Two days passed by fast with Eric just lazing in his bed and watching TV. No one, except for Mak bringing him food, bothered him. His students most probably, hopefully, started to work on their stories and Del was busy as the Demon Lord.
So, Eric had all the time by himself to sort things out again. He gave up on escaping knowing that only death would await him.
"What a pain," Eric sighed as he got out of bed and prepared to go to the second lesson with these demon breeds. Eric, to be honest, really didn't want to see them again, especially not after that, cough Eric still refused to face reality, nightmare.
But Eric had no choices. His choices were as slim and ungrabbable as that one single butt hair that can't be grasped or eliminated no matter what. In other words, Eric's chances were so slippery that their existence couldn't be removed. Basically fucking useless!
What's the use of a fucking chance when, no matter what, it couldn't be taken?
So, that butt hair would forever grace the hole and tickle it. Unnecessary existence yet can't be erased! That's how Eric felt about everything! Nevertheless, Eric still made his way to the ground floor while he with much suave, walked around, his heart anxiously wanted him to look around and see if there wasn't Del and his sons co. Co. referring to the other noble demons.
Co. Completely originated from the same ass the others came from or more like completely unoriginal. Eric was glad he didn't come across any of them but that didn't mean he wouldn't get to see them because... because they were all obediently assembled right in the classroom! What fuckery was this?
A classroom obviously!
"Morning everyone," Eric smiled happily as if he really loved, loved, being a teacher and teaching his wonderful students.
Eric looked at the pissed dipshit, the smug witch, the brazen fiery, the annoyed prickly and sighed. He wanted to read their minds but was too afraid to do so. Why? Isn't it fucking obvious?
"I can see you're all excited and I hope you're working on your stories!" Eric clapped his hands and looked into the unimpressed round.
Only Lyna, Tino and Lav gave warm welcomes, while Fil just roared whatever gibberish he came up with Eric couldn't bother to decipher.
"So to help you with your stories we'll be starting with the basics. The 3 act structure or as I'd like to use the 5 act structure. Does anyone know what this means?" Eric still held the tiniest bit of hope towards these wannabe authors that they knew what the basics of the basics yet absolute requirement of all stories was.
However, he was deeply disappointed, no one knew.
"Does this refer to the body? If so, teacher I have it all," Nadi pointed at herself. From her face, to her boobs and then cough, her back. Eric shook his head and pretended not to understand the implication.
"Ok, I'll-"
"It's this," suddenly Nol spoke up and had an air of elegance around him, "First act- this human became my teacher and I have to accept him, second act- this human turns out to be a vile shitstick I have to defeat, third act after many ordeals I manage to eradicate the personification of a shitpile off this world and become a hero."
When Nol's words echoed in the air, Eric's face blanked. Technically what Nol said wasn't wrong but what he said made Eric want to pick up the table and slap him against the ground for a few times.
You know, just to let him dig with his body his own grave 6ft deep. Eric quickly pushed these thoughts away as he praised Nol warmly, "Yes, that's about it. Every story has a beginning, a middle and an end. That's the basic and a three-act structure elaborates on it. Everyone take notes!"
Funnily, he didn't need to say it twice. These students really wanted to become authors so they were eager to learn what they could. Soak it up like a sponge. Muah- water was knowledge. Yes, sense and logic weren't present. Thank you.
"The 3-act-structure also has different turning points. 1st act beginning- that's where the Inciting Incident happens, basically what happens to the protagonist and sets the story. Then the 1st act turning point- Protagonist has to make a decision which ultimately forces him into his new world. The second act- the middle- It's a point where the protagonist comes to realise his (inner) flaw and the antagonist force and where things are starting to get worse towards the second turning point- the all-or-nothing where the protagonist is at the lowest point but then forces themselves to continue.
The third act is the climax and resolution. The climax is whatever finale your story builds on. This is simply explained and general, understood?" Eric seriously taught them and was met with serious reactions. For once, Eric was glad to see them being so studious.
"Any questions?"
"Teacher, what about the 5-act-structure then?" Tino asked, "Is the structure completely different then?"
"No, it's basically the same but just with more turning points, so to say it helps you navigate the second act, after all the second act- the middle of a story is always the biggest problem.
The five-act structure has Inciting Incident, second turning point, 3rd turning point, Midpoint, 4th turning point, climax and resolution. It's basically 3-act-structure drawn out. Act 1 consist of the inciting incident which is the first turning point in this case. Act 2 is the rising action with the second turning point which, in the 3-act-structure, is the 1st turning point. Act 3 has the 3rd, Midpoint, act 4- 4th turning point which is the second act in the 3-act structure, then finally act 5 with the climax. The 5-act structure helps you to plot better. Does this make sense?"
"Very much so," Lyna excitedly said. This was actually very helpful to all of them but Nol and Van refused to admit while Leon couldn't be bothered to say anything.
However, all hopes were crushed by a simpleton.
 "What are turning points? And acts? I don't understand," Fil started the train of 'me too' 'me too' 'me twice' 'me third' like Fuck!
If you don't understand then don't say it's helpful in the first place! A few veins wanted to pop on Eric's forehead but because his appearance and temper were always impeccable, Eric calmly smiled, "Ok, let's go over everything in detail and ask immediately if you don't understand."

