《Project Book》The Future of Project Book
Advertisement
There has been some debate about Project book and its future.
Not just how it is going to go or where, but the why of it.
The starter of this was Project writing, which was a tool I created.
Its use was to connect writers with their community, by letting the community interact with the Future of your Books, it was simply created to do just that, but it became more than to handle.
The designs and jist of it was that you had a System, which could pick up comments from the comment section and then price them as input for the mc to purchase with in story credit.
All of this based on mission and a challenge of the writer to input Community input into your Story, while it being still canon and legitimate to the Story and its timeline of events.
It was simple and easy, just a bit complicated. Over Time I started to notice the bugs and itches in my Arechnocadia Lore design. Noticing those glaring mistakes made me stop working on the System and instead try to fix them.
The Further I went the worst it got, from simply needing to redesign and but in hours to needing to sit outside in the sun for glaring 2 Hours just to pick up on the “AHH” moment, of when I finally just understood the Problem.
Yes, just understanding the problem, not fixing it, it was not just in Project writing. It was everywhere.
Just to mention a few: The 5 Major parts of Arechnocadia were before just 2 parts: Lore and the Company. Over time I split them to the appropriate size, this does not just include Arechnocadia itself, it also includes.
My Book "Dungeon Controll", in which I needed to back up to its inspiration, which was the Game Risk of Rain 2 and a Challenge I never to this day was able to complete. To the inside and Lore of the Story itself, being incomplete and kinda not fitting to the Arechnocadia Universe. As those Stories I have written were major Pillars of Arechnoadias Lore, making the pressure of writing them further even more stressful and less enjoyable.

So, I quit writing them, "Dungeon Controll" missing its first premier and all the input of its story is there just not written as it would take too much time, The Swordsman who want to be a Healer, an inspiration to solo Kill just with less Kill and Worldbuilding and more just power fantasy, with no substance. Tried for months, but nothing gave it the flare as the first Story draft did. Lastly Arechnocadia the in-depth Lore Guide, the one and only Perspective to the inner working of the Omniverse, was passed down from concept drafts to concept drafts till it finally ended with The Story it was now. Third Chapter not available as the Future and where it was going was still hazy. So finally coming back to Project writing and you can see the same things, that hazy niss of when I wrote Wing about the Idea. It was not quite there, and the idea was somewhere but not quite sorted.
And so, it came to Project Book a try to the Idea I propose, without the system of Arechnocadia in the Story. A simple put in guideline to a Story and not a connector.
Now the Future of it all became even more striking over Time, as I started creating the Project and more. From it just being something to make people write better and be more motivated, to a groundwork for every Story available, while still being adaptable to every Story in existence through its widespread Lore and design, it can handle almost any task.
Now what?
It is still out there and the Project itself is also finished now it only needs its finishing touch and that’s where the Future comes into place.
I did not just take this lying down, no I tried something even grander than before.

So, let me explain some of my ideas.
So, what is a Book?
If you can answer that question, then you already know what Project book covers and so it all started.
First Contestant and Idea, why not create a Book out of Art, like all those Picture Books telling Stories more through Pictures then words.
This led to one of my most spent Sundays of the Year, in which I picked an Artist and tried to write a Story backwards, in which instead of writing the beginning I start with the ending.
Taking all those already beautifully crafted characters and putting them into a Story, fitting the art and inspiration they came from.
This all came glaring down to one factor, the factor of it being one art Style, one perspective of an artist retelling an already existing Story in their own way.
This did not just create an original Story, but also an original World of kind.
What does this mean?
I created a whole fucking World out of some Instagram Pictures, in the spam of 5 Hours.
Like it was a Lot of Fun, but it also told me that a Book does not need to have a Story, the World itself can tell the Story just that easily.
By creating a World, you already create a Story and, in that way, already create a Book.
I will take this as a learning experience in the book making genre, but also a step to see further, by allowing people to not just take part in Story writing for Project book to be done through a written media, but also allowing others to do it in their own way.
So that’s the Future of Project book, my first try to expand the genre and see where it leads.
Next up will be a deeper insight into my first Idea of this, the Community Event or Project I called it, in which I took the created World and wrote an Email to the Artist and ask if they are interested to join or do a Community Project with me.

The Yes-Mage
Plenty of people have stopped and asked what it'd be like to simply have everything, and Sylvain Henry Camille Johansson was no different. He was a man who had a lot of things going on, with a name that'd make a supervillain blush and a family who'd make even the useless of their rank into someone important. It was a shame, then, that he was slapped with a dreadfully unfortunate condition that kept him from living up to any of those already low expectations. Stuck living a life where magic is everywhere while he's left working with nothing more than a moderate intellect, a little bit of whatever influence he could get from his family, and a lifetime's practice at making himself the ideal subordinate for his bosses' boss, Vane was still beating the odds and slowly working his way up in the world. When the cunning yes-man finally got a chance to really make a name for himself, he leapt at the offer, taking his first real step onto a road he knew he was always meant to walk. His goal? Nothing less than finding out why he and too many other unfortunate souls are barred from the wonderful world of the higher energies, and with any luck, fixing it. Of course, life has a knack for interfering in even the humblest of plans, and Vane's lofty ideals were anything but humble; he was practically a walking bullseye for disaster. The funny thing about catastrophe, though, is that nobody can ever say what form it's going to take. That’s why, when it all went wrong for Vane, he'd gotten everything he'd ever wanted foisted onto him, and Everything else, too. Watch as a man so used to saying 'yes' to everyone above him finds himself stuck with the power to make reality itself say it back.

And not just any demon either, I'm the [Demon Queen] you know?! Why was I summoned as a hero?! Release Schedule:Every Wednesday and Saturday.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
