Blood of the Living [Sequel to Fields of Asphodel] - Updated 7 July '25

Fun update! I did notice an error in ch.4 speaking to the fates. I didn’t get rid of my ability to receive prayers but got this:

Atropos snorts. “Whether you like it or not.”

And she’s not necessarily wrong to mention that. You’d gotten rid of your ability to receive prayers in your dreams for a good reason, after all: you don’t particularly desire to be prayed to at all. Still, you suppose it’s within your power to ignore this, and you doubt the

Ah, yeah, that’s there because the total-save import feature isn’t here yet. If you start a brand new file from character creation, you can have the game act like you still have prayers by choosing the option to have gone to Hypnos second in the save builder. (This was previously broken, hence the need for a new save).

Hello everyone!

It is now 7 July where I’m from, so the public release of Blood of the Living’s fifth chapter is here. It adds 98,000 words to the demo.

In the update, you can:

  • Have a brief encounter with someone important to Hermes
  • Spend some quality time with your RO/PO
  • Some of them may even have something important to confess
  • Maybe hang out with your parents (or just your dad, if you prefer)

I hope you all enjoy it. As always, I welcome your feedback. Have a lovely week!

Ignore me. Imma just toss about on my bed, hugging a pillow and squealing over getting to kiss my Hades. :rofl::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I am currently on another playthrough of the first book and extremely pleased to find the sequel is coming along so well.

Both the characters and the setting are very dear to me and I am fond of it in a comfort game kind of way.

If I want something that doesn’t stress me out, then I’m reading FoA.

Really looking forward to taking another try at the demo again.

happiness screaming Hades, my heart! Thank you so much for the part about courting him as well. I 1000% need to treat him as my baby girl. I desperately need to shower this precious man with flowers. Full bouquets delivered. Single ones waiting by his plate. Sooo many flower crowns made by me and Makaria. I will live off those soft smiles and huffs of laughter. Hoping I can pull a surprised blush from him as well. No one in the Underworld will have the slightest doubt about my feelings!!

Shoot, my Pyrrhos has been courting him since day one. Lol.

Also, I hope with Makaria, we’ll be able to talk to her with Hades about eventually becoming parent 2. I want her to be ok with it to, since she’s a very smart little girl.
