《Kingdom of the Dead》Intro - Letter of the King

“Hi there, whoever is reading this.
My name is Daniel Karstein. Of course you have heard of me, awesome and handsome as I am.
My skill in many crafts and my immense talent is second only to my humility, so naturally you have heard of me? No? What a shame.
All joking aside though, I want to tell you my story.
I grew up in a small city in west Germany called Alpen. It is a small “city” if you want to even call it that. I personally would not.
Throw together a few houses and a couple thousand people that are mostly traditional german farmers and people that are very set in their ways. Conservative setup similar to most small towns in the countryside.
Not that this matters much to me. I am a weeb, a shut-in, a no lifer. My mother, god bless this woman, always supported me though. I was allowed to follow my dreams of online streaming and gaming.
Even when I turned out to suck at both, she still pushed me to not give up. A few years ago, at my nineteenth birthday, she died of a brain anorism.
Days later I found out the simple reason why she pushed me to fulfill my own dreams. Our family was loaded. Even though we had lived rather simply all our lives, my inheritance amounted to a solid 424 thousand Euros.
Even since then I can no longer be called a “real” shut in, I am visiting her grave every Sunday after all.
Today, 10th of May, 2020, I turned 26. My weight is 132 kg, I am 179cm tall. 5 foot 11’ in retarded measurements, or about 9 average bananas. Might as well use that as measurements, seems equally meme like.
No idea how kilos are measured in imperial units, but I’m deviating.

Again, all joking aside: I am currently in the middle of a real Zombie Apocalypse and it isn’t looking pretty.
Aside from barely surviving I currently am in the process of founding my very own kingdom, with blackjack and hookers! Although, currently... we are kinda short on both… Hmm.
Anyway. I am off now, to visit my mother’s grave. Its Sunday. I’m a little scared, but armed with my wooden katana, I’m hoping for the best.
If you are reading this though… I will most likely already be dead.”

Hence, I wellcome any comments with the intent of helping me getting better (within reasons of course).

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw
