Vendetta (WIP) (Ash + Rin Hangout Updated on 20th August 2024) [384K Words Total])

I forgot what gun’s MC posses, they don’t have manual safety?

I mean it is not as if you need a gun for that …

Yeah but you are a highly trained superhuman powerhouse sent to kill a regular guy, again not much of a fight, its more like an execution

You are literally sent there to execute him, hence grandfather likes when you kill him in a gruesome way.

You were already pointing it at him

What if he had a hidden weapon or something?

Most people will react with the weapon in hand already pointed at their target and whoops

It’s not loaded and you’ve just gotten shot

You never pull a gun and point it at people without it being loaded

I don’t see how is that supposed to be a problem seeing that the MC kills an entire team of assassins ( who had guns and were much better fighters) just a few minutes after that … the commissioner never had a chance loaded gun or not .

It’s true that maybe it isn’t the most intelligent thing to do if you’re gonna kill someone, but I think it looks kinda badass. Like “It wasn’t even loaded bro” confidence level

The guy was dead already. It was either us or the team sent to get him. He said too much and both sides wanted him silenced. I just feel bad for the cop who’s related to him.

Yeah a team of assassins that dont catch you by surprise.

They knock on the door and wait until you’re good and ready then walk in and stand around talking to you

For someone with years of supposed firearms training pointing an unloaded gun at somebody is terribly stupid

Cause they didn’t expect fou you to be there. They were going with the assupiton that the comossoner would trust then. And he probaly would’ve.

Ok hold up are you mad that a supepowered person didn’t worry about cocking their gun or am i just confused?

This is the game where you can turn someone into a pancake with gravity powers.

It’s not like the gun is our last line of defence.

I’ve been asking this everywhere lol but could we do some gojo esk antics at some point with the grav powers… Or even make something stupid scary with the shadow powers and get our own mahoraga at some point in the story.

I don’t have a jjk problem… I swear

Ah yes. I doudt you have a jjk problem. Anyways this would be awsome but i dont think we will get to that level of power without sacrificing a lot. I could see it being used against the final boss at the cost of the power itself or sonething like that but i doudt we gonna get to gojo levels of destruction nor his level of just not caring

cool ass game :3

Hi! I just finished the demo tonight and I’m so excited for the rest of it to come out! It felt wonderful the amount of connections and interactions I could get with characters, and I LOVED how my character uses her powers. So much fun. I went the Intelligence and Gravikinesis route, but I might redo it with charisma or heck even combat and Umbrakinesis. I’m not typically a combat orientated type in these games but it’d be cool to combine that with Umbra in this story. Not to mention I really grew attached to the characters, especially Ash but I’ll get to them later lol. I loved my family, even though I don’t think my dear, sweet, precious, merciful Mc will become the heir lol. Interacting with my mom was so interesting too. I loved how you could have a love-hate relationship with her. It kind of hit close to home a little bit, cause I have felt that sort of complicated feelings to family members as well, and it’s hard, so I really felt for my character. As for Ash…my god, I squealed when I saw you could have a clueless flirt romance with her!!! They are just so adorable, my mc has no idea how much she wants to date Ash and she is so confused. I can’t wait for her to tell someone “I think I might have feelings for Ash!” And for them to go “No shit, Sherlock!” No idea if it’ll happen or who’ll say it but that aside, I can’t wait for them to confess. Every interaction my lovestruck Mc has with them makes me so ridiculously happy I have to stop playing just to squeal. And it’s not just Ash either! Having a tsundere flirt with Skylar is amazing!!! I thought I was going to go for them at first because of that (until Ash stole my heart) but I just want to say, it’s nice having some variety of flirting besides bold vs shy. I also saw the jealously stats and I really wanted to flirt with Skylar just to see jealous Ash, but ugh, I’m too loyal to them and I’d just want to reassure them I’m only interested in them. I know I’ve only talked about Ash, but I liked all the ROs. My only problem with the characters is that I wish I could have more time to meet the other ROs just so I could get to know them better but I mean it’s only chapter 6 right now so unless the story ends in two chapters I’m not too bothered by it lol.

Anyway, great story so far! Sorry about my essay but I just had to tell you after reading your story. Keep up the good work, you have a new fan!

Hi,i found the wip a few days ago, so far i like it, the torture scene had me regretting not skipping lol, i got a question, how does the jealousy stats affects the story?, because my MC is kinda flirting with everyone, but i also don’t want it to have a negative impact with other characters (unless my MC gets in a serious relationship, in that case fuck me i agree, but i wouldn’t know becasue im not finished reading)

yeah I’ve said this before, but being honest about your powers to someone you just met feels strange for someone who chooses to be a vigilante or criminal.

In this next upcoming update, I’m implementing a quickstart/skip-chapter system where you just need to answer a series of questions about your MC to set the most important variables, and then it would bring you right to the beginning of Chapter 6 :smile::+1: There will also be an autosave and reload system (right now I’m trying it out on Chapter 6 first to see how it works).

