That’s certainly the plan. Unfortunately the way formatting works on Webnovel means I need to do a bit more than a straight copy-paste job to post here, since I made heavy use of underlining for system messages and to represent when the MC is using their quirkiest power. I’ve got the entirety of book one finished, but lack the patience to read and edit the entire book quickly while also writing the sequel and another side project at the same time.
That would have been the smart thing to do, yes. Instead he tried to drop ten feet, rolled terribly, and rolled max fall damage. And yes, for many things I do legitimately roll.
"Alright. Everyone come back down." We all started to descend, but it wasn't quite as much fun as climbing up. I looked down, gauged myself to be maybe ten feet off the ground. I was a good bit more athletic and I was some kind of video game character; I figured I could safely jump down. I could not.

I was never a big raider, other than some dabbling with Naxx and Tournament in WotLK. Despite that, I also just kinda lost interest while leveling in Pandaria. I didn’t find the leveling process all that interesting, as there wasn’t much challenge and the writing wasn’t good enough to keep me invested on its own. This may shock my readers, but I’m primarily a lore nerd. The lore got bigger and dumber as expansions came out, and while some of it was interesting it was frequently just… ok.
Second, I need to build up my retinue, preferably with women that can help keep me safe and well connected. Once I've done that, I should be able to try to be proactive. If I keep these priorities in mind I should probably be able to survive through the next five years. Of course, I stopped playing halfway through the Mists of Pandaria expansion, so that's where most of my prior knowledge will run dry. Eh. Who am I kidding? This will probably be over way before then, and that should probably fill me with existential dread. I smiled. I'm pretty ok with that, given that the other option was being raw material; stress resistance was a good purchase.

That’s TBC era. They aren’t in the horde yet. In classic era, you’re genuinely more likely to find a hot high elf girl in Stormwind than a hot blood elf girl in literally any horde city. They EXIST and Erich tracks them down eventually, but they aren’t very active at this point in time. Not a starting zone.
Both rewards seemed worth pursuing, and the tasks reasonably doable. I don't know if Drusilla actually deserves to become an outcast, but if she's in my retinue she can leave along with me once I finish Alliance Boot Camp. I need every advantage I can get.

Muscle girls aren’t my cup of tea, nor are furries or necrophilia. I only really find troll girls particularly attractive of the original 4 horde races. Erich gets around to them, but it takes time.

Company provided appearance change is pretty unnecessary with body runes and disguises from tempest jewelry. As for Martial Talent? The logic was “magic op so I can probably get by without having both Soul and Martial talent” Is this objectively correct? No. It’s also not objectively incorrect, but he regrets it enough that he picks up martial talent when he can. It’s just not his absolute first priority
Which is a tactic he uses with moderate frequency. Of course, this is Warcraft, so most of the really ancient powerful ladies look like they are in their 30s at the oldest and exceptionally hot.
Body Talent (Body Runes) body will be optimized for health and athleticism. All major physical deficiencies and injuries will be healed upon joining retinue. Applies to all members of retinue.

Fraid not. I’m only loosely aware of overwatch lore due to the fact that I don’t play FPS games or any variations thereof. My first rule of fanfic is that if I’m going to muck around in a setting I better be DAMN well acquainted with it.
No worries! It’s actually already done, and has been for over a year now. The main reason it isn’t all on WN yet is that copy-pasting 330 chapters takes time. Between 2 other stories I’m currently writing (one a side story about a veteran tester from The Company and one a loose adaptation of a pathfinder adventure path in isekai form), my actual job, and the fact that I’m a dad? Squeezing in time to schedule 14 updates a week is not at all a certainty!
Thank you, Thomas. :D
