Chapter 58: Magnius

Varkas mutters under his breath, clearly uncomfortable. He rarely speaks about other subordinates unless they're exceptional, and in Alix's ranks, only those above level 700 earn his acknowledgment. Magnius is one of them.

A level 800 plus necromancer, Magnius is known for his relentless experimentation. It doesn't matter if it's a human, a unique monster, or any being with intelligence—if they interest him, he studies them. His methods are… unconventional. Some would call them horrific. But to Alix, Magnius is one of his most valuable assets.

It was normal for NPCs in games to have their own thoughts, to interact with players as if they were real. But Magnius took that concept further—his inventions played a critical role in Alix's victories against other players. Though, admittedly, some of those creations were rather twisted.
