You know, I really needed to hear this because I frequently wonder if it's cringy that I add a little bit of Archaic to her speech. Thank you ♥
More specifically, it's because you saved her friend, which was the only memory she was able to hang onto to keep her relatively sane as she was forced to do horrific things to other humans. Her friend was basically the last shred of humanity for Elyria. Or at least this is how it worked in my head, but unlike a novel writer who has to write an entire book, go back and re-read it, edit it, re-read again, edit again, etc. I've only got a general outline to follow before I release each new bit of story.
In short, I make mistakes. So this one wasn't a mistake, but perhaps you picked up on something I'm still missing.
A bit, but It has more to do with Seraphina than Elyria. However, there is something that I'm not willing to spoil, even after hiding in a spoiler tag.
I'm pretty sure I mentioned this specifically in my writing, right? That was what I was trying to get at. Put it this way. I'm not a big LotR fan (I do enjoy some of it), but one of my favorite parts is Shelob.
She's supposed to be an ancient evil who might be more powerful than Sauron. When in reality, according to The Silmarillion she was just a spider following her instincts. So she was called evil, but imo she was just eating.
I particularly loved her depiction in the middle earth games.
I admit, I HEAVILY based Elyria on her.
!!
It makes me super happy that someone caught that. That said, it is a major spoiler so you should probably use a spoiler tag.
But to explain: Succubi magic is believed to be illusion magic only (aside from their innate charm, of course). Which results in most races thinking of them as weak. However some Succubi have become unnaturally powerful, and instead of simply creating an illusion, they create an illusion so powerful that reality itself believes it was always true.
I actually really enjoyed creating this magic and will probably use it again in a future game or story.
I actually wrote a very lengthy explanation here, but it contained too many spoilers for still un-written content so I had to delete almost all of it. Still, what's left could still be a bit spoilery for players who haven't played somewhere around update 0.48 or later: Pseudinferis claims she was gifted to him, but you should remember that Pseudinferis is a liar. It's in his nature.
It's also worth noting that Elyria is one of the longest living creatures in this world. She had enough time and enough solitude to learn magic that was mostly unheard of and to become more powerful than any other being.
I will admit, this is largely because she's returned home for the first time in thousands of years. I can't think of a way to comment on that further without spoilers though, so I'll stop there.
You actually predicted some upcoming content here. Evil aligned players will be able to do this in the future. But I don't think I will have an opportunity to do it in the story until chapter 4 at the earliest. Though there should be some fun scenes in the brothel coming soon. I was trying to write some of them today actually, but struggled to put words down. Though I'm trying to be a little better about not making every lewd scene super long, so I'm going to try to write a few shorter ones.
I welcome community ideas. I even have a channel on discord specifically for them!
But if you'd rather not use discord, you're more than welcome to send me private messages or post them here if they're not too spoilery.
There are two possible ways, and honestly the first method was pretty difficult to come up with because she's practically an old God with the amount of power she has. She is also the only abyssal magic user in both the demon and human worlds.
No Comment.
There are some scenes with Yuki in the last (patreon) update though. Only for players who didn't recruit her before.
Tbh, the last update I worked on was huge, but that's largely because I needed to write two different paths for players who had recruited Yuki and players who hadn't.
Then I also had to add some variations for players who were a bit more evil vs players who weren't.
If my updates seem small, it's likely because I'm often writing 4-ish variations of multiple scenes.
