《Fragmented Realms》Anouncement: End of the first arc!
Advertisement
Once more, hello everyone! It's Monkey_Without_a_Tail here.
First things first, let me thank you for reading until here, I hope you had a great time reading Fragmented Realms until now and will continue to do so in the near future!
Now then, where do I begin?
I guess I will start with my current 'situation' of sorts. Well, you see, the truth is for a little less than a month now I have begun serving my Country as a soldier. I know, crazy right?! Even I wasn't expecting it until recently... Anyway, long story short, I won't lie to you I have no clue whether I'll have the time or place to keep writing from now on. At least that's the case for the next few months.
I have talked with a friend who has already completed his service and told me it won't be completely impossible, just insanely hard.
Ok, with that being said, here is the plan I am gonna go with from now on. I'll take advantage of the first 2-3 months to get acclimated to the place, by then I'll most probably have a semi-stable schedule where I can make some time to write. If not, then you will be seeing me in the summer again :P
Now that I made my situation clear, the next thing I wish to talk about is the story. First of all, I am really, REALLY happy that I actually managed to finish the first arc. Like you have no idea how happy I am xD Why? Because I absolutely hate leaving stuff unfinished. Completing what one started is just the basics of not only self-respect but also a way of living. As a reader myself, I hate reading books only to be dropped partway through the story. It frustrates me more than anything and I wouldn't wish for anything more than to not be the one to impose that feeling. First and foremost for me, and then for everyone else.

Anyway, sorry for getting sidetracked with all my rumbling I just felt like saying it... Now, where was I? Right, the story itself. Hmm... Without wanting to spoil anything, the first arc was merely an introduction to the actual game itself. That is because, before I even started writing the story itself, I had already created the game's system, world, mechanics, physics, stats, and pretty much everything 'game' related.
These all will slowly be revealed throughout the second arc so I won't be getting into details. (Mostly because I can't keep my monkey snout shut!)
One last thing before I bid ya all farewell is that I may be opening a Patreon with the return of the second arc. And, I say 'maybe' because I don't know whether I can keep up with the advanced chapters as of yet. Anyway, I believe that's all I had to say? Maybe? I don't know? Welp, if I forgot something I'll add it later.
Once more, this was an amazing journey for me, not only as a person but as a fledgling author as well, and it pains me more than anything thinking I won't be able to write from now on...
I wish you all a great week and hope to see you all again in the near future!
Monkey over and out!

Path of Jade
The Emperor has been murdered, leaving the Qeitan Dynasty in chaos. Liao is a privileged prince and Seer, possessing the power to see the past, present, or future. Witnessing a vision of the future foretelling his fate: his kingdom razed, ascending the throne and leading to his death, he must unravel the threads of his prophecy before it is completed. As Liao discovers more of the truth, kingdoms burn – and empires make their move. Yvir is a lowly tavern brawler, fighting only to pay off her debt and her mother’s. Taking a job to clear what they owe, Yvir finds herself caught in a conspiracy spanning continents. Jhong is Headsman of the most powerful syndicate in Qeita. Despite his influence, he still lurks in the shadows, away from the bright eyes of the immortals. Where one would find themselves overlooked, Jhong sees opportunity, and he'll seize his prize: all of Qeita, even if it means killing people who consider themselves unkillable. The fate of an empire hangs in the balance, and blood is spilled in the scale of rivers. There is only one path seen – set with secrets, brutal truths, and the eternal conquest for immortality: a path of Jade. A Grimdark Fantasy saga inspired by the ancient Chinese epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, R.F. Kuang's The Poppy War, George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones, Mark Lawrence's hauntingly dark tone, and the prophetization of Frank Herbert's Dune.

Tales of a Grim World.
Ancient prophecies say that once every thousand years, one shall rise to bring about a new age of darkness. A harbinger of evil, a being born for the sole purpose of sowing misery and disgrace. Through them, the world shall know of war, famine, pestilence and death— the four seals that herald the end of times. Besieged by the maws of evil, humankind shall suffer in agony as they watch everything they once knew be unmade before them. To oppose such a being, the whole world has had to stand united, in the battles that came to be historically known as the Great Holy Wars. Guided by the Saintess of Irithel, brave heroes coming from the four corners of the world had to sacrifice their lives in order to fight against the Harbinger and cast away the darkness. Our story begins in the year 578, a bit over six hundred years since the end of the fifth holy war. In the kingdom of Valtia, a small nation belonging to the Union of Western Kingdoms, an urgent missive bearing the royal seal arrives at the hands of Earl William Taylor. Though it might still be almost half a millennia too early for another Harbinger to be born, dark clouds already loom over the northern continent of Gram, as many bizarre events start taking place. Follow the story of our main characters as they struggle to survive in a grim, unforgiving world. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Warning: This work is intended for mature audiences and contains adult scenes and heavy descriptions of violence and gore.
