《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.

The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody
[participant in the 2018 NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody is a LitRPG system story where each person transitions into the system, or SCHEMA as this system is known, innocent and unaware of his former life. Following the tutorial, memories return, but by this point, each person has a better chance of accepting their new world. It also gives them an opportunity to start from scratch, fresh without all the baggage of their former lives dictating their decisions in the early stages of the process. I don’t expect this will necessarily turn into an action-packed heroic tale, my intent is to create a character who wants to have just an ordinary, but reasonably comfortable life. I don’t know myself how well he will succeed, there may be twists and Tom may discover some heroism hidden deep inside. I guess we’ll find out together. This is my first writing attempt. I’ve wanted to write all my life, but I’ve never been able to develop the proper discipline to put in the work. I hope I complete the challenge and work my way past this hump. I am writing this as part of the NaNoWriMo Royal Road Challenge. While I will try to self-edit as I go, the challenge requires close to 2,000 words a day, so parts of the story may be rough, and things like plot lines may not make as much sense as any of us would like. If all goes well, and I complete the challenge, I plan on going back through everything and trying to polish it up. In the meanwhile, thank you for reading and I hope I don’t disappoint.

Rage: Crisis / Consequence / ???
Its been ten years since Seth was given his powers, ten years since his town was driven mad by that very same power, and ten years since its source was shunted into his head. A species of energy beings, a people filled with regret for what their entrance onto this world caused. Regret for the deaths that town perpetuated, the devastation they brought, the blow they served to the once proud heroes of this world. Heroes Seth now hopes to join, hopes to heal and atone to for what transpired. But their wounds run deep, their ire sharp, and their acceptance thin. And to top it all off... Seth's power is run far deeper than he knows, and sees his world in a light all its own. This series is my first foray into authoring, with two parts out of at best four if the readership stands. But part three will still book end nicely otherwise. And I'm not stopping till then. It is action heavy with varied and ramping up fight scenes through out. (Book 1 is heavy / Book 2 a little lighter) It is bloody in places, mildly gory in others, and heavily gory in simulated places. Nothing truly horrifying, I think, but be warned. It has trauma. PTSD is a major part of the story, but I will never trust that I got it completely right, so your mileage may vary on how believable or impactful it is. Lastly it has language. Swearing ebbs and flows as the story progresses and attitudes harden or soften. Sometimes bleeding through into the narration... somehow.
