Heya everyone! Bet you didn't see this coming from a mile away, huh? Thankfully in huge part to Xera Stark, it's happening. A new story. With newer beginnings, and different outcomes compared to the original Hero of Remnant. You didn't expect the same exact things did you? Of course not! We're changing it up a bit! Okay, a bit is underselling it. A lot would be more accurate.
While a huge amount of this story will differ from the original Hero of Remnant Series, it will also retain some of its concepts and ideas. And possible story elements. And who knows? Maybe even a blend of the two. But definitely something new.
And to clear it up before we start, yes, we mainly follow the perspective of my OC Dante from the Hero of Remnant series along with Veil of the Aether. And no, he is not Dante from any of the Devil May Cry series you may or may not have heard of. The only similarity is in name, that's it. If you came here expecting that after seeing the name "Dante", well, sorry to disappoint you, but that will not be the case. Not now or ever.
I'm writing it in conjunction to Xera Stark's Rogue Huntsmen. Maybe you've heard of me talking a lot about it in Veil of the Aether, sequel to the original Hero of Remnant, maybe not. In any case, it's a really awesome RWBY fanfic, and if I have to say, it is highly entertaining at every interval. Not a single moment is a bore and will definitely keep your attention through and through. So go check it out. See what I'm talking about with your own eyes. After all, his main OC and his team will be seen in my story as mine have already been seen in his. Only now, it'll be from my characters perspective (possibly perspectives as time goes on, who knows, it might be sooner than you think) of those happenings and events.
So, after a long and eager wait, I've finally come down to it. And it'll be just as fun as writing Veil of the Aether. Don't worry everyone, chapters of this story will be shorter than my other ones, at least 5-8K per chapter in this story. Shorter? Yes. Detracts from overall quality? Not likely.
In short, I hope you all enjoy this fresh, new perspective I will be giving you all. I know I will.

I know full well that what I ask of you and your family is a...selfish, selfish request. But as the way things are...I have no one else to turn to but you and your kin. To you, however, I personally make this request. Though wayward and...stubborn as my son may be...I ask that you guide him whenever he is lost along the way. But most importantly...I merely ask that you remain at his side. He has lost much... But you were the only one who was able to restore what little spirit he had left.
With my recent departure...I have placed a great, and terrible burden upon him and his siblings. One that will only realize itself before him later on the future. They cannot fight what is to come on their own. Only you and the many others you will meet along the way will be able to face this burden, and secure the peaceful future we have all worked endlessly to achieve. No matter how difficult it may be, or how difficult my son may be, please, always stand by him, and never abandon his side, even if he should stray far from you. This is all that this old man would ask of you. So long as you remember all that I say...even your wish for the future will come true soon enough.
May both of you find happiness together.
"Why are you always alone? Don't you ever talk to anyone else?" asked the younger girl.
"Not really..." Replied the boy nonchalantly, "I don't talk to them, they don't talk me. Besides, it saves me the trouble of a headache."
"Headache..?"
"If you haven't noticed, the majority of them, if not all of them, are morons. And I don't waste time with morons."
"That's not really nice!" She said a bit irritated with the boy.
He stopped sweeping the floor, glaring at her a moment before returning to his task.
"Neither are they… So I have no reason to be nice back to them. But I really don't do much to return the favor. Sometimes at least."
"But won't that make them more afraid of you?"
He fell silent for a few seconds before he replied.
"They should be. The things that people like you and I can do… Me in particular? They'd shiver endlessly if ever they knew the truth about me. You on the other hand? Hmph… They'd think you're cute moreso than scary."
"C-C-C-Cute?!" She asked, her voice like a tiny squeak as her white fox ears perked up and her white fox tail whipped back and forth rapidly.
The boy simply rolled his eyes at the display and continued sweeping.
"W-Well…" she began as she pressed her fingertips together constantly, "W-What do you think..?"
"I don't know what to think to be honest with you… You're really the only other person who's asking what I think besides the sisters."
The young girl's white fox ears folded against her head before they perked up immediately after.
"W-Well I want to know what you really think about me."
"You're nice to everyone, even me, so that's good. I guess. Ugh… Truthfully, you have a lot of good qualities, so I'm not going to bother going through them all. The only annoying thing about you is that you constantly bug me all hours of the day. Honestly… Don't you have other people to talk to?"
"Nope. I don't like everyone else all too much since they're mean to you a lot. But that's our secret, so shhh!"
