《WTF I'm a Dungeon!? (Dropped)》*Update* I'm definitely NOT NOT NOT going on Hiatus.
Advertisement
Sorry for no chapters this week, got hit by the combined attacks of the Maths, Physics, Biology and Law tests. (Pretty sure I failed at least 2) Not in the mood to write anything for at least another 2 or 3 days, my brain still hurts from the last minute cramming.
Few things to say, I'm deleting DP 1.1 and rewriting it (yes again) and I'm going to actually finish the prologue/opening act (At this point it's not too long to be a prologue) because a commenter pointed out that this 'prologue' is actually a pretty good way for me to hook in readers since I get to demonstrate my ability as a writer (That one good fight scene), do some decent world building, and use an interesting way for which reincarnators ended in this world other than:
A wild truck kun appears! Boom bitch you're dead! Also here's god.
God: Hey bitch your dead.
Generic MC: I am completely fine with this because the author did not have the creativity to create a believable human reaction to realizing your own death!
God: Except your not really dead! I'm reincarnating you because I feel guilty about this one specific dude for dying despite the fact that thousands of you guys die every day and I do not feel guilt over them or try to save them. Not counting the fact that I, God am a higher existence than humans and should by all rights see humans as mere ants beneath my feet. No, I'm just the Deus Ex Machina for making the power fantasy work, why would I need proper character development or believable motives?
Generic MC: Oh wow. I am so shocked by this development. I should make a joke about light novels at this point because even though the author acknowledges that this trope is overused, he doesn't care enough since he has neither the skill to create a great reincarnation story, or the creativity to add in some unique features. No, I just need to make some joke about this seeming like a novel to make this novel seem smarter than it really is!

God: Yes indeed, a 4th wall breaking joke about the novel trope is definitely completely original and not overused. I mean our author is doing it right now!
Generic MC: What?
God: Also, it's dangerous to go alone! So take this cheat! Despite the fact that the gift of a second life should be plenty for you poor plebs, I feel like I should give you some random superpower just to skip all the boring bits about gaining strength through life or death battles, where even the slightest mistake can cause death or chaotic political maneuvering of human factions as you try to establish your own power. Nope, those are way too boring for our target demographic, who can't possibly possess the critical thinking or IQ to comprehend any of what I just said! Let's just hand you a random power and let you go!
God: Or if I'm lucky, your some kind of super genius middle class working man who is somehow completely overworked, despite being an undoubtedly valuable asset to the company, since you possess deep knowledge of literally everything and you are Einsteins reincarnate. If that's the case, then I don't need to do anything at all! Your well explained and well defined high intellect will cause you to science the way out of things and that will be enough to make the audience think that the author is smart and creative, despite literally shoving the same old shit down their mouths with the OP power being replaced with SCIENCE!
Generic MC: Well that's unfortunate! I'm not some kind of super genius with unexplained intelligence or mismatching social status, I better just take the cheat option.
God: Well here you go! Now see ya!
Something like that. To be honest I just rushed the first chapter and got rid of the prologue since people kept unfollowing and I saw it as a sign that I was doing something wrong.

Also, I'm moving away from spontaneous releases (releasing a chapter the moment I finish them) and will instead do scheduled releases. I plan on stockpiling chapters so that I have more time to review and re-edit them, hopefully making it so that I don't need to use the rewrite hammer in the future. And by stockpiling chapters I don't feel like I have to force myself to write chapters especially in busy weeks like this one was. Currently, I'm about 80% done with Prologue Part 3, and there's a very good chance the prologue will turn into a 4 parter. I should stop calling it a prologue, 0.1 Opening Act Part 1 sounds better and makes more sense given that it's now expected to be 10 thousand words and 4 chapters long.
Since my holidays are starting I'm gonna try to finish at least 2 or 3 chapters next week to start the stockpile, and hopefully maintain it. I will try to release Prologue Part 4 with Part 3 and get the damn prologue over with, but no promises.
Also, vote on when you prefer your updates but if its something early like Monday or Tuesday then don't expect me to be on time next week. My brain is still too fried for me to write anything more than an overused joke.
And that was the update from your author, Leader of the Cliffhanger Sect, High Wizard of the FFF Inquisition, Dabbing Penguin and Devout Believer of the Church of Ayer, Sir Nil!

