Episode 6:

The devouring, huh? I wonder ig'f that's what's happening to Main. Tbh I'm still trying to figure out if Main's spirit killed the original Main, switched places, or fused.

Feel bad for Lutz. This is such a stiff world where nothing fresh ever happens and you don't even have much say in what you want to do. Although I thought maybe craftsmanship is great for Lutz, because he can be the one to build all the crazy devices Main tells him about. That's more interesting than most jobs, I'd guess.

Also Otto, lol, get a grip on yourself lol

That's what the world used to be, more or less. In the towns, you had to be a member of a guild to have a profession where you weren't strictly serving someone. To become a member of a guild, you needed to be a master's apprentice for however long it took to learn the craft and pass the master's exam. Of course there were some schools as well, but those were often tied to the church in one way or another and/or required money/sponsor, so they were academic institutions for the elite. Becoming an apprentice, servant, soldier, sailor etc. was serious business because vagrants were not often tolerated by the law at all, at least officially.

For Lutz it was great his background was such because it means he actually can make stuff for Main, for the time being. Assuming he manages to become a merchant, he can merely supervise the production or subcontract it, in order to have stuff to sell. That's what he wants to do.
