<p> [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] </p> <p> [participant in <strong> #NaNoWriMo </strong> ] </p> <p> <strong> Preface: </strong> </p> <p> This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. </p> <p> Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! </p> <p> </p> <p> <strong> Chasing sun, napping softly: </strong> </p> <p> Cultivation/Xianxia genre. </p> <p> Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. </p> <p> We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. </p> <p> In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. </p> <p> Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. </p> <p> The challenges for myself with this story: </p> <p> Writing in first person. </p> <p> Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. </p> <p> </p> <p> <strong> The cost of heroism: </strong> </p> <p> A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. </p> <p> The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. </p> <p> Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. </p> <p> </p> <p> Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. </p> <p> People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. </p> <p> </p> <p> The challenges for myself with this story: </p> <p> Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. </p> <p> Writing fight scenes. </p> <p> Showing different mental states. </p> <p> Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. </p> <p> </p> <p> <strong> Who will be the next powerhouse? : </strong> </p> <p> A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. </p> <p> Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. </p> <p> The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. </p> <p> Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. </p> <p> </p> <p> The challenges for myself with this story: </p> <p> A softer tone for storytelling. </p> <p> Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. </p> <p> A different try at slice of life story. </p> <p> </p> <p> <strong> I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : </strong> </p> <p> Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. </p> <p> The challenges for myself with this story: </p> <p> Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes </p> <p> Writing in first person. </p> <p> Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. </p> <p> Different type of humor. </p>