He stopped sweeping a moment and stared straight at her. She was still waiting for his other response. And he knew she was waiting. Despite what he said earlier, he did actually enjoy her company whenever she approached him. It...made the long days a lot less lonely.
She at least deserved the response she wanted. Not only because it was what she wanted to hear, but rather because she did most definitely have her cute moments ever since she arrived here weeks ago.
"I'll never be afraid of you, you know…"
Yet again their gazes met, only for once...the boy seemed surprised.
"Sure you don't talk all too much except with me... And sure you can be a real grumpy-butt sometimes… But you're really nice deep down, even if you don't like showing it. So you're not scary and not mean! Just misunderstood by everyone else because they're just really rude and can't see what I see. So smile more! If no one else is going to be on your side, I always will!" She said proudly as she placed her hands on her hips.
He swore he felt his heart throb a bit. It was...an unexpected response. Even so, he had to ask. Just to be sure. There was still some doubt in him about her. Just a smidge though. Her response to his question would determine the rest.
"Do you mean that?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you mean what you said? Throughout this whole conversation I mean…"
"Of course silly." She said hugging him from behind, emphasizing her reply by wrapping her fox tail around his waist as she hugged him. "I'll follow you around everywhere. No matter what."
He didn't understand what he was feeling currently as she kept her hold of him. No...he knew full well what it was. He just never felt it before now.
Happiness.
(10 years later…)
The estate was nestled deep within the mountain near the top, a decently large village resting against the foundations below. There were not too many walls surrounding the village below, for the invisible barrier that covered the entire mountain and village was more than enough to keep out the Grimm.
The village itself had a touch of modern designs to it, but the main deigns of the village took on an ancient feudal-Japan look, along with numerous cherry blossom trees surrounding the village with quite a few of them located in different areas of the village. Shops, markets, houses; everything that would make a classic imperial style Japanese village could be found directly ahead.
The estate nestled within the mountains took on the same design and appearance of the original from the Apparition World. It was a massive palace-estate of the same ancient, feudal theme that spanned hundreds of acres throughout the mountain range, almost as large as the entirety of the village. Beautiful gardens and ponds could be seen in separate sections throughout the estate, along with numerous structures along the palace-estate, both large and small, that were likely storerooms, guest rooms and any type of room that was required for their needs.
On the outside of the estate was a beautiful black and white marble stairway that lead up from the village towards the palace. Towards the left side of the village below was lush, green farmland. And further left, they could see a pathway leading to what seemed to be a shrine. Towards the right of the village was a crystal clear lake with a few houses and stores located in the area.
Near the back of the estate was a wide-open, rectangular area that was surrounded with cherry blossom trees; the mesmerizing, pink cherry blossom petals littered the air in small amounts. Until they were forcibly moved aside by the swinging of swords.
Blades clashed against one another in repeated movements, each swing from their owners unrelenting and as blinding as lightning as sparks took their place alongside the cherry blossom petals. Each strike from both warriors was precise and calculated, meant as both a means to advance offensively whilst defending them from on another's attacks. It was apparent they were of equal ability and skill, seeing as none had managed to land an actual hit on the other for minutes now.
The pace of both katana and Longsword had slowed a bit, the warriors focusing a bit more on heavy handed hits in a attempt to hopefully overpower one or the other, it was only a matter of who would do so first. Their strategy soon changed when their blades clashed against one another, the two trying to overpower the other as sparks flew around them.
"Getting tired?" Asked the young man in a strained voice.
"Are you?" Asked the girl equally strained.
"Could use a break soon…"
The young man broke the clash and took two diagonal slashes at the girl, who blocked the slashes before ducking under a side swipe. This allowed her to flip backwards and attempt a kick, but the young man ducked backwards and avoided having her foot from hitting the underside of his chin.
After dodging, he lashed out at the young girl, who dodged that attack and reared back her arm, blade pointed directly at the young man. With blinding speed, she unleash a furious storm of stabs at her opponent, who seemingly struggled dodging her rapid series of stabs despite how quickly he dodged them.
When the opportunity presented itself, he parried one of her attacks, forcing her blade to bounce back when he blocked while thrusting his shoulder into the flat side of his blade, spinning around shortly after for a follow through attack. Deciding to take the attack head on, the girl blocked with her katana and was sent flying backwards.
