Facts about Lone (The Author)
So I just felt like doing something like this to spice the post up a bit. Feel free to ignore this if you aren't particularly interested in me. None of the facts are too juicy (I hope).
1. I wrote the first ever 50 chapters of this story on my old xbox one. I didn't have the money to buy a desktop or laptop, so I used an xbox controller to kickstart this little hobby of mine. I later had to sell that xbox for rent money, but thankfully my brother had gifted me a pc (the one I still use today), so the chapters kept coming.
2. I'm only 22 and have been living alone for 6 years (16 is the age that one is considered an adult in Scotland). So I have very limited life experience, which is probably why my characters sucked so much at first. Characters are still a weak point of mine, but I've definitely improved a ton since I started writing 2 years ago.
3. I actually have the most achievements on this website, and in my quest to have them all shown on each chapter, I accidentally informed Kanadaj of a visual error resulting in him limiting the viewable achievements to 15. To see all of a person's achievements, you have to view their profile now.
4. I'm technically a member of the RoyalRoad staff, but not really. I'm sort of a volunteer and I've helped with a lot of stuff (as evidenced by my achievements), but nowadays I just point out bugs to Kanadaj in the mod-chat in the RoyalRoad discord server.
5. Speaking of RR mods, I've gone to a meet-up IRL with the two site owners, Kanadaj and Wing, as well as four other mods; Oinos, Neca, Tomolone and Dawn. We all went to Italy and Oinos was kind enough to host us for a week (Except Wing who rented an apartment nearby due to her religious beliefs and not wanting to sleep in the same house as 5 guys that she had only just met IRL. Very understandable).

6. For anyone that reads Shovels In Spades - my far more popular novel - I got the idea for that novel when I still worked at the local skip site (basically a place people go to dump their garbage). I found a really good condition stainless steel shovel and thought it'd be cool to write about a guy fighting with a shovel. I still own this shovel, by the way. It's sitting against a wall next to my pc desk.
I think that's everything I'll share for now. I share everything about myself with those that ask, but this is a light-hearted post to admire the fluffball Garadia, so no point diving deeply into who I am as a person right now.

Tales of the Old World Demon Lord
1984 had indeed come, however it was 100 years late. In 2084 a man named [Sovereign] had taken control of the entire globe and the destiny of Humanity itself was in his hands. Many called him evil, perhaps he was, but Sovereign believed that he was cultivating the future of humanity; he knew that if Humanity continued on its current trajectory it would not last. However his plans came to an abrupt end when he was tragically murdered by his closest confidante. For a time after that the world finally found peace as their evil overlord had been overthrown but as Sovereign had predicted the world indeed came to an end. Humanity had returned to its old ways, they reconstructed borders, created separations known as 'countries' and in the end without unification and a single future, war had once again engulfed the world. Slowly as it choked on its own ineptitude the humans killed themselves off as their resources depleted and the planet was made uninhabitable. However this was not the end of the story for Sovereign, but a new beginning. Born again in a world of swords and sorcery he quietly evaluates the mettle of these new humans. Should they not come to meet his standards then 'Sovereign' would also be reborn. "To the primitive fools who believe magic reigns supreme, allow me to demonstrate the might of the old world technology."Arc 1: Kenesis Enhancement Project/SovereignArc 2: Human Immortalization Project/Nemesis Arc 3: The Skyfall Project/Gungnir

Limits
Have you ever considered, what is a Limit? Well, I have. I’ve seen people who were as strong, as wild animals. Those that were faster than the wind. Some that shined with intellect. Yet, what are the Limits of mankind’s strength, or intelligence? No one seems to know. We develop more and more, seemingly without an end. What if, someone was the smartest in the world? Would that suggest the Limit? What if, someone was the strongest in the world? Would that be the Limit? Would that make that someone, more than a Human? These are just questions, but what if I saw people reach their Limits? What if I know what happens, when you break the Limits? What if I were to tell you about it, would you believe me? (This novel is no longer published on royal road. If you wish to read more than 1st volume, head to webnovel. That is all)

Coalescence of Two Lifetimes
Cilen was you typical, run-of-the-mill kinda guy. Well, until his parents passed away when he was 17 forcing him to learn to grow up. Fast. He figured it wouldn't be that bad. He had a house, he had an inheritance, he had friends that kept him company. And at first, it really wasn't anything But sometimes, the loneliness just gets to you. Sometimes, the expectation to not disappoint just gets to you. Sometimes, life just gets to you. And it brought Cilen to his knees, lamenting, cursing, questioning, "why?" "Why did his parents pass away as they did, forcing him to fend for his own?" "Why wasn't he born in a rich household, with a silver spoon in his mouth that catered to his every need?" "Why was every step forwards so difficult, in this accursed society?" He wished that everything would be easy, like inside the worlds of the wuxia novels that he had grown up reading. Special constitution, lucky breaks, fast powerup, get all the chicks and defeat the big evil guy. Simple, easy, satisfying. But life ain't cut out to be that way. The main actors were already set, and there was no changing them. Unless, you moved to a different stage... But this ain't one of your friendly neighborhood transmigrations. It rewards those that are patient, creative and willing to adapt. But perhaps Cilen is able to make use of this opportunity and become something more. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ This story is a personal love letter to all the pieces of fiction that I have read. Its a culmination of the things that made me laugh, cry and smile when I first read them and It has been a personal wish to craft a story that makes me feel the way I did when reading those stories for the first time. Its gonna be a slow ride but worth it. Promise. Photo by Johannes Plenio on Unsplash
