《What Is It Like To Be Eternal? (Completed)》ForeWord [Edited]

A few things to know about
Eh- so hello guys. This is my first novel. I don’t know how good it is but I hope that it’s to your liking. The start might be a bit crude but I think that I was starting to find my style in the later chapters. The world building is intentionally poorly described in the early chapters, but as you keep reading it, you'll find the story to be more descriptive. About the world about, about the feelings, about reasons, about people, about everything as they are going to have more interactions etc.
The viewpoints aren't going to change unless I state it otherwise in the chapter, but that's going to be marked clearly. I don't want to annoy you with the ever changing point of views, so I decided to write my novel in this way: Alice's, Hiro's, Alice's, Hiro's... I'll change POVs only in each chapter, which makes it easy for you to understand whose pov you are reading from.
At the start, I intend to leave quite a lot of questions to answer in the future so don’t be surprised. It’s to make it more mysterious... If you read you will find out, but just to be clear about some things. Firstly, I’m NEVER going to remove the heroine. I hate how XianXia novels always push aside the good female characters so the reason for POV changing thing isn’t that either. It’s something good. >.<
At first, you might think that the story progresses way too fast but I’m going to be more and more descriptive of the whole universe and they are going to progress slower and stay in each realm longer. The first realm is only 4-5 chapters, while the second one is about thirteen, and it's only going to increase. :D So what I want to tell you, is that this isn't going to be a short story and I'm going to finish it for sure.

I've read many novels here and I've always hated how they are never finished. This one isn't going to be one such novel. You might say that maybe I’ll run out of ideas then leave like the others did but I have so many ideas that it’s not going to be the case. I mean when I started writing this I’ve been writing this for weeks without even stopping or thinking what should I write about. Even if I would run out I’d just think of new ideas.
I still have a shit ton to write about. :D I have many chapters in stock. I'm not going to have a schedule, but I’m writing in every moment I can. If there is anything happening, and I can't post for some reason, then I'm going to post a notice about it or note in the author's note, so you are going to be kept updated.
To be honest I don't care how many of you are going to read this because in my opinion writing is an art in itself which is wonderful for communication. I think that as long as there is even a single person reading it and maybe understanding the essence of what the Author (in this case me) wants to convey through these text blocks, it's all worth it. I hope that I can show some of you a world you might have never seen before. Be it this or fictional.
The last topic is about criticism. I don't care about criticism so you can come at me with REASONS! If you downrate or criticize without pointing out anything or at least writing a solution, then I won't care about you. If you write a constructive criticism, then I'm going to read it, and if it's within my abilities, then I'll try to change it.

I'm reading every comment, it doesn't matter which chapter you do it on because it's shown differently for authors. We can see the newest comments in a straight line, and I'm always checking it out. Now about marks.
To be clear: | “Spoken words.“ | Thought words. | Normal narrative and storytelling. | "Talking by using Mind Powers." |
When you find a mark like this: ~
I use this ~ mark quite often I think... That means when there is a change of tone while speaking. Just as how you change your tone from the start to the end of a word sometimes.
That’s all I’ve wanted to tell you. Now you should proceed and try out if you like my novel. I know how it works. I’ve done it so many times already. I hate the most when I left a story then later by other means it turned out that it was a gem! This may not be like that XD but who knows. Depends on your taste.
P.S.: My favorite color is green so don’t be surprised if you see some things that are green. They say that green is the color of will. Well, I’m quite a willful person. Hehe~
P.S.S.: The cover picture is my possession and is the result of my commission to Shizen on Deviantart.

Necro-Merchant
What up, it is zewen senpai here, with the first translated work I am attempting. It is a translation of a Chinese online novel named "陰商" (Ying Shang, or Dark Merchant). And looking at the context the story and the multi-meaning of the character "陰," I decided to name it the Necro-Merchant instead. Written by 咸魚君 (Xianyujun) or Mr.Salty Fish in English, the story is about a kid that started selling some eerie items with his cousin, because we be like that in China. Either way, enjoy the story and have a gud day.

The carnomancer
Jackson was but a normal american just looking to get by in life. unfortunately for him life had other plans as a terrorist bombing took place in the air port in london where he was getting off at. The resulting explosion killed him instantly, and now he has been reincarnated into the world of Rokna.In this new world of magic, monsters, and conflict join him under his new identity Adimir freelancer the adventurer half-elf as he seeks a way to live out an exciting life of researching new and creative ways of combining magic and science. But with a tyrannical empire beginning to prepare for a bloody war the signs of turmoil begin to loom on the horizon. Adimir will face numerous challenges. Both challenges to those native to this world, and against other people have come from earth. Author's comment: I'll be uprfont with you on the entire war thing that the description hints at. Yes it will eventually happen, and many of the strange and out of place things in the beginning will tie into that. Not that it will be explained until much later in the novel. In fact the first 100 or 200 chapters will be spent on the main character growing stronger as an adventurer before the entire war even begins to start rearing its ugly head. So for those eager for the war to kick off sorry, but there won't be a big explosive war so early. At least not with the empire (although if you read carefully you may be able to pick up signs of how close the war is with what happens in the story). But the wait (I hope) will be worth it as it will be diving into some of the stuff a otherworlder in a significant position of power could do with the right knowledge. With that little warning over with I hope you enjoy this novel of mine. Its my first actual attempt at writing a story for people to read so please keep that in mind. If you have any criticism please tell me. I'd love to read them and will be using them to help me in improving my writing quality as time goes on. Experience is the best teacher after all.
