This is painful to write.
When I first started this story I was working on a whim, I was bored and wanted to MAKE something rather than just consume others content.
The first few chapters of this were really bad, quoting from one of the most constructive comments I received from TACHYON : "To be frank, this first chapter is a very bad way to start a story." (he then went on to explain his thought process and was EXTREMELY helpful in pointing out places where I could improve in both this story and in general)
However, the first few chapters were also a blast to write, I was having a ton of fun creating jake and the world around him.
at the same time though, my inexperience was also creating chains that would bind the rest of the story. I was basing geography off real-world locations (i literally had to print out a map of Washington state), stats essentially served no purpose, magic (while offering some fun creative development) was a silver bullet type action with no real way to expand it without breaking immersion.
On the other hand I have been mulling over a completely separate idea for years now, I have basic notes for it, the world is based off a trope (VRMMO) so I have a world structure already set. Something much easier for a beginner to develop. and to top it all off it's based around my favorite sub-genre (crafting).
so it really came down to the question, why am I writing this. and my answer was I don't know.
so, for now, I'm gonna let this rest. it will go on hiatus, and with luck in the future ill rewrite it into something more expandable.
and ill start a new story that I've had planned for years.
I'm sorry if anyone was really enjoying the story. I want to say sorry specifically to people who rated and commented, TACHYON in particular, as well as my one discord server member scottf89, tbh I probably would have done this earlier if I hadn't been talking to him over there.
thanks for reading :)
TLDR: I'm dropping this story for now and starting another one that I actually planned out a little. I might restart this at some point.

Dark Lord Saga (Original)
A land large enough to be called its own world, the Endless Continent, encompasses all of the known human race, a population of nearly fifteen billion people. Here, where large beasts roam, adventurers strive to conquer the 138 Dungeon Worlds, and be known throughout the lands as a Hero. Grey, a young boy of only five years, dreams of being a hero, but fate has other plans...
8 134It's not a game
Where am I? This is not my room. What is this place. If you were transported to another world, to be an RPG protagonist. Just another average weak human being, with nothing but ten copper coins and a crappy sword. Could you defeat demons, monsters and giants? I think not. In a world inhabited by all manner of unspeakable evil, by devils of both monster and man. Could you right wrongs and fix a broken world? I think not. When both your fellow man, demons and the very divines that hold reality together conspire to corrupt, extort and rape this world. When they toy with you and laugh in amusement as you dance in their palms. Could you alter fate? I think not. So when this is the thorny path ahead of our protagonists, why would you expect them to be able to? They’re just human after all, teenagers at that. Nevertheless, join me on an epic journey that will alter the course of history and reality itself as our protagonists show you what it really means to be human... in an inhuman world.
8 180In Search of a Protagonist
(Book 1 completed. On indeterminate hiatus) An unidentified entity in a new magic world, needs to observe people's daily life to judge and find someone that is worthy of being a protagonist of its own story. Beginning to observe from birth an individual of the race called Efalem, composed of only elf-like-beautiful-women, we will follow this being until its death, which may be premature since the society is a war driven one with high mortality rates even from birth. Chapter 40.5 is a recap (from chapter 1 to 40)
8 207Friday Night Food Heist
The Friday Night Food Heist is fraught with danger, but some boys will do anything for free pizza. Ross Cameron is sick and tired of boring Friday nights. Of course, with friends like Mac, there's always the chance of a more exciting development. On this occasion, it's the chance of free food at the expense of someone nobody likes. The only problem - Mac's plan requires military precision to pull off and could leave the boys facing the wrath of the most dangerous man in the neighbourhood.
8 73Enigmatic: Sapphire City Supers
**A Wattpad Featured Story** Kenna Jones isn't a Superhero, and she wants to keep it that way. Though her brother, Sebastien, is a star member of the Sapphire City Super team, Kenna keeps her Super abilities to herself and far away from a celebrity lifestyle she finds selfish and disillusioning. For reasons she'd rather forget, she can't stand most Supers, and uses her mildly famous pen name as a kind of secret identity instead. One evening, fiercely independent Kenna meets the new guy, Enigma, in the most annoying circumstances, and finds him slowly chipping away at her prejudices. Then, with Villains on the loose, threatening to foist a great Evil (with a capital E) on Sapphire City and those she holds dear, Kenna has to ask herself one question: is it time for everything to change?
8 108Yugioh 5Ds: Lost Memories
Waking up in a creepy place with no memories is scary. Reading people's emotions, seeing their darkest secrets and fears when I look into their eyes, seeing duel spirits, and having amnesia, while waking up in a creepy place is utterly terrifying! Meet... Well... Me. That's not my name though. I've been told my name is Cat Simmons and I live in Domino City, but I don't believe it. Then again what can I believe. Witness my adventure as I meet new people who act like they know me, make enemies that wish they didn't know me, and help save the world while I try to get to know me!!!! Yeah, fun.This story follows some details on the Yugioh 5Ds game and mostly the anime. But there are some differences from both.(Very Cringy in the beginning but gets better later on! Will be editing the first cringy chapters soon!)