She flipped in the air twice to recover and landed to a skidding halt, looking up in time to see the young man directly above her and ready to swing down. When she dodged to the side, she quickly blocked a side swipe and kicked the blade out of his hands, disarming the young man. Even so, he used the palm of his hand to smack the flat side of the blade hard enough to force it out of the girl's hands.
Their blades landed behind each other's backs, blade points stuck into the ground. They leapt away from each other a small distance, and lowered into stances, each one raising up their hands to prepare for battle yet again.
They lunged at one another with great speed, unleashing blow after blow as they either dodged or blocked one another's punches and kicks, but not without some difficulty. Both of them knew each other's strengths and weaknesses down to the finest point. It was hard to land a hit against the other since both were in sync with the other. Each one knew what they were thinking. And each were able to follow the others movements exactly in order to counter effectively.
Their continuous standstill eventually came to an end when the young girl delievered a double punch that forced the young man to stagger back. He meant to leap into the air and avoid her, but she had already beat him to it, moving in the air above him and delivering a strong axe-heel kick that smacked down into his arms that he raised to block. The young man immediately crashed into the floor withenough force to not crack the ground, but unleash a shockwave that forced up the young girl's sword into the sky.
The young man moved out of the way of her dive kick and swept her leg from underneath her, making to pin her to the floor and claim victory. However, it was quite the opposite. She managed a reversal midway, and managed to pin him to floor, the girl sitting atop him as she extended her hand and caught her blade from the air, keeping it hovered inches away from the young man's throat.
She always manages to catch me off guard near the end whenever we spar… How does she keep doing that? What's her secret? This wasn't so much a match of strength but of skill mainly. And in terms of skill, we're equal in that department… Huh… I guess I wasn't kidding when I keep telling people Inuba is way stronger than I am… Then again…it's only been three months since we've gotten here…
"It would seem as though I win this time...Master…" she finished leaning in closer to me.
She wasn't wrong. She did win. Fair and square. I seriously wish she'd drop the whole "Master" thing and use my actual name, rather than use it only when in public. People would get the wrong idea if they heard such a cute, innocent girl call someone Master just out of the blue. Plenty of people's thoughts would stray where they shouldn't. Plenty. And neither of us need that in our lives. Anyway, to solve one issue before we get to the other.
"U-Um… Inuba?"
"Hm? Yes?"
"Uh, not that you're heavy or anything, in fact you're very light, but...this is kinda an awkward position, so...could you..?"
She looked down for a few moments, realizing she was still on top of me before her face went completely red and she immediately, stood back up, muttering...words? They were incoherent, so I couldn't tell if she was making words or just speaking gibberish at this point.
"I-I'm so sorry!" She said bowing me to me numerous times.
"No worries. All good."
I picked myself up and dusted off my grey jeans before patting down my black long-sleeved shirt, tapping the sides of my black shoes with white soles against a tree nearby by to clean them up a bit too.
Inuba… Well…she basically wore what she did every. Only she wore less at the moment. All she wore currently was a sleeveless, black shirt made of some sort of nylon-spandex material that was skin tight and very form fitting. It did help keep her...more than ample chest area from bouncing too much in battles. Inuba also wore skin tight black sleeves that reached to her elbows, the sleeves made of the same nylon-spandex material her undershirt was made of. She didn't wear a skirt this time, but instead wore black short-shorts of the same exact material, black socks, and finally, white shoes with black soles.
My eyes again trailed towards Inuba's direction for a few moments when she turned to grab the Longsword I was using before she disarmed me of it in our sparring match. A few words came to mind every now and then when I glanced at her. Okay...more than a few words.
Alluring. Endearing. Stunning. Captivating. She was all these and more. Silky smooth, near-shoulder length white hair that shimmered slightly. Beautiful eyes, framed by long lashes, that were a crimson red that seemingly brightened the world. Soft, elegant lips. Smooth, porcelain-like skin. A beautifully slender figure. Curvy in all the right places. Ample breasts that were perky with a natural bounce, but still firm. It was like she represented the picture of perfection. And finally, let's not forget her white fox ears and white fox tail only seemed to add more to her already alluring form.
It is what defined her as a Kitsune. But not any ordinary Kitsune. Inuba and her family were direct descendents of the Fox Goddess Inari, and the Demon Fox Goddess Dakini. The two of them were the only gods I ever really considered or had a deep respect for. They were the only gods who were always on my side really. And that was something I appreciated greatly. And the two were very powerful gods, especially after I helped them rise to power to fix a system of injustice that had stood in place for far too long.
