Little Teaser Chapter of Knights of Runascore

Leave a reply

I already announced it on Facebook last week, but here is a little teaser of Knights of Runascore. If you fear to spoil yourself, no worries, this story features one of the “side” characters. It’s an extra chapter from his POV. While I was organizing some old files I discovered this chapter which was written before I put KoR on hold to write Hidden GMs Destiny. Seeing that it doesn’t spoil the story and also goes along well with Gods Ordeal, I decided to post it as a little teaser~

That being said… This character is my favourite character from KoR and can without a doubt be found on my “top 10 most favourite (own) characters list”, because he’s way too hilarious. (Though at the same time I truly wonder how I came up with such a character… *facepalms*)

BUT before you run off and start reading, I have to share a few informations about him, the great Gustav, so you can fully enjoy the story!

 

Let me first describe Gustavs appearance. He’s a giant (over 30 m tall) black colored prawn, has three pairs of black feathered wings, his (main) two eyes are red and his whole body is covered with hundreds (if not thousands) of white colored (additional) eyes.

He’s one of the Necromancer Gods of the world of KoR, but he has the least followers, because only a few people believe that “something like that” exists, even more so that there is a “god” with such a strange appearance. Only his own followers, who are seen as a strange sect even among other Necromancers, believe his existence and are avid admirers of his greatness (*cough, cough* If you read the first story of Gods Ordeal… Valderas followers are nothing compared to the avid Gustav sect members in regards of being totally devoted to their god. And one of the MCs is a Gustav follower. *cough, cough*).

Author Note: He’s a huge narcissist and has an amazing ability to MISUNDERSTAND human behaviour! For example… if people faint, scream in terror or start to run for their life (just from witnessing his ugly and strange appearance), he strictly believes they are enamoured with his marvellous beauty….

Well, this should be enough info to fully enjoy the chapter! Please always keep his appearance in mind while reading for the best effect~

 

Gustav POV extra chapter “My Beautiful Self”.

(If you already liked the chicken of Hidden GMs Destiny, I’m quite sure you’ll love Gustav! Now… I wonder if he gains more followers??! *shiver*)

 

I’ll add this chapter to the Oneshot and KoR page, so it’s easier to find. Next up will be a Gods Ordeal story(still being proofread as of this moment).

Hidden GMs Destiny Chapter 5 part 2

As previously announced on my facebook page, here is the second part of chapter 5~ This is also the first time that Keruna reveals his characters stats.

And because I enjoy doing polls (totally not visible) here is another one! This time you can vote for your favourite character working for the Night Dragon Corporation. You have one vote for this poll. Next time I make a poll for your favourite character of Kerunas guild as well as a poll for your favourite chapter (at the end of the lich arc).

It’s really hard for me to decide on just one… I like them all but I ended up choosing Kyle…o-o

 

As usual I’ll combine part 1 and 2 into a single page after a weeks time.

Chapter 5 Part 2

Complete Chapter 5

Next up will be another Gods Ordeal Story and a little Teaser chapter of Knights of Runascore.

 

Not even after one day after I released chapter 5 part 1 of Hidden GMs Destiny I went ahead and…. got myself a ventilator! (Finally!) In combination with my japanese fan I was able to combat the heat wave and survived this major crisis~ (<–in continuation from the last post)

Hidden GMs Destiny Chapter 5 part 1

Here is the first part of chapter 5 of Hidden GMs Destiny~

Because the cover won’t be revealed yet, but I still wanted to add at least a picture… I went ahead and uhmm…experimented a bit with Photoshop (aka the author had fun playing around PS while recovering from the surgery)! So from now on I’ll use the picture, you can see in this post, on the Hidden GM page and for the future release announcement posts (at least until the lich arc is over…then I either switch it out completly with a new one or edit it a bit to fit the next arc better). When volume 1 (german version) will be up for purchase the cover will replace this picture on the Hidden GM page.

I also changed  the domain to selkinnovel.com (the old one will automatically redirect you to the new one).

Furthermore now that more chapters are released, I went ahead and added a  previous and next chapter link at the bottom of every released chapter to improve the reading experience. It should be more convenient for new readers this way!^^

Regarding the last poll result: 80% of all votes was for “keep it as is” so with this overwhelming majority there will be no changes. So in case you want to write a comment and make sure that it won’t get deleted later on please either comment on the release post or wait for when the whole of ch 5 is posted on a single page.

