A living rumor document circulating among Eidolons
“You don’t learn this stuff from quest text.
You learn it from survivors.”
Most players know the story in fragments.
There was a single-elimination PvP tournament, early in Eidolon Online’s lifespan. No divisions. No matchmaking safety rails. Just raw brackets and escalating consequences. The prize pool was modest—except for one thing.
A one-time armor and sword set, unreplicable, untradeable, bound on victory.
Everyone expected NoClipSaint to win.
He didn’t.
Demonicjerk beat him in a clean final—no exploits, no disconnects, no rematch request. Witnesses still argue over how, but none argue that it happened.
After the match:
NoClipSaint was the first to kneel
Demonicjerk received the armor and sword on the spot
The tournament format was never used again
They’ve never fought seriously since.
When they cross paths now, there’s no rivalry—just acknowledgment. A nod. Sometimes a few quiet words no one else hears.
“If NoClipSaint respects you, you earned it the hard way.”
AFK_Rain is often seen idling near Aetherium’s spire, long before major events unfold.
What’s strange is not her silence—it’s what NPCs say around her.
Several vendors will casually mention:
“She stood there during the first rebinding.”
“She asked about towers before they were open.”
“She was waiting when the spire lit for the first time.”
NoClipSaint once waited beside her for nearly an hour. Neither moved. When he left, he reportedly told his party:
“She remembers things I don’t. That shouldn’t be possible.”
There’s a rumor that PatchNotes maintains a private ledger documenting:
Monster behaviors that no longer exist
Old rebinding side effects
Regions that used to connect differently
Demonicjerk is said to have consulted PatchNotes before founding Nightshine—specifically asking whether the system punishes repeated intervention.
PatchNotes’ alleged response:
“Only if the world notices you doing it.”
Nightshine formed three days later.
GraveBloom is known to approach players shortly after Desynchronization—not immediately, but before the echo fades.
She has asked questions that unsettle even veterans:
“Did you feel pulled back, or pushed?”
“Did it hurt the same way this time?”
“Do you remember the moment between?”
NoClipSaint avoids rebinding sanctuaries when she’s present.
Once, after a mass wipe, Demonicjerk was overheard telling a Nightshine recruit:
“If GraveBloom wants to talk, listen.
But don’t answer everything.”
LatencyWolf once faced NoClipSaint in an exhibition match—non-ranked, no stakes, purely for the crowd.
Mid-fight, spectators reported:
Desynced animations
Delayed hit markers
Brief UI flicker
The match was halted.
NoClipSaint laughed afterward. LatencyWolf apologized.
Demonicjerk later commented in faction chat:
“I don’t know which of them scared me more.”
Among veteran Eidolons, there’s an unspoken understanding:
NoClipSaint is what happens when someone never stops playing fair
Demonicjerk is what happens when someone chooses to act anyway
The others are… symptoms
The system doesn’t forbid them.
It doesn’t explain them.
It just lets them exist.
