So, time for a new type of blog posting, of sorts. I mean, I have wanted to write something like this for a time, but I've just not had the time to sit down and actually write it for this platform. This, of course, is about writing, whether it be in a graphical form (manga, visual novels) or just a pure text format (whether it's an actual book, a short story on a website, or anything else that might fit this). I might not have a whole lot to say, but I want to at least put down my thoughts before I forget them!
Title: The Demon Tower
Author: Gaelin Kyle Adkins
Ok, so this is a bit of a bragging post with the inaugural post, but who cares? So, I'll start with a bit of introduction behind the story. The prologue starts off introducing the town of Nazris in the middle of the night. Five individuals are introduced lightly, each going through their own things that are keeping them up. A strange occurrence envelopes the town, and by the following morning, the entire town is noted as "missing".
The story itself revolves around the location where Nazris once stood and the efforts of a group of adventurers, calling themselves Etude, as they attempt to stop whatever dark magic is being used at the spot. So far, I've only released the prologue and the first three chapters, but I have more planned and I have quite the inspirational drive to see it finished.
The idea behind the story came from a friend's work on a game, by himself, using RPGMaker VX Ace. The game is/was called "Tower of 1000 Floors", but it really didn't have much of a story to it. I asked him why and he couldn't really give me much of a reason other than not having the need for one. The game itself worked off of you exploring each floor, gathering gold and items, to better yourself before facing off the big bad boss on the top floor (the end of the game). The game offered the chance to just jump right up to the last floor, since apparently the more floors you conquer, the harder the boss gets. I told him I wanted to do a fan-fiction of sorts for the game and just went along with using everything given to me to make it the best I could. I haven't got much feedback from him so far, so I'm hoping it turns out well enough to be enjoyed by the initial inspiration.
I've asked for express permission to use his intellectual property as I see fit in the story, but the only real items of that field would pertain to the final boss and the tower itself. Everything else is separate from that and, so, I am writing it with that in mind and it is keeping my interest strong. I'm currently (I'd say) about halfway with the fifth chapter, and it should start rolling down-hill (progressively) in interest from there as I start to fill in the characters as they appear. So far, the likes of Etude have only just started to scratch the lower floors of the tower!
It'd be classified as a work of fantasy fiction with fan-fiction slightly added in there (I mean, technically, it is fan-fiction but so long as the game is never released, it would still be a work of fantasy more-so). It's being released on Tablo when the chapters are completed, so if you want to give it a look and read some of it, by all means, please do so:

You may find that I have some other works on there as well, not to mention the fact that it is a writing site in general so you might find other things of interest there to read instead or afterwards. Either way, I think I'm done gushing about this. Thanks for reading, until next time! (Turn the page. >)
