Every king worth a damn has to have descendants. Loyal and obedient descendants, that is.

Don't worry, I share your grievances toward the original in that regard. I plan to solve those issues, once we eventually reach that part of the story.

Yes i am trying to increase my vocabulary instead of always using the same words. If you don't like it, I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna change it either

romance no, marriage yes

Light harem. Getting women is never a focus for Leylin, but he does get laid regularly, seeing as he views women as mere tools for his own pleasure and benefit.

Yes, but the increase would be insignificant unless he absorbed an official Magus. Remember he's a powerful Warlock with a far superior lifespan than the average Magus already

Yeah, that's kind of the point. He's a despicable being, so he's not going to be humble at all.

The lightning Rank 1 spells were him using Johnson's magic artifact. It is implied by the way it's mentioned that he was readying it in his hand before the fight. Also, Leylin can use every element given that he has the A.I. Chip to aid him in the learning process (this is explained in earlier chaps). He does not necessarily use his main elements, though he clearly favors them. In this chapter, he uses a Darkness element spell in the form of the Negative Energy Inflame.

😈

You can assume that he kept it around for when he advanced just in case his stature increased again. After all, it is never mentioned that this particular robe is his old one, since he had only worn gray robes until that point.

He purified his SF so it went down a bit put it got denser and thus more powerful

Read and find out

A few (2-5).

Tbf, I don't even know who that character is

Clearly, you didn't read the part where I explicitly indicate there's NO ROMANCE with the MC...

Unfortunately, no. Never has been :/

Yep. No major plot changes as it is not technically a fanfic. It's just a tuned-up version of the original according to my *personal* taste.

What's the point of being evil if you're not monologuing to the people you're about to murder in cold blood?

AI personality is just like a loyal servant, who rarely jokes or encourages her Master. The AI role remains the same as in the OG story. Plus, absolutely no romance whatsoever.

Even if say, a first-grade acolyte reaches level 2 or 3 of an acolyte, they would have (marginal) possibilities of successfully tapping into the ancient remnant's power. Whether the process of advancement would kill the acolyte or infuse them with great power, would depend on the subject's innate talent, cultivation, and life force. Naturally, the better the candidate, the more likely they are to break through and write their own legend — instead of dying miserably. Of course, there could always be a rare exception.
