《Scrapped Idea》I'm sorry, it's a hiatus.
Advertisement
As some of you might have read from the yesterday's "No Chapter Post" I am going on a Hiatus, well sort of.
The reason is not because I am tired or got sick of writing Dragon Cross or smth but because after reading over the entire story myself now, I realized that I stacked up too many things without clearing up the old ones. In the beginning chapters, it may not matter much but as the story progresses it will have a mountain load of stuff piled on each other without anyone, me included, knowing who did what where. I also realized that I put in way to many unnecessary things. Since I am not used to hal assing the things I do, my plan is as follows:
I will take a few weeks off and seriously reread the story a few times and do a list of all the plot events I tried to do but did not finish properly. Then I will try to rewrite the story not to be a bullet train that flies off into the unknown with one thing happening after another and would try to slow down and finish one major event before starting the next one. This will also change the plot overall by a lot. I will also try to include more characters and build them a bit as well instead of old man 1, old man 2, old woman 1, old woman 2 and so on and so on.
My plan is to finish about 10-15 chapters (maybe more if luck shines on me) and do a massive release of them on December 24th.
Since I will practically rewrite the story, there will be a lot of changes in terms of characters, abilities and maybe even cultivation levels. The back stories of characters will change too, some may be even completely rewritten. So, this thread will remain open to all the questions and bashing towards me, the lazy bum who can't do anything right.

So a big sorry to all the readers who liekd the story so far but if you have the will or interest, you might try out the rewritten one.
So, G'Night and I will go find myself a few poro snacks and a cup of hot cocoa to ease my sadness.

Keys of the Endpoint
Keys of the Endpoint is an illustrated web serial about the re-birth of civilization in a fantastical world suffering from a recent apocalyptic event. Every day, people appear from the storms that ravage the Endpoint. Whisked away from their own time and place by storms in their homelands, these newcomers find themselves in a hostile place made up of ruins and people from every timeline imaginable. Stranger still, they all soon discover they're carrying silver keys that grant each holder incredible powers. On Earth, most people have mundane excuses for the disappearances, but not Isaac. Having lost his brother Finn to one of these storms, Isaac becomes obsessed with finding a pattern. Not to prevent more people disappearing, but rather to get taken by the storms himself in order to find his brother. While chasing Finn’s faint trail, Isaac soon discovers how little he really knew about himself, his brother and how much loss one person can take. In Keys of the Endpoint there's portal fantasy, personal drama, magic (useable by everyone), plenty of combat, power progression, mysteries, factions, feuds and eventually war (in that order). The magic system is well defined and modular with nigh infinite combinations. The story starts out with one of the two main characters looking for his lost brother but quickly expands in scope from that point on.

Apollyon, The God of Chaos.
The old tales passed down generation by generation speak of a time where Heroes from earth went on to fight the Demon Lord in the Mirror Land but one person is always forgotten. A mystery person who gave the habitants of Earth the weapons capable of destroying cities with the slash of a sword and who gave the Demon's the capability of using destructive magic. With this, the mystery person caused a long cycle of war which is exactly what he wanted. It gave him power, it put everything into a constant state of Chaos and this Chaos is what kept him going. It gave him strength. This person was Apollyon, The God of Chaos. This will be a story of twists and turns as Apollyon tries to return to his former glory.

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.
