《Fracture: Tales of the Broken Lands》Update
Advertisement
Hello everyone, first off, I'd like to apologize for the massive delay in the chapter. I'm not gone but things are far from peachy on my end. The past 11 days have been especially difficult for me. I've been to the ER 3 times with a loved one as we deal with the health issues of the tragedy I mentioned in the comments of the last chapter (I am ok, physically at least, but my loved one is not). Outside of the ER, we've had to go to multiple doctor visits and two operations. On top of all that, my aunt was hit by a car while crossing the street this week and she died on impact.
As I said, it hasn't been a good time. However, I planned to finally sit down today and finish the chapter for you guys because it looked like there would be a reprieve. The fact that I'm posting this update should tell you what you need to know. I've only barely gotten anything done and I just got a call. Back to the ER, I go.
Thank you all for the patience you've shown thus far. I wanted to give you all an update at least and I hope I'm able to get back to writing soon.

Debut: the day every young gentleperson of age gathers to receive their Spirit Blessing and shift for the first time into their second form. Except for those who don't. Beatrice's worst fear is to be one of the unlucky few trapped perpetually in a human body, cut off from the magic of the spirits and unfit for any respectable pack or pride. But when the time comes to face her fear, the outcome is one she never could have imagined. Be warned, this story is some highly experimental fluff—an unapologetically girly, unrelentingly bisexual, Regency/Victorian-ish fantasy mish-mash. It does have a dark side, though, so don’t come in expecting all sunshine and roses. Worthy of note, given the reputation of shifter stories: there will be no explicit sex in this tale. There will, however, be lots of polyamorous romance, necromancy, portal magic, capricious spirits, elemental mages, an unconventional take on shifters and a highly ordered society built around their existence.

Cruxborne Legends
People play games everyday though the most hardcore gamer can be legendary. Markus has played video games since elementary school and competed in tournaments since his freshman year of high school, but when he is offered the chance to play as a beta tester for Reality Interactive's new VRMMO game Cruxborne Legends, he jumps straight in. When he logs in for the first time, Markus learns that things are not as they originally seemed and everything has a cost. Including lives. Cruxborne Legends is a Royal Road exclusive story set in the multiverse/universe of the Lord of Creation series and can be read independently of the main series. This series will feature a Anti-Hero protagonist, LGBTQ+ characters (and interactions), explicit content (skippable through spoilers in the chapters), and various story arcs pertaining to progression and potential escape/logging out of a digital world. This story may not be reproduced on any other site except for Royal Road and my Patreon by anyone else. This story is inspired by Viridian Gate Online by James Hunter, Rules-Free VRMMO Life by Stuart Grosse, Monstar Saga by Eden Redd, and New Era Online by Shemer Kuznits.