Midthalion Saga
+++Working on new chapters. Share what I've posted with your friends and family! Be sure to build strong bonds with those who are important to you. We only have each other in this world for so long!+++ Can Roderick XXIII gather together and train a party of adventurers to clear out Madeon Caves and bring peace to the wildmarches of Midthalion? Sent from his home monastery in the west to the wildmarches of Midthalion, Roderick the Holy Avenger is devoted to living out his oath to bring the Holy Light to the dark corners of the world. He enlists the help of an old friend, Ulrich Vogelbrandt the dwarf druid, to train and prepare a fighting force capable of defending the west from the evil they both see gathering and growing in the east. Eoroth is an ode to Tolkienesque epic fantasy, Robert E Howard and H.P. Lovecraft's pulp fiction, and Gygaxian Dungeons & Dragons. I like to write about serious topics because I think it's fun. I hope it makes for a fun read. Place: Eoroth, a vast, flat world with many continents set in oceans that reach out and mingle with the Celestial Sea. Our story takes place on the continent of Thalion in the middle, unsettled region called Midthalion. Peoples: Races in Eoroth aren't different species; the species of man is just incredibly diverse, consisting of many known races (and perhaps some unknown). There are no humans in Thalion. Thalion's races include variations of elves, dwarves, halflings (billowits), pierros (clownish men), bergeracs (long-nosed and swarthy men of honour), orcs, trolls, goblins, and hobgobs. The Church: There's one dominant religion in Westhalion. The faith of the elves is an analogue to Roman Catholicism while the dwarves practice an Eastern Orthodox analogue. (Forgive me for not having figured out names yet.) The practitioners worship a triune god (the All-Father, Son-of-All, and Holy Light). There are many powers in heaven, all created by God. These include the Twelve High Thrones, individual, created beings who take on the role of guiding mankind in different aspects, drawing them closer and closer to God. (That should be the essentials. I could write pages on the theology. Comment where something's unclear in the story.) Natural World: There are plants and animals in Eoroth, but the world is also inhabited by spirits called aeons. Aeons are transformative beings; in the wild, they'll change based on whatever is happening nearby. Pollute a pond? Expect to see toxic toad-men running around. Leave a bunch of dead bodies strewn across a battlefield? Expect the place to become haunted with ghouls and ghasts. Druids are important for making sure that the aeons are pacified; that their needs are met so that they don't become rampaging monsters. Where the wilderness becomes overgrown, so too do the aeons. Aeons and People: Long ago, men learned how to trap aeons in stone tablets and use them for war. Now, anyone can capture an aeon into a special staff made by a druid. Men train, raise, and bond with these aeons. Druids often build entire ranches devoted to raising healthy aeons as allies and companions. Aeons are divided into twelve known families, and the church sees these as corresponding with the Twelve Thrones in Heaven. Direction: My goal is to get the story to one million words by June next year. I have tons of content in mind for the world. I want to release novels set in different ages of the world depicting different historical events. I hope to expand the setting into a tabletop role-playing game as well as a series of old-school JRPGs. But, it all begins with writing some stories and publishing my novels.

The Gift Of Judgement
Tal was spending the last moments of his life the best he could - turning to the game-world of Valeria to escape reality. What he didn't know, was that he was actively participating in a recruitment program. Ultimately, Tal was given a choice. One that would see his whole life turned upside down. Enter the ancient world of Valeria. A world of gods, demons, and myriad other magical creatures. A world scorched by the ever-hungry, and slowly expanding Shroud. A world where the magic ‘System’ is flailing wildly, summoning individuals from all over the multiverse in a desperate bid to preserve the worlds under its contention. Marked as a 'Contender' and teleported to the very real world of Valeria, Tal finds himself alone and trapped in a mysterious Tower. There, he learns just how much of a boon The Tower truly is. If only he can survive long enough to find a way out of its halls. Authors Note: Patreon: Not currently avaiable Discord: https://discord.gg/dCJ94YRtEK
