The Tournament Arc and Big Tipper Notes
Added 2025-02-09 19:03:10 +0000 UTCWell, we're finally here.
Before I talk about the tournament arc, I want to say if you haven't joined my discord or if you have, please hop on over and shoot me a message so I can add you to the private spoilers chat for OP Wizard.
I'm thinking about creating cool Master Rank side characters for the tournament, and if you have some ideas, let me know.
Also, in others news ... OP WIZARD IS GETTING A WEB COMIC!
My artists and management team are working on the contract and concept art right now. I'll probably have a few pieces to show you guys as the web comic gets developed, but from what I seen so far, it's gonna be fucking lit.
Do keep in mind that a web comic is a reimagining of events from the original story. There's no way we can fit everything that's happened in OP Wizard down to the smallest details in a web comic.
Also, chances are I might be the one who'll fund the comic myself, and web comics are expensive, like around $2000 an episode.
But if this works ... can you imagine all the cool merch? I'll probably get to make a graphic novel and sweaters and shirts and stuff? So fucking exciting!
Oh, and the Big Tipper Patrons get to see the concept art before anyone else.
Other than that, we're now at the TOURNAMENT ARC!
What's interesting is that we still have some room until Book 3 ends. Plenty of time to introduce the splendor and insanity of Carrowmore, to see some new characters (plenty of rivals and haters there, and maybe a few friends), and to see Zarian adjust... after going through some hellish training.
I'm glad things went in this direction. It feels like the series/Zarian needed it, and it's a great way to explore his character while the other main supporting cast get some room to develop themselves off screen.
The way things are going now weren't originally planned. But I felt like there needed to be a change up. A way to shake things up. Which is why I'm so glad Ariana stepped in as our adorable and evil little sister and reminded us of how she's the ultimate Big Bad Evil Gal in the bestest way possible.
(I know some people don't like it when an OP MC struggles, but it was cathartic to write, honestly.)
The empire can/will grow on its own. All the many friends who've we met and survived are there or interconnected. And Zarian's best people: Naomi, Bianca, Hannah, and Gilbert are on their own solo adventures/tribulations. And there's a 10,000 year old elf monster watching over them just in case.
So, after going through absolute and hellish training that squeezed six months of pressure into two months, it's time for Zarian (and his closest companion Para) to learn more about themselves while being a bit more selfish.
So .... WHO'S READY FOR A "MULTIVERSE" TOURNAMENT AND ALL THE POWER FANTASY SHENANIGANS IT'S GONNA BRING?!
I hope you are because I spent hours working on Zarian's tournament-ready profile. Hours!
Comments
I wonder what are all of the achievements rewards and the effect of the new skills and traits. Oh damn. Web comic that is good. Full rip Zarian with training. His goal should be getting overwhelming darkness to 200% he needs to be well past his limits. I can imagine he would be at like 5-8% unsealed.
