HOW TO INCREASE STORY TENSION
— there should never be a moment before the very end of your story where your characters are without tension. tension is conflict and conflict is your plot. if everything is happy-cheery, even for a little while, your readers will grow bored!
— keep at least one ongoing tension present in your character's minds at all times to keep your plot fresh and thrilling.
— no human being is perfect and conflict is interesting!
— it depends if it's the antagonist or the sidekick but let your character screw up. for example, give one a secret or create opposing motivations.
— have your character a low point in his/her life so they can build the courage to overcome it and be able to learn from the experience.
hope this was helpful lolol :-)

A Herald for Spirits
While on Earth, the Church secretly battles over the planet's destiny with multiple other factions; Gabriel was just delivering pizzas when he ended up in a battle among creatures that defied logic. Sure, he thought, who doesn't love pizza? But do angels, demons, and big ass wolves eat pizza as well? Gabriel was paid for his delivery, but the payment he got wasn't exactly what he hoped for, because for all his efforts, the man was rewarded with a lizard... and a world expecting a little too much from him than he was comfortable with. Gabe will find himself in a different world, a world from which all Earth's current problems stem and a world to which he has more ties than he was ever told. Will Gabriel and his lizard survive in a world so hell-bent on getting them to follow its rules, or will they die defying them? Follow their adventures on Alter, where elves, dwarves, orcs, and many more races share their existence with those of Spirits. Whether they like it or not. Release days: once a week.
