《Universe Online》Volume 1 PDF Previews - Now looking for PR's!
Advertisement
Okay guys, here's the deal.
I'm currently proofreading and editing Volume 1 of UO, and I just got done with the prologue. 14 pages is actually quite a bit of work to read over and edit, as well as changing the table over to something Google Drive actually recognizes.
Thankfully Google Drive tables are carried over properly when published as a PDF.
So for those of you who want to check out the edited prologue, here's a link:
UO Vol. 1 Prologue PDF
You guys will have to download it, sadly. I couldn't find a good hoster that'd let online viewing.
I hope you enjoy it though. I ended up changing quite a few things and streamlining it a bit. It actually turned out to be slightly longer than the unedited version. Heh.
Feel free to leave messages, comments, questions, etc. here in this thread! I'll be posting a few more links as I get the chapters done!

Someone made the suggestion that I advertise for proofreaders who might be interested in tearing through UO and fixing all the nagging little things that get on their nerves, and I'm inclined to agree for the simple fact that proofreading these volumes is going to be just as big an undertaking as originally writing them were.
I'm an author, not a proofreader or editor. Heh.
So if any of you are interested, hit me up with a forum message and I'll give you a link to my google drive where I have everything set up.
I cannot promise any sort of pay though, besides a big THANK YOU on the dedication page. Every person who helps will get their name on it. It is the least I could do.
So just let me know!

Marrow
Marrow was old... older than me or you. Older than the nation he lived in. And older than anyone he knew. Which is not surprising, because he did not know anyone else. He had been sitting, or perhaps leaning is the more apt expression, in a closet for many, many years, and had done nothing but stare. But eating, or rather chewing, a spider opened up another world to him. A world with a voice that was talking to him - to HIM! Marrow did not get what the voice was saying, but that was secondary at this point. And Marrow started to feel restless. Nuff said. If you like a sometimes quirky skeleton as the main character and want to ride along for its coming of age, or perhaps rather coming of sapience story... give it a shot. It is a litrpg context with skills, levels, heroes and monsters... and a skeleton. Not sure yet how fast the skeleton will level... we'll have to wait and see. As a disclaimer... this is my secondary novel... my main story is ongoing and most of my time is dedicated to that. As such, new chapters will, at first, be rather infrequent and irregular. If things go well, I may shift more attention to the story, but we shall see how things go.

He was punished by Gaya, the primary god of creation, to reincarnate to the world of mortals. He vows to ascend to the world of the gods and get his revenge. This is my first take on eastern fantasy.
