《Aliad - Tale of Zed [Dropped]》I'm alive.
Advertisement
So I know I haven't been posting a lot but I have had a lot of things going on the past weeks. At the same time I was regretting on dropping any of my old stories. I don't want to regret things and I seriously want to see those stories finish and share it with everyone. So I'm doing this:
I'm going to start all the stories over from the very beginning. The stories will be the same but I just want to put it as a new fiction. There may be some changes but I doubt that. Doing this could make some of you happy while the rest might be grumbling about me not finishing what I started. While the latter is true I ask for your patience. I tend to not finish what I start and I want to change that. Everyday I regret not finishing these stories and I really don't like to do that. So I'm going to be honest, this will be difficult for me and that's why I ask for your patience. I also ask that if I'm not doing the things I said I would do that you please tell me. I too want to see how the story ends and sometimes I get sidetracked very easily (blame video games). So I'm giving you all what I intend to do. I may have said Aliad was 7 books long but with the addition of "Legend of Lunos" it has become 10 books long.
Codex 1
Codex 2 - Dragonflight
Codex 3
Codex 4
Codex 5 - Zed's Tale
Codex 6
Codex 7
Codex 8 - Legend of Lunos
Codex 9
Codex 10
I intend to write three books at the same time namely Codexes 2, 5, and 8. Each will appear once a month on Wednesday. They will be posted in the order that they are listed so the first chapter would be the new one called Dragonflight. Then the next would be Zed's Tale and the next is Legend of Lunos. After that is a week's rest for me to do what I need to do or write chapters. If I fail to do this I ask that you please let me know and I will go back to the routine. It will take some time I know but I just need to get it a habit and then everything will flow. I just hope that I can do this.

Codexes 5 and 8 may or may not be the same as it was before. I intend to leave them as is but I may just change the POV or some minor changes. I have posted the same as the above on the other stories and I hope you comment on anything plot holes that you noticed onto the respective Codex and I will try to change them.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and please enjoy reading the other books here on royalroad.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.

The Elementalist
The world was thrown into chaos as humans all over the planet were taken to participate in the Trials. A contest to separate the strong from the weak. Each human was given the chance to prove their will and grow in order to survive. Little did everyone know that before this all happened certain individuals were taken to test out the system. Tide was one of those individuals and sadly failed to survive. Instead of dying he was just brought back into the main event when everyone else began. Having a second chance to do better Tide prepares himself for what is to come. Ps. cover image isn't mine. I am just using it as a place holder for now.

She's a wanted criminal, a decent liar, a questionable planner, a technological whiz, but most importantly, a big sister. Sarah is her everything, her umbrella in a ruthless storm. But Sarah isn't afraid to speak her mind, oh no no no; people are people, words are words, and she misses Luna. Everything here sucks. Why does she have to do so much work, and why do all the bad men look like robot zombies? What is that smell? Why is there a tiger locked in a cage, and why are the beds so flippin' hard? There's only one answer: she's been kidnapped, and the only way out is back the way she came.
