《[Cryoverse] The Last Precursor》Author Note!
Advertisement
Hello, and welcome to The Last Precursor! This is a story I first wrote and published on Reddit back in 2020, right around the start of the pandemic. It is a fully completed story with 97 chapters! I will be publishing this story in chunks of several chapters a day over the next month or so.
This is a heavily rewritten version of the original Reddit release. It is not a mere copy-paste, and it features an edited ending, an entire brand new chapter in the middle, and several major changes to vastly improve the flow and continuity of the series.
TLP is part of the [CRYOVERSE]. It is not the first entry in the Cryoverse, but it is intended to be a launching point to get you into the rest of the universe. In addition to The Last Precursor, I am also currently writing The Cryopod to Hell and other stories. TCTH is the main serial. While TLP is approximately 350,000 words long, TCTH is currently 1,640,000 words and 408 chapters long.
You can check out all of my other writing through this link:

If I end up getting a lot of readers through Royal Road, I will post TCTH on here as well, perhaps also giving it a heavily edited treatment like I have for TLP. Do note however that TCTH is far denser with information, so this would be a long-term project.
Feel free to leave comments and criticism in the comments of chapters. I will read them all and respond wherever possible. If you'd like, you can also join my Discord, which has over 600 other readers like you!

Finally, there is also a Cryoverse Wiki which I only started up two months ago... because I didn't realize you could just make a wiki for free. Feel free to contribute to it! We have discussions about the wiki in the Discord, mentioned above.
I hope you guys enjoy my work! Without further ado, let's get to reading!

The Hawkshaw Inheritance
The Hawkshaw Inheritance is a completed story, with twenty chapters in total. For as long as almost anyone can remember, a small percentage of people have possessed fantastic gifts. Superhuman strength, speed, and smarts are just a few of the many such abilities on record. Some choose to exploit these powers for personal gain, but most use them for the benefit of their fellow man. Thanks to these people, who we call superheroes, the world is safe. The reality is a little more complicated. Most heroes are content to stop the supervillain and pose for the cameras. But it takes more than a few costumed cops and superpowered celebrities to save the world. Humanity is in danger from forces that ordinary heroes are woefully unequipped to handle. But neither they nor the public will ever be aware of the danger they are in, thanks to the efforts of the Council. For more than twenty years, the world's most powerful, influential, and intelligent metahumans have worked tirelessly in secret to protect the world, and subtly steer it on a better course. Six months ago, one of their number, the infamous vigilante detective known as Hawkshaw, disappeared without a trace. Now it falls to his protege to take up the mantle of Hawkshaw, learn the truth of his mentor's disappearance, and uncover the secrets of the most powerful people in the world... as well as what they're willing to do to keep those secrets buried.

Majority Rule
Readers choose from a selection of options for participants of a survival game show known as "Can Anyone Beat Level 10?". Each level has some monsters to kill and a boss at the end. Treasure chests and traps are available. Treasure chests, if opened successfully, give decent weapons, first aid kits, etc. If unsuccessful, treasure chests will either explode, taking some health from player or do become permanently closed. Monsters in dungeon levels depend on the theme of the week. This game show occurs on the first week of every month. The game just showed up out of nowhere and many people were interested in it as they attended the live version of the show. As for its mysteries...well, who knows? Maybe someone will solve them some day. But, for now, let the games begin! This is a story that depends on the votes of the viewers using the poll system. I will probably wait a week or so per poll in order to accumulate enough votes. After the week is up, viewers can still vote but it won't affect the story. This is my first interactive fiction so it might not be on par with the better ones. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed reading this story. Thanks.
