I want to be the Grand Duke of the Abyss

Chapter 58 About Settings
Seeing that readers are more concerned about these points, I will add more if there are other questions in the future.

Some of them are things that the author hopes everyone can figure out by themselves, and some of them are not explained clearly, so please forgive me.

1. Character issues.I really don’t want to write a cookie-cutter Western fantasy novel...

In the setting of "The Archduke", I wanted to write the demons as higher-level creatures like dragons, elemental elves, etc., instead of just idiots who only know how to kill and get crazy.If you change it to: the higher the energy level, the more you pursue efficiency, and pursue things that are valuable and can bring about qualitative changes. For example, you can do whatever it takes to quickly increase your own strength, instead of having to trample ants to death, unless you are in a bad mood.

There is a statement in Chapter 5 that "Chaos only affects the camp and is reflected in the way and means of pursuing desire and power." It is not mindless and purely promotes bloody violence.Demons must be mentally ill, but not all demons are mentally ill.The author feels that this may be the only way to be worthy of the title of "higher extraordinary bloodline".Of course, this is all the author's own imagination, and I have never seen it real.

In the setting of "The Archduke", the character and behavioral tendencies of the demons are partly affected by their bloodline, and partly also by the souls of creatures from the previous life. All the souls of the demons are absorbed by the Styx from another plane. .Dear readers, inside the body of "Osiris" is the soul of a human race.
2. The issue of soul stone absorption efficiency was not suppressed intentionally.

The setting regarding absorption efficiency is originally to increase along with the advancement of the natal talent.Ordinary advancement will only expand the absorption range of natal talents, but will not improve efficiency.Only when you advance to the first level (step into the extraordinary), advance to the silver level (step into the true **), advance to the gold level (**), or advance to the legendary level (**), the efficiency of your natural talent will increase accordingly.

3. There is no problem of supplementing attributes. When the template is promoted, when will you enjoy higher bonuses.The demon clan does not have a natural boss template, they all evolve from low-level ones step by step.

The natural demon race is level 0, the bloodline is also ordinary, and the probability of being rewarded by the will of the abyss when evolving is even lower.

The rest of the races are as powerful as dragons, and they are only born at the first level. As for the bloodline template, they need to be improved the day after tomorrow. They just rise faster.

4. Regarding the problem of damage calculation, the author himself designed a formula with reference to some simple game mechanisms. The damage is not simply calculated by subtracting attribute values.

Take spells as an example:
Spell damage = Spirit * Spell damage coefficient
Magic resistance = spirit * magic resistance coefficient
Spell damage-free bonus = (magic resistance * damage-free coefficient) / (1 + magic resistance * damage-free coefficient)

Spell damage = spell damage * (1 + skill bonus) * (1 - enemy spell damage-free bonus) * level bonus or level penalty * random number (0.9~1.1)

5. Name.There is indeed a lack of consideration when writing a book for the first time. Jiang Fan is the name of a very good friend of the author in real life. It is not just following the trend. The reason why "The Grand Duke" was started was because of his great encouragement.

But I have already written this much, and I am afraid readers will not be used to it if I change it again.I will try to use my real name "Osiris" as much as possible in the future, and please forgive me.

Finally, thank you again for your support and attention to "The Grand Duke". New things will be added soon, and the author will work hard to code!
