《The Rest is Riddles》Welcome!
Advertisement
Thanks so much for choosing to click on "The Rest is Riddles"! This story is the first of a trilogy that I've been working on for several years, and I am excited to share it with you all.
What is this story about? It's about courage and friendship and picking yourself up again after making mistakes. It's about how mutual hatred and conflicting interests can cause people to do incredibly stupid and harmful things. It's about redemption and also about what happens when ordinary people get their hands on more power than is good for them.
Also, dragons. Because every good fantasy needs the odd dragon or two (or three! or four!)
All books in the trilogy will be posted into this book for ease of discovery. Below is a roadmap for what to expect:
The Rest is Riddles: ~70,000 words [COMPLETE]
The Rest is Ruins: ~50,000 words [1/20 chapters posted]
The Rest is Written: ~90,000 words [0/33 chapters posted]
I am constantly working to grow and improve as an author. As such, I thrive on feedback and constructive criticism, and I welcome any and all comments. If you like something I did, let me know. If you lost interest or hated it, tear the story apart! I will try my best to use the information to grow and improve as a writer. I promise not to take feedback personally or get defensive.
Thanks again for reading, and I hope you enjoy! :)

However, Everything is upended when foreign races descend on earth, introducing humans to cultivation. Suddenly, the mythical abilities written about in stories are no longer works of fiction, but instead are the new reality. The foreign races-- Congregated into factions -- didn't come to Earth out of benevolence, however. They had a goal, which becomes apparent when Portals begin appearing across the globe. On the other side of these portals, sits a vast new world with resources galore. The faction's couldn't visit this new world themselves, so they requested that humans enter these portals to explore and conquer this new world in their sted as their champions, and in return, they offered these humans knowledge and resources for their cultivation. Just like that, a life changing opportunity presented itself to Kade and the rest of humanity. Is it truly as simple as it seems, or is there something dangerous under the surface? What makes this new world different from the countless others in the universe? If it sounds too good to be true, then it likely is. But those are questions for another day. For now, our protagonist will grasp this opportunity with both hands and claw his way to the top while facing the obstacles in his path as he goes! -Cover Art- The cover art is composed of two parts. 1: The hand was drawn by Robert Marzullo, a professional artist who has illustrated a few comic books and had some 3D animation on television. He is currently illustrating his own comic book 'Blackstone Eternal'. He has graciously allowed me the opportunity to use his artwork for the cover of my original webnovel. -Link to the art used: https://www.deviantart.com/robertmarzullo/art/Hand-Studies-By-RAM-605188489 -Robert Marzullo's Deviant Art page where you can find his other social media: https://www.deviantart.com/robertmarzullo/about 2: The magic circle used was created by ChocasaJulie on Deviant Art. She follows her passion for art despite those that would consider it a waste of time. She has even made some of her art Free Use in support of other artists. Her only ask is that she is credited, and that is more than fair!
