Progress Report and New Update (7k+ words)
Okay, before anything; Patreon recently changed the way the "Create" button works and I fucking hate it
Back to business
This was a total overhaul to what I had in the original draft for this branch and I fucking love it. I as able to sneak in foreshadowing bits, characters, plotlines, rumors, and more here and there.
If it wasnt for how much fun it was, I wouldve gotten depressed cause i felt like this was slow even though it was 7k in 10 days! It was just alot of extra work involved here, with numerous threads complicating things for me, and the fact i was literally working on it in little spurts every couple hours haha, but like i said: it was fun as fuck.
Plus I got to have a lil bit of food porn written, thanks to Monster Hunter Wilds clips ive seen haha
https://youtu.be/0FqSyhrSJUI?si=xy0GcJvsxxFUYTi9 < Monster Hunter Wilds food cutscene (Have any of yall ever genuinely tweaked out and got angry that someone else was eating good food??? Cause i got heated, ngl)
The biggest thing I want you guys to know tho, I'm releasing this only because I want consistent updates for you guys! But it remains unfinished with about 2k words missing. Thankfully, i was able to finish two of the four gossip tours
It's especially needed since the third choice deals with the conversations of Templars, Belthean nobles, and a Kayzack diplomat. (day one readers should know why this is significant)
The fourth choice will deal with the Kin's Hero-Ancestor, Arava. I feel like I need to do a proper job with these two since they're very important, especially since one is very important to Zera.
After that the easiest and most linear exploration branch will be left. The execution of Lord Trendel, the slaver that we meet in Uriel's route.
It'll also be the shortest.
Then... there'll only be the epilogue of our childhood left. This will be about 10k words long, and will at last open up the three upbringing routes!!!
PS for Patreons: Your update link will be in the community chatrooms if you're on the Knight, Templar, and Imperial Monarch tiers

Flame I’ve always wanted to know, did Adelina’s sisters USED to hate/bully her or do they STILL hate her ? I only asked because of the fact that Adelina is in communications with them (referring to asking them about teachers for MC) even though there’s supposed to be bad blood. I just made the assumption that there would be 0 communication UNLESS it was something MAJOR that needed to be discussed.
Wassup bro! They no longer hater thanks to distance and time. They used to. Buuuuut that hate may come back once we start stunting on our cousins and our maternal grandma laughs in their face hahaha But as of right now in the story, relations are mended, and tensions cooled as everyone has families now
Will there be an update to the free demo?😇
Yes! I wanted to originally update the free demo at 100k words lol, but I changed my mind and ive decided to release it when the childhood arc is effectively "over" since im following a new design philosophy of creating arcs with epilogues. Once the childhood arc's epilogue is done (this is TWO MORE UPDATES) I'll release to the public so everyone can take a look at what ive done with the Great Rewrite lol After the Childhood Arc, it'll be the Upbringing Arc where you can choose one of three routes that ends with the climatic Caravan Attack + epilogue. I'm calling it the Upbringing Arc, but I honestly think fans will simply call it the Caravan Attack Arc haha There's been MANY changes, some of them extreme. I just hope everyone thinks theyre good changes, thankfully, my supporters here have loved em!
OOOOOO DAAAAAAANG!!! Gods, this sounds hella fun!!! Wasn't expecting it of this path! Gotta dive in!! 🤩
I always try to make things fun or interesting with the routes and paths, cause otherwise wtf is the point, yanno? The original version felt lacking, so im happy this came about instead. Plus, I feel like eavesdropping when people are eating makes alot of sense
So the was the small beta version. And then the alpha version. And now there's the compass expanse north and south and west and east. Will you be combining all 3 or making a fourth version of them all together? What can we expect if you are combining them into one ?Cause their are great parts in all versions that every loves and keeps us drawn in.
I thought I answered you lol, my bad bro! Of course I'm going to try and merge 'em all together! It's just that I had to go through two separate iterations in order know how to proceed since I want this to be a HUGE game. It's "slow", but only because it's slow in relation to other works with way faster storytelling but with shorter word counts. I want this to be one of the biggest Hosted Games titles ever! Anyways, yeah my man, I'll try to merge where I can so long as it works and doesnt hurt the pacing
So I did the randomtest script, it passed 100 iterations. But if you guys find any bugs or such, please lemme know and ill patch em on my break day tomorrow. Love ya guys! <3
I just hope the majority are all combined and connected in a way we all live with everything we love.
Where? Discord or here? Bc the general chat isn’t showing up for me 🥲😅🥲
Yanno what, ill put it on discord too,, so dumb of me to not put it there as well
