《Silver Amelia》[Read this Before you Start]
Advertisement
So it came to my attention that some, despite there being a NOTE on the story description, refuses to think about why the sequence of chapters had ended up like this. And by this, I meant the following before the prologue:
[Observer's Notes], [Celestia's Corner], [(Not a chapter) Questions, Recommendations, or Suggestions], [Unknown 1.01], [Unknown 1.02], and [Unknown 2.01].
These chapters are there so it would be easy to check on some extra info and for the readers to leave behind a comment or suggestion regarding the story. Regarding why it was placed there, it is because I didn't want to break the flow of the chapters. It was intended so that every time a reader clicks on the , they are assured that it is a story chapter and not an informative chapter. This is born from recalling that I myself dislike those chapters and a reader that made me remember the pain of encountering it. Thank you for that.
Next is the Unknown Chapters. Like I stated, it was STALLED, and is tagged as a READ AT YOUR OWN RISK chapter. So please don't complain that you've read it before the PROLOGUE.
Next is,
This novel will be re-written after I finished it and gained more experience in writing.
I don't know if people can't understand this line completely, but even so, I'll explain.
As I had been saying throughout the past, which a few readers probably knew by now, or everyone should have realized by now, I AM AN AMATEUR. So please! just PLEASE, don't expect me to write at a professional, publishing, or editorial level of prose.
English is my second language. My course in college is mostly unrelated, if not completely unrelated, to English. In fact, I hate English from the very start. It is my bane. But here I am writing in English just because I wanted my MC's story to be heard. It just so happens that English is the best tool for me to deliver it to the audience.

Now, This novel will be re-written
Just as it says. Why? Because I myself know how badly I wrote. True, there are TONS of mistakes. There are words that should be replaced. Grammar to be fixed and more. I know that, okay? Fully well. But yes, I do appreciate feedback and corrections, but if you're going to be sarcastic about it, please be reminded that I'll ignore it. After all, what I'm after is something constructive, not some cheap words from a grammar nazi who seemed to hate anyone who makes a mistake.
I take note of feedbacks silently, so just because I didn't comment or reply doesn't mean I've ignored it.
Mistakes remain in a lot of chapters. I believe so, too. Why? Because I can only write or edit, there is no both for my situation.
First, I don't make a living with writing. I myself know that I'm not cut out for writing, so I can't hope or see myself making a profit out of it. In other words, I have a life separate from writing. I work to feed myself and spare some for my parents. Being in a country where the wage is low, despite being a developer, I have to work myself in order to live. Even the event of my laptop breaking down broke a large hole in my wallet.
In reality, I still can't believe I am able to write despite my busy life. Maybe because I'm too committed to trying to finish this that I use whatever time I can scrape in my weekend just to write.
On another note, which is probably another source of mistakes, is that I mostly finish and upload a chapter around midnight or an hour or two after it. Most of the time, if not every time, I do it in a state that I'm barely awake. So it's kinda hard for me to spot obvious errors even after re-reading the chapter two or three times. Sorry about it in advance, and I hope you understand, but I do take my time in trying to make a pass of the chapter a few times before uploading it.

Why not get an editor?
Frankly, I'm not up for it. First, I have no money to pay a person to edit it for me. Two, it will delay the release, which is already slow if you'd ask me. Third, I don't want to get another author to edit my work as a favor. I don't want anyone to edit this fiction out of simply helping. If possible, I want an editor that is interested in the story itself and willing to sacrifice his own time.
All said and done, thank you for reading up to this point. I appreciate that you took your time to read.

Dark Lands: The Exile and the Prince
A short time has passed since the siege on Ruined Home has been lifted and as the survivors of the battered encampment slowly begin to rebuild their new home, Aurelius has returned from a failed troll hunt. Yet despite the battered prince’s failures, he has set into motion a series of events that will forever change his life. Meanwhile, Iskra has found herself at the helm of a far more favorable position and begins to forge a path that will lead her towards the first steps of a long road of revenge. Author’s Note: This is the direct sequel to the first Dark Lands story and as time goes on I will update the synopsis to help bring further detail about the story. For now however, I hope you all enjoy what is about to be written. Eight Years Arc: Eight Years have passed since Aurelius and Iskra have first met one another, and a lot has changed since then. The vast majority of Aurelius’ family has been slaughtered by the hands of none other than his oldest brother, a man that the golden haired prince had spent the past several years to hunt down and kill all in the name of vengeance. Upon his return, the kin-slaying prince has found that some things have changed during his absence. Iskra, his first wife and love of his life, has proclaimed that she no longer cares about the events that have been unfolding in her former homeland for the last several years and states that she is solely focused on raising her children. Yet it is through learning that the High Elves have taken a keen interest in the once magically-absent lands of Ranislava that Aurelius decides that action must be taken and thus he journeys south to learn more about what his distant kin are up to in such a backwater region of the world. Who he will meet and what he will do will turn the tides of fate, but in whose favor is something that only the Gods will know. (The Eight Years arc is something that was designed to be written in a way where people don't have to feel the need to go back to the very beginning of the Dark Lands story in order to know what is going on or who the characters are.)

Speaking of true love, Evan asks Lily Trent to accompany him on the journey. Lily is a childhood acquaintance with whom he's recently reconnected and developed a crush on. Lately Lily's been working as a stripper, a cynical and jaded young woman who may or may not have her own motivations for joining Evan on the trip. Evan hopes the time alone will spark reciprocal affections in Lily, and an improbable come-from-nowhere triumph on national TV will not only free his family from their blue collar burdens, but win him the respect and love he craves-- not just from others, but from himself.
