《Kingdom of Monsters: La Guardia》Update: THEME SONG
Advertisement
I like to attach songs to characters, I can't always find the best song for the character but nontheless I try. Today I will name the songs which I attached to some of the characters.
Seresa: These Boot Are Made For Walkin' by Nancy Sinatra
The song is quite charming I think it fits her playful and sly nature quite well. If she really were in a relationship, you can bet she could get her partner to give her what she wants without him ever noticing. Seresa is a unqiue charcter to me that I haven't been able to show enough of. I want to give her a shining moment like many of the characters in the story. I just haven't been able to devolop them yet.
Sia: The Pretender by The Foo Fighters
Sia was a bit difficult to find a good song that matches her but I finally setteled with the Preteneder even though I don't think its the perfect song for her. This song in particular partially matches her peronslity and a bit of her back story that has yet to be revealed. As of now I've written more about her peaceful side but once we get to her bacstory, I hope to show more of who she is and why she is.
Terra: Punching Bag by Cage The Elephant
Terra's song is a bit more on the nose. She experienced a bad romantic relationship when she was rather young and it has haunted her ever since. She wants revenge and hates all mortals not just humans. I haven't shown much of her quite yet but I'm sure people will like her character a bit more when they learn more about her.
Eveline: Like A Vampire by Catrien Maxwell
When I write charcters I don't always have everything in mind for their character, I just write words and their personlity appears. I basically have guidlines in my head that I allow my mind to write to paper. Eveline started out a bit differtntly when I first thought of her, which believe it or not, was at the begining of the story, she was one of the first characters I had in mind along with Sia. She is elegant and beautiful with a touch of insanity. This is because of her history and because what had happened to her shortly before meeting our main cast.

These songs are meant to repesent the strongest aspects of their personlity, not the entierty of it. Which is why Scitus gets two songs.
one for the beginning of the story and one for right now.
Scitus (begining): Cold Cold Cold by Cage The Elephant
Scitus was dead inside at the begining of the story, his life completly revolved around playing Kingdom Domination. when he beat the game, he was contemplating suicide, he really had nothing. this song I think works well in explaing his state of mind.
Scitus (Current): Beautiful Times by Owl City
as time as gone on and has gotten to know the monsters, he has gotten better, he truly cares about his citzens and wants to uplift them though he knows it won't be easy, at the same time he feels that there are dark clouds looming over him and his people. He won't allow them to suffer again, no matter the consequences.
the last song is a not about a character but rather the entire kingdom, if this story ever got a show, I would want this to be the intro song.
Theme song: Through Fire And Flames by Dragon Force
this I think repesents how the people in Scitus's kingdom feel as whole, They will fight on until they can fly free and break the cages that the world has made for them. They will no longer live in fear, they will no longer cower, they will rise and meet their enemies in battle until they have earned the respect of the world and be allowed to exist as a kingdom once more.

Modern Age Online Book 1
(Book Two on Amazon here) (Book Three on Amazon Here) Both books should be available through Kindle Unlimited. It is the Future. The realm of online video game entertainment has grown, creating vast and wonderous worlds for people to explore and enjoy. This is the story of Kaleb, a young gamer, and his adventures in the latest Super-Hero Virtual reality MMO: Modern Age Online. Join him as he takes on villains (both player and NPC), joins forces with other player heroes, and even deals with some of the bureaucracy of being a hero in a perfect virtual recreation of the world. No cheats, no guides, just one newbie Super-Hero against the forces of villainy in his new virtual home. Notes: 1.) While not my first time writing, this is my first time throwing anything I've written at the tender mercies of the internet. All criticisms welcome. 2.) Just to inform people early: There is no evil corporation looking to control the world with VR, there is no Krueger-esque "if you die in the game, you die for real.", and this isn't a story of some OP harem-loving god of the system. Nothing wrong with those stories this just isn't one. This is a simple story about a guy playing a game and finally 3.) This story is extremely rough, i did very little editing, this is just me gauging interest really. oh, and English is my 1st language, if for some reason you find that important. Note 2) from now on Book 1 will exist in its entirety on Royal Road while Books 2 and 3 (and any others) will be released on Amazon. I want to thank everyone who has been reading and has taken this weird journey with me. I will continue to write in my spare time and will always be thankful to Royal Road for giving me a space to be creative. Thank you to everyone.

A Gray and Grey world
What if adventurers are not as they seemed. In the tales of old, adventurers were the ones who vanquished the demons and beasts from the land, the ones who sealed the great evil away, the ones who saved the world from destruction and kept peace within the lands. But, what if that wasn't really what happened? What if adventurers are selfish, narcissicistic, and- depending on who you ask- evil. What if they weren't the paragons of good that their history books show. As they say, it is the victors that write history. In this world, this broken world, the true nature of adventurers will be told, unveiled to the masses. In this world, where history has yet to be written, the true heroes will be shown. Or- at least, that's what should've happened. But then again- heroes, villains-... everything is relative to the one who sees it. Everything changes depending on who's perspective... Perhaps the heroes of this story- may not be the heroes that you might think. Author : Hello everyone! I just want you all to know that this is a first time story. I'm the one who's doing the draft, editing, proofreading and revisioning! I do aim to have a chapter up every week or so, thus I look forward to showing everyone the world I created!Editor : ^ Proof Reader : ^

A Suspicious Lack of Horses
World: The framework of reality. The rules which govern interaction. The dimensions within which existence takes place. Soul: Mind. The source of thought, of consciousness. The means by which reality is observed. Body: Form. The means by which one interacts with the World. The substance from which reality is formed. Spirit: Life. The connection between Soul and Body. The anchor to the World. What happens when these foundational forces are given human form? When they're confronted with the truths of human nature, of human frailty? When the evils of reality are thrown in their face and the question is asked: What are you going to do about it? Why did anyone ever think they'd need horses? I upload ~30k word chunks at the beginning of every month, rotating through each character in order. I have at least four extra chunks on my Patreon. I suggest setting your reading preferences to indent and 30 pt paragraph spacing for the best reading experience.
