The Last chapter was short due to cutting out a large summary of the events that resulted in the aftermath. Unironically, I created the entire baseline for the start of the next Arc, and keeping it in would've spoiled it instead of letting Orion discover it.
That is why it was cut short. To avoid spoilers. I have it saved elsewhere for reference now.
Hopefully, the 3300 (new record, avg is 1000) word chapter previously evens it out for everyone! Please continue to support the creation of this FF with power stones! It is greatly appreciated!
---------------------------------------------
That is the first volume done! As you can tell, Orion is not dead.
Vander, Claggor, and Mylo are still alive!
So is Silco and his criminal empire though which is being built on Shimmer!
Multiple questions for readers need to be asked. Nothing is guaranteed if we go down any of these paths. When I start either today or tomorrow I might write something completely different.
But I want to know your opinions, this is a Fan fiction after all!
Also being a Fan Fiction: I did mention the ending would be love it or hate it.
Can't make everyone happy though, especially when romance kicks off.
This is a general outline of how things may progress. Nothing is concrete. This story so far has changed far beyond what I originally planned, including the more sadistic ending.
TWO PLOT CHOICES:
Wild magic has caused an anomaly!
Transportation to a different land and making his way back to Piltover before the disaster of the Hexgates:
Ionia,
Demacia,
Noxus,
Freljord
And the many others::::
This runs into other problems with the timeline still ((Read Timeline to Plot section))
or
Time-skipping forward 7 years to match the Arcane series- Waking up older and in the same spot, continuing the story of Zaun and the Arcane.
Plenty of people came here for this region, and we've it built up quite a bit!
Some changes would have to be made for future connections. Such as Singed leaving and returning after the chemical attacks on Ionia for other lore events to happen through Runeterra. Thus changing Arcane's plot a bit too.
##Romance## - Obviously without a time skip, every FMC is still gonna be a kid (read below). We have to be fine with that and the continued lack of romance for a while longer if we take the first route of transportation to a different land.

Attempting to straighten the Timeline to plot
Following Arcane plot timeline, and not League of legends age timeline for Arcane characters only:
There is no strict mention of age I could find other than Jayce being 24 then 31 after Act 1 I believe.
The current year is 987 AN upon the explosion at Riverside.
With age in parenthesis: Orion was born in 971 (16), Vi 972 (15), Jinx 975 (12).
If my research is correct: Characters from other regions, such as other female leads, were born according to League of Legends lore:::
Irelia 972 (15), Taliyah and Ashe 973(14), Lux and Akali 977(10)
Other characters like Garen and Sylas, Shen and Zed, Jhin, Tryndamere, Darius and Draven ect... would be around Jayce's age of 24 or older.
Except for Tryndamere, he is closer to Orion's age.
Yes, Jayce at the age of 31 was hitting on Caitlyn at the age of 22. 9 year gap. Not unusual, seen it plenty, but there you go.
Even if he had 2 kids though, he would still only break even with his child-murdering rampage.
Anyway, in short, it seems Orion's just gunna be the young squeaker in the awkward middle no matter where he lands.
--------------------------------
Other than that, I'll be updating the synapsis on the front, the art, and discord should be up there too. Write in the comments any further questions, concerns, and suggestions moving forward!
Everything is still being written chapter by chapter.
As mentioned at the start however, I did accidentally create new Act 2 lore, which breaks that 'chapter by chapter' writing a little.
UPDATE::: Adjusted AI cover art & Synopsis! Discord in description too!
:::::Edit:::::: Also please leave reviews now that the first 'Arc/Act' is done! Would help out greatly, both the negative and the positive!
