it would have been been more interesting if he was Ascherit's son, i liked the thought of his son trying to get the title of blade master, its kind of boring that its the other guys kid...

Quote from Polemidis
btw whats up with 18-20 marriageable age in historical fantasy... ppl get marry at that age.. a girl from my school got married at 16-17... not to mention gipsies marry at 14 or so.. and have like 2 kids when they are at that age 😛
True in a middle ages setting 12 to 14 would be surprisingly common age for newly weds. People forget individuals often didn't live past forty in those days. Short lives means reproduction has to start earlier.

Well, the whose son part certainly got resolved... BUUUT you guys sure raised one valid point from >100 chapters ago: just who the hell is Ascheritt/Koinzell? I'd already sorta forgotten that his original persona's roots are just as mysterious as the "half-fairy teenager".
...The old version does kinda look like the members of that hereditary swordmaster family. He occupies their favourite title. Their kid gets his sword. His signature supermove borrows an element from their style. Two generations of them start out detesting him only to develop massive bromances.
Really, Ascheritt, who's your daddy?

A fair point.
We now know that the Lances came from different backgrounds (son of lords, merchants, mercenaries), but The all mighty main character is still an enigma.
