With the possibility of having full power in sufficiently extreme circumstances without needing to hulk out or go yandere too.
On another note and for those who didn't see this particular realization, there's a potential negative interaction between Plenary Brand and Doom of the Tyrant.
The bolded part could be broadcasted by Plenary Brand, based on the bolded chunks about our nature
We're broadcasting that we're an easy mark for getting provoked into attacking people.
So in the end,The Tyrant that we spend everything to defeat is just a pawn for this greater mastermind?
I guess if we choose vengeance then future option probably resurrected Tyrant to figure out real identity of mastermind.
Tyrant probably is Control-lite figure of that world too,
The guy who try to break the social norm by gain absolute power over society and fate.

Typo, bleh. Doom of Lunacy constrains power. Geas of Lunacy constrains behavior. If you start from a power of '0', selecting Doom of Lunacy doesn't negatively impact you. Geas of Lunacy is pretty horrible behaviorally, which is the untenable part for me.

[X] Happily Ever After
We already had quests of endless escalation, so I kinda want to see what Rihaku makes of this sort of slice of life quest. Besides, our Hero has already burnt away so much of himself for his purpose, a chance to rest and recover sounds like something he deserves, and even the Accursed agrees with me that its the wise choice.

And switching to Geas is an entirely elective decision. People are skeeved out by it. Further, Plenary brand means that if we go Yandere, people are going to know about it. It has potential as a precommitment mechanism. We go Yandere, everybody knows we're a Yandere and the person we're devoted to becomes a target. It makes Geas of Lunacy even more nontenable.

For the vote update, the semi-major factions I see are Actual Sword, Immodest, Hulk and a number of scattered proposals. Since it seems Vengeance / Freedom are roughly tied, the vote update will have 2 Vengeance and 2 Freedom selections. Probably something like -
1) Immodest
-Subvote: 2 or 3 Curses
2) Hulk
3) Actual Sword
-Subvote: Praxis or Other
4) 2nd Vengeance option
Have I missed any substantial constituencies? Speak now or forever hold your peace.
It's left vague. The implication seems to be that the structure of the hero's entire life was more or less engineered by these hidden ones.

Can we use three wishes to wish to have the Praxis?

A True Wish could grant access to the Imperial Praxis. A Lesser Wish could grant access to the Royal Praxis... if you're powerful enough.

I feel somewhat obligated to offer an out for our protag to have a reasonably happy ending. The default version of the curses have no moral costs or QoL reductions.

I think Happily Ever After is a reasonable option with uh, 3~5 voters voting for it or similarly adjacent plans, but it seems Doom of Lunacy and Affliction of Slumber are both rather unpopular, and combining them both seems to be a death sentence. Alas.

What level of the Praxis does the Sword That Ends the World Remittance grant? I'd presume Royal, but just to be sure.
EDIT: Turns out it's Imperial. Cool.

Then three wishes plus brand to not die immediately as a progression type cursebearer then use true wish when we have access to it to get our hands on the praxis at last.

i want the Praxis as much as everyone, but sadly it doesn't seem to mesh well with our protagonist who will almost certainly want to try to have his family back. An immodest Wish on the other hand tries to have its cake and eat it too, the wishes will allow the MC to ressurect his wife and in the future, perhaps get a weaker version of Praxis as well. Geas of the Lunacy has synergy with ressurecting the love interest, so it would be a waste to not go for it.

Imperial. You get the lightning of the gods, but absolutely no starting power from the Remittance itself. Much safer as a Combat-type.
Yeah, but it's hard to beat "Convert my enemies into a pocket universe optimized for my advancement and gratification" or similarly reality-spanning wishes when you've got the Accursed on the line. And there's always the classic "I wish for what you believe would benefit me most."

Is Vengeance without Sword a sizable enough constituency to represent?
Despite voting Vengeance, I'd echo this, simply because it would be a very IC option and I wouldn't want another situation like Arthur with the Tonic.
I know the Accursed isn't into that genie business, but I still feel like that would be incredibly unpleasant.

This is actually almost identical to Happily Ever After actually.
But a wish traditionally is meant to get you what you want, not what you need! This is too wise a decision!

Vengeance with Sword is quite suboptimal in terms of risk-return (you take all the risk for faster scaling, but you already have unlimited fast scaling sufficient to achieve vengeance if you survive), but it seems I didn't explain that emphatically enough, so it will make it into the vote update with an appropriate disclaimer.
He's on your side, bro. If he wanted to screw the hero he would just not have made him a Cursebearer!
