《A Forgotten Soul》A Big Annoucement: Forgotten Soul To Be Continued
Advertisement
So Hi, I didn't think I'd actually do this. I was trying to stall a bit and I spent like a month maybe a bit longer than a month trying to fix this but I've come to absolutely hate this story. How should I put this, it became far too convoluted. This was my first story and I had so many ideas I wanted to use, and in the end I put too many in here. Everything grew unnecessarily complicated, and things were going nowhere. I've been writing the drafts for the next few chapters, and re-writing them over and over and over again for the past month now. And it was going nowhere., and I hated it.
So too put it simply this story is being put on an extremely long hiatus, which basically means I'm dropping it. I plan on coming back, and I still plan on writing my other stories but I wont be updating this one. Now if you feel like it I have two other stories, one I'll be updating rather often and the other I'll be updating biweekly. I'll put a link at the bottom of this announcement so if you feel like checking them out feel free to do so. From here on out I'll just be talking about a few things, related about the story and myself.
The Part that doesn't matter as much
So, why don't I talk a little about this story. I created this story about 2 years ago, and it was absolute shit. So, I dropped it like I did now, but then I decided to rewrite it with the help of my friend. And I've managed to write far more than I ever have, and slowly but surely I've been improving. I looked back at the prologue and first chapter and I realized just how bad it was, and edited it and probably a couple month from now those edits will become just inferior as I grow as a writer.

And you see I wanted this story to be about a normal person, with built in plot armor. It was a little joke since I always love joking about plot armor, so I thought it would be interesting to let the main character understand that fact too. And I wanted all the problems the MC faced have to do with his immortality.
He can't die, but other can. He can save himself, but he can't save others. This is the sort of struggle I intended for him to face. I also wanted him to face what it meant to be an immortal monster, what it meant to be a Demon. I wanted him to face a number of scenarios that would force him to question his morals.
But you see there was one problem I encountered. I made our MC a lazy person, because as a lazy person myself I could more easily find a solution to his problems by putting myself in that scenario. And if I wanted him to get stronger there I had something to motivate him, which was quite hard since.
Anyways I suppose I should end it here, and this is rather good time for me too end it. A lot of exams are coming up so I can focus on that, and there's all sorts of stuff going on irl. So it's best that I just stop now instead of making you guys wait. And honestly I should have done this earlier, so I suppose I should apologize huh.
Well it's not like this story will never continue, it's just that whenever you see it again it's going to be different. See you guys whenever I rewrite this story.

The Pugilist
Vincent Roy Salazar has never been your common folk. He climbed any mountain he found in front of him. From a bright young student to an accomplished professor, his life can be described as a continuous race to the top of his chosen fields. Patriarch of a loving family, proud father of three already grown siblings, Roy realizes that his life is the perfect picture of what the average man strives for, and for that he is truly grateful. But happiness is a difficult-to-reach goal, and as he lies in a pool of his own blood, his fist cracked, a young lady crying while cradling his head, he remembers what really gave sense to his youth. Pure Unadulterated Violence The Pugilist wants to be a different take on isekai shenanigans. What would happen if instead of a moronic idiot, a depressed high schooler, or a wannabe hero the one to get his do-over is a fully grown man that has already seen what life has to offer in full? Someone who conformed himself to society, but has always craved something different? In a journey of self-discovery, academy building, god-slaying, and absolutely no harem we follow someone driven by logic, experience, and a smokey goal: to fuck shit up, have fun while doing so, and maybe resume his career as a professor for those strange, magic-wielding, unstable youths that seems to never get enough of his presence. Guys, a few notes, first of all, this is my first time writing long-form fiction. I have a background in psychology, and my main income comes from writing dreary financial articles on SEO blogs. But after a bad break-up, and finding myself falling asleep only while thinking of deus ex machina for stories on this site (and for APGTE) I decided to try my hand at this web series thingy. I'm confident in my grammar, but that's it. Everything else will be a first time, and as such any constructive criticism is encouraged and gratefully accepted. Now, on the story. Romance will be introduced once my little heart is mended, if you are scared of LGBT you may be turned off by the fact that I plan to have no taboo of any kind in my universe, but I won't ever write detailed sex scenes for any characters so don't worry too much. The litRPG part is very light and will take place later in the novel, but it's a key component nonetheless, for world-building and storyline reasons. I already have everything big planned out, so I won't drop it outta nowhere, and I hope you won't find too many flaws in how things pan out. I plan to make The Pugilist an interactive story, with secondary characters created by my audience and introduced after tweaks and careful planning. The main reason I'm writing this is that I want to build a community for myself in this time of isolation. I discovered that exercising, playing the piano or video games means jack-shit when you are utterly miserable, so I hope to give some value to my readers in exchange for praise, fame, money, and companionship. I give full props to anyone who has read this whole mess of a synopsis: I hope to not disappoint too much, now let's write some more steaming garbage that will be in dire need of editing later on.
