《The Brotherhood Archive:Crossroads(Revised)》No chapter this Week,
Advertisement
Yes, I know I'm reposting this. Yes, I know that I'm just running it through an editing software. And just posting it.
However, it has come to my attention this is this part and I have some thoughts about this part and the next that follows it. I will try to have them both up next week, but I need some time to think about my...wording and explanation of something that happens there. Maybe my approach to it. Because I can't or rather I really don't want to change what happens. I just want to present it a little better, if that makes sense.
So I need to, well, sleep on it. Because that people is how you fix all plot and character problems. Do you overthink on it while staring at a wall?
Nah!
You sleep on it.
Plus, my sitting out an update this week has enabled me to work on the new contest story. What about the old contest story? When are you finishing that?
I'm still working on it. I said it would be sporadic. However, I do have a new part waiting in the wind.
Though the new contest story is going to be that, short. It's so short that I'm nervous about it making it to the 8K mark. I'm halfway done with it. And no, it's not going to be anything gaming related. It's not a progression story. No power fantasy. There maybe some crossing of a different realm. It's mystical realism. Something I wanted to write for a long time and to be honest, this contest entry is likely the last new story I'm going to post to RoyalRoad.
I've a lot of thoughts I've just been holding back the last several months. Perhaps after I finish Hy-Ruh-Ha complete revisions, I'll talk about it, but not right now.

Ogre Tyrant
Tim wakes up to find he is naked and alone in a fantasy world. However, he is not as alone as he first thought. There are other people running around all over the place fighting monsters for a living. Unfortunately for Tim, he seems to be one of those monsters. Desperate for any degree of safety and normalcy he can find, Tim must tread a fine line between freedom and subservience to survive. All while trying to keep alive a trio of adventurers hellbent on becoming legends. However, unfortunately for Tim, he is not the only one from earth to awaken in this world and the other Awakened aren't nearly so benevolent. Warning: The protagonist begins the story quite cowed and meek but progresses into a more assertive and situationally dominant personality. This is partly due to growth, but also a result of the character overcoming initial shock and longstanding depression. If you think I could have handled a segment better, by all means, point it out and provide your reasoning and suggestion. Everyone's experience of depression is different, and Tim's is a close representation of my own, so it won't necessarily 'vibe' with everyone. Chapters are around 15k words and released approx 1/week over the weekend. Has been reduced to around 7.5k to 9k to better fit my schedule.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Heirs of the Hooded King
The Hooded King was a terrible force, a mortal of unimaginable power whose soul was the catalyst for the fall of the gods and the remaking of the world. It was only by his own will and repentence of his sins that he was slain. However, now, unimaginable ages after his fall, his soul is reborn in many parts placed across the Six Living Realms that were once Eighteen of the Nineteen Realms. Each of these reborn children is given a single title when they awaken to the System... 'Heir of the Hooded King'. One of these children is Karzaia Manthein, the eldest daughter of the Lord of Clan Manthein. When she goes to the statue of the Maker on her System Day, she is presented with her title and put on the path to power that knows no end, unaware that she is one of the special children selected for a purpose that is uncaring of their desires, fears, or loves.
