"The Black Monarch"

“There’s nothing much to say about myself, except that after leaving the Devil's Playground, I truly started to see just how corrupted the world is, and as a result, I started to lose faith in the world.”

History

Glory of the Defeated

Graszton Unturnableblade makes his appearance in Glory of the Defeated, seeking to find The Bishop, as a means to remove him from his position. The story begins in a desolate, ash-covered courtyard called Meio Hadesu. Graszton walks through the ash, unperturbed by the desolation around him, contemplating the essence and betrayal of the Gods and the Bishop, who is meant to be the guide for humanity but has turned away from his duties.

Graszton's journey leads him to confront the Bishop, a being who possesses omnipresence and unlimited power across multiple universes. Despite understanding the futility of his challenge, Graszton is determined to confront the Bishop. Their encounter is marked by the Bishop's attempts to warp reality and annihilate Graszton on a molecular level, only to find that Graszton's existence transcends the Bishop's manipulations.

During the battle, Graszton transforms into Black Monarch, a form that causes the breakdown of all configurations within the Omniverse, leaving only the planet Valiance. This transformation signifies Graszton's step beyond the union of the Nothing and All Possibility, showcasing his extraordinary capabilities. Despite the Bishop's omnipotent efforts to deconstruct Graszton, he remains unaffected and stands resolute.

The narrative delves into philosophical discussions about the nature of omnipotence, the role of Gods, and the inherent flaws within the Omniverse. Graszton challenges the Bishop's understanding and control over existence, highlighting the arrogance and failures of both humanity and the Gods. This discourse reflects the deeper thematic concerns of the series, exploring the limitations of power and the quest for true understanding .

In the climax, despite the Bishop's immense power, Graszton's resilience and transcendent nature prevail. The Bishop acknowledges that Graszton has won his war against him, even if he might have lost the battle. This acknowledgment marks a significant moment in the story, emphasizing Graszton's unique place in the narrative as an anomaly to existence itself​.

Solecism

Part I

In the year 9412 A.A. (After Advent), Lamont and his brother Sincere were known for venturing across the world, waking up those who had fallen asleep. Lamont and Sincere found themselves walking through a desert, looking for a nearby town. Apparently, they had been out of work for a while, and they had been without food for days. They eventually come across a city; only to find out that there was someone who had fallen asleep within the city. They see this as a way to get some money and some food; maybe even a place to rest. However, a group known as Blue Rose appeared to fix the paradox, which they could not allow.

After the hellacious war with Blue Rose, Lamont and Sincere found themselves within New Earth City. They are still without memories. However, along with trying to find someone who has fallen asleep, the two brothers are also trying to find a place to sleep and eat at this point. Little did they know; the world of Science versus Religion was leering behind their shadows…

A little after, Lamont had gone to stay with his wife, while Sincere had gone out looking for a place to sleep.

After being caught in the War of Period and the Emerald Knights, Lamont and Sincere find themselves within New Mars City. They are now looking for the Xenogems for these gems just may be the answer to what they seek.

After finding a Xenogem, Lamont and Sincere found themselves within Lost Jupiter City, but there were still three more left to find. Their only clue is that these three gems are located at the End of Time. Somewhere outside of the physical realm, the Songstress of Time has found herself trapped within the Heart of the Aria Lostscape. Although time does not exist within this realm, she is quickly disappearing. Should she cease to exist, then the Macro Cosmos will collapse. The sands of time are running out, and someway Lamont and Sincere must find a way to save her...

Eventually, Lamont and Sincere finally gain a break from fighting and have decided to pick up where they left off; waking up those who have fallen asleep. They once again have no clues to finding what they seek, or even where to start looking…

2 years pass by since their intervention with Rose-colored World, and the two brothers still have not found what they are searching for... However, recently, increasingly large amounts of people have been falling asleep. The numbers are spreading into the centillions relatively fast. Sincere and Lamont know that they cannot possibly wake up everyone, but the number has upset the Macro Cosmos. If they do not find out the cause to this, their timeline will fold upon itself, just like the other infinite adjacent ones so far. The Macro Cosmos, or rather one of the Epitaphs plans to reset all structures of reality in order to correct the unstable balance. Lamont and Sincere have taken matters into their own hands by asking the Epitaph for some time. The Epitaph gives them 7 days; not a quantum second more or less. If they fail, all is lost.

Sincere and Lamont end up traveling back to the year when everything changed for them. It is the last period of time that they can remember. Not too long after reaching this year, they witness the storm that brought upon The End. They believe that the clue to what they are looking for will be within this timeline, but they have to find a way to stop the impending end in order to find what they seek.

