《Warlock's Gate [DROPPED]》Author Note: Dropped
Advertisement
Thank you to everyone that took the time to read the story thus far, especially those of you who supported it as Patrons or took the time to leave a review.
I will no longer be updating Warlock’s Gate on Royal Road. I am transitioning chapters from here to my CoRW WordPress Page and I will continue updating chapters on Patreon until the end of the month.
If I had to give a reason, it's that the story isn’t earning enough to warrant the time that I’ve invested into it. I still plan on writing it, it’s a heck of a story, but it will be a part-time thing purely for pleasure (until I have more free time) and for those who wish to continue to read it via my CoRW Patreon page. https://www.patreon.com/vera_anne_wolf
However, the biggest reason I am no longer uploading Warlock’s Gate on Royal Road is because the audience here has honestly smothered my enjoyment of writing this story. I enjoy every creative aspect of writing Warlock’s Gate right up until I upload it to Royal Road for people to tear apart for free. Hell, the negativity has even leaked over into my other writing project CoRW so, at this point, I’ve had enough.
This is a rough draft, and while I appreciate feedback, I’m not rewriting the entire system because people can’t handle how my percentages or health work. Or that there are “too many character PoVs” which is the second most common complaint after my use of percentages.
I tried something different that I am still intrigued to see if I can make it work. However, Royal Road has proven NOT to be the place for that kind of exploration and experimentation. The constant negativity, nitpicking, and anonymous low rating have been non-stop since I got to the first page of Rising Stars, and I’m just sick of it.

After oversleeping, space and time hopping researcher Liyanne Zhuma, from the Pleiades Star System, rushes to her transport location to return home after a five year stint on the field. At the secluded waterfall pool that perfectly reflects the moon, she has just a few minutes before the sun rises to get home. She is literal steps away, only to be pushed in by a man running from a swarm of bees. Her robe made of lunar fabric is ripped and her transport fob - disguised as a jade pendant - is broken. Without them she can’t get home...but there is another way. She just needs one thing: silk woven by moonlight to replace her ripped robe. Duke Zhang Shenwei of the Zhun Dynasty returns home from war and stumbles upon a woman bathing after accidentally pushing her into a pool while being chased by bees. He is determined to be responsible for her by marrying her despite her protests. He can give her anything, but all the strange woman wants from him are silkworms and a place to grow them. He agrees, but has another reason he wants to marry her: he needs a diversion to keep marriage proposals at bay while he settles his estate.

The story will shift perspectives between the two, as well as other members of the Hive. Follow along on their adventures for; the friends they make, the enemies they slay, and the questions they seek to answer. Thank you for reading, as always. ^.^ Afterword: Hello there everyone, and welcome back those that have already read the first story. If you are new, don't worry too much about the first step of the series. Truly, this second part aims to cover most of what was done there. Those that have read it will know a few secrets and plot points before we see them. Though it shouldn't detract from your reading of this one. Honestly, the first one was a bit rough, but do as you will. I will warn that this will tackle some serious topics and might end up getting rather explicit in terms of what is done or seen by the characters. There is a bit to cover, so I'll explain what I can between chapters without overloading anyone, hopefully. -Cover Art drawn by Cozie [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
