Writer's Notes
chapter 11 woowee
even as the writer, rael’s fate is kinda on y’all. so idk if story simulation would turn out into some kind of a tragedy or wholesome story at the end lol
(im bad at predicting people too, so that might be why i absolutely have no idea about it)
honestly though, i actually wonder about the reasoning behind people’s options
lowkey wondering if they vote just for the sake of chaos
they could vote for something they would actually do
or vote for something that sounds in-character? idk
:^)
Rael looked into the valley, following how everyone moved around. Aurielle, Jean, and Exiled went all around the fight, as they remained somewhat united to attack their opponents together. The two magic users he didn’t recognize were similar, but they often remained separated to attack from different directions.
And there’s Kat, who didn’t move around too much—but her metal-like attacks flew after his allies all around the valley. Along with that, the two unknown wizards chased after Rael’s allies. One of them moved like a fire blast, that violently flung itself towards Aurielle and Jean. The other one crept around the shadows after the Exiled—Rael couldn’t really tell if this shadow wizard was one person, or a horde of shadowy people flocking after the two, like a murder of crows.
The fire wizard and shadow wizard reminded him of some encounters, but that’s not what he wanted to overthink right now. He didn’t want to mess up again, so he wanted to look for a decent entry into the fight—to help a knight, his mentor, and a fellow student out.
Following the fire wizard’s direction along the cliff, his magic energy charged in his arms. And he looked down once again. He waited, and aimed at them from above.
He charged the magic energy into his palm, holding it back. By the time his hand weighed down, he cast a massive wood magic blast downwards, aiming to hit the fire blast wizard.
And now everyone in the fight noticed him. At this point, he didn’t care too much about staying stealthy—as he jumped down into the valley, casting a wooden platform to guard himself against the incoming attacks.
Once his platform hovered at everyone’s level, he heard Jean freaking out as he continued attacking the fire wizard with his spells, to the point of burying their body into the river.
After hearing Jean warning him to watch his back, he cast his wood attacks backward and turned back, only to notice the shadow wizard’s face up close. Before Rael could attack back, Exiled and Aurielle knocked them away with their attacks.
But once the shadow wizard got knocked away, he saw Kat swinging her arm above, flinging Rael’s platform upwards with her cold metal magic.
He tried to get out of the platform, only to get hit by the metal that kept sending him higher and higher. Once it stopped, he could only see the skies surrounding him. As he got up, Kat appeared right in front of him.
Upon noticing her, the cold metal formed on his neck, choking him. Instead of reaching for his own neck to break the metal, his hands reached out to grab her throat, strangling her back. Kat tried to break Rael’s hands away, only for him to dig his nails further into her skin. Before he could consider using his magic, the metal that tightened around his neck broke apart.
Now’s the chance.
- Strangle her further with his magic, and try killing her.
- Strangle her further, to the point of passing out. And bring her away from here.
- Simply let her go.
- Ask her about the whole deal with her “cold metal magic”, and threaten her to spit out Dacien’s location.
- Ask her about… how did she end up this way. Hopefully, he could learn a thing or two about her/his history.
- Ask her if she wants to talk to him about something. She could’ve had her reason to single him out like this.
