《Demesne》374 - The Dangers Of Books To Schedules
Advertisement
So, because of certain websites scraping RR and therefore hosting my stories without my permission, I've decided to resort to this. In case you're one of my readers who's listening to this with a TTS app, the story proper is up in the pre-chapter author's notes. If you wait a little, once I'm sure that certain websites have scraped only this, the actual chapter will be moved here, and I'll use the chapter edit notification thing to inform you.
This will go on until I decide there's it's too much effort and go back to how I did things or the stupid website dies. Hopefully the latter.
I'm not the only one with this problem, as I'm fairly certain they're scrapping ALL of RR, and this might be a futile gesture, but it's the principle of the thing.
I don't think they're even really getting anything out of it! The pages don't even seem to have advertisements on the pages for advertisements, so one can only hope they run out of money and they are unable to pay for hosting.
And if you're one of souls reading this message on that blighted website, come and read the real stuff on https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/40290
Also, to my regular readers, could I trouble you to add to Demesne's TVTropes page? Please and thank you! Ratings and reviews would be nice too...
Anyway, once more, apologies to the TTS reader's. It also seems I can't notify you of chapter changes so... just come back in 12 hours? Sorry.

Dungeons Are Bad Business
Vee Vales has been kicked out of his home and directed to make his own way in the world. Along with his friend Alforde Armorsoul, Vee travels to the city of Oar's Crest. Once a prosperous and well-to-do city, Oar's Crest has fallen into depression and disrepair. After finding a strange stone that takes up residence in a tattered top hat and introduces itself as Reginald, Vee and Alforde decide to open a dungeon in Oar's Crest to revitalize the city and, more importantly, make some fleurs. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: Dungeons are Bad Business (DABB) is a slow burn slice-of-life dungeon core litRPG citybuilder that's focused on the day to day experience of running a dungeon. There will be some action, but it won't be the focus of the story and Vee and his friends will usually overcome their problems with their minds and their pocketbooks instead of their weapons. Since I'm participating in the writeathon, I will probably be uploading chapters almost daily for the duration of the event. Thanks for reading!

A Girl and Her Fate
Avien Shepard heralded change with his arrival. Not only was he born on the dawn a solar eclipse, three meteors lit up the sky on the day of his birth. Seven sages visited across seven years to gift him with knowledge of the seven legal schools of magic, and a deceased outlaw fought his way up from the hells to grant knowledge of the tabooed eighth on the next. On his eleventh birthday, a sword fell from the sky and landed in a very important chair. Soldiers from far and wide traveled to attempt to extract the sword from the queen’s throne, but none could shift the blade, until Avien. When he was fourteen, Avien learned of a prophecy that foretold of his decade long battle with the Demon Prince of Invea. But this isn't his story. Avien is kind of a chump. This is the story of Amber Jewel, a girl who has only been Chosen as another Chosen one’s wife. Updates Thursday, & Sunday.

Chronicles of Rathia - The Era of Blood
Welcome to the Chronicles of Rathia. Contained within is a trilogy of stories which are all set in different time periods and with different characters. Each story has its own era from The Era of Blood, The Era of Magic and The Era of Demons. Read along the first in the series which is The Era of Blood where magic is still in an infant stage and where swords can dominate the battle field. In The Era of Blood, you follow along the first main character who had his memories wiped clean except for the most basic things in life. It is up to him to find out how to get his memories back and why they are gone. (If you don't like the story layout or characters, I suggest either just reading through or wait till the next one in the series is being released. With how it's set up, you can enjoy any of the three in the trilogy but of course reading in order will help give a better understanding of the world.) (Side authors note - I'm currently reworking the first several chapters as they are lacklustre to myself since they were originally a draft and not concrete at first. This note will stay here until all the chapters I wanted to fix up are done.)
