《The Wizard Division》The cunning plan
Advertisement
Here we are again, mere days later. I know. I half expected myself to disappear for another few months as well.
Who knows, maybe the world will end and I'll get out of this bind.
I'm being facetious, I truly do enjoy writing for you all. On that note, here is my spectacular and magnificent CUNNING PLAN.
Basically, Just continuing on was out the window, because I wasn't into that option, and because it heartily lost the vote.
Now we come to the close nature of the other two options. On the advice, and helpful insights of the comments from last time, I have come to a conclusion. Dun dun duuuuuuun.
Basically, I'm going to continue the OTHER work I had going, which only had two chapters.
I just edited and updated chapter one, because now I actually know how to use things like spacing and paragraph breaks. I'll have chapter 2 edited and up, in 3 or so days, after which I am hoping for a schedule of twice a week, subject to change. Don't worry, it has big chapters.
Now, that being said, many of you are here exclusively for Wizard Division, which I can't fault you for.
Therefore, it is my current plan over the next few months to get into the flow of writing again, and once I have, begin Wizard Division over.
Now what does that actually entail, you ask, intrepid reader that you are. Well, two comments really caught my eye. First, was that ideas are a dime a dozen. The second was that Re-reading the same plot is a bit annoying.
I wholeheartedly agree with both sentiments.
I realized, however, that being a web serial, I don't necessarily have to take on the traditional Book length plot structure. So. When Wizard Division returns, and It will, It will do so in more the form of a Cop Serial.

You know, Bad guy of the week type, maybe 5-10 or more chapters per 'case'. I think this is a better opportunity to show off the unique world I want to build, and it also allows me to screw up occasionally without too much issue.
Didn't like the case, or I screwed the pooch on the pacing or whatnot, I can finish that case, and fix any problems for the next one.
So, look out for that, if/when you're interested.
Same characters, at least mostly, but the entire set of Events so far are basically scrubbed.
Charlie, Nox, and a couple other key characters will of course still show up, and act pretty much the same, but the first case, and what transpires throughout, will be completely different.
Finally, the link to my other series or I suppose my New Series, since it was only seen by a hundred or two people, is in the post chapter author note. Feel no pressure to read, or like it. I think it's pretty neat though.

Synergy
Dear Inspector, Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player. Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign? Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good. Sincerely,Randel, the Mad Painter What to expect from Synergy: --> Some GameLit elements are presented subversively. If you want the protagonist to “play the game” properly, this might not be the story for you.--> No filler chapters; the story's structure is already plotted out. It's going to have six story arcs.--> Character development happens slowly, over many chapters. Don't expect a perfect protagonist right off the bat.--> Some romance, but it will never be the main focus.--> Humor and dark elements in equal measure, but not to the extent that I’d label this story as “Comedy” or “Grimdark”. ... and lots and lots of Author's Notes. See you on the other side of the portal!

Demons Don't Lie
Algier, average human and recent convict, has committed the gravest sin of all: demon slaying. His fate? To participate in the Culling, a battle-royale style tournament that’s televised live to the world, where all the worst criminals go to die. As with all tournaments, a prize is on the line. If Algier survives, he can have any wish granted by the Marquises, the new rulers of Earth following the demons’ invasion. However, there’s little hope for survival in a tournament designed to have demons do the work of the executioner, especially for a human. Demons are stronger, faster, wiser, and more talented than the average human, and, despite his crime, Algier is no demon hunter. Mentally defeated before the tournament even begins, Algier is torn between becoming another demon’s points and fighting on in his dead mother’s legacy. But should he choose to fight, there is one advantage that Algier has that can tip the odds in his favour: Demons don’t lie, but humans can. How to read this story Demons Don't Lie is written from the perspective of an unreliable (lying) narrator. There are many inconsistencies within the story which are placed there intentionally. It's up to the reader to decide what is the truth and what is the lie. Promotion Full quality cover image

Dishonor
In the center of a nuclear wasteland lay the last vestiges of humanity, the City, as its numerous inhabitants called it. To leave its protective wall was certain death. Humanity was not meant to fit within the confines of a walled city. But, with a strict caste system and the threat of being sent to the lowest level of the caste system for even the smallest crime, the City has survived. Liv was born to the highest caste, Most Honored. After her father's treason and subsequent execution, her family was cast into the prison that the lowest caste, the Dishonored, lived in. Tortured and forced to work as a slave for every bite to eat, Liv desired revenge against the King that made her life a living hell and the City that held her captive. With a forced smile and a polite bow, Liv would destroy the overpopulated last bastion of humanity. Releases weekly on Tuesdays at 12:45 Eastern US Time.

A little patriotic spirit to keep the otherworldly apparitions that only she can see from driving her mad. Or that was the plan, anyway. At least it's safe to say the repercussions of living near so much insanity isn't what drives her to then join an eldritch creature in the form of a young girl and her dark elf companion on a quest to save the world.
