I enjoyed the writers take on this "what-if" within the Mushoku Tensei universe. Each decision the protagonist will have a cascading effect on how the story deviates from the original timeline. Despite a few questions on how certain things should have come to pass, such as why is Arial and her mage are still alive without "silent-fitz", and how will/or will Norn end up with Ruijerd if they never meet in her childhood. I think this Fan-Fiction is so far a wonderful addition to the Mushoku Tensei collection of stories. I look forward to reading further chapters.

Yeah I’m also wondering about that too. How will that happen? Maybe when Norn goes on first adventure she’s saved by Ruijerd and becomes infatuated by him in this what-if story. Afterwards, Orsted orders Rudeus to arrange for Norn's marriage with Ruijerd much to Rudeus' surprise. After Rudeus talks to Norn, she immediately tells Rudeus that she accepts the marriage to make the arrangements immediately. The two got married in a Superd style wedding and had Luicelia Superdia
That would sync with Orsted's memory of Norn's timeline. However Rudeus's "Storybook of Ruijerd" relied on Norn's recollection and writing of Ruijerd's stories he told her on the trip to Rudeus's home. In theory, the timeline could go in so many directions, does Ruijerd find the remaining Sigurd race still alive or dead from the "disease", does Rudeus still figure out the cure for the Mana poisoning in time? ... so many paths that can be taken ... unfortunately with Rudeus being OP'd, the other's in his circle may not develop the way they need to, potentially negating the international coalition developed in the canon ... Still, a nice saga of fanfiction that's enjoyable to read

I agree, Sylphy would probably be the weakest out of the three goddesses, due to her not gaining enough experience fighting actual enemies when she was Silent Fitts in the original canon series. Also I like to think that Eris told stories about Ruijerd’s past and their misadventures in the party “Dead End.” But who knows what will happen. Although I’m certain Orsted will find a way to get Norn and Ruijerd together. Since Rudeus and Orsted joined forces early in this story.
