Interactivity explained!

As noted in the description, this series is slightly interactive. Here is how it’s going to work:

From time to time our MC will be able to get a new skill by opening a loot box. The content of these loot boxes will be decided by you, and I will then roll publicly on discord which skill the MC will get.

Each skill has to have a weight assigned, from 1 to 1000, 1 being the least likely, 1000 most likely. I reserve the right to set those myself, but I will take your suggestions into account.

Each chest has a color assigned to it, which represents a theme.

Example:

I get 4 comments, after asking for red (destruction) chest skills:

"JohnyX - Spark ! A small dmg spell!"

"MobyOrca - Powerful blow! A strong hit"

"FacebokHighschoolFriend - Poke of annyoance! Taunts an enemy and deals dmg!"

"Doom of commenters - anyone who makes grammar mistake in their comment dies according to the keikaku! I suggest rarity of 1"

It means that I will roll a skill from a red chest (destruction) with the following skills, and weights:

There is a red chest (destruction) with the following skills:

Spark (500) Powerful blow (500) Poke of annoyance (1000) Doom of commenters (1)

I then roll the dice. If I roll

234 - MC gets Spark 501 - MC gets powerful blow 1003 - MC gets poke of annoyance 2001 - MC gets Doom of commenters

If not enough suggestions are made I might add some skills myself, and for now feel free to add as many suggestions as you want.

The first chest our MC will be able to access is going to be “Life” and “Protection” themed. Explanation is going to come in the actual story chapters. Vote for this suggestions under this chapter. Discord link will be added tomorrow evening, after I finish setting it up.

So yeah, post suggestions under this chapter! Also add short description of the skill, though, once again, I might adjust it a bit. If there is a longer discussion under one suggestion, I will try to take it into consideration

Schedule:

As seen over the past week, writing a chapter a day is more difficult than expected (life happens), so I’m switching to 3 chapters a week (so a total of ~4000 words a week, or about 10 pages/year, or 550 pages long book a year). I will also try to add some bonus chapters, lore and so on from time to time.

Sheptis age:

I’m considering going back and making Shepti a bit younger, but not sure.. Haven’t talked with kids that age in a while so I don’t know what would be an accurate level of maturity. Not to mention how would living in such a different society affect them.

Other:

I hired an artist to draw a nicer.. And more marketable cover. Hopefully you will like it!

Thank you all for following the story, I’m at about 200 followers/readers in total, if we add up RR and SH together. It is fulfilling when the stuff you write actually has people reading and enjoying it.
