Excuse me!! The amount of different variations you did for the Nikke fight scene?! You want me dead. Choosing flirt options for Nikke if you are a gorgon is 🔥🔥. THE BITE, THAT BITE.
“though he doesn’t sound in pain so much as he...”
As he what?!? And the fact he avoids your gaze. My man likes it rough 😭
Seriously your IF is amazing. It has such a replay value like when you updated I always play from the start and as I forgot my previous choices I pick what I feel at that moment and I get like what? that’s new even when I had played that chapter a couple of times already.
You should really feel proud of your work! Now remember to take care and REST.
P.S: In the fight scene whatever I did I always won, it took me a while to lost to him. Nikke you are no match for my MC. Sorry 😂. Also sorry for all this rambling I just wasn’t expecting that bite scene like I was let’s play one last time today but with a gorgon MC now and woah!
I was kicking my feet giggling the entire Nikke fight if I am being completely candid. This man... this little bastard... this little guy... I don't control him. I know I'm the literal author, but I just write what he tells me to at this point 😔
Also I hope you know the fact you won every match is like... a genuine accomplishment lmao. Kudos to you!
And I will *definitely* be resting once I get all these bugs + typos fixed 😌

Syuen with a Nikke S/O
Content warning: UNPROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS?!?!
Very light spoilers ahead.
》 Oh boy.
Syuen:
(Would a Nikke even be considered a race?)
》 Jokes aside, unless you were already very close with or already in a relationship with Syuen beforehand as a human, maybe when she was a scientist or even before then, you're going to be spending the rest of your long life kicking rocks on the surface. You already lost.
》 She's most likely playing a large part of the reason you're even in the position you are now. They stopped really trying to make males into Nikkes ages ago, too many complications, and at the end of the day, it wasn't really worth the cost when females were much easier to work with. But if something were to happen to you, whether it be a life-threatening injury or something of the sort, you bet she's pulling every string she has and using every asset to make sure you live. Even if it is as a... worthless pile of junk Nikke.
》 She's been lying if she said she wasn't at least a little happy when you fired your weapon and turned out to be an SSR.
》 She does see becoming a Nikke as a fate worse than death, but that's for her. Maybe it is hypocritical, but she would rather have you as a Nikke than dead. If she manages to care for some Nikkes like Matis or even Rupee to an extent, she can deal with it if it's for her S/O.
》 Well, one upside is you get to spend more time with her! You're kind of under her direct command now. Forget your old job. You're now the secretary working under the CEO of Missilis! No way in hell you're going to the surface. Already almost lost you once, and she's not trying to do it again. You can be one of the most powerful Nikkes out there for all she cares, but you're not leaving her side.
》 She can try to tone Nikkephobia if it makes you uncomfortable. She understands Nikkes a bit better now. She did before, too, but now that it's something closer to her... Nikkes are more similar to people than she'd like to admit. She may be too prideful to really say it, and she knows how they can be treated better than anyone, but she gets it. She won't be throwing any Nikke pride parades any time soon, but she'll be more empathetic. Even Nikkes have loved ones and lives, after all. Most of them are still disposable pieces of scrap metal though. Sorry not sorry.
》 She will throw hands for you, though will usually just be Syuen before resorting to that. Luckily, not many people even know you're a Nikke, being a male and all, but some people are perceptive. If they're a Nikkephobe, there may be hell to pay. She wasn't just spouting hot air when she wanted to fight Ingrid. Wouldn't expect it from someone her size, but she knows how to fight. If someone decides it's a good day for some good ol' discrimination, Syuen disagrees. Those hands are rated E for everyone.
- "Excuse you and your trash heap of a restaurant?" The petite CEO sneers, glaring a hole through the head of the manager.
"I'm sorry ma'am. We can't serve that thing. If you start treating them like humans-" They flinch as Syuen cuts them off in her usual bratty tone.
"Do you know who I am?" She snaps, crossing her arms with a huff.
"Yes, ma'am. I'm aware of who you are but with all due respect-"
"I see. You've lost your damn mind. Keep babbling, and I'll help you set it straight. We came here to eat, not to hear your barking, dog. Get us our damn food or pay the price."
"Syuen, you really don't have to cause a scene..." You mutter, sinking back into your seat. It wasn't exactly uncommon, but it was still embarrassing when it happened.
Syuen just glanced at you and sighed. "I'll give you one more chance. Serve us like a good little dog before I put you down."
"I'm sorry, but we don't serve their kind. If you want to feed it, you'll have to take it to another establishment."
Syuen stands up, swiftly kicking their foot out from under them and sending them tumbling to the ground. Everyone who wasn't already looking definitely was now. Syuen steps on their fallen form, digging her heel into their back as she stares down at them. "You ignorant piece of trash. You dare ruin our date? I'll sue you into the ground!"
"Yep, that's enough here."
"Hey! Put me down!" Using your enhanced strength, you toss Syuen over your shoulder and start silently making your way to the exit. "Let me teach that idiot a lesson!"
》 Best to keep her on a leash before she ends up doing something that'll make her look too bad.
》 She will at least get to make you into a celebrity of sorts. You're her S/O so it'll make her look better and put you above the other Nikkes in the eyes of the public. It's a win-win.
》 Speaking of other Nikkes, she wants you to avoid interacting with them if possible. You have her. No reason to go and make friends with scrap metal.
》 Unless it's Matis. It's no secret that she plays favorites, and they just so happen to be up there. If you go on the surface for any reason, they're sure to be with you to keep you safe. She'll allow you to bond with her favorite squad.
》 There aren't many dates to speak of with Syuen. She's a CEO and doesn't have time to waste with that sort of thing. You spend almost all your time with her at work anyway. If it two do go out, it's relatively rare, but she'll spoil you at an expensive restaurant or walk through Royal Road. She'll bring you as a +1 any events she goes to if you want to count that.
》 While she can fight and enjoys clocking people who get a bit mouthy from time to time, she still expects you to defend her. She didn't dump all those resources into you so you can stand there and look pretty. Random people upset at her, rogue Nikkes, or even assassination attempts. You'll have to have her back. Put all of that state of the art equipment to use and crush anyone who tries to hurt her. Especially those pesky rookie commanders.
》 I can't really think of anything else, so 😭😭 Syuen Supremacy 😭😭

