I know, right? It's like catnip for us. I can sorta understand why George R. R. Martin enjoys yanking his readers' chains. SORTA.

at least you didn't make Taylor became powerhungry who ignores EVERY SINGLE GROW SHE HAD IN SERIES who is killed BEFORE her profesy could come to pass (because it can).


and yeah, i still mad about what he did to Draineiris

The soul is going to be reincarnated if Madison doesn't take the deal. This means that either the soul is wiped clean and death of personality occurs regardless of what she does, or it isn't wiped clean and the resulting baby comes into the world with one of the few memories it has of its past life being its brutal murder.

The crow demi-human was too young to have a personality.

Maybe this persecutive will help. Madison has already harmed her own soul through her actions against Taylor. Bonding the crow demi-human's soul could mend her soul.
 
Didn't say this when I found this and caught up the other night but feeling like I should at least at some point: This is my favorite The Gamer fic I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Cutting Gamer's Mind from being a base thing... damn that's a good idea and holy heck did it allow for some great new takes and plot points. I love this fic.
 
The sheer visceral pleasure and satisfaction bordering on sexual release that I experienced when I spotted this in my notifs borders on indescribable.

I always hoped this would come back and my patience was for once rewarded.

Another brilliant chapter, thank you.
 
Just finished a reread of this amazing story!

This definitely remains as one of the top Gamer-style fics for Taylor out there. And I truly hope your muse continues to let you explore it, @Tale Swapper . I love your work very, very much.

I can't wait to see what comes of this and how things will progress. Still need to find a way to save Allie. QA deserves a lot of love in this fic. A new sister for Taylor in soo many ways.

I hope Madison and Aisha eventually join the party. Trainwreck too. He remains an utter badass and could be a good friend.

This is definitely going to be one of my all time favorite stories, finished or unfinished. So take your time and let yourself have fun when you can. We'll be here waiting to support you and enjoy what is to come.

Don't worry, I plan on having Trainwreck Gregor join the party very soon. I'm having fun writing his scenes and figuring out his eventual aesthetics- in fact, I recently had a bit of a brainblast as to what his 'theme' could be as a heroic cape. As for Madison, she'll also be joining in during the second arc.

I actually hadn't really considered Aisha as a possible party member. Now that I have... well, I don't think she's a good fit to the team I'm going to build. Taylor's team (whose name I still can't nail down) is going to be fairly serious (at least in public), and rather knight/medieval-chivalry focused. Aisha, as much as I love her, would be a poor fit for such a group. Definitely a friend, maybe even something like Allie's assistant, but I can't see her as chivalrous. Good? Yes. Noble? Ehh.

Wow, high praise. I'll try to live up to it.

Wait, he's going to have the same name as Faultline's teammate? I fear that could cause some confusion.

using her powers, Taylor found out that Trainwreck's real name is Gregor, I'm certain he'll be using a different Cape name. And I'm certain that if Taylor meet's Faultline's crew, she'll be sharing what she finds there as well, barring a disastrously bad first meeting anyways.

Wait until the Snail gets told HIS true name by Taylor. Which is a confrontation I am really looking forward to. Heraldry is going to have some fast friends among the entire C53 population.

Might even change his name to 'Whateverhistruenamewas' the Snail.

And well, Gregor Luganov was Trainwreck's real name in this timeline. Or maybe it was in canon? Who can say but Cauldron.

His rebrand will be pretty interesting too.

Deeeefinitely looking forward to that! Gregor/Trainwreck will be an awesome friend. Projection Quest showed how crazy Trainwreck can get, but once he starts using the system along with Taylor? Ooooh dear oh dear.

And yeah, looking forward to Madison too. I love Madison redemption fics.

And yeah, Aisha will make a better mascot char. Though hopefully she can be prevented from triggering in this timeline. Hanging out with Taylor and the others could help with that.

Though I'm really looking forward to interacting with the Undersiders and dealing with Coil eventually. The Dungeon that will spawn will be kinda crazy, I expect.

But yeah, Aisha could be a friend, at least.

Don't worry about it. Just enjoy your muse and have fun. That will be enough to make sure it becomes a wonderful truth.

*snrk* Sounds like Mouse Protector would fit right in with this group, aside from the fairly serious part.

God I hope Mousie shows up. Ha! She and Taylor would get on so well.

I like that you might be on something there. But you are right, Aisha would not be a good fit for a knight/medieval-chivalry focused focused cape-team.

I have one suggestion. The Most Benevolent Order of the Shield's Oath.

That will definitely be a ten chapter mega-dungeon crawl.

Every team needs a snarky scout/archer/assassin type to act as a foil to the knights.

Aisha's power would allow her to be a good assassin or a good scout. Her being an archer depends upon what direction @Tale Swapper is planning on going with Taylor's sub-class.

I am still thinking and now even more that the party system will be key element in saving Ally.

Yes, I do believe that will be what @Tale Swapper is planning on doing based on a few very subtle hints.
At least, I think they were hints, they may have just been me over thinking the situation.

Oh ho. I have plans for Coil. Not certain yet whether those plans will end up in the Omake bin or not, but I have plans.

I mean, underground base, tortured kids, seemingly benevolent man with a very very nasty secret, remote-controlled doors... and one particular game in mind. Bonus points to whomever guesses which one I'd like to recreate...
