Debug 7 with brute force
If I’m not mistaken, it’s 9. So, eight or seven are very nice damage, but some paths also inflict more damage against you. The only path that gets you nine also heavily wounds you.

DEBUG:8 This number indicates how grave the damage you inflicted to Asterius were. If you could communicate me this number, it would help me, and also you can compare how well you did with the other readers :3
I don’t think it’s possible to deal 9 damage by the way, 8 is the max.

I got debug 8. Looking forward to more.
Will the MC learn to use magic spells/enchantments? Also will it ever be possible to learn holy/light magic like templars? It would be amusing to see people react to an undead using holy magic
Debug 6. Danggit! But very nice fight scene! I loved it!

Magic, yes. But not usual magic, the Wight King is not a mage, they haven’t been teached to use it. They have an innate understanding of primal magic. During their life the Wight King was always magically active, but magic manifested late into them and it took the form of a powerful but very rough use of it. At first, they could only use their magic to enhance themselves as a warrior.
Holy magic is typically unusable by the undead, it would be counter-nature.

Is the berserk ability a part of your magic? Will you have any sort of ability that can match Asterius
Your revision is coming along nicely, the fighting scenes writing is top notch! Although I didn’t quite understand to what stat apply “fast movement” choises. Skill?
Another thing I wondered is if in future chapters you could play as a merciful char without leaving a ton of corpses in your wake? 
The ruthless and more neutral paths are a blast to play though.
Not sure if you want typos, but here you go anyway:

British english forms are intentional, I presume?

I don’t think you can be merciful when they keep attacking you. My MC was very diplomatic and let the survivor go (and also didn’t kill that girl) but I still killed a whole lot of templars. And fast attacks are based on the power stat I think, basically power means your physical abilities (strength, speed etc) and skill means outsmarting your enemy, throwing things, using distractions etc

Ah, alright. That makes sense then, stats wise.
Yeah, at the beginning of the book, I’m okay with that. What I wonder about is later down the line, maybe you’ll begin to find ways to tactically avoid large violent confrontations and/or use some other methods to achieve your goals. Not sure if it’ll go well with the theme, but who knows.

Asterius is very powerful paladin, but certainly not the most powerful of the order. Where he shines is tactics, strategy, and all aspects of leadership as a whole. The Wight King, on the opposite, is a champion, a warrior without equal that could destroy entire batallions in an instant, not only that, but their upbringing gave them a very unique take of the battlefield, war is to them as natural as breathing, they are a born commander but not used to leading entire armies.
So, in a one on one, the Wight King would have the advantage later in the story. But in term of strategic might, they are outclassed, Asterius is just too skilled for the Wight King to oppose him with usual tactics.
Asterius’ weakness is the Wight King’s unique way of fighting and leading, he’s used to facing great commanders, not natural warriors.
The berserk ability is a side-effect of an event in the Wight King’s path.
Glad that you people like it.
When it comes to the use of sheer ability, for example “who jumps the furthest?” it’s power. But if it’s technical, like climbing, subtle movements, feints, it’s skill.
Yes. It will be possible to have a more merciful Wight King, but it doesn’t mean that it will always be possible. You simply can’t spare everyone.
Yeah. Thank you for that. Since English is not my native language it helps a lot.
Yes. I used to switch all the time from american to british english when writing, so as a way to avoid this, as it could be confusing for natives, I chose to write in british forms since it’s closer to french.

Highly recommend Vampire the Masquerade blood lines and the unofficial patch mod. I also played with a enb that made the night a little darker.

Debug 7 for me o/
I’m playing a noble demon, sparing the weaklings who want to live, staying true to my word, but also killing anyone stupid enough to still attack me.
