-In the stories about the Watchmaker in Penacony, he always possesses a unique insight that allows him to easily discern business opportunities beneath the dreamy bubbles, and create grandiose enterprises that none have thought of.+In the stories about the Watchmaker[(Mikhail Char Legwork, who was a Nameless)] in Penacony, he always possesses a unique insight that allows him to easily discern business opportunities beneath the dreamy bubbles, and create grandiose enterprises that none have thought of.
  
 The frontier prison earned its freedom amidst the Cancer of All Worlds, and welcomed peace and prosperity under the radiance of The Family. It is said that was when the Watchmaker entered the fray. His eyepiece reflected the essence of this Dreamscape — People spend like wastrels in the Moment of Dusk only to "seek the impossible in dreams." From then on, Penacony's dreams started to contain many incredulous objects: Teapots that can tell jokes, race cars that twirl as they drive, and mansions that switch their location every day... Most of them are utterly useless, however they are being sold at astronomical prices. And those who visit from afar are willing to toss mountains of cast for them. The frontier prison earned its freedom amidst the Cancer of All Worlds, and welcomed peace and prosperity under the radiance of The Family.

 +In the various legends in Penacony, the Watchmaker has very diverse identities and appearances.
 +
 +In these rootless fables, he is sometimes a kind of old gentleman, an elegant lady, and even a giant gentleman hundreds of feet tall... however, no matter the version of the story, he is always magnificently dressed.
 +
 +Legends say that the Watchmaker will share his secret with his dance partner at the Dreamscape where dusk and dawn intertwines. Hearing this, people eagerly join the dance floor and invite every single mysterious guest hidden in the lavishly-dressed crowd — More and more Dreamchasers meet each other in this way and the ball eventually becomes a place to socialize for friendships and love. The expensive tickets are always sold out upon release. Even if the master dressed to the nines from legends never appeared, it did not hinder the passion with which the guests sought an encounter with him.
 +
 +"Your outfit... could you be the famous Watchmaker?" This question went from what was initially a genuine query to an expression of flattery, finally becoming a code phrase for an invitation to dance.
 +
 +The Watchmaker gained a new business of hosting balls, and the Dreamscape had an extra dash of romance and passion added to it.

 +
 +The Watchmaker has trodden over every inch of the Dreamscape and also across the annals of Penacony's history. His name has been talked about for centuries in this land of the dreams, and Dreamchasers of today can still hear of his whereabouts.
 +
 +People start to suspect whether the Watchmaker is one person, a group, or a lie woven by The Family.
 +
 +Some Dreamchasers swear to unveil the truth about the Watchmaker. They head to various Dreamscapes to seek traces of the mysterious mogul, only to gain nothing but migraines — A mysterious guest at a certain business negotiation, a masterless brand that soared into unexpected success, a huge investment with no traceable source... Every time they try to deduce that the Watchmaker does not exist, they are proving that the Watchmaker is everywhere in the dream.
 +
 +Books about the Watchmaker fill the bookshelves in the Primal Waking Library. His name forever envelops Penacony.
 +
 +The more people want to discover the truth, the more they will be blinded by lies... Amidst the thousands of legends and rumors, this superstar of the festivities will only leave his footprints, but never his face.
