Alteran, a superpower nation unlike the world has ever witnessed. Proper, rule-following, like a civilized nation should be.
Magda, a territory threatening to rival Alteran in both might and colonization of the New World. Supreme Leader Fargrave (spit), ever a constant presence at the High King's heel.
Harri'ar, natives of the New World, standing a full head taller than the average civilized man. Mere beasts in a human-shaped body.
The old ways are dying; the new are upon us.

This story is dedicated to Jay in response to their constructive feedback left on Unbroken. Thank you, truly, for being the inspiration behind the title. Enjoy.
Solitary is the life of those who carry iron and deal in lead. Their trail is littered with the fallen, both friend and foe alike. A man seeks rest, his body exhausted from the journey, his mind never finding stillness. Evil grows in the western frontier, a place of adventure and danger. And where those things exist, so too does the gunslinger.

Strength of body, strength of will. Both are required. A man's freedom depends on his willingness to act, to rise against those who would place him in chains. Small choices add up, building towards differing outcomes. In the moment, one does not often know the implications of his actions. Inevitably, all is revealed.
Author's Note:
There are several "cinematic" links in the story. You will have the option to view multiple events happening simultaneously. While not adding to the branching, they do offer deeper insight into the story.

Taking place during the Golden Age of Piracy, assume command of The Sanguine as you plunder and search for treasure in the profitable Caribbean. In this swashbuckling fantasy, you embark on a dangerous quest to an ancient Aztec civilization. Peril lies behind every tree, stone, and indigenous spear.

It's got heartache, hurt, and happy times.
This is True Life, not a love story for the kids.
Author's Note:
You'll find the storygame takes place in a familiar city. That's Sterling, baby, and don't you fuckin forget it; she may be a hot mess, but she's my hot mess. Fortunately for you sick freaks, there's enough to go around. Enjoy. Just be sure to wash up afterward.
1852 - The Territory of New Mexico
The hunt has taken me to to the outer edges of civilization. Out here, lawlessness abides. There are no godly folk. Only heathen. The inner demon in me can relate to the call of anarchy. No rules, being bound by nothing; it sounds like freedom. In the end, that "freedom" is simply the self-indulgent, care-free living that is a poison upon humanity. If killing a man will save society from the infection of lawlessness, then I will gladly do what is necessary.
You eye the journal at your lap. The freshly written ink expands and bleeds to the perfect width of the quill. Satisfied that it won't smear, you shut the book and toss it aside. The meager fire at your feet does little to warm your body, but its original use was already completed. The frail, thin-boned squirrel did little to satisfy your hunger. Still, it would keep you alive until the next meal. You pull the leather waterskin from your pack to gauge how much longer it would last. With a gentle shake, you estimate it'll last a couple more days with strict rationing.
The road is lonely. In a former life, you dreamed about wandering the world without any responsibility or burdens. The reality of the road's harsh living conditions were nothing like the trigger-happy romanticized versions of the lawless west. Here there are no home-cooked meals, no warm body to lie next to yours. It's only you and the necessary task. Someone had to die.
You gaze up at the night sky. It seemed foreign at first. Without city lights to disorient the constellations, it looked like an entirely new sky. If you traveled at a good pace, you'd reach Canyon Diablo by midday. You pull the bone-carved pipe from your pack and light a match against the sole of your foot. You lie down on your bedroll, breathe in the relaxing tobacco, and drift off to sleep...
Author's Note:
The Wild West is a dangerous place. Be sure to make good use of that "back" button. I've hidden three achievements throughout the story. Yes, your total score will show if you've discovered them or not. The highest score possible is an 8/8.

8/28/19 Update: Fixed the symbols appearing in the description
There is no escaping our nature. It simply exists. The voice within me, the one that causes me to commit terrible deeds, burns a low ember. Still, it remains, always present, always looking for fuel to burn. It wants to escape. I feel its lust. It wants to devour. This day is no different. I must battle the darkness within.
Author's note:
In various sections, you will be given the option to view a simultaneous event happening in the story. While not directly affecting you, the reader's path, they may create a more cinematic feel to the story.

Writing to a song on repeat? That's some real serial killer stuff. I run 1-2 albums on repeat, start to finish, for each story. It's a good way to track time time too since each is roughly an hour.
Heavenspire used two Staind albums:
1. Break the Cycle
2. Staind
Alter Bridge is the other band I'll primarily listen to for fantasy writing, rotating between 1-2 albums, start to finish. Blackbird may or may not have been the inspiration for the cleverly-titled Blackbirds storygame.
Sterling and the other degenerate storygames (Rockstar, Degenerate, True Life, etc.) used redneck rock. Music that's basically propaganda for Budweiser and Marlboros and no-ass blondes. Perfect to set the mood.

Potter? I hardly know 'er! Reading list. on 12/30/2024 6:42:08 PM
The Silver Chair feels like the most complete story of the series. Honestly, it would be cool to see an expanded version spanning several hundred pages. Maybe that's a job for Lewis.ai.

I remember you'd been referencing it when Stephen King is mentioned. If only I listened sooner.
Potter? I hardly know 'er! Reading list. on 12/30/2024 6:37:05 PM
I liked the first year best. Each subsequent, it seemed to go off the rails a little more. Funny, I just wanted to slip in the comic book stuff, but that's capturing attention. I actually got my hands on a copy of Long Halloween, and it's so good. I'm also a few into chapters into Court of Owls. Writing-wise, I'm amazed by the dialogue and internal monologues. There's no room for words that don't add value. Something I hope to apply to future storygames.

