On the run and out of options!
Taewon's journey up Olympus Tower is at an end, but his hosts aren't too eager to see him leave! To escape Axion's clutches, he'll have to risk it all!
You know what they say about desperate times...
Silver Reign, Chapter Thirty-Nine: "Evasion" is out now!
Sic semper tyrannis!
Facing the monster at the top of it all, Taewon is alone, vastly outgunned and at his wit's end! After all it's taken to climb Olympus Tower, is this where his journey ends?
Silver Reign, Chapter Thirty-Eight: "Retribution" is out now!
Also a friendly reminder that chapters published on Wattpad are written weeks, if not months in advance, and do not represent or relate to any current events! :-)
"An amnesiac. A grieving husband. A gravekeeper. A scholar. A governor. Five people, five stories, all with one terrible connection.
In thirty seconds, the most important man in the city will die. Their stories will shape the fate of this great city—or damn it forever."
"City of Threads" is a 17,000 word novella I have just completed over the past month, and submitted to the Writers of the Future competition!
I am happy to announce that it is now in the running, and will soon be uploaded to Wattpad in its entirety.
It was a fun month of break from writing Silver Reign, which will continue as usual on Friday.
Face to face with the monster behind the curtain!
Taewon Park has come a long way in the past six months, and further still to reach his first true enemy—the trillionaire Ezekiel Stoat!
Now facing the man himself, he may have bitten off far more than he can chew.
They say money can't buy happiness... but Taewon might be the one paying the ultimate price!
Silver Reign Chapter 37: "Confrontation", is out now!
Exscuse me can you give me a chance to share my short story to build an audience, I’m writing a Mecha.
Yes, they’re experimental short stories that take place after a planned first novel. I’m planning to release each of them until they’re a little more revised. Following two characters, mech pilot’s enduring in-universe scenarios. The first two are focused on my anti-villian/anti-hero Astra in a conflicting romantic entanglement and another featuring her attack on a space station in the way of her outfit’s survival against nearly impossible odds. Andromeda my hero character struggling under a broken system that demands her duty to protect the human race from the Tiamat during a rescue operation to save fellow marines and a shore leave that explores her team’s struggle to move on from lingering traumatic events burnt out from the rotation of combat that they tour through across the galaxy. This is an introduction to a Sci-Fi Universe, set in a galaxy in a constant of internal or external conflict from those that demand humanity’s extinction and humanity fighting among itself.
@The_Metal_Wizard Always happy to help out a fellow author! If you want to make a proper post advertising your mech story, you can leave it here on my page and I won't take it down like I do all the bot advertisements. What's your story about?
Silver Reign, Chapter Thirty-Six: "Recollection" is out now.
I don't have a flashy intro for this one, because it doesn't feel appropriate. "Recollection" is probably one of the darker chapters I've ever written, so it wouldn't feel right.
Rest assured, though, Taewon Park and his allies won't let something so monstrous go unpunished.
Unfamiliar territory... and a ticking clock!
With neither time nor numbers on his side, Taewon Park forges ahead, climbing ever closer to his enemy at the top of Olympus Tower.
Little does he know, he's not alone.
You know what they say about the "best-laid plans..."
Silver Reign Chapter Thirty-Five: "Infiltration" is out now!
Deep in the lion's den!
In a land of enemies and operating without the armoured hull of a mech to keep him safe, Taewon begins his journey up Olympus Tower!
But in a place where "privacy" is as meaningless a word as "taxes" to the elite, just how far will he make it undetected?
Silver Reign, Chapter Thirty-Four: "Ascension", is out now!
Six months have passed.
It's the beginning of a brave new world, and Taewon Park finds himself at the core of it!
Welcome to the decay at the heart of America.
Welcome to the sterile, crushing Corporate Zones.
Welcome to New Washington, and the beginning of our second act!
Silver Reign, Act Two, Chapter Thirty-Three, "Absolution", is out now!
Silver Reign, Chapter Thirty-Two: "Burn" is out!
With that, we come to the end of Act One of the novel! It's been one hell of a journey to get here, and "Burn" closes off this section of the story with one of my favorite chapters ever
Time for a proper update on the novel, for the dozen or so if y'all who actually read these little postings.
I'm incredibly excited for Act Two, because it uses a six-month timeskip to expand the world. The next few chapters are some of the best I've ever written, and I can't wait for you all to see them!
However...
Moving forward, it must be said that things may be a little different, schedule-wise. Truth be told, finding time to write has been hard for a few months now, and so my chapter output for Act Two isn't nearly at the same speed as Act One.
As of the current moment, I have a backlog of exactly seven finished but unpublished chapters, but that number will likely decrease as weekly releases catch up to my current position.
However, with the conclusion of those chapters, I may need to switch to biweekly or unscheduled releases, simply because life has gotten in the way recently.
We'll have to wait and see.
Last, but certainly not least, is a realization I had. In its current state as a draft at 39 chapters, Silver Reign sits at roughly 100,000 words in length. In comparison, the entirety of the Amazon edition of Iron Empire was roughly 170,000 words. And Silver Reign is only about halfway finished, if that.
All this to say, Silver Reign is gonna be a two-parter. Acts one and two will occupy the first book, and the disastrous consequences of act three will make up the following novel.
I'm not certain if that means another, different name for one of the books, or if I'm just gonna publish "Silver Reign Part One" and "Silver Reign Part Two". To be determined.
Anyhow, that's my end of act update! Thank you to everyone who's stuck with Silver Reign so far.
