It was exhilarating! Kllng those humans are satisfying. I love the storyline and the characters especially Ash. Can’t wait to meet this mysterious person and squeeze him or her until he/she is dry.

As someone who did come close to deletion by drowning , stabbing tentacles anyday .
I mean sure its painless and actually you start to feel seren at the start but then your stomach acid starts acting weird even reaching your lungs , burning you from inside seawater fills your respiratory tract and makes it feel bloated and burning and worse part if you dont pass out during the 1st phase of drowning the 2nd phase is excruciatingly painful and slow and you feel every second of it in detail and worse part? There is nothing you can do about it.
Too graphic? I’ll remove the details if it doesnt follow forum policy haha.

Hope you are doing well.
That’s why I chose the stabbing option. I think it’s more merciful and faster than the other option.

I noticed that if you make a MC that focuses only on CHA/COM or CHA/INT you end up with 20% in your tertiary stat, but if you go full INT/COM you end up with 28% CHA and with a lower sum of your two primary stats. I doubt that 28% CHA is going to help me pass any check, while having weaker primary stats could make things more difficult for an INT/COM build.
This happens because during the conversation between your grandpa and Luka your CHA increases by 10% when you pick the INT or COM option as the second choice.

@OddCatGuy @Van1llaPudd1ng Yay! 
Glad you’re trying out the different variations and love them! And thank you for the kind words!
I also enjoy writing the shadows because they act like loyal puppy sometimes 
And they are protective of MC; if only they can manifest physically by themselves without MC needing to activate their Umbrakinesis all the time, they would totally follow MC everywhere.
I love the lethal fight with the “Project”, I really felt how powerful I was, the quick work I’ve done to take them down with my two pups and the shadow claws. It was ruthless, bloody and just brutal - no mercy
to my enemies. Although it didn’t feel overpowered, few moment got me worried for my MC.
I’m glad to hear that! MC’s powers can be OP, but MC can still make mistakes sometimes 
Especially if they choose to engage in risky CQC while not adept enough in it.
I feel like most readers can immediately see what a Mythology nerd I am from those name options 
Oh, believe me, I’ll try my very damnedest to make it happen in the story 
@Cingulum_diaboli You just need at least 55 on Charisma to successfully play the entitled rich kid and flirt with the bellboy 
@Knoez @lokis_hairgel Same with the Hacking route, you need at least 50 to unlock it, but you need at least 55 to successfully hack the elevator without a hitch! 
@Non_Fat_Pizza I’ll see later on, maybe in the future. But right now, I kinda need readers to really try out and test all the variations to make sure they work right and are actually attainable by most readers
Glad you’re loving it and all the brutality 
And yes, Ash is just so supportive and cheering for MC 
Yup! I think I included it in the Chapter 2 update to make it easier to track any bugs But the wound, gravikinesis and umbrakinesis strain stats are indeed newly added!
MC might even get a discount for hiring Jackal’s service, since MC is Luka’s favorite nephew/niece/nibling Luka might get 100% discount, yeah? Also, thanks for the 5 stars 
@Nguyen_Nhu_Hoang I can’t see the picture somehow Do you mind sending it again with a description?

@CreedH00d I’m glad you’re loving the update! 
And if your Heir MC can’t do the dirty work in the future… The Morozovs do have quite a number of enforcers ready to do it for them 
including Ash. Or they can hire Jackal’s service 
Your MC will get a discount, alright? 
Also, I think there won’t be so any dilemma-filled decision about killing 
I think they’ll all be more clear-cut in the future, at least that’s what I have planned right now. But, also, I’m a pantser-writer, so I don’t wanna make any solid promise
@CreedH00d @Dragonlord943 @Servant_of_choices As for the most merciful execution option, I’d say just shooting him, especially if your MC is decent in Combat, it’ll be a clean headshot.
I’m sorry to hear that @Servant_of_choices, I’m glad you are okay now and I hope you are doing well 
But I do agree with you, drowning is actually one of the most painful death for the poor guy, especially because it’s slow, he’ll probably feel every second of it until he blissfully pass out. Another one that’s just as painful is also being burned alive by Ash. There’s a reason why most people have inherent fears of drowning and/or of fire and being burned alive.
@Sakura_Higanbana28 I’m currently planning for it I’ll try my best to include that scene of course, because I love it too! Especially Grandpa’s and Luka’s praises, yes? 
@Aoi_Inuime Well, I’m glad you’re finding the lethal action scenes exhilarating and satisfying And another one to the ever-growing army of Ash enthusiasts
@Isabel Oh my Gosh! I didn’t realize this bug! You’re right, this is because if you choose to focus on Charisma first, I accidentally increased Charisma again by 10% when you choose the second focus. The other two primary options (focusing on Combat or Intelligence first) are already correct.
Thank you so much for pointing it out! I’ll get it fixed by next update!

