《The Second Coming of Fate [A High Fantasy Story]》UPDATE 01/01/22 : New Year, New Beginnings (ONLY IF YOU CARE TO READ)
Advertisement
It's official. The Second Coming of Fate now has an update section, where I tell you all random shit just for fun.
Well...okay. Not everything is considered "random shit." I do have some things I consider important, but fret not. We will definitely have some "random shit" sprinkled about as well. In fact, the shit I'm saying right now is so shitty it could be considered "random shit." Shit, I should stop saying shit so much. Okay, enough of this shit. Onto the actual topic!
First and foremost, I'm posting this on New Year's Day in my time zone, so Happy New Years everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed watching their clocks tick down to 12:00 am (or 00:00, whatever floats your boat).
There are a few things I want to reflect upon in regards to my two weeks on RoyalRoad, so if you're seriously not interested in this, go ahead and skip to the next section titled "ACTUAL UPDATES."
-----
To put it simply, I'm a newbie writer. The most I've ever written were 2000 word college essays talking about a topic I can give two shits about. However, despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed creative writing. What sparked this passion was my love for reading and storytelling. I often find myself immersed in fantasy and the infinite possibilities that it could produce. One day, sparking my own flare of inspiration, I began to develop my own fantasy.
Over the past year, bits and scraps of ideas took form in my mind as I meshed together a reality that I thought was truly intriguing. At first, I thought that everything I came up with was perfect. But alas, that wasn't the case. There were many instances of writing one chapter; only for it to be dropped thereafter. Countless attempts, day after day, that often ended in failure. I was so sure that I was going to throw in the towel soon. But, to my surprise, near the end of the year, I came up with something that I found to be absolutely amazing. Thus, The Second Coming of Fate was developed.

A few days later, after writing my prologue and first chapter, I found RoyalRoad. As shoddy as it may be (even realizing that now), I wanted to share my story with others. It was very intimidating at first. In fact, I still feel intimidated to this very day. After all, there were countless other stories that looked far more developed and intriguing than mine. But that didn't stop me. I published my prologue and first chapter the minute my fiction got approved.
From there, I continued to write passionately so that I may share it with you all. Writing my second chapter was a big feat, as I had never been able to do so before. This flamed my passion for writing even more.
Most recently, I asked to do review swaps over in the forums to which many others agreed. The feedback I got varied quite a lot. There were a number of positives and a number of negatives. Nonetheless, I appreciate every single one of them and will definitely take all of into account as I write more.
With ALL of that being said (and I know it's quite a lot), I want to take the time to thank all of you who've been reading my work up until now. Your support is truly impeccable and it really boosts my confidence in writing. Getting 270+ views and some followers is more than I could've imagined coming onto this site. For some this might very little, but to me it means a whole lot. So truly, thank you for you support, and I hope you'll all continue to support the series as it goes.

ACTUAL UPDATES
As of now, I am on the last weekend before my university starts instruction again. Although I will make sure that I find time to write as much as I can, I won't be able to update as frequently as I am doing right now (in 3-4 day intervals). Instead, I'm going to start doing weekly posts. As it stands, I have not yet set a day for when I will be doing my weekly posts, but, depending on the days of my next few releases, I will determine it then.

Speaking of the next few releases, I am excited to say that these chapters are going to be some of my favorite to write. That being said, they might take longer to produce than the others, but will not yet follow the weekly schedule that I stated above. This means that each chapter could be released in less than a week, exactly a week, or slightly longer than a week. Fret not, for I will make sure that these chapters are released as soon as possible, up to the best possible standard.
-----
Thus concludes my first ever update! What are your thoughts on it? Is it stupid? Am I stupid? Perhaps both? Give me your answers in the poll down below. If you haven't yet, consider following. I yearn to improve and produce more chapters in the future, so stay up to date on my endeavors. Thank you all once again for reading this and I hope to see you all in the next one. :)

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6
