I don't think so, but I do hope so
Because in the case of these Players, there was unfortunately no possible agreement... Only a camp of winners and one of losers. More precisely, a camp of the living, the other filled with the dead.

The Charm, though I'm sure the Ledger won't complain
Ceythie and the other veteran commanders outside even momentarily believed it was an attack, to the point of raising the alarm before realizing it came from 'the one they were supposed to be loyal soldiers to'. A false alarm was announced, and a wide security perimeter encircled their tent to keep the curious at bay.

Interesting that "As" and "While" seem to be interchangeable, I've gotta get back into leaning French.It should be As in these Paragraphs, While doesn't work in English here
Well, as long as we're here, there's no chance things will go south. Jake sneered inwardly as he continued to march.

When you get strong enough, bullying is about as bad as an ant trying to steal a crumb of your food. I'm happy so long as he doesn't change his plans and goals due to the "pressure" put on him. Would make for a good opportunity to just usurp him and take the thrown so he can train without being disturbed though, appoint the actual soulmancer king as his second in command to run things for him "on a whim, I don't know him but he seems good enough ;)"
"I am Ceythie, Great General of the Ironsoul Berserker Army. From now on, you are under my command."

Likely a translation error, I believe the author has said they write every other chapter in French and the rest in English to get used to it. "Back" seems like an appropriate replacement for "Return"
It goes without saying that if his soul was completely annihilated due to a failed baptism, he would not come back to life as could be the case with his body.

Not quite accurate. The Paths can't predict him, so any action he takes causes a butterfly effect on the predictions of everyone else. The further they are from him, not by distance but association through action, the less of a discrepancy a path on them has
Every second, they received a barrage of notifications from Doomhorn informing them of the failure of one or more of these assassination missions. It was bearable when the dispatched Players managed to return home unscathed or with minor injuries, but several of their elites had perished at the hands of the prey they were supposed to hunt.

He ate the intelligence fairy, remember? the half-leprechaun too, they're chilling in his spirit domain
He's capable of absorbing all forms of radiation, radiating life energies into his surroundings, and now effectively generate whatever Lumyst he wants. What makes you think it wouldn't be the Garden of Eden when he leaves?
"... We go back. All we have to do now is faithfully report to the Soulmancer King everything we have just witnessed. H..e will decide the rest."

Holding his cat and turkey friend by the neck like two lost puppies, Jake reappeared perched atop a tree over twenty kilometers from the devastated area. From his vantage point, he could clearly see, through his cosmic vision, the spatial rift gradually closing, leaving nothing in its wake. Conversely, the blast of the residual explosion that had disintegrated River's Bane continued to spread, rapidly expanding towards the outskirts of Lustris City…

Unfortunately, it is. Aether can take on metaphysical traits, somehow, so they are quite literally luckier because of it. I'd prefer a more grounded magic system, but the author makes it work and it's a solid story
"There is no luck in the Mirror Universe, only survivors. If you survive as long as I have, obviously anything I can do will sound unfair and lucky to the ignorant and envious neophytes. Grade 6 Vitality Aether, you should be more than clear about the difficulties involved in making it, even if it comes from a renowned Aetherist like me."
