(WIP) Corruptant [172k words, New Update: April 11th, 2024]

It was the council, that did it. It was declared in conversations. It also states King is not over the council either, if I remember correctly.

Well at least I know now it’s been a while since I’ve played. I would more of our past to see the build up of events that eventually got us there. The most we did was get a mum and practice fighting as well teaching that jerk a lesson

Isn’t MC’s father one of the council members? and wasn’t it MC’s father who threw MC into the street? so, I definitely think the father has something to do that poor MC was tortured the last 10 years.

I have to say this wip has me excited I usually always do the good guy route but so far I don’t see that happening here. My MC is apathetic feeling nothing is just less of a risk. If the kingdom is saved oh well if it burns oh he just won’t be going out his way to help anybody.

I picture him as a curious person treating the end of the world as a game of sorts. Viewing the teams wishes as a sort of monkeys paw or a genie in a bottle sure he’ll do what’s asked but there is a consequence for getting his help. Pain is only thing he’s known for years now it’s all he has so it’s all he can give.

My edgy character aside this was a cool demo hope to see more.

Yes. He did, he is and definitely the one I may want to slaughter.

Probably thinks he’s untouchable because of he is part of council but I’m gonna prove otherwise.

I’m absolutely hooked on the premise and the characters!

I love playing the totally NOT unstable and only slightly insane character with bouts of apathy/dissociative tendencies!!
Not sure how this work is going to play out but I’ve been playing as a character whose morals deteriorated over time and now has a warped sense of what’s right and wrong. Who may or may not be itching to go on a suicidal killing spree.

My MC as a child: Nooo killing and torture is wrong even if theyre a bad person!!1! :sob: :sob:

Now:
NPC: You’re a monster!
My MC: ??? Sure I killed him but it’s not like I tortured him?? It was quick and painless. Plus it was for a good cause. He was annoying.

NPC: I’m going to kill you!
My MC: Yay! :smiley:
NPC: fails and gets killed by my MC
My MC: Aww… :frowning:

Also the voice in my head is my new best friend. Sorry Sam, I love you but he’s very funny and has a lot of good ideas :slight_smile:

I am typically not one for poly routes but I quite pleased with how they’re written so far. I’m so used to the obviously not originally fleshed out poly routes and just was added as an afterthought that the characters lose any personality and/or agency/reaction towards the relationship. This was a breath of fresh air.

It’s rare that I deviate from my typical fictional RO type that isn’t flirtatious/bastard and/or brooding/angst.

But I absolutely adore Quinn, they’re both someone I want to be like and is 100% my type in real life. She’s gotten my heart already.

Keep up the good work my dude!

Until you realize, once the shards become the weapon of the King again. Which is its goal. To be one and with King.

What poly routes?

Yep which why we should probably try to do something about it soon before things get bad but we don’t really have any plan yet

At this point the MC is just a wild card and has probably gone insane but it’s gonna happen after decades of torture and we couldn’t even die cos it’s hard to kill corrupted

so far the only one I have seen that might be a poly route it involves the person that is in charge of the mc and the king’s child

Isn’t that sort of proving that they/she was right to keep MC locked up?

Actually that’s the only one looking like. On their Tumblr they confirmed it cause Sam doesn’t want to share, and it wouldnt make sense for how they are now as well, and the Maverick guy doesn’t as well. Only other one maybe possible is the elf chick.

Maybe laughing a lot MC for this one, can we pretend to be insane just to mess with this people, I don’t like any of them seriously if I can I want to do genocide run in this story, that includes killing sam and entire order even the king and the prince, I don’t like that sam didn’t even lift a finger for us, if it’s other way around I will try to save Sam, but Sam inactivity is the last straw for me, there is literally no reason to save this people, no motivation whatsoever to be a hero.

They treated MC like a monster then they will get a monster, it’s only fair.

I normally does not go there but this people doesn’t deserve good life while my MC is being tortured and go insane.

Yeah MC becoming a vessel for the evil overlord or fully taking over his powers for themself. I think I will also go this path. :smiling_imp:

My childhood rival is already ripped apart. One down. :wink:

The song “What could have been” fits MC so much on this path.
