships
Ludwig's relationship with other members is neither good nor bad. As a powerful senior, most people have basic respect for him, with a few exceptions.
Camille, the head secretary, flutters about like a butterfly whenever he comes to borrow data. He would say things like "you're looking as young as always". He's actually saying that Ludwig looks like a kid!
Kiraya and Grant are famous for their bluntness.
"Ahaha! You're really 18? But you look 13!"
"It must be hard for you to reach the top of the shelf."
They're so irritating!
Ludwig's Choice
The fact that Ludwig, who tend to look down on other people, accepted Muscipula's leader is a big news.
Victoria once asked him about this, but he just gave her a profound smile and said that Leader would be the proof of his superhuman theory. He followed Leader to observe him at close range and gather data to complete his work Superhuman Casefile.
The part Ludwig didn't say is that he is most likely the only person besides Berial who knows the Leader's true identity. Although it's just his guess for now.
Superhuman is the meaning of the earth, an alternative to God.
Nietzsche
Nietzsche called himself "Europe's most devoted nihilist". He praised the Sun and denied the meaning of everything in the human society. He believed that humans are merely a bridge between animals and "superhumans". This concept had been highly debated for centuries. But unbeknownst to the people, his unusual thinking was due to him hearing about another world in his dream. He desperately wanted to learn about the human soul and the existence of the world. After his death, he became a Lens and waited for future generations to inherit his ideas.
Link Stories
Ludwig felt that the more he learns, the more confused he is about this world.
But instead of giving up, he went on a trip in search of an answer. By chance, he discovered a strange old book in a library which looked like a diary or a notebook. It contains all sorts of uncommon writings and suspicions about the world.
Since then, Ludwig has been having the same dream every night. In the dream, there's a fuzzy figure who has his hand on his forehead and recites the content of that book. When Ludwig wakes up, he would always touch his own forehead.
Led by that book, Ludwig furiously studied and researched, until one day, a shiny Lens fell from that book into his hand, and then it disappeared.