It’s really hot in Germany right now (anyone who also has a room or flat under the roof probably can feel my pain!). My flat has no air conditioner so I’m melting… literally… I really should buy an (electric) fan before I dry up. Tomorrow it’ll be even hotter (40°C; my flat probably will be around 45+…). Right now I use a japanese fan to keep me alive..x.x” Like this one here. Just with fishes as the motive. I really wouldn’t know what to do without it~ *fans herself like crazy while writing ‘one hand style’*

Gods Ordeal Story 1

I’m feeling a lot better now and slowly get back to work while I still focus on recovering.

As previously promised, here is one of the oneshot chapters as a tiny apology for the absence of updates. Hidden GMs Destiny chapter 5 is currently being proofread (it’s around 17 pages long) and I hope I can release it as soon as possible.

Gods Ordeal – Story 1: The God of Destructions Solicitude

Status update

There weren’t many updates for Hidden GMs Destiny in may because I’m injured right now and had to visit the surgeon. I’m still recovering but I hope that I can at least post the next chapter within this month. Because of the long time with no updates I decided to upload another oneshot, or better a series of oneshots (the chapters are all connected but each tells it’s own story), as an apology. Unlike Hidden GMs Destiny the chapters will be released irregulary though to not affect the Hidden GMs releases.

 

Meanwhile I have another poll regarding the future releases of Hidden GMs Destiny. It will be open until I release part 2 of the next chapter. This time you can vote for one of two options and it mainly affects the readers who read the part versions instead of the whole chapter and write comments.

Until now I released the chapters in parts and later on uploaded the whole chapter, while deleting the parts after a few days. Sadly, this will also remove the comments on these pages (and I feel really bad over this!!) because Worpress don’t seem to have an option to move them to a new page (aka the whole chapter versions). And because I feel bad about deleting comments I want you, as the readers, to decide if you prefer using the old way for posting updates, which is more convenient for the readers who read the parts and don’t wait for the full chapter versions, or if you prefer keeping the comments and have a bit more scrolling inconvenience.

 

Let me introduce you to the two options and their pro and cons.

1. Keep it as it is

Pro: It’s easier to continue reading from the point where you left off at the previous released part // no time wasted to search

Con: Comments will disappear // If you want your comment to stay you either have to post on the release post or wait until the whole chapter is released to post // Author has to manually remove the parts and feels bad about the lost comments

 

2. Change it to “highlight it with colour”

If I use this way, I’ll create tha page for the whole chapter, post the first part there and will colour-highlight the last sentence of the first part when I post the second part of the chapter, so you know where you left off last time when you read.

Pro: All comments will stay where they belong to and you have part 1+2 comments on a single page // Author don’t have to agonize about lost comments written by the awesome readers

Con: Extra effort/scrolling to search for the coloured sentence (=inconvenient) <–especially if you read on your mobile phone

Hidden GMs Destiny Chapter 4 part 3+Future spanish releases

Today I have some good news for all spanish readers: Hidden GMs Destiny (webnovel version) will also be translated into spanish! I’ll post more informations when the prologue is fully translated.

You can find chapter 4 part 3 here.

Full chapter link.

It’s the last part of this chapter. As usual, I’ll merge the parts into the whole chapter within the next few days and remove the single parts. This should give everyone who already read part 1 and 2 enough time to read the last part without looking for where they stopped reading.

Hidden GMs Destiny Chapter 4 part 2

As previously on facebook announced, here’s the next part of chapter 4. This part is the shortest from the three (the next one will be the longest).

The poll is also closed now and here are the results:

The Chicken was the most popular (40% of all votes!) and won once more against Keruna~ Though Keruna seems to slowly get stronger (35%) and maybe has a chance in the next poll for the first place. 5% each of the votes went to Maeda, Keradis and the lich twins. Fieja and Sion are sharing the fourth place with 4% each, followed by Kaje with 2%.

I’m really looking forward to the next favourite character poll now. Though with increasing characters and appearing boss monsters as well as NPCs, I’ll devide it into PCs and NPCs.

Chapter 4 part 2.
