Bleak Midwinter.

“What this world needs is a common evil.” “Because chaos is more organised than order itself. Exactly as you taught me” Torn between where to direct his life, Arthur Olvasen has to decide on a side——as quickly as possible, as the merger and the potential interracial war between Earth and Eden creeps eerily close——the Bad or the Worse. *********************** First 9 chapters are long, ranging from 7-11k words. However, after 10 chapters, I started segregating them into bits of 2k words. They are still that long but the same chapter is divided into many bits. NOTE: The story is slow burn; in action, world building and as well as potential romance. Just like how things should be. LoL. Tag along with it. You won't regret it. The story is also available on RoyalRoad underneath the same username of Reprobate. ************************* Cover is drawn by Octa. You can commission yours by contacting him through discord. His discord handle is (octawobs) without the brackets of course. This story's co-author is Komrade. And is being edited by incezangwill. Big thanks to all of them.

Characters Glossary

Arthur Olvasen: The MC. A mentally normal kid who is the heir to the Olvasen family which is one of the strongest family in the Seven Syndicates, and the only ones rivalling Whites and Mirandas.

He has medium length brown-ish blonde hair and extremely pale grey eyes. He is around 5'11'' or 180.34 cm. 

He has a subtle case of Haphephobia which is aversion to physical touch. Point to note is that it's subtle so touch over fabric or during high adrenaline moments like fighting is no biggies. 

Astrid Aalto: Caretaker/Maid of Arthur. Met Arthur a few years ago. Their relationship feels flat at times and sometimes really close. Although there is a very steep ambiguity at different times in their interactions with each other so much can't be said, for now.

She has long silvery hair and pale blue eyes. She is quite cheerful and likes to joke and goof around. She is quite tall in general but not so much when compared to her own country women, standing at around 5'8'' or 172 cm. 

Maria Miranda: Heir of the South American family, Mirandas. Knows Arthur but their relationship somewhat feels awkward. 

She has long blonde hair that curls at the bottom. She has really beautiful grey eyes. Arthur has mentioned once that he was envious of her eyes that radiated warmth and were so vibrantly full of life, a stark contrast to his own. 

She is 16, a year older than Arthur and stands at about 5'4'' or 162.6 cm
