Aesemyr: The Withering (WIP) [Updated 16 November 2024 - chapter 3]

Is there even a reason at all seems like she is written that way for the sake of it

Her hating you randomly without a reason would make more sense ultimately lol. King just put a sword to my neck and threatened to kill me and her only response is give me a cold glare and walk away.

So you assume there’s no legitimate reasons for her to dislike us and hate her in return, based on this assumption. How does that make you better than her ? Don’t you think the author has plans regarding the origin and the resolution for such antipathy ?

Ive been on the Tumblr, her reasons for hating you aren’t the MCs fault so no weren’t the same. I hate her because she’s an ass.

Oh, shoot. I was hoping for a sad or tragic backstory involving us. My bad. I join you in the Hating group then :sweat:.

The MCs and her used to be close and you could even have been in love with her before, but then she started distancing herself from you and now treats you with this violent hostility, for something that’s not really your fault. Was even willing to let the King kill you and glares at you after likes she upset he didn’t. Maybe after we an actual serious talk I’ll like her again, cause I do find her interesting, but she just made angry while playing.

That’s what I’ve read. To her defense, even I was willing to be put down :sweat_smile:. On my first try, I finished the demo with my head on the ground :smiling_face_with_tear:.

DUDE WHAT? Dont get me wrong i expected our team to be alive but to see the reveal of a survivor that soon is a twist i didnt expect. Also why does it gots to be an anime cliffhanger

Maybe MC really doesn’t feel like an actual main character, but I’m still very interested where you’ll take us.
I also liked how you let is annoy Valia, that reminded me of Bastila; but I think there’s too little weight to their backstory, at least for now. I’m intrigued to see how it will be developed.

You’re not as nimble as you used to be, but these old bones still remember how to fight.
Come on, mc is 28 :sweat_smile:

Is the King a dumbass just getting us killed like that after we refused (I refused and resisted :joy::joy:)? Like good luck dealing to my twin, I hope my twin brother won’t conspire with someone to destroy the kingdom :woozy_face: loving the demo thou

So since this is set in medieval times the average age back than was right around 30 maybe a little past 35. Yeah low life expectancy

ā€œOn averageā€ means that was a lot of dead kids. People lived well past 30 :sweat_smile:
But I was mostly joking, ofc.

Beautiful demo! I really want to know what the unknown stat is, which I guesstimate to be related to our use of/sensitivity to magic currently. There is great potential heartbreak in roleplaying between choosing how your familial relationships are and how you react to things as a person regardless of your closeness to family members, I love it!

Also, has the secret RO been spoiled yet? Cuz I’m so going for old team members if they are potentially one of them hahaha, maybe I’ll angst my way through saving the magical multiverse or whatever with such a potential love interest :smiley: :smiley:

Back and knee problems don’t discriminate over silly things like age :V

 
Anyways that cliffhanger was cruel, I eagerly await the upcoming angst now that we know all about the trauma-cave.

Also looks like our broken Ruun cores are going to be an entire Thingā„¢, and probably not a good one given that the ā€œUnknownā€ stat in the code is labeled Corruption.

Yeeeah. I feel like mine were old since I was born.

By the way I hope author will put more info about the whole magic system and let us play with it more. I was interested immediately when I read about the ships with ruun stones driving them.

To be fair, ā€œnot as nimble as you used to beā€ and ā€œthese old bonesā€ don’t sound like joint problems, they sound like older age.

Could be used jokingly though. Also I certainly was less nimble in 25 than I was in 15.

Can’t believe I’m so emotionally invested in two characters who I’ve known from the start of the story were already dead :')
Great writing

EDIT:

SPOILERS

LMAO I wrote this like 5 mins away from where the most recent update ended… I guess I’m happy?? But also confused if they are really alive or this is some doppelganger shitšŸ˜…