Being direct descendents, Inuba and her family are arguably the most powerful Kitsune of all the clans and family, even the most powerful clan of all the Yōkai that existed, surpassing even the might of the Dragon Yōkai clan. Inuba and her family were well respected throughout the Apparition World, both for their strength, their skill, their intelligence, their manners. Royalty in a sense. Not the stuck and pompous kind. No. As well respected as they are, they showed the same sort of love and respect in return, never assuming themselves to be higher or above the rest. Humble. It's something I liked about their family and their clan overall.
Her older brother Akihito wasn't like them in that sense, at least, not at first. He was always a bit of a hothead, especially when he was younger. Nasty temper that one had… But overtime he changed. He learned being hotheaded wasn't always the way to go about it. Now, he's virtually completely calm; unmovable, unshakable. Even so...there were times he displayed his previous hotheaded nature in battle, despite how subtle it was.
If anything, I'd say they made the right choice making Akihito the family head after his father disappeared many years ago. Asahi, Inuba's older sister, was most certainly a crowd favorite. In fact, she was the one who was first approached about leading Kitsukami Clan and ruling over the Apparition World. Even so, she respectfully declined the position and sent them Akihito's way. Her excuse was simple, saying she wasn't nearly as fit or as responsible for taking up such a task. Akihito was. As true as this may seem, I can't help but wonder at times whether or not Asahi cleverly wormed her way out of it and pushed it on Akihito.
So where did that leave Inuba and myself? First Lord and Lady, along with Asahi, just under Head of the House, where Akihito was. We held a high position of power. And a plentiful amount of responsibilities that Asahi pushed on us most of the time. I say "used to" because we're no longer on Primordial, where the Apparition World, that held Yōkai of all varieties, was a part of.
Many things happened over these years. Many grueling and vicious battles. Much bloodshed. Many tragedies…
Many hard fought and won battles. Millions, if not billions of lives saved. Many moments where hope had been restored…
Along with Inuba and her family, and my previous friends and allies, we saved Primordial, and The Worlds, a hundred times over. We weren't the only ones out there in the vast space of Creation. There were nearly an infinite amount of Worlds, each separated from one another and containing their own vastness of Space. Primordial was the First World, and as such, played host to numerous dimensions that were separated until Gateways connected them. A main example would be the Apparition World. Inuba's home. And throughout the numerous and arduous journeys I've undertaken over the years, my home too, just as much as Primordial was.
Where we were now was a different home that took a while to settle in. Three months to be exact. It turns out that saving the Worlds and saving their Peoples was an entirely separate matter from what I initially understood.
My responsibility...as well as the responsibility my friends held, was to protect the Worlds. And to us, that meant protecting the people as well. After the biggest crisis we ever faced threatened to destroy everything we knew and a loved, after destroying much of what we cherished already, I defeated this Rogue Angel from The Plane of Angels. But at a terrible cost.
He had already destroyed much around us. Took away innocent lives that did not deserve the fates that were given to them throughout that week were at war with one another. And that was when I made my decision.
I would undo everything wrong and evil that had been committed within that span of a week. I would undo the death he had caused.
After I had slain him and undid all the wrong he had committed, I was brought on trial by The Plane. Long had I upset the balance and structure of their "holier than thou" rules and ideals. When did doing the right thing become such a wrong and hated idea?
They tried thinking of executing me, but by then they knew I was immortal to any and all means they could think of. So instead, they exiled me. Tried to throw me in the deepest reaches of Creation where not even the faintest scope of light could reach me. Condemned to forever wander aimlessly in Darkness. But as you know...this didn't happen. Before I gave one final push to take down the Rogue Angel, I managed to prevent at least one death from happening…
Inuba's.
She thought I was in danger after I was pushed down and made to move me out of the way and...take the hit. Luckily, she escaped with minor injuries and was unconscious for the duration of the altercation, so she was safe and sound for the time I took care of the Rogue Angel. After my sentencing was concluded, and she woke up, she and a great many others protested my exile, but to no avail. So when the time came for me to be sent away, I did indeed leave. But not as most would expect. I was taken from Primordial by Inuba and ended up here.
Remnant. Our new home. Through intense usage of magic, Kareina, Inuba's mother, recreated the Kitsukami estate deep within the range of this mountain above the village below us. We are slightly secluded from the village, but people do come up to be healed by Inuba and Kareina's Cleansing Flame's, healing magic of the absolute best that there is available. No other form of healing magic can compete with theirs. With their help, even after losing my old powers, I gained new ones while living with them in the estate.
