'The cataclysm was without warning, only a young man with an ancient heritage was aware; the human race must adapt to survive.'
I would like some feedback on a revised first page of a story I attempted to write 8 years ago. I was 16 when I first wrote it. I am now nearly 25.
It's clear to me, that, back then, I did not have a very good grasp of creative writing, and I'm not entirely sure It's any better today. But I am hoping that those 8 extra years of reading story, after story has given some subconscious experience.
Please read the first few paragraphs of the first draft then my revised first page.

"The world around her swam with mottled light. How long had she been fighting?" So...in sixth grade we took this computer-skills class. Our final test was to write a short story in Microsoft Word. My story ended up fleshing out into the trilogy I am working on and planning to publish at somepoint in my life, but I realized how incredible my writing skill has improved between just the two or three years. So, I decided to re-write the original sequence of a short story, same plot and characters, just with current skill. Comments and feedback are appreciated, please enjoy!Complete![Transmigrated As An Adventuring Prince?![DISCONTINUED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/279898602-256-k277557.jpg)
Transmigrated As An Adventuring Prince?![DISCONTINUED]
I'm Yamato Kusuo! A former 19 year old college student. I was told by some sketchy gods I went into a coma. Don't ask me I don't remember why.. I was given a chance to transmigrate to another world to avoid boredom while my body lays still. I, like any other lucky bored teenager, agreed and was knocked into sleep right after. But now I'm told I'm a prince?! An adventuring prince?! Wait where am I?! Oi don't touch me! Tristan: (°ー°〃) I was just going to ask if your joining dinner.. Nathaniel: Let him be! That excuse of an adventurer got 'hurt'. Whitford : Goodness! Just eat before it gets cold. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ What the fuck?! What kind of party did I join?! SURPRISE SURPRISE!! I DECIDED I'D PUBLISH A STORY BEFORE I LOST INTEREST REAL QUICK! So! This might have slow updates because well... I'm a lazy ass person. When I publish this there might be another 4 chapters already ready to shoot but I'm still lazy :P Oh! And I update every two weeks so twice a month! We'll meet again ;))))) Disconrinued due to lost of motivation. Might be rewritten.Complete
Weigh Out Way-In
There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)Complete
The Marionetteʼs Puppeteer (Volume 1)
I don't know if I died or not, but the moment I regained my consciousness, I was already standing on a field full of grass and surrounded by trees. "W-what is that...?" A screen was floating in front of me. 「 Welcome, new adventurer! 」 "Adventur...rer?" But..... I'm so small! My body is the size of a 9 year old kid! And I don't even know what the hell happened to me. After I read some information on the screen, I was amazed that the world I was in was like a VRMMORPG. Magic exists and so does the level. "Huh?" When I look at my status, I'm not neither a mage that cast magic nor a swordsman that wields a sword, instead.... I'm a puppeteer! Will I survive in this new world despite knowing that I don't have a place to stay or food to eat? Note: This is more likely in Fantasy. Magic goes bruh broom brr. Also, there is some terms in this stories that is hard to understand like skills, ultimate skill, so read the prologue for that one. Anyways give me a vote y'all Started Serializing on October 9, 2022 and finished: December 28, 2022 [Volume 1]Complete

Hacking the Game Didn't Go as Intended [Part One] (Discontinued)
As a player, imagine having the power to reset your stat points at will - one moment, a warrior cleaving through enemies; the next, a mage wielding devastating spells; then an assassin vanishing into the shadows. No limitations. No weaknesses. Just absolute dominance in any scenario. You would be unstoppable. A god. The cost? To escape a life of poverty, Daisuke attempted to hack the world's first VRMMORPG, Sehreneti Online. But things take an unexpected turn and he's transmigrated into the body of a newborn NPC - stranded in one of the most lawless, cutthroat regions of the game where ambition and cruelty reign. Fasten your seatbelt and follow Daisuke as he carves out his own piece of paradise in a broken world and forges his name into legend. What to expect: » Slow start, leading to an immensely satisfying power-up » Dark & Brutal Beginnings » Unlocks abilities at chapter 33 & the atmosphere becomes a bit more vanilla » Weak To Strong Male MC » Fast Leveling + Rare Magical Items » Stats + Hidden Abilities + LitRPG System » Explosions, Special-Grade Monsters, & Epic Battles![The Eyes of Fate [Beta Chapters]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/184345628-256-k551872.jpg)
The Eyes of Fate [Beta Chapters]
Humans think they have gained control over this world, turning a blind and nieve eye to the past. The elves are gone, The Unicorns vanished, Mermaids, Fairies, and goblins are thought to be extinct. Now all that remains are the beasts of this world. Dragons have been a part of human mythology for centuries, along with another species, Demons. Now known as Krylocks, an ancient warlord threatens the very existence of all things pure, and two girls stand in his way. The Innocent, and The Shadow. So far I have only completed the first 5 chapters, the rest I will be working on while this is out. I'm releasing this so early for input, just to see what you guys think and what I should change. Oh yeah, and this is my first book ever "Published", so please bear with me. This will be the first book in a two-part epic[genre] novel series, or least that's what I'm planning.Complete
Shapeless Hero
Identity crisis? What's that? ---- An earthling's soul was born into an incompatible, human body. Their muscles misbehaved, their skin and body felt like a rigid shell, and their weak constitution left little options for any activities outside of paperwork, books and anything on a screen at home. Then the divine beings tried to correct the mistake and removed the mismatched soul from its unfitting body, slinging it to a distant world with a new body to control. The human flesh-prison replaced with the unlimited options of a shapeshifter, the soul has now a magic-filled world to explore. Grow fur for a mountain hike, grow gills and fins for a deep dive. It's time to catch up on decades worth of missed travels and activities. But who wants to deal with the flesh-craving predators called shapeshifters? Another global purge could start, if the freshly transferred soul shows its abilities too much. ---- The rankings are a mystery to me - especially after this story made it to No. 1 under the shapeshifter tag (and others). Welcome to fantasy amateur hours! This is my first time writing that kind of novel. Hopefully there's a bit of improvement along the way. Feel free to tell me what works or not! Occasionally drowning in irl-work, so chapters will be published semi-regularly, whenever I find some time to write. (Usually updated at least once per week.) If it wasn't obvious already: Cover art made by yours truly.
