A Tale of Heroes (WIP) - 224k words. Updated 29/01/2025!

She probably isn’t gonna be a RO I think. But we are getting a new one in book 2 sometime in the future if the plans haven’t been scrapped.

At this point with the story demo and seeing the future possible plans for Seeker, it does seem like AToH is really just “A Tale of Seeker: How the Biggest Drunk Gets Everything”

Bro not lying the mc is FRIED!

No matter how strong seeker is they are still only one person they cannot be everywhere or do everything by themself even if they wanted too. I mean you can see this in game already in chapter 5 if it was just seeker or just the trio most of those world leaders and far more of the city would’ve been destroyed. Also keep in mind the MC and Lat have been doing thing whole hero thing for only a few months, and they only had their powers for a few months as well so all that considered they are doing pretty freaking well, and they are only getting stronger and more competent as time passes.

Victorias gonna join in later apparently and she’s supposed to be even more busted than Seeker. They’re literally gonna be able to handle everything thing pretty much.

There’s a big thing about that though. Seeker might not be able to handle anything like V since Forlorn said at one point in Japan that Seeker isn’t at 100%, it’s like he was never meant to be Seeker. Sounds like a wrong person at the right time and place so I’m guessing V had enough of being a Seeker and picked the next person she saw and went “yeah this dude is gonna be Seeker so I can finally quit doing this shit”

Victoria and Seeker we’re together and she trained him I’m pretty sure. Also he’s not at full strength now, but when Victoria comes back then they’ll have no issues with anything tbh.

Considering what we do know of V this far, she’s an extremely irresponsible person that doesn’t care about anything aside from Kratis. But I’m betting those two, despite all of the Sun, Moon and Stars bullshit, they’re going to be curbstomped at some point.

And there’s the other MC thing that constantly insist that we train to be stronger than Kratis too. Lat has a similar situation as well.

Yeah but I find it hard to believe the MC getting stronger than Victoria ever happening and if they get beat then the MC has no chance.

This us while Seeker and Victoria beat the bad guy :person_standing:

See that’s where I gotta disagree. The MC already proved themselves to be somewhat of a prodigy, learning how to fight in several different styles in a span of few weeks. That kind of knowledge would take years just to get the hang of but somehow with Seeker’s sparring and Forlorn’s advice, they were able to do it.

With more time spent on training and getting experience, they probably could go toe to toe with Kratis or V 1v1 in the far future.

BK? Lmfao. No one could beat BK even with the info we have on him either.

You can mod the game and put yourself at 100 everything if you want and you’ll be the strongest, except narratively it won’t change anything, which makes it awesome because it means the game doesn’t even need modding to be enjoyable

I don’t understand how the Mc is still mentally fine
:face_with_monocle:

I’ve sort of touched upon this on the blog, so I’ll more or less say here what I said there:

It is undeniable that Seeker and Victoria (and Forlorn and Ignis) are stronger than the MC. That’s not really up for debate, they’d win any direct clash.

The problem is that neither Seeker nor Victoria are particularly great leaders. They’re strong, sure, and there’s an inherent value in turning ‘the undefeatable’ into a symbol, but that doesn’t mean they are really the people to follow. Kratis and Victoria work well with each other, and they only really care about each other. Victoria’s actions are wholly dictated by what she believes and wants, the idea of compromising is one that is very, very hard to convince her the need of.

Were this a regular old fisticuffs Dragon Ball Z narrative, then that wouldn’t matter. They’re shonen protagonists, and thus the only real obstacle is punching the opposite side really hard until they cry uncle.

This isn’t a story you ‘clear’ simply by being a shonen protagonist, or at least not one as blatantly selfish as Victoria and Seeker are. The extent of this story goes far beyond the individual fights, there are going to be literal tens of millions of moving pieces as the narrative continues, and while Seeker and Victoria and the Broken King and the Blitz Queen could slaughter a few million, that doesn’t mean they’re capable of leading them, or even willing to.

And, of course, there remains the fact that your enemy doesn’t care about Seeker or Victoria, not beyond them being obstacles.

It is the MC and Lat that are the abominations, that are the offenses to nature, that are the germs that must be stomped out lest the Gods strike them down for allowing the existence of so blatant a disregard for their designs.

Seeker and Victoria need to be defeated.

You need to be exterminated.

This is incorrect, and I think that’s partially on me.

Iris isn’t stronger than the MC. She can kill the MC.

Same way I’m not stronger than Mike Tyson, but could kill him if he was sleeping and I had a crowbar.
