《The Last Death Mage》update and pending rewrite
Advertisement
So, This was my first real story here and was one of my better concepts.
I have been planning on a rewrite of this for a while, but have not been able to. I will be rewriting this, changing some things around and fit it into a similar universe.
The First story in the series is still unnamed but i have it planned out and developed to the end, it will be a supernatural noir themed story.
Premise for that below.
Spoiler: Spoiler
This seemingly mundane world we live in is full of strange and wondrous things, from magic to mystical creatures. Once these things were as common as leaves in the wind but many centuries ago they disappeared entirely from this earth when Vlad Tepes Dracula was killed. The truth is that they only disappeared on the surface, beneath it however, magic is alive and well, just hidden from the mundane world.
The hidden world of the Supernatural is a ruthless and lawless place known of by criminals, those they exploit, and few others. Supernatural beings cannot be found everywhere, most stay in their nations of birth, but the US is a bit on an exception. It is and always has been a melting pot a place immigrants from all over come to make a new life, this even applies to those of the supernatural world.
The major cities of the US each have a population of supernatural tenants, some are large in size, others small. The City of Cross Timber, located along the shores of Lake Eyrie squarely on the border between Pennsylvania and Ohio, is a bit of an exception. It has always had a larger criminal presence than most cities its size, and has a large population of supernatural beings as well.
The other two stories in the same verse are Primal Thing (Name pending) and The Rewrite of the Last Death Mage (title undetermined). They will take place on the West coast, in California and characters will be hinted at or introduced in the first story, with side stories to transition into the actual story.
I am unsure of when i will begin the rewrite or such, but thought to make you guys aware since i know some preferred this story to my other, Fate of the Summoned/Godly protector.

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.
