A Hero's Odyssey

A great war is about to erupt, the greatest the world has ever seen since the Trojan war. As the Greek city states are about to be engulfed in civil war, one man has to undertake a great journey. A dangerous road lies ahead, but you must take it, for the odyssey of one will decide the fate of many. This story is loosely based on the famous Greek epic: the Odyssey, by Homer. Note that this is more of a story than a game, I guess, and depending on your choices it can be either very long or very short.

Rise of a Hero

The people of Azrya live in fear. An evil group of wizards, that call themselves The Black Veil, hold the country in an iron grip. Their leader: Sarces, singlehandedly killed the previous king and his royal guards. When all hope is lost, a small light appears in the darkness. A hero is born ... I know that this isn't a masterpiece, but this just my first story and I'm not a native speaker of English so advice or comments are welcomed.

Welcome to the Big Little History Quiz, the best quiz about history from all over the world!

Redemption

unpublished

'Redemption' is the sequel to my story 'A Hero's Odyssey'. Though you have saved Greece from ruin you yourself are not yet saved. Poseidon, the god of the sea, will not rest until you have paid the ultimate price for the blinding of his son, Polyphemos. The rest of the immortal gods are trying trying to protect you, but they cannot keep the wrath of the earthshaking Poseidon at bay forever. Your only hope is to make an offering to the sea god. An offering made of the powerful objects of mythology. However, these myths are just stories, moralities from a long time a go, aren't they? A dangerous road lies ahead of you, but will you reach the end? Reading my previous story ('A Hero's Odyssey') is advised, yet not required to understand this story.

The sequel to my history quiz

The Raven

unpublished

Inspired by the famous poem by Edgar Allan Poe, 'The Raven' tells the sad and dreadful tale of a man torn apart by his love for his late wife. The past does not rest easily, however, and the arrival of a shadowy messenger unlocks memories the heart desperately tries to forget. This is also my first attempt at making a story with the advanced editor ;)

Vox Populi, Vox Dei

unpublished

The kingdom of Ibera stands on the brink of civil war. The cries for rebellion are more and more often heard in the streets. Now the king has died, leaving his two sons to battle for the throne. You, a commoner, are caught in the middle.

I'll just add a bunch of mustaches ;)

As the title says, I'm writing a new story. It's a semi-horror story based on the poem 'The Raven' by Edgar Allen Poe. You play the 'protagonist' who is still in mourning for his late wife. One night, staying up late while reading a book, strange things are occurring in your house as a shadowy messenger arrives. I've not written very much so far, but I'd like to know what you think of this concept. If you'd like I could send you the link to the story (though I think I've got preview enabled).

Welcome Stratego, nice to have another history buff around on the site ;)

Well, it was only rejected because of the FWW clean-out, so I think there's a good chance this will be implemented. I support this suggestion too btw :)

Well, I wouldn't publish it, because you won't be able to remove the comments and ratings when you've completed your story. You can however post the link to your story here so we'll be able to read it, even though it isn't finished.

Happens to me too, I can't access any of the categories.

Don't know if this has been reported already, but when I try to update my profile text and press 'save', I get this error message: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e57' String or binary data would be truncated. /My/profile.asp, line 80 And of course, my changes aren't saved ;)

Welcome to the site! ;) As for your story: I'd post it under either 'edutainment' or 'fantasy', depending on how much you stick to the original story. I've posted my own semi-myth story (shameless advertising) under 'edutainment'.

I hope so :)