As the most successful editor, beloved by the whole world, touted as the holy angel, Eric dared to offend everyone under heavens and hell!
Nothing new. Only problem is, well... this time... the person he offended is... this handsome, self-proclaimed Demon Lord in his office!

Demon Lord: My son cursed you, so I came to take you away.
Eric: Yeah, no thank you.
Yet the demon lord doesn't take a no.
Eric: Then why did you ask in the first place?
Demon Lord: Because I wanted to charm you.
Eric: You have no charm. Grow a pair of boobs, then come ba-

Next second, Eric finds himself in the Demon World. His punshiment? To make the aspiring demons proper authors. Only then can Eric escape. But the thing is, Eric has to teleport into each story to edit it!

The even bigger problem, the Demon Lord seems to follow him!

"Excuse me, good sir, why the hell are you the final boss in every story that I've to seduce? Please get out of here and do your duty as the Demon Lord! Stop making all the students write about you!"

Yet the biggest problem the whole universe ever had to face, all the demons... seem to want him!

"This is not a breeding ground. Thank you. Please kindly fuck off. My body is not for your lusting entertainment!!!"

The second book in the 'Scum Series'. You don't need to have read the first book to read this but it's a damn, funny, bs book, so read it as well- 'Shameless transmigration' it's called.

Picture doesn't belong to me. Credit to artist.

I'll be keeping this here for a few hours, but I'm going to be redoing the structure of the entire story, I figured separating it into arcs would actually help people (myself mostly because I get lost at which chapter information is in lol) follow the story easier. So ALL chapters will be down as I redo the structure. As of posting this, it's now 8 in the morning, and should probably take me about 30 minutes - 2 hours, being that I have yet to name the arcs. I apologize for any inconvenience! -TheOverdriveHero

Hello! So if you're reading this, you should be a new reader. Before you read, I would like to express how this list of stories work.
Firstly, NONE of this ideas are abandoned. By "abandoned" I mean that this ideas aren't one time. Sure, most of the ideas written in this novel is made-up on the spot. But the earlier chapters are ideas I genuinely wanted in a novel by itself. "The Last Emotion" is a good example. I have attempted to write it into a novel. But I paused it and written it over here. By attempting to write novels, I have noticed that I generally only have a basic start and end in mind. Maybe a little of the process of the story. So writing such novels would be harder since I won't have a path well-designed in my mind. By writing such stories in this novel, I hope it will help me.
Secondly, as mentioned, all the ideas aren't one time. If that Chapter has gained many comments on how well it is, it may prompt me action to actually write a novel of it. I have to be frank though. I can't guarantee the novel's quality. It may turn out better or worse than the short version. I feel like I don't have much motivation to write long-term. But with enough support, I hope I can overcome my lazyness.
Thirdly, I know my sentence structure (By structure, I mean reading fluency) isn't well. And how the Character communicate is a bit lacking. Even though I have read many novels, I don't think I can successfully write a structure thats as good as the other novels I read. And I'm glad. I know that if I can write a good structure in a story, I'm copying the author's style that I have read. By writing much more Chapters in this novel. I hope I can develop my own style to my liking.
Currently, I plan to write a Chapter with possible tags beside their name. Like "The Last Emotion (Magical Realism)". The tags for this novel itself, should focus on the majority of the Chapter's tags I have written.
Theres much more that I should cover, but I don't know. So I will just list my current goals.
Goals for the novel
Write 100 Chapters
Reach 100k Views
Reach 1k Collections
(Make a discord server if I hit it)
Long-Term Goals
Write 300 Chapters
Reach 1 Million Views
Reach 10k Collections
A book cover

A list of compiled stories with quick writing.

Basically each story is like a lengthy description. And each chapter would be on a different story.

Blame the author since he thought of stories but couldn't bother to write the full version.

