《Just a Rock》REVIVAL
Advertisement
I have come to a startling realization. When I started writing this I had no direction. There was no planning ahead or set timeline. There were no jokes about the rock secretly being amazing. There was just a cynical and bored narrator. The problem with Just a Rock is that I was too serious. I wanted it to develop into something. When in reality, it was already that something and it developed into something I didn’t want.
“The novelty wore off.” I could not be any more wrong. I wore off. I am the problem. Just a Rock is no longer dropped. Just a Rock isn’t just a story. Well, it is. HOWEVER, I will revive this story and give it the glory it deserves. It’s 10:30pm where I am. I have classes tomorrow. My classes aren’t until the afternoon. That gives me a little more than 3 hours to kick this into overdrive. First, I will find out where my story lost steam and cut it off like a tumor then the rock will continue as unplanned. V3 has hyped me up and I will channel that hype.
Of course, I won’t delete the tumors completely. I'll have them in a Gdoc and put them in a spoiler somewhere once I figure out how to use them.
Yeah, that’s half the damn story. And I apologize to those who dutifully made comments on those chapters. Chapters deleted, now to start writing. Maybe write more than one chapter and try to stock up?
As for the user that wanted me to write a serious story, I have 3 serious stories with outlines set up for them. I just need to hit inspiration to get them written out. However, I struggle with keeping on track when it comes to serious stories.
TL;DR I deleted chapters 15-24 and will be resuming from 14.

Sins of the Fathers (A Dungeon Story)
Extract from the histories of Hogenbach, written by the grand historian and self-proclaimed drunkard Gregor Meinzt. "Ah Hogenbach, a crumbling shithole of a kingdom situated in the arse end of nowhere. A land of rolling hills, cold winters and home to a population of short and bitter people. A terrible land. Yet it is here that the greatest calamity of the modern realm took place. It was here that the writhing dungeon was born. Some call Viktor Grieswald a hero, others curse the name. And yet fewer still know him for what he truly was. His was a sad existence, made to shoulder the burdens of an entire realm. He helped, he harmed and he left a trail of destruction in his wake, he will always be my friend. But know this, whatever your opinion on the man, nay the monster is, one thing is true. The world will never be the same after his presence, we made sure of that." AN: Alright, this is a dark fantasy dungeon story without the use of reincarnated characters or a system. Yes, I tagged it litRPG as it uses game elements, no these do not include a status screen. Read onwards if you dare.

Quantum Worlds (A LitRPG dark fantasy)
Find the missing VIP in an illegal game world. Kill the monsters. Return home for the paycheck. Decorated Marine commander, Damon Williams, never thought his latest mission would take place in a full-immersion world fighting monsters… but when a high-value VIP disappears after being stealthily transported to a banned MMORPG, he's their only hope. Damon must lead a group of rescuers into an unforgiving world infested with terrifying monsters and worse. Pain is real. Death is permanent. He and his crew must adapt quickly, trust each other, and fight to survive. And if all that's not bad enough, they'll also have to race against time to avoid the realm’s disintegration and mutation effects. Quantum Worlds features race and class designations, unique creatures, dungeon crawling, level progression and Easter eggs that reference video games and pop culture. This a dark fantasy, but it also has sprinklings of humor throughout. It is a multi-cast, multi-pov story. In many ways, it is a melding of one of my favorite novels, “The Stand”, with my favourite genre, LitRPG. I don’t espouse to be anywhere near Stephen King, but I would like to think that I have succeeded in many areas here (you’ll be the judge of that). So, this thriller-style story has a lot of build-up and lots of drama. When it hits the 100-page mark, it starts to take off with some intense action and fight scenes (although there are battles long before that). Nothing comes easy for this group of rescuers. And the dangers are very real. This saga is already over 100 chapters with more to come. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your reviews, comments, and feedback. Thanks. Chapters are uploaded every day at noon ET. Please do not repost this work anywhere without my written permission. Quantum Worlds is a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.
