Thanks for all the support while I was away! I really appreciate it!

Apparently human flesh tastes like pork according to Polynesian tribes. When asked they called it "long pig" to describe eating humans. Besides that, can't say I've ever smelled or tasted cooked human flesh so your guess is as good as mine lol.

It means "without". So the sentence is basically saying everything was taken except the conference table and chairs.

He appears like a normal human but a bit transparent. thanks for reading!

Pursuing immortality and ruling a kingdom/fief aren't mutually exclusive. I don't want to spoil too much, but kingdom building is a significant point of the novel and will continuously grow in scope as the series progresses.

Short answer: Probably, but not necessarily your generic love-at-first-sight harem due to Arthur's personality. Longer answer: Arthur's story encompasses a very long time period, and he won't have the benefit of sitting in a cultivation chamber for a thousand years to pass the time. So while I have the significant events that shape the plot mapped out, I don't know how his individual interactions with side characters will play out until I get to them. Currently, I only have one love interest in mind which won't be introduced until much later in the story. However, I'm not opposed to having multiple love interests outside of the political marriages that Arthur will engage in to further his goals. So if that worries you, then proceed with caution.

Sorry, didn't see this. For some reason, it only shows a notification on the reader-side of the site and not the writer-side. To answer your question, no, at least for now. Arthur is driven primarily by his goal of immortality and has no time to seek out genuine connections with others, romantic or otherwise. As he currently is, it is very much within his personality to marry purely for the benefits it would grant him in furthering said goal rather than caring about things like love. Having said that, things may change in the future, so I can't say for sure how much I'll delve into romance.

The story skips until the day before the march at chapter 38, then one more little event before leaving.

Thanks for reading!

It's because Fenric had already seen that Arthur isn't a helpless child considering he dispatched three Agelians without a scratch. Fenric also showed the intention to fight even after Mara and Alan were freed. If Arthur fled now, it's unknown to him how Fenric would react, and since Fenric intended to fight, it tells him that the man felt confident about winning. Arthur believes that as long as he can survive this encounter, he can talk Fenric and his mercenary group into serving him in the future and bettering his chances of survival during the upcoming war and ruling in Helagaust.