It's my fourth year posting, and all still remain on Reading Corner's first page. Hello? Is anyone here? The year is 2024, and I am the last surviving member in the forgotten corner of CYS. One day they may discover my body...and my reading lists.
As before, all ratings are objectively subject to my personal enjoyment.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, J.K. Rowling – 9/10
I'm not sure what I'll do next year. Somehow Harry Potter has made it into my last four years of book reading. To be fair (and less gay), it's my first time reading the series. After hating the first one, I decided to finish the rest to really shit on them (shit with credentials, so to speak). Unfortunately, I really liked them.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, J.K. Rowling – 9/10
See above.
A Haunting in Venice, Agatha Christie – 6/10
Ah, the famed Agatha and detective Hercule Poirot. I picked this up from a CVS because I finished my book packed for work travel. After reading The Silent Patient in 24 hours and knowing of the Agatha Christie influence, I wanted to try one. Besides, the book cover looked badass. Well, you know what they say: never skip leg day, and don't judge a book by its cover. It's written by an old woman for old women...or Hollywood hipsters (in my unprofessional opinion).
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling – 9/10
Certified banger. See above.
Mr. Mercedes, Stephen King – 9/10
Many years ago my life was changed when I picked up a Stephen King book from a free library. It turned out to be the third and final book of the Mr. Mercedes trilogy. Now, many years later, I finally got around to the first of the series. So good. Who knows, maybe in a few years I'll get around to the second!
Injustice: Gods Among Us, Tom Taylor – 7/10
Does a graphic novel count? It's my damn list, so yes. I read comics for the first time this year. Didn't hate them, even if I felt my attention span slowly draining away. Along with Injustice, I went through the Batman Year Ones. They made me want to write a comic style storygame, but that's Chris's specialty. Maybe he'll publish one from Arkham Asylum.
Seal of God, Chad Williams – 6/10
If you thought I bragged, at least I didn't write an entire book on myself. Not yet anyway. Seal of God is 60% bragging about being a navy seal, 40% about Jesus. Let's just say I got what I paid for here (it was free). Also fun fact, I've worked out with Chad Williams before.
The Magician’s Nephew, C.S. Lewis – 7/10
For you non-religious types, you're missing out by avoiding C.S. Lewis. The man is a certified badass. Funny too, and that's even considering his British-ness. That said, 7/10. The Narnia books vary in enjoyment levels. The first doesn't start out as strong.
Needful Things, Stephen King – 8/10
A book about dealing with the devil. Seriously. A shop opens in town, and it's owned by the devil. The poor people of Maine never stood a chance. Neither did my mind; it was blown away. Another solid King book.
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis – 7/10
They made a movie once. The book was better. The Narnia books get better, I promise.
Patriot Games, Tom Clancy – 8/10
Similiar to picking up an Agatha Christie, Tom Clancy has been on the list for a while now. Shout out to the stranger who put a few copies in the neighborhood free library. While it felt old-timey at times, there was a good amount of suspense and thrills, although it's one of those books that read like the author clearly wants to be their main character. Just like most fantasy writers when their MC gets romanced.
The Horse and His Boy, C.S. Lewis – 7/10
The first few Narnia books especially read like children's books. I know, I know, they are. That doesn't mean they're not subject to my rating system. The Horse and His Boy is a solid addition to the series, despite feeling like a side quest.
Firestarter, Stephen King – 10/10
The only 10/10 on the list. Fun fact, there's a Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty quest named after the book. Highly recommended for anyone to pick up.
Prince Caspian, C.S. Lewis – 7/10
Prince Caspian, the legend himself. It's not a unique prince story, nor is it the best, but it's integral to the Narnia narrative. Caspian is pretty much the Aragorn of Narnia, after all.
Holly, Stephen King – 3/10
Holly is the only Stephen King book that's bad. Somehow King really screwed this one up. It's filled with COVID propaganda, probably another side effect of the vaccine. Fortunately, King's later publishings are back to usual biz.
Voyage of the Dawn Treader, C.S. Lewis – 8/10
Sailing to the end of the world. Sound familiar?
The Book of 5 Rings, Miyamoto Musashi – 8/10
Another read due to scarcity. A free Kindle book picked up while traveling. I learned how to kill my enemies with the sword. My mantis style beat your tiger.
Dune, Frank Herbert – 6/10
Dune reads with the same epicness of the latest movies. It also reads just as slow. It suffers from its length, I think. There's just not enough happening to warrant my copy's 900 pages, certainly not enough to warrant writing a billion more in collection. Call it the Ender effect.
The Silver Chair, C.S. Lewis – 8/10
C.S. Lewis keeps his foot on the gas with The Silver Chair. I liked this a lot better than the finale. It had adventure, action, and twists. When the good guys won (spoiler alert), it felt like a worthwhile accomplishment. Strange how that's not always the case with books.
Dune Messiah, Frank Herbert – 7/10
The second book of the Dune trilogy is the best, in my opinion. The page count is just right. Also, after the sudden ending of Dune, it's nice to discover the state of things. Paul Atreides is a gangster.
The Last Battle, C.S. Lewis – 7/10
A somewhat disappointing ending to the Narnia series. The steady incline of each book fell flat with the finale, probably because the previous two books were so good. The Last Battle feels disjointed from the previous events, and the good guys were so dumb that they almost deserve their injustice. That said, it does wrap up all loose ends, which avoids the cardinal sin of finales.
You Like It Darker, Stephen King – 8/10
A collection of short stories. This book scared me more than any other King read. Was it a horror masterpiece? No. It was the first read after Holly, and I was afraid all subsequent books would be just as bad. King's back, baby.
Christine, Stephen King – 9/10
A car possessed by an evil spirit, vintage King. Somehow King takes a simple idea and wraps intricate storytelling around it. King is king, truly. He's so good that it took me 400 pages to realize the mixture of first and third person POV. Everything flowed so well. He's that damn good.
