Storygames
This is a story about an artificer making his way through the world. Making choices who shape who he is and who he will become. With even his motives shifting based on his choices.
Authors Note:
This is an entry for EndMaster's prompt contest.
The prompt was, "This story’s protagonist is an artificer, magical blacksmith, or creator of magical weapons. You can translate this prompt to a sci-fi equivalent if you want."
I managed to make this story into a complete product with all the content I wanted in the time given, but I didn't have time to polish the prose much. Please leave any feedback you have. And just for fun make sure to include which of the nine epilogues you got or your favorite if you read multiple.
This story is about a paladin who is on a quest to investigate an unkown evil out west, joined by a lighthearted mercanary.
Authors note: This story was made in a few days for Corgi's Lords of the land 2 contest. Not really proud of it, but it is what it is. Please leave any feedback you have in the reviews because while I know time could've improved the prose, the plot seems to be lacking something that I'm not sure of.

I mean they are the same "genre" after all.

I just reached 3k. Only 2 pages in though. I have a decent idea where it's going and it should be decently able to be constrained, but I mean 10k was already an optimistic target for me to be able to write before the deadline, and the story is kind of seemingly like a 15-20k kind of thing now. But I'm really hoping I can write like mad this weekend and then spend the remaining time playing with the sentence level of it, that'd be really cool. I give myself maybe 40% odds of submitting something?
This is the first completely free weekend I've had in... well I don't know how long actually. Typically on the weekend I go to my host family's and do stuff, which is fun but not relaxing if you know what I mean and also isn't free time, and I had homework due every day including weekends. But this weekend I stay at the dorm with no homework so hopefully I can just write a ton.

Just like all the rest of the internet, the answer is too perverse for the young minds on this site, the answer almost as desturbing as Love SICK or Gay and DepressedER!!!

I will admit, that was part of it. The other part was if he was actually willing to use AI he has no place on the site anyway.
Either way, I’ll take this L as long as it’s known I don’t endorse using fucking AI lmao.

What part of you thinks I was genuinely suggesting that he should use Chatgpt? Obviously his writing is better than the dogshit that AI generates. Anything is, including the scrawlings of 11 year olds, which Tig is objectively better than. The point of my post was to tell him in no uncertain terms that he should put down the pen and grab a belt. If he does that, then he does, and if he actually would be willing to give away his creativity to get approval from strangers on the internet, then I want nothing to do with him in the first place.
The best outcome is obviously him telling me to fuck off and continuing to write anyway. The fact you'd take my suggestion to use AI as a suggestion rather than an insult is disgusting, and I hope I can change your view of me to one where you'd know I'd never genuinely suggest that. But my suggestion was not harmful, because any person with any true creative ambition would never allow a fucking soulless machine to write their story.

I think it's only fair that the contest is extended another month, he joined so late after all, he should get a fair shot! An extension is the only way!

@ThatIndianGuy
I have a suggestion for you.
https://chatgpt.com/
It outputs actual shit, souless writing. Hell I prefer the scrawlings of 11 year olds over it. But both of those are better than you, at least the barely readable pieces of shit they produce have hope of improvement, unlike whatever the fuck is the output of you dragging your dick and balls up and down the keyboard.
Side note, he's an alt, obviously. Wish I could say it was Flutter, but flutter would have an insane 100k thing to show for this rambling lmao.
Just reread Eternal. I have thoughts.

Reading Death Song after Necromancer and getting the payoff was one of the best expierences I've had reading a story on this site. It's amazing.
