Hello friends,

I have a favor to ask of you all which is to assess my readers’ preferences for the next story I work on. Over the course of Imperator’s Path, I‘ve spent time developing many different ideas, but I would like to hear your input on a few of them. All of these would have some amount of LitRPG in them, but outside of that they vary in genre and setting.

-

Story Concept A: An alien spy arrives on Earth only to realize that in between his departure and arrival superheroes have developed amongst humanity. Against his wishes, he finds himself drawn into the life of a hero.

Features superheroes, a modern Earth setting, and a lighter tone than Imperator’s Path.

-

Story Concept B: The Holy Grail was broken and the cycle of reincarnation for the key figures of Arthurian legend was forever damaged. 500 years later, the isle of Brytannia is ruled by monstrous dragons and is embroiled in constant war between the dragons’ mechanized knights.

Features Arthurian mythos, an alternate timeline and geography for Earth, and supernatural mechas.

-

Story Concept C: Mankind lives in networks of caverns large enough to hold entire cities. To rise to the surface is to risk the ire of hostile entities from the sky, to delve too deep into the earth may awaken ancient horrors from their slumber.

Features dungeons, radioactive golems, slight elements of Mesopotamian myth.

-

Story Concept D: A young wizard framed for a crime makes a deal with the magical authorities to avoid criminal charges. Under this deal he must join an academy of sorcery as a student and discover the identity of the prophesized Chosen One without alerting any of the other major wizarding factions.

Features a masquerade setting, a magical academy, and power struggles.

Attached will be a poll link so that readers without accounts can be heard, but feel free to explain your choices in the comments.
