I would love a post burning option to have a very evident turn into something approaching sister. Or hell maybe just turn into something much worse to bring judgment and fire upon those who wronged us.

My playthrough after the resurrection is that on a complete 180 change in personality
No more selfless deeds
Will not hesitate in taking lives from now on
Self preservation is the top most priority

Eh, I donāt think that is true the mc just had the misfortune of being the youngest and was therefore never given the same freedoms sister and Eli were even after ostensibly being ārescuedā. Sister basically stole the mcās inheritance and the mc could never do anything or learn anything because they were too young to get any sort of freedom back when it could have mattered.
That is true for mine too, however in the case of my mc it manifests a bit differently. He just wants to get rid of the parasites, see if there are any meaningful things the reclaim of his birth mother and then retire to Leafās End, take over the Inn and never, ever use any magic again.

Think how scary the return of the MC is for everyone
- MC is the most Pure Blooded arcadian left out there
- MC has actual birth right to rule salantira
- MC can be either the Hero of Param or the Demon of Param
- MC literally came back from death (in the views of the public)
MC has potential to rule or bring hell upon Param and Salantira

Thatās not how Salantiran government works. Salantira is run by a parliament. Nobody has āa birth right to rule Salantiraā, because nobody rules Salantira.
That dude was so freaking incompetent that he had do-whatever-you-wish magic powers and he still only mangaed to rule for decade and a half.

I see no evidence of that. The mc has been closer to a slave than a ruler of anything their entire lives.
No, though if the mc had inherited as normal and had been a good political player then, sure, they could have been nominated the ruling Duke at some point. That will never happen now though. In Salantira it never was an automatic bloodright to rule, you just need to be able to play your fellow nobles in its parliament well enough if you want to get into or even lead the government there.
The mc may have been born a noble but they have always lived more like a slave.

Yeah, valid. But Iād personally like to give him the benefit of the doubt. His death, story-wise, can be read as tragic exactly because he was supposed to be a good ruler. He took his sweet time but still moved in the right direction to right the wrongs and in comes sister to ruin the day.

Speaking of souls and mc and Eli not remembering anything during the time they were dead. Thereās spiritism and a spirit realm but not an afterlife for humans.
And thereās this:
ćThe Ishavak forgoes the concept of an afterlife, instead believing that individuals after their death are returned to a plane known as the Source, where their essence will give birth to new life through the workings of Orionć
Does anyone remember whether Thalia has said anything about the Source? If we agree with what the ishavak doctrine claims then mcās essence was supposed to what ā¦decay and fertilize new life? How did Thalia ressurect mc? Why was it possible? Was it just the body? I honestly donāt remember anything out of her explanation and have no time to replay the game anytime soon.

The only in-story mention of the Source that I can recall is from Raegusa, who tells the Arcadian magister that itās holding his soul from the Source momentarily, so they can discuss their little loophole.
Presumably thereās a period of time before youāre recycled. We just donāt have any info on the resurrection ritual other than itās extremely expensive and taxing on the caster and it appears to take about a year to cast.
I mean, itās the same MC, so definitely no.

Nice, thanks! Yeah, Iād assumed it takes a while for the decaying process to start but thatās just a presumption that can be made and not an in-game stated fact, right?
Suddenly Iām reminded of skyrim where each race had their own afterlife. Iād say that each deity in amr gets their own realm and their faithfuls personalized afterlifes but nah, I remember nothing of the sort to support that claim.

If itās stated somewhere in-game, I either donāt remember or itās in one of my paths not taken. I presume the ressurection ritual has an upper time limit, ottherwise Thalia could (and probably would) be bringing back actual Old Arcadians.
IIRC, thereās a total of three religions we know of in AMR: the Ishavak, the Jovian, and whatever is running the show at the Empire. If people DO get afterlife they believe in, I feel like there would have been something to pick what the MCās is for the afterlife scene. Otherwise, I donāt think thereās anything to sway one way or the other.

Oh, true, good point.
Hm, I could only suggest mc and Eli being deprived of that choice due to having and using arcana, therefore
automatically becoming ishaās subjects. But other nations, the overseas one at least, also seek to use arcana. Or just being descendants of the clans does the trick, hence no choice in the matter.
And then thereās Yusuha who can use both theurgy and arcana xD
You mean Eli. And probably Thalia, because ābringing people back from the deadā is probably a subset of āhealing peopleā. Yu canāt use theurgy. Or, rather, Yu hasnāt been trained in theurgy, because the Jovian Church immediately tries to murder anyone outside the Church who uses theurgy.

Wait, didnāt Yu get to heal ppl? Yu even tries to heal Eli and as far as I remember Yu just never got to finish the training and wasnāt approved by their mentor and isnāt a full fledged theurge as a result. And Eli uses an arcana to heal, hence why Eli gets to be the best at it? Sure hope Iām not mixing up different games here xD
So, due to a combination of my phone being open well I was editing some of the fanfic, my nephews sneaky little fingers, and my sister and I in the kitchen dealing with easter stuff there was some damage done to the story. Luckily however it was not major and I was able to repair the damage. As a bonus I have also given it a serious pass, considering I knocked the original out in two hours well half asleep, I think this is a decent update. Pacing is vastly improved, at least I feel it is. I have added more stuff revolving around Leon, Saine, and Ilya. Also as requested by several people, Ante is dealt with rather harshly, much to Flyssā chagrin.

Iā¦ donāt remember Yu doing any theurgic healing. When was this supposed to have happened?

yu healed eli after they rescued him. and also the kids that were taken hostage by altea and ralos.
I donāt remember this happening, but Iād have to replay to be sure. IIRC, Yu helped the big dude recover, but they did it with herbs, not theurgy. Isnāt this WHY the MC is left alone with Eli after the rescue in the first place? Because thereās not enough time to go get the herbs and then get back, so they all have to go?
This is DEFINITELY not true. Eli tries and fails to heal the kids, and then the Old Arcadian thatās in MCās mind from the Raegusa pact heals the kids.
Thatās not the snag. Itās not Yu doing the (attempted) healing, itās Eli.
