I think it would be better to leave the SFX exclamations out. To me, it sort of feels unnecessary since the movie in my head already has those sounds covered.

Oofff best laid plans as they say. Although, I don't know if this would work but say Ludwig kills the king and assuming he can make him a undead, could a undead king still command the living rats into a army of sorts? I was just picturing in my head a small minor story where Legion of rats swarming villages and towns and the villagers fight to fortify and defend and sort of like a mystery where the heros and main character type person womder who's the person pulling the strings type of deal. That would be a cool idea.

Man, If he's having trouble and the fights only just started, the 30% health bar threshold can't happen fullstops. Once the King unlocks that ability, the call of kin combined with his increased stats will be a check mate or at least make it so much harder to win. The best way would be to survive somehow until Ludwig can one shot him all at once with 2 Mayne 3 critical strike at the same time. He can't call for help if he's dead after all. It's either that or wade through hundreds to probably thousands of rats coming to the Kings rescue.

This is actually super important info about dungeons here. Basically while it may be a seemingly weak dungeon for now, he has a national level resource at his disposal if he nurture it and doesn't destroy it wholesale assing it's not out of hisvrealm to control this. Self improvement for himself and his minions is garrenteed if he plays his cards right with a tad bit of luck. Huge potential

Hmm one possible way Van Djik awakened his Vampire inheritance was sort of a mental break from losing his family. Another is maybe for some crazy the werewolf helped himself how? Maybe the pit of despair that Van Dijk was pulled into, took away his sense of humanity that was holding him back. The trauma and anger was so great that he let go of his humanity and subconsciously embrace the inheritance no one knew he had.

Who can say you know? What can wear down a human doesn't always translate to undeath. Maybe the stamina requirements that a human need to do the techniques is so great that the body works itself to death. But for Ludwig it just gives him a cool down instead?

Hmmm I mean not that the common population would know but him being a dark magic user. Is his reputation THAT important? If the general population find out, is the avengers of mages and countries going to take him down?

Do you have a discord channel for your books and stuff?

oĥhh so that's how it is. Hoyos' whole deal with the holy knights was the truth but was made into a servant of Mott instead, probably. There's no way he would have gotten his hands on a spell like Dark Erasure and grafted so many organs to give him so many abilities. While it's true he is a fallen noble but it was never specific WHEN. Through these graftings, he could actually be so much older than he appears, just like Mott. This also explains why he chose Ludwig of all people to be friends with out of nowhere in the dead of night. He might have gotten prior knowledge from his master or masters about Ludwig. They knew Necros would send another apostle, so they sent Hoyo to scope him out. That's why there's was a random letter from an unknown source. Hoyo is sending regular reports, plus Sebas and Evan being traitors. With Mott coming as insurance and under the pretext of Dark Magic, Ludwig had no chance from the start. Nice well played.
