Hey all!
Sorry for the rough releases of new drafts. I've not been in a good mindset of late due to many things.
The biggest one being that my partner is pregnant with kiddo number two.
If things go well, she should be giving birth sometime during July. But I fear that since I'm the, stay at home parent, it will dramatically cut into my writing time for who knows how long. And that fear of not knowing what my life schedule is going to be during this time makes me depressed that it will strip away one of my loves. Creating these stories and sharing it with you all.
Maybe I'm overthinking things and it will be fine. But knowing how much of my time is already being taken up with one kid is tough enough and it's a bit of a reset before they are old enough before they get sent off to school where I could get my time back.
Anyways, that's what's been gnawing at me these past months.
I'm working on chapter 339 hopefully I'll have it out by tomorrow. It'll be focusing on Leandra trying to impress the Major Noblewomen before Rya enters the party. From there Rianna will run interference blocking Leandra from confronting Rya as she makes the rounds interacting with mostly the daughters of the nobles. At some point when Leandra tries to finally confront Rya and aims to make a big show and spread the lie that Rya murdered her son, Alaric will make an appearance in the women's only party to help Leandra. It might not go well for them.
I've been putting off editing chapter 30 on Scribblehub and I plan on finally cleaning that up. I haven't created any new drafts because I posted that longer draft But I think there's multiple chapters in one. And I don't want to expand or continue after where I left off on that draft because I think I need to do major rewrites on it and I don't think it will be the same. I want to get the story moving again where Grace tries to make a run for it during the morning and runs into a group of bandits that notice the smoke and fires coming from the Village of Ars.
My original thought was to have Grace get attacked by these bandits who were looking to pillage what's left of the village. Laila and Lilith dispatch the bandits and Chase has to corrupt Grace to save her from dying, making her a Void Priestess as Chase gets a new option with his corruption skill, due to the Divinity Points he gained from the Goddess Sera. After that the group is pretty much set and takes care of the Dead in Ars before they send off on their journey for Chase to get stronger so he can protect himself and everyone he cares about from the other Demon Lords.
Final chapters of Vol. 1 will end with Sera being summoned back to the Heavens Hub (Not the actual name) where the Primordials are sleeping. The generational gods will be talking about what is going on in different parts of the world while one of the gods shows up to this gathering corrupt by the Demon Lord of War. He will be twisted and deformed as a battle breaks out. All the gods who are war based will try to take the the corrupted God down but fail. Sera who's been on the sidelines decides to aid them only to destroy him with ease causing the council of gods to become suspicious of her.
After that Vol.2 will focus on Chase and company sorta helping each village and town they come to with monster problems, corrupt authorities, and Chase's best way to farm LP by becoming Cupid and secretly helping couples get together. He finds out by accident that if he uses his demonic powers to help people fall in love he gets Love Points off of them.
At some point in the story Chase will become a Baron of a realm as he grows in power.
All right so that's what I got planned for the future that's if life doesn't disrupt it and I'll try to get in a good mind set to get three drafts out a week until kiddo number two comes out.
Appreciate you all, and you are what helps drive me to be better. And I want to say I thank you for the support.
Cheers
Micheal Kennedy
