'Li,' Arthur repeated, his mind piecing together the riddle of a masked man he knew. Li spoke to no one but him, and when he did, he spoke in an ancient manner too.
'Can they be the same person?'
The white light that outlined the man's shape made it impossible to see his features. After staring at him for a while, Arthur realized he couldn't confirm his suspicions simply by staring.
"Are you..."
Arthur's voice trailed because he realized there was no way to confirm it. What did he know about Li, other than his abnormal strength?
Simply by being at the Demi-rank, Li could hold back Astra-Rankers using the sword he summoned. Arthur couldn't see a sword with the man.
'Is it a coincidence? Are they people with a similar name and ability?'
Arthur could remember Li's domain of gravity in great vividity. The way he made everyone unable to stand simply by being in his domain was indisputable proof that Li could control gravity.
I realized that I have a habit of trying to link everything together, even at the expense of my current subplot. Gala's subplot could have been resolved in a few chapters, but I felt that the Spirits Realm is a good place to flesh out the world and give background to past characters and greater mysteries.
A lot of stories I like are more linear while mine feels like a circle. And I need to make sure that the circle loops back to the same place it started at, and I'm having so much fun doing so.
Solomon's arc was introduced too early, with a foreshadowing so light that everyone called it plot-armor, but how could I not? I remember how many people felt that it was forced at the beginning or called it plot armor. Here we are, 367 chapters in, and we are still talking about the same events.
It's thrilling, isn't it?
