《The Abyssal Dungeon》Overdue Update, Decisions Pending
Advertisement
Hello everyone, I have to apologize for not being around terribly much at all. It's been a long, hectic while, with school and family troubles, good things and bad taking up time and energy that I wanted to go to writing— should have gone to writing. Things are still going on, frustratingly, and I wish that things could just be normal and that I could find the spark and love I know that Aby deserves. I still do write, it's a major portion of my degree, but creative writing in an academic setting versus in a casual and fantastical setting is very different. It is frustrating to have the time to write, only to sit down and try to write and find inspiration isn't forthcoming at all. I have only a few chapters backlogged when I should have dozens and I hate this feeling. I wish I knew what I could be doing or how to be doing it to get that feeling back, but I will be trying again to do so.
I made a promise to myself and everyone here that I would never drop this novel completely, and I stand by that, but I also owe this story the best I can give it for being what completely changed the course of my life; I never want to give up writing, and I never would have known I love it the way I do had it not been for the slightly (very) rushed decision to sit down, open up a word document, and just start writing, tossing whatever ideas I'd had up until then to the wind.
As school comes to a close, and I finish this and start my final semester, I will yet again have more time. I will still have some commitment to writing for classes, but I want, crave, being able to sit back down and start releasing new chapters of The Abyssal Dungeon as well as share a few other ideas I've come up with in the meantime. I haven't released these couple stories yet because I don't want to fall into the classic pitfall of endlessly dropping and moving to a new story, but I still work on them in the meantime because I'd rather at least be working on something, and that current something is an especially silly idea that I'm having fun with.

But that's for later; I may decide to start releasing that, explicitly shifting focus to that for a little bit as I try to get back into things, but for now I just wanted to put out an update that everyone here is well-deserving of, and tell you all that I'm alive, my love for writing is alive, and this infuriating block is still alive despite my best efforts to change that. To those of you who read this, thank you for your patience, I truly have no words for the amount of support I have been and am shown by you all, and you reading this right now are as much the reason I love writing, if not moreso, than anything I think could have come from within.
Thank you, and have a truly wonderful day.

Player Killer
In the world of New Dawn, the citizens seem to be suffering a divine punishment of some sort. The monsters that plague them are worse then devils, demons, or depraved criminals. The devils have their own twisted morality, demons are not intrinsically bad—they're just above humans in the food chain—and depraved criminals can at least be killed. The undying, capricious monsters kill anything and everything, devouring all in their sights like a swarm of locusts. What's more, the lords and kings who should be protecting them seem to be working with these monsters. When all seems lost, it falls to a young boy to save his people from these monsters… from the players. … In the players' eyes, he is a hidden boss—possibly even the final boss! In the developers' eyes… what the heck is this bug?!
8 218Virilia: The Untold Tales
Like most people in the world, Kaze was living a mediocre life. Although he had a decent job that gave above average pay, he still wanted something more. So when the new VRMMORPG Virilia came out, he knew he had to get it. The game promised a new exciting life, and he wanted to see if it could keep its promise. The motto of the game was “Different Choices, Different Paths, Different Possibilities.” Thanks to the high tech AI that helped the game run, no one’s play through would ever be the same. Do you want to be a hero, a villain, or just go off and live in seclusion? It was your choice! You could do whatever you wanted. The races you could choose from were vast and plentiful. Were you tired of playing as an elf? As a human? Did you want to try something new? Then play as a golem, a walking shark, a centaur, or a lizardman. If you didn’t like any of these choices, then just choose a different one. The choice was yours to make.
