THE GRAVES OF HEIRS

Hi! I’m J and this has been a side-project of mine for a while. For fun I got into Choice Script and decided this would be the perfect time to start working on TGOH more. This is my first stab at a devblog so we’ll see how it goes!

Carmine Ehrenreich is the villainess of your favourite series, The Graves of Heirs; the Queen of Apostates, she makes a pact with the elder god Deathe and tears the titular heirs’ lives apart. When the series ends with her death, you assume that’s that in the story of the possessed sorcerer and close the book.

Only problem is after you’re murdered by… something, you wake up to a proposition offered by Carmine herself; she hates the way the series ended and needs your help to change the story. Before you know it you are trapped in the position of the young Carmine in the horrific Ehrenreich Organization to learn the magic that turned her into a villain. Alongside the first of the heirs you must now make your way through a school year beset with magical mishaps, murderous teachers, and monsters that may or may not be hunting you down in the middle of the night. 

Will you save the other students, or leave them to their fate? Will you help the heir, organize his death, or take the place of protagonist yourself? Hindsight is twenty-twenty, after all. You know how events are going to happen - what will you do to change the story?

Choose your gender (m, f), appearance, personality, and the magic you wield. 

Choose to be one of 10 fantasy races.

Make friends with a familiar-like creature called a revenant that follows you throughout your adventures.

Use your knowledge of the series to ‘predict’ the future.

Get good grades.

Make a pact with the personification of paranoia and chaos: Deathe.

Murder the faculty.

Destroy your school.

I got real sick in the second week of November and I’ve been taking it easy. That chronic illness life lmao 😆 thyroid storm my old friend lol. I’ve also been looking into starting a little TGOH discord server, in addition to some other things.

Life’s been hectic but I’m hoping to post the update before the new year...? I should stop giving myself deadlines because I always get sick and can’t do it... but the hope and goal is in and around New Years... 😖 My New Years resolution is to be better about posting here I swear!

As always, thanks for your support and happy holidays! I’ll get to my inbox and notifs soon 😅

Got destroyed by a migraine for basically the entire week, but I'm finally feeling better and logged on to see this:

Progress: Chapter One - Part Three

It’s when my snaky-looking sin here ripped the knight’s eyeball. My MC is a male, but the People call him with female pronouns (or Am I just tripping balls here?)

Thank you so much for reporting this! You are not tripping balls, but I guess I was when I wrote this lol.

The teachers actively encourage fighting - if a student dies... well, that's on the student, isn't it? Depending on the teacher, the MC would either get rewarded or 'detention'. Detention can be anything from helping to sort paperwork to being forced to spend the night outside the dorms with the super cuddly and definitely not murderous monsters.

Astasus/Vitalius: Through it all, he'll be in denial. With all you've been through, there's just no way. The mental gymnastics he goes through to justify you is borderline Olympic, but even after he realizes he can't lie to himself anymore, he still can't find it in himself to hate you. If you need him... well, he'll just have to work hard to make sure he's always useful.

Eratine: You're just like everyone else - he can't forgive you. Then again, maybe he's the idiot for getting his hopes up in the first place. Part of him wants to use you like you used him, but deep down he knows he can't manage it. He's wary of you now, but you never really managed to gain his trust in the first place - no one really does.

Well, Author J,I wish you have a amazing day and night! remember to drink lot of water and eat lot of yum-yum !!

Lot of love,

Blob

Lmao this is like a letter xD

Thank you so much, Blob! I'm always so happy to hear from you! ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you take care of yourself as well!

Lots of love to you as well!!!

So I chose the first option, "Sometimes they just wouldn't come home, and she'd let me spend the night" at the beginning when talking about our parents. Then it says "Even after my parents died [...]". When talking to Revvy I chose that I'm not close to anyone back home and mc says "I mean, my parents are there, but I haven't talked to them in years" 🤔

I removed it because I discriminate against Deathe stans
