《Monsters and Maidens》Volume 4, Alchimia Rex
Advertisement
Read up on the author note above!
I am posting "Monsters and Maidens" Volume 4 onwards in its own story block (I would probably call it "book 2") mostly for the sake of convenience.
For one, I have taken the lessons learnt in these first 3 volumes and altered the format to try and provide a tighter narrative.
It starts off with a minor time-skip, and continues with a focus entirely centered on Rick & the girls.
Do I intend to just ignore Mark and the others forever? No. But their presence will be relegated to the odd bonus chapter or if/when they become relevant to Rick's story.
The story itself is also intended as a potential entry-point for new readers, one of those "You don't need to read 200+chapters if you don't want to. They're there, but it's not mandatory".
I have hopes to also take part in this year's Writeathlon (hopefully it happens starting Nov 1st), so I will post a bunch of chapters starting next week! I look forward to feedback!
Hope you guys enjoy it!

(RR doesn't let me make a chapter post unless it has 500 words, everything following this is basically just filler)

Nexitus: Neoteric Origins
Humanity is on the brink of extinction despite recent advances in artificial intelligence. Birthrates are on the decline and the population is on the brink of anarchy when a miracle seems to appear. An extraterrestrial company has been working with the governments for entry into a galaxy-spanning entertainment system. To upload our consciousness into a new body and begin anew in this wondrous seeming world. But is all on the up and up as it appears to be? This is a story about a married couple who aim to upload themselves to enjoy a new lease on life, have adventures, and maybe find something they shouldn't have. Join Susan and Phil on their journey into a brand new world where their relationship and adventuring are more then what they thought it would be. Authors Note: Found out I shouldn't be using content warning tags until the story has them so I did remove them but it will likely contain sexual content, profanity, gore, and traumatizing content in the future.

Evolution of the Lazy Gamer by Bruticus
It had been five years since the game Royalroad first appeared. A new expansion had been released and one person was assigned by his company to review it. That was the beginning of the story of a lazy, unheroic character who would meet others just as lacking in the heroism department as he was. Still life (or virtual life) throws you curve balls and you never know what will happen.