Side Note: Some of these stories may be made into a actual story if I ever feel motivated and/or if that story is really well liked.

Also, if any story interest you and you can write an entire story with it/similar to it. Feel free to use it. But please credit me and the book.

Current Goals

1 Chapter/Week (Personally I hope 1 Chapter/Day)
100k Views
100 Collections

Other Goals
Adapt one of the chapter into a real story.

So I've been thinking a few days while doing my school work to get ahead on it. I'm about done getting ahead so chapters coming soon but...

What if I do a new story inspired by the K Project anime? I haven't seen any stories or novels using a similar power structure or world structure like K Project and I can say that it's a bit sad since I enjoy the anime and movies so much.

So I had a thought. What if I make a story inspired by K Project. Not too similar but you will easily see the inspiration from it.

Thoughts?

Kameron, a teenage boy is killed tragically with the girl he was starting to love. As he gains a second chance at life he also gets a Gacha system to help him along the way. Surprisingly this system wants him to create a completely new Kingdom, a domain that is entirely up to him to control and manipulate. 

Hello, Zero here... this is just a book I’m writing for the contest for fun. Do I expect this to take off? No. I am just doing my own thing as original as can be. I have plans for this story but it probably won’t get that far.

Give this story a review and you can be as tough as you want on me but please be aware that I am human and I have feelings.

Silver tier winner of WPC #156

I'm going to pause this story because it's badly structured, I need some time to create a better structure of the story, the levels of power, system and other things, it will create a new series while I re-structure this series.

You leave it in the comments if I remove the "novel" or leave it as it is.

Note: I haven't read novels before, I'm more of a sports guy but there was a mistake with my career instead of programming I stayed in cinematographyy, have a little patience with what I write, if you read that well in passing give me some advice, if you don't like it anyway give me some advice, grammar is translated badly so until I learn English I can't do anything with that, thanks for your attention and your time.

This is my first time writing a novel I hope you will forgive my mistakes and help me improve and I am not an English speaker I hope you understand it thanks

Can you make a webnovel on a facebook post?
This is the default thing you'll see when reading this webnovel.

Chapter 0.8 - Redesigning a soul

The door closes and the new characters are laid to rest on a garden. The character with a unique hairstyle (George) stayed to watch over the two (Rosette and Sandra). The individual wearing a scarf and headgear stayed with the new characters as well, keeping them company. It seems the characters that I left in the realm had an appreciation for art and constructed a garden. It is located near the main house (dormitory with a large circle clearing on the center)

I looked at the new characters before I turned my attention to a wide location. The individual with no name is in the center of pentagram, sitting in the likeness of Buddha, the individual's expression cannot be seen due to the cloak covering its face. There is a stone path leading to where individual with no name is. The individual with no name stood up with six pentagrams surrounding him. Then we continued the process.

The new characters entering this realm aren't set for redesign. They'll be appointed in groups with other characters in this realm. Each character in this realm has a designated group, each group having a name in accordance to their purpose. A family of a clan can also be called a group while others do not have a designated group. Enough about groups

The shopkeeper family (Celith, Rielith and Athon), holds a story link with the first group (Protectors of the Earth) and the ancient family (Kazou Kou, Kuumi Luayne and Mica Paliphia) that exorcises since ancient times. Matching each other's numbers I decided to merge both and treat them as the antique shopkeepers. Their previous story relation stays and they have another slight story relation with another group of characters. The pentagrams glowed brightly below the characters and mixed their soul structure together.  The caster with no name ended the first merging of the chapter.

The next three consists of filler characters, an individual that is lazy (Yzal), an individual that is a programmer (Saiber) and an individual that is a scientist (Ani Cien). Since their souls are like one another I chose to have them merged into one soul. But the three wanted to fight over each other for the right of the main soul. I agreed and observing from an audience's point of view. The lazy one, hands down, given up from the get go and the other two fought with fists until the scientist won the fight. The three laughed along after the fight and entered their respective pentagrams. The individual that is a scientist put up his glasses, and said a quote from an anime, something like souls living on with him.

The next batch, the individual that has a strange hand (Jeff Martin) along with the two androids (??? and ???), the first, wearing a strange eyeglass and the second had his eyes closed. Seemingly identical in eyewear, the androids agreed on the merging since their main inspiration, the story they are inspired from, is forever lost to the realm of ideas. No footage can be traced from the dimensions. The individual with a strange hand and the two androids entered their respective pentagrams. The merging process begins.

