âŚYeah, birds are the extraterrestial beings in AToH.
Totally just them.
Not anyone else.

I mean, technically speaking, wouldnât the player be an alien in the MCâs brain?
You come from a different world, with a different culture and understanding of history, and you influence the MCâs actions and thoughts.
âŚTechnically speaking.

Sure, but youâre not in the MCâs the brain. You do not have any limitations on what you do with the character except what is imposed by the diversity of choices. You arenât an external force to the MC, you are in fact the MC.
Atleast, mostly. You control the MCâs actions and how they mentally, emotionally and physically respond to events, people and eviroment but cannot share or implant knowledge.

Maybe YOU canât⌠
Maybe I am possessed of special skills and can in fact do those things. Maybe I was joking. Who can say, truly?

Nope, Iâm gonna stop right here or itâll feed into my MC paranoia. You guys have seen it before and it wasnât pretty.

Oh, as a side thing, I donât have Chapter 6 done yet (but I now know every single sanction the US has ever applied from memory, which is super fun and what I totally set out to do /s), but Erineas, bless her beautiful and incredible and talented heart, has finished another piece for me, this time the one that I will have as AToHâs official icon art.
See below the cutâŚ
Unless you romance Ignis. In that case, uh, I live in Florida, or someplace equally as cursed that none of you would dare come to shoot me at.
It looks incredible. It has a lot of minor details that I didnât ask for but Erineas knew would fit and she added on her own and itâs just an incredibly beautiful piece.
She also did a Broken King x Blitz Queen version which I have on my PC and my phone right now (hahahaha, you canât get it), but youâll have to wait until Chapter 9 for me to show it to you. What I can show you is how a certain friend of mine reacted when I showed it to him, though:
Suffice it to say, Iâm quite pleased with how it turned out. If you can, go show Erineas some support, either with a follow or a like. I can assure you she more than deserves it.

No words can describe how good they are. Too bad we have to until chapter 9 to see the rest. What a tease.

Okay! So, before I go to sleep, I actually just got something that really made my night, warming me up more than my fever. 
See it here:
It was done by @Nyah, they shared it over on the Discord but their account is a little too new to post images on the forum, so they gave me permission to do it in their stead. Either way, it looks awesome, I like it a lot, and itâs the first piece of fan-art thatâs not shitpost-y that AToH has received, Iâm really happy that someone spent their time doing something like this, itâs great and Iâm happy and thanks a lot for dedicating your time to my story and the characters, you made my day.

Is this WIP still alive?

Yes. Just give the author time and they will tell their progress. This last chapter was massive so they deserve a break

Sorry, I saw this when you posted it but something came up and I couldnât answer it at the time.
But yes, AToH is still alive! It wonât ever die, I donât think, unless I am physically incapable of writing. I just get really busy periods, so I canât be giving updates or anything like that very consistently. Sorry!
That said, as I mentioned a few posts above, Iâm about to get some downtime following the second exam period, and Holy Week is right around the corner as well, so that will be writing time almost exclusively.
I donât know if I mentioned this, either, but Erineas is also working on another art piece, and this one is important, because itâll be the final page of Chapter 8.
In the meantime, just for a quick summary of what weâre going to be seeing in Chapter 6:
Congress finally starts dealing with the Cretan Republic, and suddenly the weather becomes a real bitch. Youâll be doing some at-home investigative work on the Hero-Monarchs, and weâll get to deal with the big part of Novaâs problems- at least, his Book One problems. Ignis and Seeker will be mostly in the background, the former setting up the events of Chapter 7 and (unwittingly!) the events of Chapter 8.
Oh, and if youâre romancing Aki, youâll finally get your day in court with the Major-Commander of 92nd Squadron.
Also, since weâre about to focus on Crete, have a small lore article about something that the writer knows, that Seeker knows, and that several figures also know, but the United States Government has no fucking idea about, and that they really need to have an idea about:
