AbsolvedJudas

The last few chapters could do with some serious editing and restructuring. You’ve got a lot of repeating and poorly telegraphed situations. He left but didn’t, he encountered people twice over, it was over reliant on explaining endless subtext. The only way this all makes sense is if we find out he was secretly ‘confunded’ and that’s why his experience of the Malloy ball was so disjointed. If that’s what the author planned, then congratulations, this is an excellent example of a piece of writing where the main character’s brain is being turned into compliant, simpering soup

Transmutation potions could allow him to augment himself with the magical aspects/abilities of creatures and beings in hp universe. Centaurs eyes for prophecy, basilisk skin for magic/physical resistance, phoenix tear/feather for regeneration, dragons vocal chords for fire breathing, sphinx brain for intellect boost etc. A lot of possibilities in this area that could cover most of the other fields if he advances and evolves it far enough

Acquire a proper magically bonded familiar, ideally something with a trace of a much rarer bloodline, then create an atavism potion to transform it into a more powerful creature that competes with Dumbledores’ prestige for having Fawkes. Ideally a creature that can provide him with regular potent potion ingredients E.g Runespoor to Hydra Create a Felix Fidelius potion based on the Fidelius Charm and Liquid luck potion that has the effect of making you unplottable by fate for a short time, essentially becoming immune to prophecy. Should be an option to go nuclear on the canon and also just do something else insane. Learn Native American Ritual magics e.g weather changing, spirit walking etc

Box breathing

I’ve been thinking about this. If he can convince Soma to create a wine that’s targeted at getting monsters drunk, could he use that in a monster pantry to basically kill them all while passed out and get a bunch of rewards? Could be a fun and weird use of his god’s obsession and a good revenue source.

I was more thinking of a familia directly related to Evilus

I can think of a few options here that aren’t staying with the Soma Familia. Steal a bunch of Soma wine and split. Then use the wine to basically bribe Loki into hoping their familia on his terms and as a solo adventurer with no oversight. Join a crafting familia and learn use his heat resistance and dragon fire to literally mold weapons from scavenged broken ones with his bare hands. Join the Freya familia. They basically train in a big murder brawl so if he can survive he has a semi constant supply of decent stats to scavenge. Join a completely evil familia and start killing off their members in ‘accidents’ to get their abilities and stats. Besides that he could go full solo or join an OC familia that’s similar to Hermes but more focussed in Orario

Everything but his chronological age

So far, he’s mostly absorbed abilities and stats from monsters rather than other adventurers so why not something synergistic with that. He’s the only adventurer to do that besides the guy who literally ate them to gain strength, so it’s very much got a flavour of uniqueness. Chimera: Improves the core aspects of monster acquired abilities (attack, defence, mobility, efficiency, cost, utility etc) and can give a chance for multiple similar monster abilities to combine and evolve into a new stronger single ability that could have new power options.
