《The Obsidian Core》Looking to the Future
Advertisement
I recently took a long break to read and reread a lot of stories and books that I frankly love. It was both for personally enjoyment and for me to find what was done in these stories and published books that I wasn't doing. In the end, I found that it was simply the fact I wasn't giving the writing the effort it deserved. I was half-assing it, and acting like only spending a little time on my writing was enough to make it good, let alone great.
So, I have two choices really. I can either resurrect a dead story (including this one or another that I had/have in the works), cut it to the basics and rebuild it from the ground up, or I can build a story from scratch.
I will be putting a poll at the bottom of this 'chapter', for people to Vote on. If the option starts with Resurrect, then it means a Rebuild story.
Thank you for reading, and thank you so much for all the editing suggestions and participation in polls and literally just everything. Writing this story has been a blast even as half-assed as it was. I really appreciate all the support I've gotten, and even the negative reviews. I will add a small description of each option in the post-chapter note, to help choose what you want to read.
Thank you, and I hope to see you all again in the future, no matter how the poll goes.

Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09
