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.

A couple of comments I'd like to make. Mainly just late night deranged ramblings I guess.
First I wanted to say that from a United States perspective your curricula sounds strange to me. Over here I don't believe people really study law itself with like cases in their undegraduate degree. The closest thing would be like legal studies, but most people wanting to study law I believe study political science as their undergraduate degree and then study the actual law in dedicated law school, which would be a 3 year terminal degree in law, mostly used by lawyers. And I haven't heard of it being combined with buisness. I just thought your degree sounded interesting, because I'm not aware of something like it in the US. Unless you are in a post graduate program, which I assumed not.
I think as a new university student there's a tendancy to just lose a bunch of time. If you have 4, normal length classes in a day, on paper it looks like 3 hours and 40 minutes. Which isn't a lot. But those classes are at least seperated by 15 minutes, adding an entire hour to it. And maybe one is after lunch, so lunch adds an hour. And then maybe two of the classes are seperated by 30 minutes instead of 15 (And even though you could be using this 30 minute block to read storygames, no one is actually being productive here). And very easily a typical day running from 8am to 11:40am ends up really being from 8am to 1:40pm, in this example. And at least for me most of my learning isn't in the classroom (something I need to work on), but instead I typically learn by reviewing supplemental resoruces, which means most of the in class time in just an obligation and I have to spend lots of out of class time learning the content that most just listen to lecture for.
But none of this is an excuse at all. I mean you have time, if not an hour before bed. Mystic has some great advice here, I particularly like point 3. I really like the term "Productivity Porn" for the motivation content. It's really fun to watch imo, but it isn't typically super useful. Personally I think time not intentionally spent is time wasted. I value hanging out with friends, and am perfectly fine putting off school work for that, which if I was more extroverted might be a problem. I don't have any problem watching a youtube video that is specfically something I want to watch. The main problem comes when you're bored and want to do something, so you open youtube and scroll youtube shorts or click on random videos or shit. That is time spent for the sake of spending time, for filling a void.

Yeah and Carl Jung is a famous psychologist too. Honestly from reading this thread it's starting to feel like the lines between author, phillospher, and psychologist are getting pretty blurred. Most of the famous authors that had an impact can be called phillosphers in some way, like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. And then people like Carl Jung kind of feel like phillosphers, and Nietzsche kind of feels like a psychologist. Without getting into flutter's orginal point and bringing religon and mythology into this, which also seems closely related here.

I haven't read much phillosphy, though I plan to (damn I need to continue that plato thread), but it strikes me as strange to dismiss these massive names. I mean I always assumed that people complaining about Freud were just oversimplifiying or taking his worst takes. And Nietzsche is one of the most famous phillosphers there is, dismissing him seems crazy to me.
I mean you seem to be really well read on this stuff, but wouldn't you agree that all the big names, even Fraud and Nietsche, are incredibly important to read? I mean there's a reason that they're so well known.

I am surpised by people who write multiple reviews a day. I mean it takes me a few hours to read most stories in the 20-40k word range, and that's the brunt of it. Writing a review of your thoughts doesn't really take me that long. I pretty much always want to read every word of a story before reviewing it, maybe others just read to an ending and that's how they do it so fast. Or they write reviews of stories they read a long time ago like ben, though I'm not sure if he was lying about that lol.
Props to the people who do write reviews, there's nothing better as an author than someone talking about your work, even if it's mostly negative.
