《The Oddity: The One Who Does Not Belong》New Series is Up! Reborn in Another World as a (Colorless) Demon Prince
Advertisement
Well, I've been gone for almost a year now. I wish I could say I was writing all that time but I wasn't. I was mostly just doing everyday things but even then I managed to complie a good number of chapters. Getting back into the swing of things was a bit hard but I did it.
So, if you haven't seen it yet, I just released a new series! The upload schedule will probably be one a week but for about the next five or so days, I'll be dropping 2-3 chapters.

If there are any questions feel free to comment and I'll reply if I can answer.
As for why I don't just stop there, well, I need to hit the 500 word count to post this. On the status of this series, I've been floating around some ideas of how I would rewrite it. I'm not the kind of person to get rid of everything and start from scratch. I like to believe that I knew what I was doing but that's not really true.
There's no doubt that the start of this series was a bit rough and even the middle and later parts as well. I will probably change just about every scene using maybe only the skeleton of what's already there. So the good news is that for anyone who read a lot of it already, you'll be seeing similar or the same events but they'll be told differently and with more context surrounding the world and the characters.
Just taking time off not thinking about the series has helped me develop a lot more ideas and ways I could make everything more coherent. Another good thing is that the rewrite of the series will be faster too. This doesn't mean I will rush through events but that I'll plan things better so that it doesn't feel slow.

Reading through the old reviews was a lot of fun even though I've read all of them before. It really gave me the motivation to work on my new series and think up more things I could do with this one.
If anyone is still reading this far then thanks, you're awesome! I'm just kind of out of things to say now.
Uh, even though I said I want to make the story pace feel better, the new one might be a little slow at some parts. Chapters 4-6 especially I think. If that's not the case, let me know when they're out or when you've read them.
And in case someone's reading the new series and thinks that Kieran has little to no driving goal, well, don't worry he's made to be like that. Things will change I promise. Act 1 is probably going to be anywhere from 40-60 chapters long, though that doesn't mean there won't be exciting events. I wrote one that had me too high on emotions to sleep not too long ago.
I can't wait to get to Act 2 because that's when things really start opening up. Thanks for reading. I've hit the 500+ mark.

Restart (Reborn as a Reluctant Demon Lord, Book 2)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is book 2 of the series! If you haven't read book 1 (which you can find here https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/34776/new-game-reborn-as-a-reluctant-demon-lord-book) then you should probably do that first to avoid spoiling yourself in the synopsis. But that's just a suggestion. If you want to be confused, go ahead. Have I used enough space so that you can't see this in the preview yet? Okay, good. ----- For a [Demon Lord], not even death is the end. So, after death, I found myself revived once again in the world of Placeholder as a grotesque monstrosity. That was my first reincarnation, but it would not be anywhere near my last. Disillusioned with the admins and their quests, and wanting nothing more than to fix the mistakes of my past, I set out with a new goal in mind. To bring back the woman I loved. Or maybe... to ensure that she never died in the first place.
8 173On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
