Summary

The royal bastard of House Vasquer, Argrave, has changed after his stay studying magic at the Tower of the Gray Owl. The sickly man’s awkward posture and cruel behavior have been replaced with a neat dignity and acerbic wit. His listless life has found a path of undeniable purpose. Most come away thinking he seems to know too many details about too much. Few can claim to know his motives or his goals.

Behind the scenes, though, the primary contributor for an open-world RPG’s wiki battles existential dread and things far beyond his ken as he struggles to adapt to a grim, gothic fantasy world that he had the misfortune to claim as his favorite game. This is his tale.

#####What to expect from this story#####

This piece is a high-fantasy style story, featuring many of the species and surroundings one might expect to find in such a world. The cultures are original and well-developed, with the primary setting being a European-style feudal society. Warfare, fell beasts, and natural disasters are commonplace in Berendar, and take the center of many plots. The protagonist is a smooth-talker, but the world does not exist for him; he must struggle to gain power.

    A rollercoaster, but alas I detached in the last few chapters; felt like reading about the weather. But, Agrave being Griffin's attempt at suicide was a hell of a plot twist

    Give this story a try and you will not regret it. The slowest parts about this story is more enjoyable than 90% of the novels on this site, not to belittle other stories but Jackal Among Snakes is something else. The story starts slow with a guy that does not have much to his name, nothing but his memory of things that yet to happen, and he uses that to get what he needs to survive, he will gain many of the things in along the way, an empire, power, friends, family, and a character that you will love and respect. It is a difficult and a long road, but it trust me, it is worth going through, do not even think of a second that you might read few chapters and drop it, your time would not be wasted like that, you will read this story and enjoy it, and you might gain more than the time you lose reading this story. The Author has a new story called Disregard Fantasy, Acquire Currency (DFAC), the story is really good at chapter 27, but the chapters are behind a paywall at the moment.

    Now that LotM's book 2 COI officially ended. This story has gotten considerably more traction of views, I'm proud to know this book will gain more recognition over time. Also, I haven't read this for a year. It ended? D*mn that's unexpected

    Was waiting for it to reach 1000 chapters or something, didn't expect to return and find it was finished

      I doubt it actually ended. They add brackets to end chapters usually. The chapter was probably titled End

    checked on the authors patreon and chapter 709 is the last chapter except for a few epilogue chapters, so the full story should be on here soon.

      What’s the power system like?

        Well, it's no LOTM or Shadow Slave regarding the power system's depth, but I'd say it's pretty decent. There are both mortal and divine paths, and mortals can kill gods if they're strong enough/have enough potential (-the protagonist's aura kicking in, ijbol). The main cast of characters' abilities are relatively interesting. It's fun to read Argrave's character development (especially in the first 200 chapters, he does a bunch of crazy sh*t and somehow ACCIDENTALLY becomes the eye of the storm in the mortal world- he's so silly like that; he's just feeling a bit quirky today!) I won't mention anything more since I don't want to put spoilers, but if you're willing to read anything to pass the time, I suggest reading it! If you like to go in-depth into the novel while reading, then maybe reread the synopsis and decide if it seems like a novel you'd be fascinated/engrossed by~ In my opinion, it's a good novel overall.

        Currently at chapter 94, so far so good. The conversations and dialogues are probably the best I’ve read so far, the fights are top tier so far so good
