《(Dropped) The Story Previously Known as: NeoRealm - Staring back into the Future》So I feel I went beyond my abilities with this story
Advertisement
The bad news is I don't plan on continueing this story. I overstepped my ability with this and learned a few leasons from it. The story seed that started it was really good but I wasn't ready to combine the two concepts and my ability to describe crafting isn't quite good enough at the moment. I really enjoy crafting stories but I will have to put actually writing one on the backburner for a few stories.
Now the good news is I don't want to give up on the idea behind this. The thought of a cultivator being reincarnated into a scifi world and playing a VR game is really interesting to me. The setting for the VR game though will be changed and the story is going to be basically restarted. I am going to go with a fantasy setting and a single world. I must admit that going with a scifi setting was less because I had a good story for it and more because I was reading a scifi story at the time. My grounding in fantasy and myth is much firmer. Also because I am somewhat tired of the twist I promise that there won't be any "reality was fake and the VR was real" nor just the "VR is real" in general. They are good twists but it feels like I have seen too many good stories take that turn recentlyish. There will however be a slight touch of "Your skills translate between the game and life" going on because I like the idea of old masters going into the game and kicking butt as well as someone learning how to cook in VR then being able to in reality. That is one of the big things about "real VR", if you learn how to crack an egg into a frying pan it shouldn't change too much in either one. Though there will be a bit of depth to that as just killing weak monsters to grind your sword skill and letting system assist do it wouldn't allow you to be a sword master in reality.

Lastly as a bit of neutral news the time between chapters will more on the weekly scale. More specifically it probably won't be anything like every monday but rather a chapter whenever I have a day off. Neither here nor there really. Just how life works out.

A Fractal Divide
Lesivar is a city in ascendancy. With recent innovations in magical crafting, the common people are experiencing a boom in comfort and wealth. The nobility, long used to being the stewards of knowledge and power, struggle to adapt to the new world in which they find themselves. A precarious balance has been maintained throughout, but forces stir beneath the surface threatening to send the city spiraling into chaos. This is my first attempt at writing anything longer than a short story, and I welcome any feedback or corrections. I'm posting this as I write, with each chapter going live upon completion. My current pace is about a chapter a day, which I expect to take my through the end of November. From there, I'm shooting for a chapter every two-three days until the book is completed, along with an editing pass of what is already up. I'm planning on three POV characters with unique insight into the story as it unfolds. Each chapter will contain only one POV. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Lay of the Black Doors
Nikha von Kranssov awakens one sunny morning to find that things have gone all wrong: Her maid has been murdered, her father is missing, and her house, Eldergrave Manor, is far larger and less familiar than it should be. She decides to grab her trusty rifle and set out into a home made strange and sinister, determined to find her father and confront whoever is responsible. The Lay of the Black Doors is a horror/adventure story that takes place in a secondary world. It is mainly inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, China Miéville’s Bas-Lag books, M.T. Anderson’s The Game of Sunken Places, and Shea and Wilson’s The Illuminatus! Trilogy. Be warned that the story involves frightening situations and occasional dark themes, as well as some violence and gore. Weekly updates. No longer on hiatus! The cover image is not mine. It is "The Drawbridge," a 1761 engraving by Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
