《Acheron》Afterward
Advertisement
Thank you for reading Acheron. I hope you enjoyed it. I originally meant it to be novel length, but it turned out a little shorter than expected. I believe this was my third writing project, if memory serves me right.
Technically this is a space opera sci-fi story, but in the edit I added a few lines about magic and mages, to make it a low fantasy instead, since that’s what I’m interested in writing. The tone of this is a lot different from most my other pieces—mainly in the level of profanity that I used. I was going more for a sort of rough and tough, rated R type setting. I don’t know how well I hit that mark, though.
If you would like to read anything else by me, I have several completed projects here on Royal Road. Wakiagaru is a full 436 pages. And if you think Acheron moves fast, wait until you read that! It’s a much heavier fantasy setting with a lot of Japanese themes.
Also, I’ve just uploaded the prologue to Blackwood Company. It’s a grimdark sword and sorcery novel with both low fantasy and high fantasy elements. If you’re interested, check it out and give it a follow. I’ll be releasing chapters on that every day until its completion. It’s about 25% longer than this story.
Thanks for reading.
