OH COME ON NOW !!! It was going so great ! Now you are just bringing ridiculous and absolutely unnecessary things to the plot author. Now he has a SOUL GUIDING SPELL and shows him WHAT HE IS SUPPOSED TO DO ? That is so lame ! Lith wants to be no hero. He wants to survive and become the greatest of all time for his own sake. He doesn't need to save the world nor does he want to. So, now you are just forcing heroism ? Why would you ruin such a good cynical character and reduce him into THIS !?
This thing About him being a monster Is dumb. hes a cynical and damaged 40 year old in a kids body. Pf course hell be thinking in terms of debts anD getting ahead. Look at business people. also itd be okay if hIs back story was bad enough to warrant a broken soul. It was awful for sure but people with abussive/neglectfull parents are a dime a dozen sadly.. would make more sense if he had a loving family only to see a trusted friend brutally murder and torture his family or something really extreme that broke his soul...