Huh, I thought it must be at least 60 
Well then, I’ll play with the stats again and see what it shows.
Btw. if you can answer that question… In which chapter will Skylar and Santana appear? I look forward to meeting them.
The conversation with Rin in chapter 2 doesn’t seem to loop correctly.
Rin bug
After I asked him the first question, he ignored my not-so-subtle “I don’t have any more questions” and refused to let me go:
Same with Luka:

It’s basically in the page of killing two goons with one table and when i press next it says line 1727: Not a number:
@Cingulum_diaboli As I said before, I don’t really want to make the stat checks to be too difficult. I just want people to enjoy and focus on my story more than worrying too much about the stats
As for Santana and Skylar, you’ll get to meet them next chapter
Thank you again, for bringing this to my attention! I’ve seen where the coding might have gone wrong, and it’ll be fixed by next update.
Takashi’s skipping-conversation option is okay, right?
@Nguyen_Nhu_Hoang Yup, this is caused from reloading and playing with an old save file. This should be fixed by restarting from the beginning with a clean save.
Basically, all the “not a number” bug is caused from playing old save files because the system still remembers the old states of the variables before the update. Playing fresh from the beginning should fix this problem. I have talked more about this in the previous comments.

Yes, the conversation with Takashi is correct.
Anyway I found a bug when you choose the primary skill in Chapter2_BirthdayParty:
*if (Combat = Intelligence)
Even though you are as equally skilled in both combat and intelligence, which of those two skills do you rely on more often?
*fake_choice
#Combat.
*set primary “com”
*set secondary “int”
*set tertiary “cha”
#Intelligence.
*set primary “com”
*set secondary “cha”
*set tertiary “int”
If you choose Intelligence, it sets Combat as the primary skill instead.

@Isabel Holy, thank you for finding another one It’s been really helpful! Also, that whole safety-net coding for the skill setting is getting a bit revamped as well for next update since I found a mistake in it But, thank you, I haven’t actually caught the one you reported.

You gotta start over with a fresh start. Old saves will just cause errors as the author has stated multiple times.

I honestly question if people just don’t bother reading what the author says. It was written in red iirc, as well (EDIT: it was red on Tumblr but here in bold). Stated on Tumblr 2 times before update dropped and been said on here multiple times but people still post about this bug when they very clearly didn’t read the update post…maybe we shouldn’t bother telling them how to fix it if they can’t be bothered to read the disclaimer either…
It’s really getting annoying ngl and I ain’t even the author.

Does Santana suspects MC are the one responsible for that gruesome scene in the hotel penthouse? I mean with their powers and all they could experience what the last moments of those poor henchmen.
On one hand, leaving the commissioner alive would likely be a massive liability seeing as he knew who you were and could possibly go back on his word On the other, part of me wanted to yell "What the hell Ash? I was gonna give him a chance, maybe he could’ve been an insider for us. I mean If you thought leaving him alive was such a terrible idea, you could’ve at least spoken up about it instead of jumping the gun like that. Speaking of which, your gun, why didn’t you just use that? The man had a family, now they can’t even have an open casket funeral. Look, next time we have to pull a hit job, just say ‘we can’t leave this guy alive’, and I’ll just shoot him, don’t just light him up like one of your smokes."

You shake your head. “No, Ash… What you did is incredibly messed up…” Your voice is soft and trembling slightly. “There’s no justification for killing that man in the first place, much less for killing him in such a… gruesome way. It’s terrible…” Your throat constricts, and you feel yourself about to gag as you try to erase the image of the burning man from your mind.
Ash is at a loss for words, squirming uncomfortably and guiltily, not daring to meet your eyes. After a moment, he finally sighs before finally gathering enough courage to gaze at you. “I’m so sorry, Alex… It was never my intention to distress you like that. I just thought…” He shakes his head, stopping whatever excuse he was trying to come up with. “What I want to say is that I promise to change. It might not be instantaneous, but I promise I’ll be trying my very best to change, okay? For you… Would you please give me a chance?”
I never try playing as merciful MC before today but I tell you what this conversation at least make me think Ash is worth it to be chasing as RO. He is too cute
Welp I think not everyone will agree with me but say what you want, I still want Ash too much lol