Now that I think about it…Inuba almost always seems to forget that I'm immortal, that I can't die despite how many times an enemy hits me or what they throw at me. And yet...she stills risks life and limb for me, even if it's unnecessary… Honestly…she can be so foolish at times… I couldn't help but smile a bit as she approached me with my sword in hand.
"I believe this is yours." She said handing me the practice sword.
Despite how durable these weapons were, Inuba and I managed to chip another set along the sharp sides of our weapons. It may just be sparring, but we still like to at least but some effort behind our blows. You do get better through training. Even if your opponent is as equally skilled as you are.
"Thanks…" I said as I grabbed my blade, rubbing the back of my neck, "Couldn't you have eased up a bit on the slam? That kinda hurt…"
It really did hurt. Which was strange. No one in my entire life has caused me to feel true physical pain. Only she has, and that was whenever we sparred… Why is that exactly? Is it due to our souls being linked to one another? Or some other reason entirely..? I wasn't sure. I didn't think about it all too much. There were too few variables to look at it as is.
"Wha-?! Oh, I'm sorry!" She said panickedly as she checked my back, making sure I was completely alright.
"Don't worry. It's all good. Just take it a bit easy next time is all I'm saying."
"I...I understand. Are you sure you're-?"
"I'm good. Don't worry so much. It'll take a lot more than that to take me down."
"Of… Of course." She said smiling at me warmly.
"So… What's the news on the Grimm? Has the barrier been keeping them out effectively?" I asked.
"It has. My mother set up the barrier in such a way that it distengrates lesser classes such as Beowolves and Ursii, even those at the Alpha level. Not only that, but it has become self-sustaining, drawing power from the sun constantly in order to store energy. That way if the barrier is damaged, the stored energy will be more than enough to repair it immediately. As for the amount of Grimm, less and less are crossing into our lands with each day, so st this point, we have nothing to worry about from the Grimm."
"Even so… We trade one plague of enemies for another…" I said with a sigh, "Nothing we can do about it. For now anyway. Well, except eliminating them whenever we come across them that is."
"I suppose so… Out of one mess and into another apparently…"
"Guess so… At least we can live a bit more comfortably than we used to. Not having to worry about all the nonsense of the other Worlds at least."
"Yes… We have that at least… Even so, you can never return home now… Doesn't that upset you?"
"A little bit. But we have to make due with what we have. And this is all we have for now. I don't mind this being my new home. It's...nice. We can finally take things at our own pace for once. So that's what we'll do."
"If that is your wish, then I'll abide by it. Oh… Shall I draw the bath for you first, Master?"
"Hmmmm… No thanks. You can go first. I'll do it myself later."
"A-Are you sure? Perhaps I can maybe-"
She stopped suddenly and blushed furiously before slapping her hands on her face, muttering silently to herself.
"I-I'll be going f-first then…" she said walking off rather...sadly?
Why did she just get sad a bit all of a sudden? Honestly...she's a bit strange at times…
"Yo, big brother! What up?"
Of course, I almost forgot these two.
"Ciel, Leo. You just got back?"
"Indeed. We've completed today's inquiry of groceries. We even managed to buy these." Said Leo as he pulled out a box from one of the many bags he carried.
I nearly drooled when I saw the box. Graham crackers. And...good lord! One bag just filled with them?! Honestly, best little sister and brother ever! I grabbed one of the boxes and immediately began to dig in.
Ciel and Leonard. My younger brother and sister. A month after coming to Remnant, I found out that they had been living here for most of their lives. At the time, I only had the faintest Aura Signature, so it was very difficult for them to track me down. It turns out Aura is the truest form of power, or at least the truest form of my power. So what was my old power then? Doesn't matter for now. I have my box of Graham Crackers to attend to.
Ciel was well balanced between petite body and a forbidden beauty in her slender frame, and for someone of the age, well-developed and well-endowed. Which means all sorts of creeps would be after her… Luckily, I don't have to worry about her at all. She's a monster in terms of strength and could crush any man that's trying to be touchy feely and or creepy. Or rather, she could kill a man with her thumb. Or pinky. Either or. In short, she can take care of herself.
