Hello Everyone.
This post is intended to be a general discussion and annoucement post, where I write important information about the story's devellopements and changes. I will also answer questions if you have some (as long as they are not too spoilery for the story, or innapropriate).
Chapters average word count : Around 4000 to 5000 words.
Story status : ONGOING [Kind of on hold] (No hiatus planned - Real life and work are in the way - Expect delays).
Author's Comment(s) : Well I'm kind of drowning in work right now so you know... Real life and all. Definitly not dead though. I can promise. Really! I swear!
Chapter 15 - 100% ; Posted.
Bonus Chapter - 100% ; Posted.
Chapter 16 - 20% ; In Progress.
Posting timetable & schedule :
At the start of my story, I did try to keep a regular schedule about when I would post chapters. This did not work out well and ended up putting pressure on me, resulting in stressful situations when I had periods of "writter's block". It also made me pump out chapters that should have been kept being worked on. As such, I will only post my chapters when I am satisfied with them, and not because of time constraints. As a rule of thumb, and if no special annoucements have been made, expect a maximum of 1 month [Unknown] between each chapters. I am aware that, for the moment, I have been working faster than this, but I prefer to set the bar low, so that my readers are not disapointed if real life issues (which I put priority on) force me to stop writting for a while.
Proof-reading and Editing :
All the proof-reading, editing, spell-checks and grammar checks are done by me and me only. Even if English is not my native language, I am a bit "OCD" on errors. As such, if you spot a mistake, do not hesitate to point it out to me in the comments of the chapter concerned. After all, I am only human, and I do happen to miss some at nearly every chapter, even after having re-read it at least 9 times before posting.

Special Announcements :
Rewrite done. See "Rewrite" section below. Bonus Chapters will be done every 5 chapters, under the form of database entries in XSS-MK1's mind. They will contain acccessory, but sometimes important, information about the world around her and its lore (based on what she encounters). The goal is to provide an interesting format to what would normally be an unceremonious info-dump that would break the flow of the main story and make it unreadable. Added poll to this thread in order to improve it.
Rewrite :
As some of the old readers may know, I rewrotte this story from the ground up when it was 9 chapters in, because I had gone about it wrong, without any ground work beforehand, which resulted in a MESS (let's call it what it was).
Story-wise, these 9 old chapters correspond to the now first 10 chapters of the story. These old chapters are not accessible, unfortunatly, and I haven't found a way to do so, while still keeping them out of the table of content. So... sorry. I will see if I can put them right there below in spoiler tags when I have some time. But not for the moment, as the spoiler tags are finecky, and not really easy to use at this time.

Recruit - An Infinite Labyrinth prequel
A prequel to The Infinite Labyrinth. The year is 1816. The British Empire is in full swing, under the auspices of King George III. The Infinite Labyrinth has been pouring out its product from beyond our reality and fostered a new industrial revolution. Times are changing, and the people of London are feeling the winds of the revolution while British Professionals push into the Labyrinth. The newly formed Artefact Hunting Company is looking for recruits, and they have new technology to help them. From the slums of London, they aim to recruit a new wave of Professionals. And make Zacharias and the Earl of Carnavon lots of money. So, for Rowan Rivers and a handful of lucky ones, it's time to head into the Labyrinth, and discover what makes it different from England. And what makes THEM different? Recruit is a bunch of chapters I wrote to create to the setting, mood, and game systems of the Infinite Labyrinth. It is NOT a complete story in the classic sense. It's more of a slice of life view of early days of a normal Professional from the Infinite Labyrinth, and it's heavy on info-dump. It's 90% canon - there's probably a bit of a difference between how some characters and common behaviour are portrayed here and how they'll come out in the main story. Set two years before the events that kick-start the main series, it features some of the secondary/peripheral characters of the Infinite Labyrinth and will tell you all about the basic mechanics of the Labyrinth's RPG system. It can be considered a spoiler, as the characters in the Infinite Labyrinth are going to need to figure out all that, on their own. But if you like a much deeper exposition in the mechanics, here it is. The entire prequel is about 80 pages long.

Diamonds of Tesmaro
Diamonds of Tesmaro is an epic novel about a young Kuro man, Comotos Wellshur, who has ten years of Bounty Hunting training under his belt. He wakes from a frightmare of his past. He experiences the dream every year the night before his birthday but this year is different. That morning he meets a beautiful barmaid, Drusilla, and saves her from a wanted criminal with the highest known bounty on his head, dead or alive! He beheads the criminal, almost losing his life in the process, but the girl he saves is special. She reveals to him a hidden weapon that he carries with him at all times and he uses it to defeat the criminal, it even talks to him! They eventually fall for each other. They travel together, get to know each other, and help each other. Comotos takes Drusilla with him to meet his mentor, Mark and they end up fighting a gang of hoodlums that are literally hanging out at the Bounty Hunter Organization. Mark gives Comotos the bounty money for the criminal after he pickpockets all of the thugs they knocked out. The trio travel to the Ashlar Kingdom to tell the King and his advisor about the completed bounty and all three are rewarded with a free meal and boarding for the night, they meet the King's sorcerer and they are treated to a magic show but something doesn't smell right. After dinner Comotos talks a walk outside and finds the magician talking to someone about them on its wand, he confronts it and learns that someone across the ocean wants to meet him for a special mission. The next morning Comotos and Drusilla and the magician go into the marketplace and shop. Afterward, they take a walk to the docks where Comotos gets robbed! He chases down the culprit only to find out it is a hybrid woman, he helps her up but she spits in his eyes and calls for the guards. He is taken to jail, not before tossing his bag of money to Drusilla, telling her to keep it safe. Drusilla, unfortunately, loses the bag of money to the woman, as she is a more skilling fighter. Both the magician and Drusilla are knocked out and they wake up in darkness, tied to a thick piece of wood. The light shines in on them and the woman approaches, saying that she is sorry if she hurt them, she only wanted the money. Drusilla spittles in the woman's face and she becomes very angry and punches her in the face, which instead of hurting her, breaks her hand. The captain of the ship there comes into the room and tells the woman to get her hand looked after. He tells Drusilla that is his wife and he has to tell her often not to steal from people on the beach. They eventually go to bail Comotos out of jail, not before he meets Lance, another prisoner. He is there because he practically destroyed the very place he was meant to protect. A fellow soldier broke his glasses right after he was knighted and Lance lost his temper and ended up in jail. Comotos' weapon tells him that this guy could be an asset to him and he bails him out when Drusilla finally shows up. There is so much more that happens but I don't want to spoil anything. :3
