《Galataea Crystallim: Chronicles of the Lonely World》Notes on the Restart, and where to find it.
Advertisement
Hello gentle perverts. It has been asked frequently, "Have you died? Will there ever be more sexy goings on?"
The answer is no, I have not died. I was sick for a while, I became several backlogged with my stories, and some were sort of left to the wayside.
This particular story needed to receive better care and treatment, in my eyes, than I was giving it. So, I decided to re-release it with a massive upgrade in clarity, overall quality, and focus.
To that end, I started a wordpress site [Appearance still pending as I search for a theme]
I honestly intended to use it last year, but it's languished till now. However, for the handful of you who still hope and trust, here's the link.
Episode 1 List
I consider it to be edited to basically publishable quality. A few tweaks here and there are all that is further required before the episodes will be put on Amazon.
However, I intend to put them together into multi-episode books instead of individual sales. That way, people get more for their money, especially since some of you have waited for many months to see this start to happen.
I have a dedicated schedule for this story at the moment. I update every Tuesday and Friday. (The actual time varies, but I intend to keep to those days.)
So far, I have put up four new episode parts. They comprise a complete overhaul of chapter one's content, plus a new scene for the part 1.4. Part 1.5 will be up tomorrow. Chapter parts can be 1500-3000+ words, though most are over 2000. There are new scenes, an entire new part, and much more expansive imagery already.
What I need to know, from the rest of you fine folks.

1. Do you want me to continue the current story arc where it left off, until the arc is finished. (The Mesa III) stuff, or mostly focus on the beautiful overhaul so that can mosey along? (This would be done in chapter parts as well, since I also have several ongoing stories to update.)
2. I also plan to start posting the revamped posts onto this site, but currently I am leaning toward starting a new thread for it much like I did with Nocturne -> Nocturne Version 2.
Honestly, I'd probably wait till [Episode 1] is done first (Another 4-6 parts left) Either way.
I'll probably put up a site for Nocturne, much like this so that the final version can start to be seen online (Also, it would help me when it comes time to actually clean it up and put it out on Amazon.)
If the site update 2.5 had stayed around, I would have put all of the current chapters into a 'rough draft volume' and had a Light Novel version volume for the newer stuff.
I've shopped the new versions around to people (Not many) and people seem to like it uniformly. I flesh out a lot of stuff. For instance, the original Chapter 1 had around 5900 words, and the original prologue was like 290 words.
The current revamp has cleaned that up and now it is nearly doubled in size though part of that is the new scene after Scott and Seventy-Two were forced to part.
A lot will change:
A. Mostly more character development as people instead of just as lovers [Though, the lovers parts will remain and be expanded as well]
B. The way the girl's stats develop will be different.
C. Some of the world-setting concepts will change.

Some of those changes are already shown in the story.
Anyway, let me know if anyone is still interested. :)
Also, for those who want more [I Hate You Master...] Depending on the fan response that I get for this Crystallim overhaul, I think I'll put up a wordpress site for that story too, and reboot that in the same way. Greater clarity, more immersion, more STORY.
Let me know! :)
Currently, I'm considering wordpress sites for all of my stories, so we'll see if that's something anyone cares about.
What I need most of all is input. :) Tell me what you think of the revamped version (It's basically one step from publishable) and leave comments either here or on the site.

Ursus Ex Machina
Ozzy was a man of the wild. Raised in a remote village atop the world's mightiest mountain, he'd been taught to respect and revere the natural world. The realm he was born into had been there long before him, and it would remain there long after him. Sure, there was the occasional madman who threatened to destroy it, but such boasts were always empty. No one individual was actually capable of demolishing this beautiful blue-and-green ball Ozzy called home. No matter what terrible magics these villains wielded, they were incapable of causing permanent harm to the environment. Even if the planet was completely devastated, it would recover. Life would find a way to flourish, same as it always had. That was what Ozzy believed from the bottom of his heart, so he never once felt the need to save the world he loved. After all, it was never truly in danger. The world would be fine no matter what. The people were a wee bit endangered, but that was another story altogether. However, what would happen if Ozzy suddenly found himself devoid of his beloved wilds? What would the man do if the realm he knew - one of wonder, magic, and chaos - was replaced with a man-made environment of concrete, industry, and steam? Ozzy could never imagine such a thing happening, and yet that was his new reality. After losing a fateful confrontation with a mad wizard, he and his friends found themselves transported to a strange world so thoroughly alien that every waking moment feels like a fever dream. Separated and scattered to the four corners of this land, each of these adventurers will need to adapt, survive, and overcome if they hope to reunite. They would also need to do so quickly. The sooner they are able to find one another, the sooner they can figure out a way back home and have another crack at putting an end to the villain's plans. Whether such a thing was actually possible in a world with barely any magic in it was a valid concern, but Ozzy had more immediate things to worry about. For instance, why did the air smell like a perpetual forest fire? How did ships sail through the sky as if it were water? And most importantly, was the pavement he was hurtling towards at high speed much softer than it looked? Probably not, but a man could hope.

Yora Chronicles
[Arc 0 - The Prologue] Airen and Yuelei Casteya - Two twins separated in act of revenge not of their own doing. One is sent to the frozen north, where she is adopted by a frost phoenix and taught to survive in the harshest of conditions, eventually meeting with the forces that govern nature itself. The other is sent to the southern deserts and is saved by a band of slaves-turned-raiders who take him in as one of their own, where he eventually came into contact with a being that calls herself the History Eater. The two sought power and the forces of the world would soon listen, but not without their own aspirations. And perhaps if the two were to meet again, they would be so warped by their own hands and would not even recognize the other. [Arc 1 - Disciple of the History Eater & Knighthood] Under the guidance of Fieluri, the whimsical being from the Archive, Airen moves south to the Red Slate Republic to attend Stonewall Military Academy. There, he finds himself wrapped up in the History Eater's ploys, and at the same time, learns of the somber side of society in the slave-driven republic. Eventually, under Fieluri's instruction, he descends into the depths of dungeons where he eventually reunites with an old acquaintance. Yuelei, who has grown used to living in the snowy mountains, moves north to the Holy Land of Ecclisa to attend the Royal Knight Academy. After Lin leaves, she slowly adapts to living with humans again, but not without ceaseless caution. The thinly-veiled peace is eventually broken, for the monsters that haunted the nights in the Whitefrost Mountains are returning once more. In response, the Holy Land of Ecclisa slowly prepare for war, but Yuelei is not just a mere bystander. All paths eventually leads to conflict. When it arrives, one can choose to deter it away, or to revel in it. [Arc 2 - WIP] NOTE- Based on an internal discussion, please be advised the earlier chapters of this novel [Arc 0 and Arc I] is going through a major revision and rewrite to gap the 6 years experience since the first draft of this novel.

The devil's got my number
Dalton was always a nice place. Always had been. When that new couple moved here, we were all ecstatic. They were wealthy, but not arrogant, always willing to help out their neighbors. All around the perfect kind of migrant. They brought a child with them. Jacob. He was beautiful, just like his parents. He had his mother's beautiful hair, and his father's beautiful eyes. But he was different. He wasn't social, or nice, like his parents. He mainly kept to himself. Until one day he didn't. Strange tales, of the boy running around the neighborhood at night started to pop up. Of sacrificing children and dark rituals. The average person dismissed it as just that, rumors. But those of us that had seen the boy, knew the truth. His eyes were no longer the deep, vibrant color of his father. They were the green of rot, his skin the color of a corpse. The devil had taken the boy, and, like a disease, he was spreading his curse.
