Demon's Reign

ARC 3: The Undercity


Hello, my kind readers! This is mora. I'm back again. I'm writing these bits just after I finish editing the parts that came before them. As you can see by the date ARC 2 took me whole two months to edit. Honestly, I didn't expect it to take so long considering I made sure to put in at least 2-4 hours every single day. But sometimes things are just like that.

Now, when I initially started plotting this story out this arc was not a part of it. Nor was ARC 3 if I'm completely honest. I'm getting a little ahead of myself here.

So, just like last time. I would like to give you some background on how this Arc came to be.

Initially, I had intended for Zeke's introduction to be this long emotional journey through his life. However, after writing that segment I felt that It didn't quite fit the fast paced model of the story I wanted to tell. So as a result I scrapped most of it. Many of the characters who I showed in this Arc were supposed to emerge much later. But I feel like giving them a sneak peak introduction before they come up later really worked out.

As for the elephant in the room. Haze was not a character I had planned for the story. But he turned out super well, he is by far my favorite antihero/antagonist in this arc. A large part of the inspiration behind him came from the fact that I don't want to have any traditional villains in this story. I know it might seem a little counter intuitive considering how Ludwig turned out, but I want the characters who we consider to be villains only appear so until we get to know them better.

I hope to talk more after finishing the next arc. Stay safe.

Love,

~Mora
