《Imperator's Path: A Sci-Fantasy Xianxia》Poll and Reader Preferences on the Next Story
Advertisement
Hello friends,
I have a favor to ask of you all which is to assess my readers’ preferences for the next story I work on. Over the course of Imperator’s Path, I‘ve spent time developing many different ideas, but I would like to hear your input on a few of them. All of these would have some amount of LitRPG in them, but outside of that they vary in genre and setting.
-
Story Concept A: An alien spy arrives on Earth only to realize that in between his departure and arrival superheroes have developed amongst humanity. Against his wishes, he finds himself drawn into the life of a hero.
Features superheroes, a modern Earth setting, and a lighter tone than Imperator’s Path.
-
Story Concept B: The Holy Grail was broken and the cycle of reincarnation for the key figures of Arthurian legend was forever damaged. 500 years later, the isle of Brytannia is ruled by monstrous dragons and is embroiled in constant war between the dragons’ mechanized knights.
Features Arthurian mythos, an alternate timeline and geography for Earth, and supernatural mechas.
-
Story Concept C: Mankind lives in networks of caverns large enough to hold entire cities. To rise to the surface is to risk the ire of hostile entities from the sky, to delve too deep into the earth may awaken ancient horrors from their slumber.
Features dungeons, radioactive golems, slight elements of Mesopotamian myth.
-
Story Concept D: A young wizard framed for a crime makes a deal with the magical authorities to avoid criminal charges. Under this deal he must join an academy of sorcery as a student and discover the identity of the prophesized Chosen One without alerting any of the other major wizarding factions.
Features a masquerade setting, a magical academy, and power struggles.
Attached will be a poll link so that readers without accounts can be heard, but feel free to explain your choices in the comments.

Event Horizon
Warning: the first blue box appears at chapter 24. David always lived his life, looking at the world through a film of grey. He knew he was dull, he knew he was worthless. And the world was too. His life ended in an instant, hit by a truck. Then he woke up again, and the System gave him a mission. Pretty standard isekai, so far. The only problem was that whenever he died, he respawned. After agony and pain, he would come back reforged. And so he died, again and again. And when he completed his mission, another one awaited. On and on. But his life had meaning now.
8 224The Boss of Beginner’s Village
Accardi, the World of Chaos and Glory. A well-known virtual reality game, where players could enjoy a new life as magical beings, powerful heroes or even despicable villains. The game’s programmer, our protagonist, accepted a famous web novelist’s proposal and that’s how the story ‘The Rising of the Magic Swordsman’ was born. Counting with Accardi’s finely made world settings and the writer’s creativity on its peak, both the game and the novel became tremendously popular. But before our protagonist could enjoy this popularity or plot the writer’s murder for distorting the world of Accardi, she died. And then she reincarnated, in a place incredibly similar to her own game’s world. Well, it wasn’t. She didn’t know what god she offended, but the world she reincarnated into wasn’t her Accardi, but the novel’s. To make it even worse, she wasn’t just a mob character, but actually a future member of the protagonist’s harem. And although everything was ridiculously troublesome, there was one thing she couldn’t accept: the fact that in the novel, her precious beginner’s village would be destroyed! Since one of the game’s gold rules was ‘no death at the beginner’s village’, our protagonist takes her pride as the game’s programmer to protect the village! Along the way, several individuals join her to help her goal. But as time passes by, they realized... this lass isn’t normal, is she. So, welcome to Doveshire! Hmm? Are you a powerful master traveling around? An highly dangerous wanted criminal? This kingdom’s King? Well, it doesn’t matter! You are all welcome at our humble village! However... you know, right? No ~ troubles ~ allowed~ *everbody shivers* Expect chapters usually once a week, Saturday or Sunday.
8 187Goddess at the Gates
Uruk; The red city. Its surrounding lands are barren, hot and empty. The dust of the desert accumulates against her western gates. But within its vast walls one finds unparalleled opulence and wealth. Warehouses and brothels line the canals that flow through the streets. Merchants from all corners of the earth mingle on its marketplaces, and uncounted masses reside within the cramped city districts. High-Priestess Eneduanna rules Uruk. The citizenry of Uruk worship her tall form and carve idols in her image. Shé is the Revered one, avatar of the Godess herself. For too long Eneduanna has been placated with coin and simple sacrifices, now the stars have alligned and they demand blood. The season of war has come, and the surrounding Kingdoms will kneel or burn. GODESS AT THE GATES
8 185There's Always A Catch
Measured, clacking sounds of high-heels can be heard walking towards an elegantly decorated hall; illuminated only by the sun’s rays streaming down from glass panels, grand frescoes decorating its concave ceiling. Two imposing guards stationed at the entrance saluted as she passed by, stopping before the foot of a raised dais. “My Lady.” She reverently said, bowing deeply to the woman sitting on the throne. Eyes lazily opened and a smirk slowly forming on her tinted lips. “So it's time.” ••••• How does one act when luck granted power unimaginable. To rule? Become rich? Murder? Decisions one makes have consequences. And there’s always a catch.
