November : Development Sneak Peek

Hello!

I was going to show a bit of the UI but I'm not that confident about it so you are still getting the writing bit only lol.

This is a scene I wasn't going to include before, just because I thought it wasn't particularly necessary but something struck me and now it does feel like it will be good to include it. Somehow feeling like Helios is stealing the show in Chapter 3.

So here is a bit of it!

The sight of light spilling from the room’s bottom gap is an unusual sight, considering the room’s general seclusion. Rarely does anyone venture inside, or at least, you have never witnessed any activity there.

• Choice • Check who is in there.

Pushing the door ajar, the soft glow of the lamp on the bedside table floods the hallway. The gentle rustle of paper reaches your ears, hinting at someone engrossed in reading, perhaps lost in the pages of a book.

Stepping further into the room, you’re met with a sight that catches you off guard—Helios, seated at the edge of the bed, immersed in a book.

It shouldn’t startle you, not really, considering this space belonged to his late mother.

Sensing your arrival, Helios lifts his gaze from the book, visibly startled. He rises from his seat with a slight jump, an apologetic look gracing his features.

“Your Majesty,” he greets with a slight bow of his head, “I apologize for not sending word of my visit to this palace… I will take my leave now.”

His words carry a hint of unease, an unexpected encounter seemingly catching him off guard.

You're not sure what compels you to say he doesn’t have to leave but you do.

Love how both of them are like :0 LOL anyway I thought it would be kind of interesting seeing the differences in how this scene plays out in Farah's room depending on what MC did in Chapter 2.

Yes it is coming to bite everyone who burned the room in the ass but it's probably more sad for Heliosmancers, everyone who wants to see him suffer will be happy though. 😭

Sorry guys I wrote 1 line of fluff and needed 10 lines of sadness to balance it out.

This also made me remember I need to rewrite the birthday ball short for the people who burned it because while Helios will still be nice (overly nice even) I think some bits of 😥 are expected because that was his mother's room after all.

I do think Helios has forgiven MC in his heart for that because he's way too nice and understanding and I wish he wasn't sometimes but he is and you can hurt him all you want!!

This scene is skippable by choosing to not check so MC can encounter someone else.

That's all for this month, hope everyone's looking forward to my babies. See you next time! 🫡
