《Acheron》Afterward
Advertisement
Thank you for reading Acheron. I hope you enjoyed it. I originally meant it to be novel length, but it turned out a little shorter than expected. I believe this was my third writing project, if memory serves me right.
Technically this is a space opera sci-fi story, but in the edit I added a few lines about magic and mages, to make it a low fantasy instead, since that’s what I’m interested in writing. The tone of this is a lot different from most my other pieces—mainly in the level of profanity that I used. I was going more for a sort of rough and tough, rated R type setting. I don’t know how well I hit that mark, though.
If you would like to read anything else by me, I have several completed projects here on Royal Road. Wakiagaru is a full 436 pages. And if you think Acheron moves fast, wait until you read that! It’s a much heavier fantasy setting with a lot of Japanese themes.
Also, I’ve just uploaded the prologue to Blackwood Company. It’s a grimdark sword and sorcery novel with both low fantasy and high fantasy elements. If you’re interested, check it out and give it a follow. I’ll be releasing chapters on that every day until its completion. It’s about 25% longer than this story.
Thanks for reading.

Awakening: Prodigy
The Awakening changed the face of reality itself. A cataclysm of dimensional proportions, the event unleashed all manner of demonic beasts upon the world of man and left humanity's scattered survivors trapped in an endless battle for survival. That's a battle Council Academy all-star Seth Wright learned the hard way, barely surviving his first encounter with demonic entities. Now aware of the peril mankind faces, he's desperate to learn what he must to defeat them - but the only person willing to help him is veteran demon hunter Astral Daamon, and only so she can pursue her own investigation into corruption within the walls of the Council Academy. But what they uncover together is far more terrifying than mere conspiracy - challenging everything Seth thought he knew about fighting demons. Beneath the foundations of the academy itself, an ancient and malevolent evil is stirring from its slumber - and unless Seth is willing to sacrifice what he believes could protect humanity from annihilation, this demon will rise and devour everyone he cares about. Seth is being forced to weigh the lives of his classmates against the fate of humanity. When the moment comes, will he make the right decision?

Shadows in the Dawn Mist
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - Winner November 2020 When a young woman is lured back to her homeland for the opportunity of a life time, she must face old fears. But never would she think that facing up to her past would change everything. Is History written by the victors, or by someone or something else...? *** I started writing this a few years ago and eventually fell out of love with it. I never finished it and my newer books are being written in different writing style, and genre with a more planned process. I decided to revisit it for the writathon and found that it wasn't as hopeless as I'd come to think. Hopefully, I've improved as a writer since them so the consistency may vary. Its been good to revisit and analyse my writing which I feel used to have some clunky and obvious dialogue which I'm trying to fix. This will always be my first novel and I hope, with a little exposure, I may come to like it again. Thanks for reading!
