In my theory, Idriel already knew the MC before even entering the game, maybe she helped the MC in the past, so somehow she goes back in time, so one of her lines makes us understand this whole journey that the MC is taking , he does this before. But then something changed that led to death in the real world

madude, it is highly unlikely that reality is dualistic. stick to rational philosophical materialism that you will probably do better. nonetheless, if advice was a good thing... do what will. in regards to the game i don't think the setting is dualistic either considering the theme is cyberpunk in which the universe is usually materialistic with futurism and dystopia. i could be wrong ...some weebs love spiritualism.
Every one of these phenomena could possibly be explained with mental illness and technology.
Except we don't even know if its an actual child, we don't know if every NPC is like Thanatos and is an actual person turned into an NPC. The MC admits this.

If the child NPC truly is simply lines of code then I don't see anything wrong with doing whatever you want to it. Because then it's not an actual person, it's just an object.

More to the point, is that the other playing was saying all the common arguments people make in favor of taboo erotic fiction. "It's not real", "I wouldn't do this in real life", "It's just lines of code". The Developer is throwing stones in a glass house if he's implying that those arguments hold no merit.

love this game but sadly i was disappointed with the update. felt too barebones for how long it took, even if the sex scenes were really good. everything with ekabar and luna was good but it kind of petered out in the next 2 "sections" and was just lackluster. a shame. enjoyed it all the same though, penny is the best as always according to my rating chart rated.jpg

Orion has the 100% compatibility score which is why the dead are seeking him out but why he has that compatibility is still a question.
i think it's pretty obvious that Orion is a budding Immortal. He's the only one who's had portals to Eternum opening nearby at random. According to Bardot, this is the prime ability of the Immortals. The deeper connection to Eternum, exemplified by his high compatibility and strange abilities is just another facet of it.

This would make him prime marriage material for Calypso when she realises it. As for the xenomorph thing.... My guess is just some random threat that somebody awakened/attracted by chance. Eternum is implied to be a massive multiverse with the numbers filed over. So it would make sense for it to have a terrors from the dark kinds of threats.

I just don't agree that Orion was really getting arrogant. The only time where he was even remotely arrogant was in the alley with the junkies and even then his reaction was perfectly warranted, if some bum comes demanding change from you punching them in the face is the correct choice. If anything his only screw up was by not taking it farther and making sure the enemy was down for the count.
Wait, what?

Someone asks for a cigarette or some change, and you think the correct response is to punch them in the face and his mistake was to not beat them unconscious?

What kind of American Psycho are you?

If anything his only screw up was by not taking it farther and making sure the enemy was down for the count. The only reason the situation went pear shaped is because a junkie who likely didn't have 2 eternals to rub together SOMEHOW had a gun. If they were proper gang members then sure I can see that, but junkies? At most they would have a knife or a broken bottle. Also if you're going to mug someone and you have a gun you pull that out first, much more likely to get the money without having to fire a shot.

I mean the entire chapter Orion was constantly questioning himself and his enemies. With the werewolves he was confident but also respected the enemy enough to be wary of him and while I haven't seen the vampire route I'm sure it's pretty similar. He even questions if what he is doing with the girls is right and after thinking about it comes to a logical conclusion, it's probably not the right one but the fact that he even stops to question it shows that he is aware of his actions and not just assuming he is the god king and that everything will work out.

All in all I don't think Orion earned that shit from Idriel. If you wanted him to earn it then the werewolf/vampire parts would have had him just assuming he would win without challenge. You would have removed the part about him being excited that Coyote was an actual challenge and replaced it with something more like "Coyote is better than I thought but still a chump not worth mentioning" you would have him NOT questioning his relationships with the girls and just assuming he is so badass it's obvious they would fall for him. Having a single encounter where he shows a level of earned arrogance that goes sideways in a kind of stupid way does not warrant the "You deserve this because you were being arrogant" speech. At best it deserves a "This is not how things were supposed to happen, someone interfered with your destiny" or "You were unlucky"

If you really wanted to hit us with the consequences for arrogance trope then there should have been small moments where he truly was getting arrogant, then have Idriel chide him in one of her talks, something like "You are doing well but be wary of arrogance and do not let it cloud your judgement" then hit us with what we got and it would feel earned and right. This feels like Cari wanted to have a morality moment and threw it in because it would make a good cliffhanger not that it made sense to the story and character.

Aside from all that it was a great chapter, a little bit short but with all of the theory fodder it totally makes up for it. Now I just have to work out if Orion is going to survive the incident, become like Thanatos, or have the world kind of reset.

Orion is going broke...
How will he even pay child support if...
...
He's losing Money...
He's losing blood...
He's losing life...

What are we gonna do with the Polyjuice potion??
Cosplay as Jerry???
Cause... we already successfully did that.:HideThePain:
[Sighs]...
C'mon man :HideThePain:
When I bought the polyjuice potion I went from 1900 to ~900 or something. Where'd all the money go, Brad?

Great update as usual. About the ending, my expectation is that Orion turns into an Immortal... and that will be the development of Calypso's arc .

I still wonder what Idriel really is.
For some reason I'm starting to suspect that Idriel and Calypso are from the same family.

Is there a way for me to change a character's name? One of them has the same name of a family member and it feels hella uncomfortable talking about them
