12th December
At this hour, I'm supposed to be at school. Well, in fact, I'm supposed to be at my funeral.
In the coffin. Nowhere else.
What kind of dead isn’t at their funeral? Well…
Me.
But right now, I'm way too busy to attend my own funeral, I’m focused on creating new patterns for my army.
The problem with dwarfs is the amount of beer you need. So I recently had one of my characters create a beer factory just above my secret base. You’ll never guess how easy it is to fake administrative processes once the owner is willing to keep his mout
This is one of the chapters I feel were more than marginally improved by the rewriting. Back when I wrote it, I was a highschooler and had no clue about the economy and how it works. I only had average knowledge. Some things that were there were different, but simply weren’t possible. I thought companies only were required to report their global finances to the state once a year, when in truth it’s more complicated than that. There weren’t any shell companies or tricks to get money out as declared salaries in the original version. I just assumed in 2018 that it was fine for the one owning the company to get any money in and out of the company as they wanted without scrutiny. Also yes, sorry I had to add some Tanya propaganda. The occasion was too great, we’re talking BOTH economy and war.

Everyone has valid input, especially when they were written to be better than me. Don't misunderstand, they aren't that great, but I wrote my greatest as their lowest, which made their greatest, or even average, way higher than what I could imagine. This is the advantage of the method I found of writing characters through story. You can set u

All those who tried over the last few centuries before were either killed or invaded right after. It basically means I’m strong enough to not be worth antagonizing. The leader of the world! Now should be the time for me to write my autobiography. After all, what leader would forget to write their autobiography? You never know, if I die, I want to ensu

I'm 6 years younger than my brother, who's 16. It's morning, and I am having my breakfast while watching TV. Today, on the news, they are again talking about the calamity… Oh, and a forest fire. I sigh… I still have to go to school. Doom is coming but life never changes, huh? […] All of my high school teachers are in the same sect. These zealots believe in some kind of holy tome. They believe in some kind of holy magic.
Keywords: Sacred texts/Vikings/Isolated How I caused the Calamity isn’t complicated at all. I am just regularly presented with a choice by the two devils, and I was presented with a choice over which I preferred killing half of humanity. Today, I tried faking my sleep, but it didn't work. Right: So, kid, yesterday wasn't really funny, you know? Left: Yeah, why choose the forest fire? You could have chosen to bring back Vikings! Right: So, today, you have an interesting choice! Left: Either you become the holy sect's saint… Right: Either you become a totally isolated shut-in! Let's see, on one hand, I don'
For the anecdote, at the time, I was tired of writing sad shit, and I saw the direction it was going to take, so I ended it extremely early, as I wanted to quickly go to something else. At least it was how I saw it, but in fact, I think it was an early sign of the burnout I'd have soon after, which had me stopping volume 9 after only a chapter and a half, and globally going into hiatus for 2 years. Even to me, volume 8 felt extremely rushed despite having good ideas, so I feel really bad about it. I think it's the first volume I will write a continuation of, as it is the most rushed. I don’t remember what D.D. stands for, tho.

For a young woman like her, born in a rich family and used to being treated like a princess, these people were more disgusting than cockroaches. -Hey! I'm talking to you! He seemed to be drunk. Drunken people are dangerous. Especially for women. She accelerated. The man kept following her.