One of the members of God's Vision has set the stage in motion, collapsing the former collection of infinities in order to create a stable world of pure ruin. However, with the creation of this new world and the existence of two paradoxes that supersede all contradictions, the seals on the Deus ex Machinas have been released. God's Vision has also stolen the Songstress of Time, forcing the hand of existence. Now, all modes of existence are subtracting, multiplying, and dividing themselves by 0. God's Vision has a masterful plan in play, but something has materialized that has changed all plans. Sincere has become a victim, falling asleep.... Lamont becomes determined to end this war and save his brother before he disappears, along with their memories.

Part II

Part IV

In "Solecism IV," Lamont Heartfelt Vanity, along with his brother Sincere, continues his quest through a universe riddled with metaphysical challenges and philosophical questions. The year is 7703 S.O. (Star Ocean) in the Crying River Calendar, marking a period where universal phenomena have begun to disappear, causing the modes of existence to collapse. Lamont and Sincere's journey is fraught with betrayal, existential dilemmas, and the relentless pursuit of abstract truths.

Lamont's story unfolds against a backdrop where people have begun to fall asleep again after a decade of respite. This recurring cycle of waking and sleeping parallels the brothers' ongoing struggle to find their sister and the Nine Themes of God. The universe itself seems to be unraveling, with the release of the Lights of Creation and the collapse of abstract truths such as the 12 Universal Laws.

Major Conflicts

1. Betrayal and Trust Issues: Lamont and Sincere grapple with betrayals from those they once trusted. This includes dealing with the treachery of Estellise and others who manipulate them for their own ends. These betrayals add layers of complexity to their mission, forcing them to question their allies and their own motives.
2. Temporal Manipulations and Reality Warping: The brothers face adversaries who can manipulate informal time and reality, leading to convoluted battles that challenge their perception of reality. These conflicts highlight the fluid nature of time and existence in their universe.
3. Quest for the Lights of Creation: Preventing the release of the Lights of Creation is central to their mission. Each released light brings new challenges and adversaries, making their journey increasingly perilous and existentially challenging.

Pharos of the End

Lamont returns in the chapter "Enter the Storm III" in the 3rd volume of Pharos of the End II. He reunites with his brother, as the two discuss what they've been up to. The two shared a large laugh as they had fully tricked every cosmic ensemble that they had ventured through till this point. The brothers reveal that a large majority of their story had been staged on a critical level in order to reach The Art Gallery in order to gain The Black Universe. As the substitute of creator of Heir to the Stars, Lamont demonstrated that he possessed power over all the stories written till that point. Unfortunately, their victory was short experienced as Xeranthemum made an actual appearance before two brothers, fully removing them from ever being...

Continued Story...

In Eternityscape M, The Black Monarch was confronted by one of the royal guards of ♠The Ace of Spades♠ - X56S. While the battle is unwritten, it ended in The Black Monarch's victory. Later, he is seen as Teardrop comes together, with The Black Monarch taking the role of leader.

(Substitute) ♠The Ace of Spades♠

The Black Monarch was chosen by ♠The Ace of Spades♠ to be the Supreme Creator of the Heir to the Stars Cosmology for a period. However, we only really saw his reach extend to the 1st and 2nd Floors. However, his authority was undeniable at this point.

Powers and Abilities

*This is Graszton through the Glory of the Defeated books

Meta Material Structure: The Bishop completely warped the fabrics of reality, rearranging the molecular structure of Graszton Unturnableblade, only to realize that Graszton Unturnableblade’s subatomic structure was many levels higher than infinite levels and infinite subsets and supersets of the Absolute Infinite that he had authority over.

Reality Warping Immunity: He was shown to be completely immune to the reality-warping of The Bishop, who had just completely warped the fabrics of reality, rearranging the infinite Omniversal structure and its complete infinite levels and infinite subsets and supersets of infinity. Matter, mass, energy, time, space, constants, and laws were all rearranged to his will without any effort at all. Graszton was completely unaffected.

Meta Durability: Graszton was completely unaffected by the pure destruction of Creation. The Bishop mentally condensed all Omniversal possibilities into a single occurrence, causing a violent burst of energy surpassing the Absolute Infinite, completely breaking down the actuality of Graszton Unturnableblade. However, he remained completely unaffected, literally shrugging off the attack.

Powers and Abilities II

*This is Lamont through the Solecism books

Lamont Heartfelt Vanity is an observer anomaly who can wield power from a higher dimension, above The All.

Inverted World: Lamont Heartfelt Vanity has an ultimate defense known as Inverted World (or Spiritual Interference / Quantum Entanglement). Through this defense; up and down, left and right as well as forward and backward are opposite. It is not just the sense of direction that is changed; all senses and vectors are also inverted. The effects of a target that targets him on a physical, mental and spiritual level are also inverted. It's similar to that of a mirror. His ability involves quantum entanglement, which is a form of quantum superposition. However, he carries a dual existence that manipulates the inverted world automatically onto him. Through his ability, he is virtually untouchable.

