Lapistia

Well, promise him the treasures from his house. Say, we'll split the loot equally, and there's plenty of it there. I wrote this a couple of days ago as a possible motivation for some characters.

"So, there's this unremarkable wooden hut in the forests of Melkior, and it's just packed with all sorts of artifacts and valuables, I swear!"

Some people wanted to buy treasure maps here, so it's suitable for such adventurers. No one denies that the motivation isn't the strongest and it's not for everyone. But it's better than nothing.

Overall, we don't have any alternatives. Offering a large monetary reward (and the payment for such a dubious job should outweigh more reliable options) for saving a vampire that you've only known for a couple of hours is even more absurd. And the desire to explore the Nihon more closely is only suitable for some mages. Moreover, it's not a fact that such mages wouldn't run away with Sarnissa's head.

Well, Saghar is just reckless and always looking for adventure, so when he heard about what happened, he decided to join the fun.

Why fight for your country when you can go to an unknown place to save a stranger?
Motivation: 10/10

Yes, I also liked the motivation.

Boo, I lost my train of thought after this break and just can't seem to continue; the ideas aren't flowing... Not to mention that I can't find one of the save files anywhere. I don't know how it will go from here; I wouldn't want to make a half-baked continuation.

For now, I'll just post what's new regarding default skills and Nozenrot-Taosia; for the latter, the second part of the skills (with terrible icons that I made in Ps in two minutes) should be tied to affinity.

We need to get ahead and generate a Taoist.

And die in the arena.

I still want to play as Sagara. Sorry if I'm bothering you, but, um, I mean, I care about your experience and everything.

I still want to play as Sagara.

Life is pain, isn’t it?

What is the antonym for the word "pain"?

Enjoyment.
I almost burst out laughing.
