Based on the written words of Cuttlefish That Loves Diving's web novel, the Chinese animation series centers on Zhou Mingrui, a Chinese man who transmigrates into the body of a historian named Klein Moretti in a world similar to Victorian-era England.

After the successful transmigration, Zhou checks his temple and finds a bullet wound. He figures out that the original Klein has ended his life. Moreover, he also left a note, saying that everyone will die, including him.

Zhou (who now identifies himself as Klein Moretti) experiences several supernatural occurrences and discovers the existence of the Beyonders and Deities. The anime explores Klein Moretti's journey as the legendary Fool, as he navigates through the dangerous world inhabited by Beyonders, the orthodox and the unorthodox Churches.

As per the offline advanced screening of the series' premiere, the first two episodes will cover the 44 chapters from the original web novel's Book One, the Clown.

Therefore, the Lord of the Mysteries anime episodes 1 and 2 will focus on Zhou Mingrui's transmigration into Klein Moretti's body, and the Tarot Club Gathering incident, where he will have a chance encounter with Audrey Hall and Alger Wilson. As such, the episode will give a glimpse of the Loen Kingdom, the story's setting.

Moreover, the episodes will follow Klein's meeting with Dunn Smith and his joining of the Nighthawks as a Civilian Staff. The premiere will likely progress the story briskly, omitting several slice-of-life moments. Yet, fans can expect the episodes to focus on heartwarming moments between Klein and his younger sister, Melissa.
