Chapter 3: Not A Chapter: Question!

Hello readers! I have a quick question to ask: How would you like this story to proceed? I am looking mainly for ideas focusing on a potential love interest, characters to have the mc interact with often, and also ideas on where to take the story from here. I planned originally to have the story take a dark turn later on, but I do not know if that idea would sit well with the reader. I also planned on having his special 'Golden Finger', if you will, being based on the powers and abilities on Artorias of The Abyss, a really interesting character from the Dark Souls game. His powers would include a superhuman physique, abyssal magic manipulation, sword mastery, and yes, his immortality which I planned to tie in to the dark theme. Please do let me know!