• Lamont's paradoxical reality is unique, as he exists in a dual existence. The other half of his existence exists outside of time and space; outside of the fabrics of reality.
• However, it seems that beings who utilize effects that are not of THE ALL are able to bypass his Inverted World.

Enhanced Resistance: When the strings of reality tried to unweave Lamont, reality itself proved to be ineffective against him.

Enhanced Endurance: Even when his powers are deactivated, he is able to endure attacks with an infinite amount of force behind them, as well as attacks with more than an infinite amount of force behind them.

Quantum Jumping: Lamont has shown the ability to quantum jump across a centillion amount of universes in a quantum frame of time.

*This is Lamont during Pharos of the End.

The Black Monarch was hailed as ♠The Ace of Spades♠ at this point, solely governing over The Art Gallery, and fully encompassing The Mainfold.

Powers and Abilities III

*This is Lamont through the Continued Story arc. By the end of this arc, Lamont's power had jumped to the zenith of Heir to the Stars.

Beyond the Identity: When the Possibility, Totality, and Nothingness of The Black Monarch was cut down; completely sliced in actuality and potentiality of that which is forever the largest article conceptualized and imagined by any mind, and going even deeper, transcending and slashing down that which cannot even be imagined and conceptualized by any mind – the very essence of The Black Monarch, he was able to maintain his "Self".

Beyond Deus ex Machina: When the origin of all definitions where absolutely anything is possible was cut down, turning The Black Monarch into a simple impossibility within and outside of the Context and Paratext of the Story / Plot / Verse, The Black Monarch caught the effect.

True Supraexistence

Lamont Heartfelt Vanity exists as an Inverted World (or Spiritual Interference / Quantum Entanglement). Because of the fact that the effects of a target that targets him on a physical, mental, and spiritual level are inverted, he is similar to that of a reflection principle. He exists as a reflection principle encoded with quantum entanglement, which is a form of quantum superposition.

This means that he is constantly reflecting Possibility and Nothingness back onto itself, literally forcing principles and concepts back onto themselves. This is very dangerous, as he is constantly removing Totalities from ever being... He has to constantly reflect on himself, or he could cause irreparable damage to the Heir to the Stars Cosmic Ladder, which will gain the attention of some unwanted foes.

The Existence "Beyond the Beyond" of The Black Monarch

The Black Monarch is the phenomena behind the principle of Lamont.

The Black Monarch makes his first appearance in the Glory of the Defeated series.

The Black Monarch makes his second appearance in Solecism. This timeless entity with limits unable to be comprehended by the union of NOTHING and ALL POSSIBILITY encompassed all modes of existences and nonexistence; all modes and attributes of possibilities, potentialities, and actualities within all different states of existences. The Black Monarch easily erased Nero Crimsonwing from all states of existence and nonexistence. A temporal misalignment shifted the balance of the entire space-time continua. The Black Monarch noticed it and easily corrected the misalignment. The Black Monarch warned his brother that he never truly saw him there, and whatever he was seeking was something better left not known. The Black Monarch faded away into a stardust memory, leaving Lamont to materialize from the scattered stardust.

The Black Monarch returns in Solecism IV, when Lamont shows that he has full access to his transformation, which leads the events of betraying his brother and joining God's Will. He later encounters his sister, Goddéss, but proves to be no match for her power.

The Black Monarch returns in Pharos of the End, reigning as the Supreme Being of the Suggsverse.

In Solecism - Rajashekhara (Heir to the Stars III), The Black Monarch appeared before Zendymion Hadespride, making its official first appearance in chronological feats. This was the advent of The Black Monarch, as The Black Monarch, appearing in this moment, started shattering the realm of Cataphysics by sheer presence…and as for Zendymion Hadespride…there was never any trace of her being…

Pendulum Kingbreaker

Pendulum Kingbreaker is the phenomena behind the principle of The Black Monarch. This is activated by needing to surpass himself in order to reach his True Identity... True Self... True Signature...

He is beyond the necessity of any definition/essence of Omni.

The very design of Pendulum Kingbreaker (Lamont Heartfelt Vanity) is shown to represent that he has now surpassed all categories within Heir to the Stars. Heir to the Stars itself is nothing but a part of him. Unfortunately, he still doesn't exist at a level that is able to utilize Ambreaus Ӕther.

Trivia

• Lamont Heartfelt Vanity was selected by ♠The Ace of Spades♠ to be his temporary replacement, while The Ace of Spades searched for a true successor.
• Lamont was once married to Sissi Torres and Angelica Heavensend (whom he had Hope Vanity with), but yet both events and recollection of information never existed. His brother altered the probability of erasing his memories and the event of the first, and Lamont personally erased the events of the second (although Angelica retained the memories).