:wink: It’s actually an idea from one of my Discord members and Patron, and I found it to be an amusing and cute little reference to my handle name, so I included it :laughing:

Thank you for the kind words and compliment! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I personally don’t think there’s a wrong way to play for Vendetta :laughing: But for sure, Mafia heir and Vigilante would be the more popular endings for most of the readers’ MCs :face_with_hand_over_mouth: Would totally have to do a poll later on to see which one is more popular, Heir or Vigilante :face_with_monocle:

True :thinking: MC would have even more connections outside of the underworld, especially compared to Luka. Luka is a good and level-headed leader, but he lacks the interest to go out of his way to force himself make connections unless it’s absolutely necessary and crucial :joy: That’s why he always thinks Viktor would make a way better leader than him.

Thank you for the kind words! It is a bit slow, but things would only ramp up from here on, especially since Chapter 6 kinda informally marks the end of the first/opening arc of the whole book :grin:

Yeah, right now, no steamy explicit contents planned yet so far. But more violence, yes :laughing:

Haha :rofl: Exactly, whether in shadow hounds form or in shadow tendrils form, they are always eager to help MC :face_holding_back_tears:

I gotta admit, I haven’t caught up to JJK season 2, and it’s been a while since I last watched Season 1, so I can’t really give an answer :laughing: But considering how OP Gojo is… Probably not :rofl:

Aww, thank you so much for the kind words! And don’t worry, I enjoy reading your “essay” :wink:

I’m glad it turned out great! I remember, it’s one of the longer and more complicated part for me to write and go through. I spent a lot of time writing out different variations of MC’s thoughts and reactions based on their feelings about her. In short, writing out a lot of variations is always a pain, but I know it will be worth it in the end, and as with this, I can see it pays off! :smile:

Also, there will be a little update on that talk coming in the next update for those who are interested in becoming a Superhero.

It might be coming sooner than some might think or expect :wink: :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Writing the Tsundere variations with Skylar is always a blast :laughing: In my head, their dynamics is like this :sob:

Don’t worry, we’re still like I’d say 1/3rd, close to reaching halfway into the story (maybe in the next few updates, depends on the size of the updates), so you’ll definitely be spending more time with Santana and Skylar :grin: Not to mention, they’ll also have each of their own hangout routes, if you’re interested in knowing them more personally (like knowing more about their family or other problems they’re having and stuff).

I will probably come back to the torture scene in the future and add ways for MC to convince the guy to talk without having him go through the torture. But since it’ll be a pretty big addition and I just want to keep the momentum and continue to next chapters, I’ll leave it for future me :grin:

As for the jealousy stat, the one in the hidden stats is to keep track who each of the RO is jealous of, despite it looking like a number :laughing: It’s not a numerical value. But yeah, right now in Chapter 6, there isn’t much consequences yet, except for Rin. If you flirt with Santana or Skylar while on the phone, in the car with Rin sitting beside you, it will lessen Rin’s romance flag by one and it will lessen their trust as well.

Is this regarding Skylar? Well, to me at that time, once MC knows that they’re talking to Skylar, they know that this is the same Skylar that Yvette told them they would work with during her visit earlier that day. So, I just think there isn’t really a point for MC to keep the knowledge a secret if they’re going to work together as a team in the next few weeks to hunt down the killer :thinking:

Early Access Demo Update is now Live :partying_face:


Hey guys :wave: Sorry for not being too active here, I’ve been really busy these past few months and I could only juggle managing so much different platforms while also focusing and working hard on the update.

This update brings in 24K of new words, bringing Chapter 6 wordcount in total to 89.4K words and the total demo wordcount to 325.3K words! This update brings Chapter 6 to a neat close, which is important because to me, Chapter 6 is like the end of the first arc of the book.

Not only that, but I have also added a few major coding functions with this update, namely, a skip chapter function, and an autosave and reload function. I’m aware that my demo is getting longer, so I assume a skip chapter function might be a welcome addition.

It took me a long time to plan and figure out how to implement these systems, but in the end, after a lot of personal testing, I have finally managed to make them work.

The update is now live on both Patreon and Ko-Fi! I’ll also be posting side stories in the coming days and opening ideas/suggestions for next month’s side stories, so if you’re also interested in supporting me while also getting these exclusive contents, please do consider becoming a member! :sparkling_heart::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

What’s to expect from the new update:

  • Dropping Rin off to their apartment (and maybe, if you’ve been a good boy/girl, you can get a little smooch :kissing_heart:)
  • Have an angsty talk with Uncle Luka :disappointed_relieved:
  • But don’t worry, there are potential wholesome moments too (if you choose them, of course :wink:)
  • Another POV of the killer :smiling_imp: To see more on how they think and what they know so far.
  • Brand new skip chapter function! (Currently only for Chapter 6)
  • An autosave and reload function! (Currently only for Chapter 6)
  • Plus some new little stuff added in previous chapters.

For those waiting for the Public Update, it’ll be available on 7th November, 12 AM (GMT +8) :tada: So mark your calendar!

Oh, and also, I think I forgot to crosspost the announcement here, but there was also a three-part (around 8K words total) extra side story that just went public last month!

It tells the story of how Jackal first met Luka, written from his POV :grin: If you’re interested in reading it, the links to the three parts are below:
