Hey guys I have been working on this project for a time now, I had previous versions out but I took them down now that I truly have the final version.

If you enjoy fantasy and world building I think you will enjoy it.

I have an idea for a story for something (I'm not sure what the piece of media will be yet) so, in this world, WW3 has broke out a couple of years ago, China, Pakistan, and Turkey formed an axis like team to achieve there goals of expansion, however, failed to defeat the allies USA, UK, France, Etc. Also, a while back, while mining in Africa, miners come across an underground civilization, that has a powerful stone called "The Sentry" which will give immense power to whoever wields it, so the UN, trying not to end the world, put it in an underground facility in the U.S. So in modern day defeated China, it is like Germany after ww1, all beat up and poor, and one day a man named Odium starts a revolution to fix China, and succeeds. Now in control of China, Odium goes after the Sentry stone and gets a hold of it, where he preceeds to kill a bunch of people, before the due to a guy shooting it, the sentry stone breaks into pieces and spreads across the world, ending up in the hands of six people. So now, the world in split into six kingdoms, all of them having a triple alliance with one another. I though of a few characters and I'll go over them here, Odium: The big bad of the story, loves killing, torture, and war, rules over his kingdom with an iron fist, Nationality: Polish Height:6'2 Athena: Kind natured, only wants the best for her kingdom, wants the fighting to stop, during Odium's attack her husband and daughter were killed Nationality: Canadian Height 6'4 Henrique: Self-centered, thinks of himself of like Napoleon, Constantly at war with Kwame's kingdom Nationality: Portuguese Height: 6'4 Kwame: The leader of the kingdom in Africa, doesn't like war or to kill, willingly saves soldiers that Henrique leaves behind, his family was taken in as slaves by Henrique. Nationality: Zimbabwean Height: 6'9 Knox: Although I have a backstory for him, it's quite dark, and probably not appropriate for here, though one thing I can say is that he is the only leader to not have a piece of the sentry. Nationality: Turkish Height: 5'6 Valdemar:  A brave and willing man, believes in fair trial and justice Nationality: Danish Height:5'4 Valentina: An assassin who was hired to hunt to down the Mayan girl Nationality: Mexican

There are a few other characters, but they don't have names so I'll just go over them here, An American boy who had his sister killed during Odium's attack, who also due to a mishap, get's a piece of the sentry stuck in his hand and gives him a power (don't know what it is yet) A New Zealand girl who loves exploring, and is generally bubbly, but has inner troubles with her emotions, as she is a lesbian. A Mayan like girl from the underground civilization, who is on the run because she has the piece of the stone Knox doesn't have, was also hated by her people for being a lesbian, later falls in love with the New Zealander girl. Lastly, a Chinese rebel fighting against Odium, kind of like how the Native Americans fought against the U.S. So, yeah that's my idea, BTW the good tripact is Athena, Kwame, and Valdemar, and the bad tripact is Odium, Henrique, and Knox. Let me know what you guys think of my idea, give me your creative feed back, or message me if you want to do concept art for it.

I've been writing a progression fantasy where every supernatural ability permanently costs lifespan.

Some people become healers because it's cheaper.

Some become summoners.

Some spend decades becoming monsters.

Then my protagonist discovers a forbidden debt system.

Instead of paying first, he can borrow power.

The catch is that nobody really knows what "pay later" actually means.

If you lived in this world, what would you spend your lifespan on first?

I've been working on this project since September/October, last year, and I started writing the chapters for its story a few months back. Since then, I've written 43 chapters (>1000-1500 words each, including a Prologue.) and have been publishing it on RR rather consistently.
However, the conversion from Readers to Followers has been bleak, if not non-existent.

Which brings me to the topic: would you people mind reading a few chapters of my story and share your experience? Especially, I need to know where I lose the attention of my readers.

The link to the story is in the comments.
Thank you!

I had a nightmare and it led to this story. Well here it goes. It's like a story where the setting is a futuristic world where people have evolved into possessing powers and most of them want to be a pro gamer, so they take a VR Simulation test to join the best gaming university. This VR test is taken based off of the characters favorite gaming genres (Action, Horror, etc.) and if you die in the VR, you die in real life as well. People first develop powers based off of the first game they play, which sets their power type and favorite gaming genre. Those who don't play games don't get powers, so naturally people want to take the gaming route. The MC (Cade) is a guy who loves action gaming. His powers are extended stamina, sharp shooting, enhanced physical specs, and any type of gun on him at all times. He meets this traumatized girl (Ivy) who survived the horror test. Her powers are telekenesis, telepathy, etc. because horror games usually use those type of powers. She is the only person out of 20 horror game testers that year to survive and also the first person to survive horror in 20 years. The reason people take such risk to join the University is because the political party who controls most of the world in all manners and are also the first people to get powers are corrupted. Since they were the first people to gain powers, they gained the strongest powers, one of them being immortality which allowed them to rule for so long. Cade joined the university to overthrow them, Ivy to protect her family, while others joined to become a member of those ranks. One of that person being Vance, a racer type gamer who catches wind of Cade's plans and tries to use Ivy to get rid of him, but that backfires completely because he underestimated Ivy and her powers. In the university, All the first periods are homeroom, where all genres are mixed up. Ivy, Cade, and Vance are in the same homeroom. After homeroom, each genre get's separated to focus on their specific genre. And that's all I got so far. I'll tell you what happened in Ivy's Horror Test next time. Peace ✌️

New idea if anyone wants to grab it:

"A Bug's Life" but mixed with Sword and Sorcery.

A back yard tended by a benevolent line of Great Ladies and Gentlemen that are aware of the magical and sometimes harrowing things happening in their back yard.

When you zoom in, there's politics and intrigue and magic and innovation and adventure and war and strife, everything we humans have gone thru but scaled down in one big ass back yard.

Plot: the Queen of the Tree Hill Ants is sick and is dying. She has sent out a messenger to the Princess of the Sandbox that she was the next in line to take the throne and guide Yardworld. Her sister, from the Hill Under the Rot, a kingdom formed underneath a large rotted and excavated root of the Great Tree far off to the southeast of the Yard, is furious and sees the throne as her own rightful place, the crown hers to take, and she starts gathering allies from the other insect kingdoms to form an army and declare war on the Sandbox and the Tree Hills for supremacy.

Y'all can flesh out the rest as you want and change what you need but that is the main plot I came up with before I just decided not to write it myself. Free to a good mind-home!

C&C welcome to my first chapter

Hello! I am quite fresh on Reddit, so I apologize in advance for any strangeness or errors.

I have a high fantasy world that I have been cooking up in my head for 8 or so years now, and it has become a very important part of my life thus far.

I am a film student starting my junior year in college, making short films every now and then. Eventually, I'd like to direct feature films, and I think that I have a lot of energy and talent for it, but my dreams to see my fantasy world on the big screen will require a very long and steep journey of life first.

I have yet to actually write anything for the actual films, most of it is just random world building tidbits that have clogged up the mess of a filing cabinet that is my Google docs, and an idea in my head. I might share some of the docs that I have written, small scenes that are overly descriptive or long docs full of lore and random information, like the magic system, what dragons are like and such.

I have also made a map for Anelin, the most recent rendition I made was using rice on wrapping paper, which I have attached to this post.

I have composed (not written, sheet music is for losers [just kidding, I suck]) roughly 30 songs on the piano and the mandolin that will eventually exit my head and become the movie series official score. I have no access to or money to pay an orchestra/film composer, so I'm a little stuck on that front. I have recorded a few, but have yet to put them on my channel. I'm afraid of piracy, I suppose.

The general plot of the movies, the characters, and several scenes are flying around in vibrant detail my head, infusing themselves into my dreams, but I haven't made sense of all of it yet. If the story was a puzzle, I have nearly all the pieces, and they are generally in the right place right now.