Her attire consisted of a white sleeveless blouse, a black dress vest with two knee-reaching tails that fit her body snugly, leading down into a black pleated skirt. The vest's trim and interior were white as well. The piece of attire didn't reach past her mid-thighs. Beneath all of that, she wore black knee high boots with white zippers on the outer side of the boots. Her shoulder length hair was tied up into a ponytail.
Leo's attire wore a white long-sleeved dress shirt, covered by a black, thin fabric jacket with white trim and an upturned collar and a hood he didn't currently have on. Finally he wore simple gray jeans and gray shoes. His hair was like mine, chin length, but a lot more messier, whereas my hair was brushed down and slightly parted to the left side of my face, a few stands just holier got over my left eye.
Their most apparent features was their pure white hair, like me, and bright sky blue eyes, also like me. It's also what helped tell they really were my relatives. That, and the rings each of the three of us wore on our left index fingers.
They were fairly simple things really. The rectangular stone set in the metal band was obsidian black with numerous diamond shaped patterns cut into the stone. In the center of the stone was a small white metal shield crest with a black background that had the letter "A" in white colored metal etched into the black background of the shield crest. The rectangular metal surrounding the ring stone, as well as the metal band, was colored pure black with intricate white colored etchings carved deep into the band.
For the most part, Ciel and Leo's rings were the same, only the rectangular metal surrounding their rings stones, as well as the metal bands, were colored pure white with intricate black colored etchings carved deep into the white metal.
They told me their rings looked as such because they had their balance between Light and Dark Powers, whereas I only mainly used dark powers. Previously at least. They told me in fact that my new powers, the unlocking of my Aura, was a representation of not only my true power, but also my Light Powers to a degree. If that's the case, the ring should have changed colors. He couldn't exactly figure out why it happened, but Leo determined that ring had long since lost its power. Even so...every now and then, when I stared at my ring, I can't help but feel it empower me in some way at times. Even now as I stared at it while eating.
"So, how'd sparring go with Foxy?"
"Well, it was pretty even all the way until the end."
"So she kicked your butt at the end is what you're saying."
"Pretty much."
"Come now Ciel, it's nothing special." Said Leo giving his input on the matter.
"Dude, I bet he just let her win in the end."
"Not really…" I told them.
Ciel seemed more surprised of this fact than Leo was. I may not be as strong as I used to be, but I'm plenty strong as I am now. Compared to Inuba...well…
I never lie unless I'm asked to and if it's for a good reason in the end. Luckily I don't lie almost ever. And trust me when I say that I'm not lying when I say Inuba is stronger than I am.
"What can I say… She's just that strong…" I told them.
"You're joking right? Tell me he's joking."
"Apparently not. We may have seen records of their previous fights and the training session and sparring matches she has with brother, but we've never personally seen Miss Kitsukami fight in an actual battle before. It would be most unwise to underestimate her capabilities."
"True enough. But it's hard to imagine big brother losing to anyone. Much less her. Don't get me wrong big brother, I like Inuba and everything. It's just...well…"
"I know, I know. Just looking out for me is all." I said patting the top of her head.
She seemed to really like the patting. I think she liked the idea of doing a good job and being rewarded for it.
"Well, I'm going to go see if Inuba is done yet so I can clean up too."
"You do realize there's two bathes, right?" Said Ciel.
"Ah, that's right, I almost forgot. Thanks for that." I told them walking off.
I could've sworn Leo tried to say something. But then I heard a smacking noise, so I assumed Ciel must have smacked Leo. She had a tendency of doing that a lot. Not that it hurt him. After all, both Ciel and Leo had the same insensitivity to pain I did, so they didn't really feel pain either.
"Right then, I'm off. Take the groceries inside so we can make lunch later."
"Roger!" Said Ciel as I took my leave.
I left to go take a bath, unaware of how busy my morning would be soon.
See? I told you things would be different. You may have noticed, you might not have. You'd know just a little teensy bit more if you read the original Hero of Remnant. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying drop this and go read that first. Though, you should read it whenever you can... I hear it's a pretty awesome story. *wink wink*
But yes! Reading the first story isn't a requirement or anything to understand what the heck is going on in this one. You can just jump right in to this one.
Ohhhhhhhhh how exciting this will be from now on. I hope you're all as equally excited as I am. As for update scheduling... Hmmm... Let's do every two weeks like we've already been doing. What? Even I need time for myself. And time to write this and Veil of the Aether since I'm going back to college in two days. It's how it is folks.
Right, so before I send you all off...
