Huh so atleast for minotaurs specifically it ties back to ancient mythology....Thats pretty interesting! Thanks for the info :)

From the scientfic standpoint I do understand that but why would they go for humans when we struggle, use weapons and flee.

If there are humans their are bound to be livestock, cattle and chickens other domesticated animals that will struggle far less then humans overall. so the argument children struggle less falls apart even further, if they wanted easy meals they'd go for the livestock.

In the end it's not issue just something that I found rather bizzare.
You're welcome. :)


Yeah, that's true. But just be aware that livestock such as chickens and pigs aren't anywhere near as common as humans are (and most don't provide as much proteins and calories as humans do). A large monster such as a Minotaur would have to eat an entire farm's worth to be able to satiate their hunger for a time. As for why they still go for humans, who can fight back with weapons and such, I don't really know. I can only chalk it up to their beastly instincts going haywire out of hunger and hunting for the any nearest source of food (in the summary of Tabitha's light novel, that man inhabiting the Minotaur's body was gradually getting taken over by the beast, so beastly instincts/mindset is definitely a factor). But yeah, I'm basically as much in the dark as you are for why large fictional monsters (such as Minotaurs) would prefer to eat humans unless they're desperate enough. Then again, fear could play a role in intimidating certain groups of humans to offer sacrifices to them without needing to actually hunt down humans (these type of people exists after all) if they are intelligent enough for such, so they don't exactly have to blatantly attack randomly villages and risk getting killed off by the humans defending against or hunting them.

But it isn't an issue for you like you've said, so we don't need to dwell much on that topic.

Welp found a beta reader!
Nice! I hope you and the Beta reader don't mind this question (I hope it isn't too personal), but what's the username of that Beta reader?

And are they familiar with FoZ and/or Overlord?
 
Im not sure of their familiarity with the series but he seems mostly interested in things like spelling, grammar and typos. Ill hold off on sharing the username till we've edited a chapter and i get a feel for if it will work out. Sorry I dont mean to be rude but my paranoia demands i hold off and get his permission first...

That's nice to know. At least he can help you with any spelling, typos or grammar errors you have.

And that's perfectly fine. You have to have someone's consent first to reveal information about them after all (for some reason, I thought that you had already gotten his consent, but it looks like I have thought wrong), as as respect for their privacy.
 
I'm surprised that what they have is even considered "natural" OvO

Yeah, since that isn't a major addition, that can just be added straight away with no impact on any of the record of wins/losses.
 
Crap. I'm gonna have to read it when I come back to my abode cause the website's blocked here :/

I'm also getting into writing Death Battles, and I might do one episode on him. Any suggestions for potential rivals?
 
As long as the match-up is more original than "Alex Mercer vs Venom", "Alex Mercer vs Carnage", or even that frequently spoken "Alex Mercer vs Cole Macgrath", it should be fine.
 
I'm trying to avoid stomps as much as I possibly can.

If the winner doesn't stand a chance, I'll scrap the death battle.

And yes, I want another thematically similar character.
 
Thats tough, mercer can beat most thematically similar characters pretty handilly, carnage can take him now from what I heard but its a stomp in the oppsite direction from what I understood as canage now has mass possesion...
 
Yeah, Carnage now stomps Alex, especially since I don't equalize speeds in my Death Battles.

Though, rules for my Death Battle will remove all CIS and PIS, meaning that despite matches like Carnage vs. Alex Mercer will remain stomps, I believe matches like Alex Mercer vs. Lucy won't be anymore (she would DEFINITELY BFR if we remove PIS and CIS). But she's already going up against someone else for my Death Battles. Soooooo, fack.

How about Raiden from Metal Gear?
 
The only win con I heard from him is his sword disrupting molecules the problem is its a sword. And nothing stops alex from gassing and effecting the non metal parts, or simply touching one of those parts...
 
****.

Ok... Ah. I'm gonna have to look through the Death Battle forums: I remember there were many requested matchups for Alex.

I'll check them out. Though, if anything comes to mind, let me know.
 
I remembered how easy it was to find matchups for Mercer back when his Regenerationn was still Low-High and when he still has those biomass-dependent Regenerationn limitation...

Ah, those were the days...
 
we found a magic girl with power null but it only worked up to mid regen and her restrainging technique which was the only way to win wasn't airtight...Literally allowing mercer to gas/drip his way to victory...
 
I think we should just downgrade his regen back down to Low-High again, just for the sake of him not stomping his opponent LMFAO

@Circuno Fortes~!
 
Lol you can try but most of his old matches relied on the regen requireing biomass lol, Did you get a chance to check out the oneshot? Im trying to work on monsterous slice of life :p I feel it's not a ninche that gets enough attention

The link's blocked in my hotel. Need to get back to my home for that.
 
Just recently he stomped Composite Human, Ken Kaneki, Kars, etc.

There are probably more I haven't mentioned since the Mid-High Regenerationn and lack of biomass-dependent healing changes.

That many opponents since Lucy??? Yikes LOL
 
So, Mercer recently stomped someone as haxed as Adam Arclight, whilst the only decent/fair match he has is against Hyde, whose page apparently has inconsistencies or false information regarding to Hyde's character and intelligence section.

The woes of finding a decent match for Alex Mercer...
 
Also death wanted to apolgize for the lack of update on Summoner of death, Im planning to have the new chapter up by friday and return to a once every two weeks update schedule

That's fine, my opinions of you aren't going to be negatively affected just because you weren't able to update a story or anything.

But I'll look forward to my mood getting brightened up a bit on that day. And I imagine your readers will as well.