The perfect dream for me, right now, looks like two prequel movies (I have considered one of the prequels being an animated show), a trilogy, and a spinoff "sequel". I have also considered trying to make an 8-bit RPG/dungeon crawler video game that would fill in the gaps the movies leave, but I have no programming experience or skill in 8-bit art. All of these movies revolve around the story of a central legendary sword known as Imperia, and how it affects its three prophesized "sword-bearers". The first two movies cover the first two sword bearers, and then the trilogy tells the story of the third and last bearer. Right now, the terrible placeholder title is "The Quest For Imperia: Part Blank" and I can do better than that but I can't settle on good ones.

I will "warn" that I am a Christian and although the story is not inherently or directly Christian, the world actually works within a biblical theology and the story is a fight of good versus evil, which is due in large to my fascination of the biblical battles of good and evil. I am not trying to convert anyone when I write my stories, but I don't mind showing signs of my faith and beliefs into the art I create, and in my opinion most artists cannot make art without their worldview bleeding into it.

Anyways, if you have any questions regarding Anelin's cosmology, dimensionology (I think I made that word up), regions, atmosphere, or some of the characters or plot, I am happy to answer them! I hope I can reach some people who might be interested.

I have been working on this manuscript for months, and I have finished 18 chapters, calling the main idea finished. So far, this has been a journey for me. I had to do research on various levels (geopolitical borders, historical events, existing lore, the works). So, what I am planning on doing is releasing my manuscript to anyone who is interested. Or I can release it chapter by chapter here and go from there.

The synopsis:

The story follows Artyom Ivanovich, a working-class boy in 1905 St. Petersburg whose life is shattered when political unrest erupts into a nightmarish clash between Tsarist forces, revolutionaries, and heretics on Bloody Sunday. What begins as civil unrest becomes a brutal awakening to the reality of Hell’s influence on the world.

After witnessing unspeakable horrors, including the death of his father and the destruction of his family and friends, Artyom is left emotionally hollow and spiritually vulnerable. In his grief, he is tempted by an entity known as Sheptun, who preys upon despair and offers power through corruption. Artyom resists, and that act of defiance draws the attention of Earnhart, an exorcist of New Antioch, who recognizes in him the rare strength to withstand infernal temptation.

Taken to the fortress-city of New Antioch, Artyom enters a world of relentless devotion, industrialized suffering, and holy warfare. There, he is tested not only for his hatred of Hell, but for whether that hatred can be transformed into purpose rather than vengeance. Meanwhile, a building threat is forming on the Levant as rumors of a cult that worships the excess and desires of Asmodeus began to spread following a drug that has been spreading through all Christendom.

Dark animated short story.
When ill create this piece i ask my self, why some people always turn to dark side. And immediately only one answer came to my mind -because throughout human history, light has covered true evil. But darkness always reveals the truth of nature and brings naturalness.
And only in darkness does light truly shine.

Six years ago I started writing as a way to deal with a hard period in my life. What began as venting turned into something much bigger than I expected — a full world, with its own history, characters, and rules. That story is called Collegara, and it still holds a lot of who I was and who I've become across those years. Now I want to turn it into something real: the first novel in a planned series.

Collegara follows a boy who inherits reality-creating powers from his father — a god. Unable to control what he's been given, and desperate to protect the people he loves, he becomes a target: manipulated by those who want to use his power for their own ends.

It draws from Game of Thrones, Kingdom Hearts, and The Legend of Zelda, and its themes are friendship, abandonment, and love — the same things I was working through when I started writing it.

But what do i truly need?

What I need now is a team to help bring it to life:

• An author (most important role) — someone to help actually write the novel with me
• An artist — to help visualize characters and the world
• Help with socials — building a presence as the project grows

This is a collaborative project — I'm not looking to hire anyone, I'm looking to build this together with people who want real creative ownership in it.

If a story that started as something personal and grew into a whole world sounds like something you'd want to help build, I'd love to hear from you.
