《Dungeon Code》Not a chapter
Advertisement
Hi Peoples whom it concerns:
I hate these 'not a chapter' chapters as much as you guys, but here's the spiel.
TLDR: I'm rebooting this.
Long Version:
Real life has been rather ... unhappy for me and my family in general recently. One of the many reasons is that my brother isn't getting married anymore - the bride / bride's meddlesome family called the wedding off, and the day they were going to be married is today. Real life issues and absences aside, there are other technical reasons for this story to need a reboot.
I am still out here. I am still considering myself to be in the process of writing this 'book' for want of a better word, but I will have to re-do this one from scratch, as there are a few basic things in the story which need to be changed.
Originally, I planned to have everything in this story, as that was my idea of a good story - magic, technology, and supernatural all in one place. Then I discovered that is not what makes a good story. I also discovered I'm not comfortable writing about supernatural things - it brings me too close to the bad other side, and I am not prepared to do that. It is dangerous and illogical to place myself in unnecessary risk, even if I have the protection of the Big Man Above. To be honest, the whole supernatural / magic affair is not something to be taken lightly either when writing or reading.
I am a logical person as much as any evolutionist scientist out there. The law of cause and effect holds true no matter where you go or what you do (so does the law of entropy - which is why I am not an evolutionist). Where most 'scientists' fall flat on their face: they refuse to recognise the spiritual world as being a possibility. In doing so, they cripple themselves.

I have learned quite a few lessons about what to do when writing a book from this hessian undies first attempt. I hope to take those lessons, and not repeat the same mistakes.
So while I envisaged where this 'book' will go when I started, it will not continue down the path it has taken.
As such; I will leave the chapters here on RRL, and give others freedom to contact me to take this story up with the ideas I have put down. I will make a second attempt to put a pen to paper (fingers to keyboard). It just won't be the continuation of this universe as it stands. The attempt will retain the same basic premise - a dungeon core which needs coding / 'bug fixes' to operate. The back story will change completely - no more re-incarnation. No magic. No supernatural dealings - except plot armour. Technology is staying.
So, I ask your patience and understanding while I redux / reboot / re-write / re-do / etc this 'book', and I would welcome you all back in the next attempt to come along for the ride. I will edit this post with a link to the reboot when I have anything meaningful to put up; which I hope will be soon.
Yours faithfully,
DraconisViridis
P.S. You will probably be able to find me on the RRL Discord server from time to time - just check the usernames of the various dragons that appear...

The War of our Stars (SWTOR Fan fiction)
YAH, PICTURE! Also, I used "The Old Republic", as I couldn't fit in "Star Wars"....... Yes, the title does mean something. I guess this is a SWTOR Alternate Universe Fanfiction? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I used glowtxt, Microsoft word, and paint to make that. I DO NOT OWN THE PICTURE, I got it when I searched up "copyright free". Also, I just used glowtxt, but if whoever made glowtxt wants me to stop, I'll get rid of it. Whilst this is a fanfiction of SWTOR, the setting is VERY different, you will not see any SWTOR characters within this Novel, there will be places both made up and already existing in SWTOR. Take for example, whilst the Dark Council still exists, it will have completely different members. Also, there are minor changes to the history before and during the Old Republic, but there is little overall change, with the main character starting out at a similar time to a starting character. Star Wars the Old Republic Fanfiction. You'll understand the title, not in the first chapter, but as Frederick goes to outer space. Before the Rule of Two, there were multitudes of Sith and Jedi. Numbering thousands of both Sith and Jedi, a great war between the Empire and Republic has existed since time immemorial. From our World, a young boy named Frederick is born into the Galaxy of Star Wars, born into an Imperial Family, he lives up to the expectations of becoming a powerful Sith. But all he wants to do is to survive.... But by surviving, he does more so than simply surviving. Many have made star wars fanfictions, and this one will probably...... (I have read, watched and played Star Wars, so here you go) NOTES: Action and Adventure are a bit light for the first few Planetary Arcs. I'm terrible at comedy and romance will come will really late. Absolutely terrible until Corellia.

Dhanurana
Out of an unnaturally quiet night, a bedraggled woman in noble finery requests access to the southern capital. Who she is has been lost to time for most, but her continued existence will throw everything further out of balance. Janurana had barely survived her royal house's destruction at the hands of foreign invaders, surviving day by day in the scattered pocket forests and arid shrub lands, constantly escaping the ghosts of her past. The south has barely survived their recent Pyrrhic victory against the north immediately followed by a coup. The north is bloodied but unbowed, on the brink of civil war, but still ready to take up arms against the southern invaders. The leaders of the south cannot afford another obstacle. And Janurana is just that. Yet her chance meeting with a woman expelled from the warrior class named Dhanur gives them both a chance to avenge the ones they loved, finish what they failed to do, and return to a normal life. *** Set in a fantasized bronze age India featuring LGBT female leads. Told in an omniscient pov with glances into multiple characters. This is my first book even if I've been working on it for a while but I hope you can all still find some enjoyment and take a break from everything happening in the world. Remember to work on your dreams. :)