Ok nikkeposting but I had to talk about my favorite Pilgrim. Nikke spoilers below the cut but yall probably don't care lmaooo. Believe it or not Nikke has a fantastic story
Goddess squad infodump:
The members of the Goddess Squad are named after Grimm's Fairytales (Rapunzel, Red Hood, Rapunzel, Snow White), with the exception of Dorothy (who is named after the Brothers Grimm's mother, and is the first of the Grimms Models in-universe) Scarlet and Liliweiss (who is a bible reference), , and the original nikke, who all other nikkes were based on). In-universe, the Grimms models were famous for their strength and effectiveness. One of their ranks, a second-generation Grimms Model named Cinderella, was corrupted and became Anachiro the Heretic. She was defeated, though not killed by the Goddess Squad shortly after.
In the main story, the Goddess Squad are living legends after they defended the Ark during its construction, before the World Government betrayed them by ordering them to destroy the elevator and seal the Ark before they were able to enter, the events of which were detailed in 0.5 Anni's Overzone event. By then, Scarlet has mellowed out, though.
1st Anni's Red Ash event gave us our first glimpse of Scarlet's original personality, where she was closed off and obsessed with avenging her sister, whose sword she carries. She frequently picks fights with the other members of the Goddess Squad with the intent of improving her abilities.
~
Ok infodumping done:
Here's the thing though, is in Korean, Scarlet's name in Korean is Hongryeon, named after the second sister in the story of Janghwa and Hongryeon.
It's a tragic story, where the sisters' father remarries to a woman that abuses them horribly, before framing Jangwha for having a miscarriage before her marriage. Janghwa runs away, and the stepmother's oldest son drowns her in the lake. Hongryeon followed soon after, taking her own life in her grief. A rash of mayors' deaths followed the girls' before one had a dream where the sisters appeared to him, and told him to inspect the 'evidence' of Janghwa's miscarriage, which revealed that the alleged miscarriage had been a rat that had been killed and placed in Janghwa's bed. The stepmother and the eldest son that had killed Janghwa were executed, and the father remarried. The twins he had by his third wife were named Janghwa and Hongryeon after the daughters he had lost.
This could indicate one of two things: Scarlet represents the original Hongryeon, whose sister died. Or she could be the second Hongryeon, seeking to avenge the Janghwa and Hongryeon before her.
If you read my fat lore infodump earlier, you'll notice that Cinderella was missing from the original Goddess Squad. As a second-gen, she was produced after the first few, and was corrupted before she was able to join their ranks. You'll also notice that Hongryeon's story occupies a similar place, a girl that is horrifically abused by a stepmother before an authority figure finally discovers the truth. Unfortunately for the original Janghwa and Hongryeon, it was too late for them. Anyway I'm obsessed with Scarlet.

As someone that likes to see your thoughts with DrakeNieR stuff, what are your thoughts about SINoALICE recently being confirmed canon to Drakenier due to The Library existing within The Cage in Reincarnation?
Ooh I haven’t actually played SINoALICE and I’m not caught up personally on reincarnation (but I don’t care about spoilers bc I have no context for them and I care more about the lore pieces anyway)
But I’m not surprised - the drakengard 3 crossover event that it had already made it canon in my mind lol. Yoko taro has certain MOs as a creator, and not that I think I’m on his level, but as someone who is also super into big expansive timelines and whatnot, I kinda figured it was connected. It seemed too deliberate to just be a fun crossover Easter egg. Too much effort went into it; same with the FFXIV YoRHa dlc
(On the other hand, the collabs with just skins like for that awful Nikke or whatever is just for money and building revenue, IMO. There’s no substantial lore there in my mind)
Since the whole Schtick is saving timelines and multiverses and alternate dimensions, this does not surprise me in the slightest. And in fact, completely excites me. 😂
I also think Voice of Cards is completely part of DrakeNieR canon too even tho he says it isn’t (Forsaken maiden I’m looking at you 👀👀👀 the maiden sacrifice and the Goddess system from Drakengard 1 are too similar to be a coincidence and I always interpreted it as a folktale that came about after the Intoners died)
ALSO, it 100% leads me to believe he is working on something HUGE for the next project.
Everyone is always bitching about “oh when is the next game coming out” but like 1) game dev takes time and 2) he’s probably already working on it otherwise why would he be dropping so much lore at such a rapid pace 👀
I’m wondering if something will be revealed at the orchestra concerts too - there’s a new story and the nier anime is now a Divergent timeline