The pentagrams glowed brightly and spun slowly. Speeding up, the pentagram enveloped the character. Leaving a soul structure, the three soul structure with a slowly spinning pentagram below them, gathered on one spot, the souls merging into a single being. The three pentagrams merged into one and dissipated as the soul takes its form. A white haired individual came out with a suit and headgear. The character's strange hand had received an ability to change matter.

Now that all of the pentagrams are used up, it should be set on another chapter to continue. But the individual with no name said that he has three more reserved pentagrams. With a raise of the hand across the ceiling, three identical pentagrams descended around the individual with no name. Since we had to continue, I called for the next group.

The individual that has cross necklace (Cuoxe Galemare), individual that has a strange scythe (Clara Lorrean) and individual wearing potholders (Adheart Lauchensbert) entered their respective pentagrams. The pentagrams spun again like before but the worries of the individual with no name surfaced in its aura. I was hoping for it to go smoothly but the pentagram has been spinning like crazy and the three doesn't budge from their position. The merging process is being rejected.

A short one cause there'll be another.

It was "Can you write a webnovel on a facebook post?" at first.

The changed to.

"Can a person write a webnovel on a facebook post?"

This is a webnovel im writing currently on facebook and now moving it on this platform. This webnovel is about the travel on various worlds explored by my ocs. There is always something unique to each chapters. And there's also recommendations on each footnote. Have fun reading.

This webnovel is a multiversed one. I had a trouble wit hthe genre picking and stuff. Lots of leads female, male I think mostly are male. By the way. I am the author that made Conceps comic in webtoon. Some of the concepts there may be applied here.

 In the four hundred eightieth year after the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the Lord. The house that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits wide, across the width of the house. Its depth was ten cubits in front of the house. For the house he made windows with recessed frames. He also built a structure against the wall of the house, running around the walls of the house, both the nave and the inner sanctuary; and he made side chambers all around. The lowest story was five cubits wide, the middle one was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for around the outside of the house he made offsets on the wall in order that the supporting beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.

The house was built with stone finished at the quarry, so that neither hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron was heard in the temple while it was being built.

The entrance for the middle story was on the south side of the house: one went up by winding stairs to the middle story, and from the middle story to the third. So he built the house, and finished it; he roofed the house with beams and planks of cedar. He built the structure against the whole house, each story five cubits high, and it was joined to the house with timbers of cedar.

Now the word of the Lord came to Solomon, "Concerning this house that you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, obey my ordinances, and keep all my commandments by walking in them, then I will establish my promise with you, which I made to your father David. I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel."

So Solomon built the house, and finished it. He lined the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the rafters of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of cypress. He built twenty cubits of the rear of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the rafters, and he built this within as an inner sanctuary, as the most holy place. 
The house, that is, the nave in front of the inner sanctuary, was forty cubits long. The cedar within the house had carvings of gourds and open flowers; all was cedar, no stone was seen. The inner sanctuary he prepared in the innermost part of the house, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord. The interior of the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high; he overlaid it with pure gold. He also overlaid the altar with cedar. Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold, then he drew chains of gold across, in front of the inner sanctuary, and overlaid it with gold. Next he overlaid the whole house with gold, in order that the whole house might be perfect; even the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.

The two Books of Kings are regarded by many as the last part of a work commonly known as the Deuteronomistic History. The latter tells the story of Israel from its settlement in the land (Joshua and Judges) through the transition from judgeship to monarchy under Samuel, Saul, and David (1 and 2 Samuel) to the reign of Solomon, the disintegration of the united kingdom into the kingdoms of Israel and Judah and the eventual downfall of both kingdoms (1 and 2 Kings). The Deuteronomistic History along with the Pentateuch forms a single historical narrative stretching from creation to exile.

The Books of Kings can be approached in several ways. They contain history and are an important source of information about the Israelite kingdoms. They are also narrative that calls for careful reading; historical accuracy is sometimes sacrificed to the demands of compelling characterization and dramatic tension. Most importantly, both historical presentation and narrative creativity are shaped by a particular religious worldview.

The multifaceted character of the work means that it has a variety of focal points. The historical events themselves, of course, are important, but the patterns according to which the author organizes those events give a unity to the author’s historical reconstruction. The northern kings are condemned without exception, and the royal line degenerates from the divine election of Jeroboam I through a succession of short-lived dynasties to the bloodbath of Jehu’s coup d’état, and finally dies out in a series of assassinations. (It must be admitted that the author at times skews the story to preserve the pattern: the relatively prosperous forty-one-year reign of Jeroboam II is dismissed in seven verses!) Judah’s kings, on the other hand, follow a cyclic pattern of infidelity followed by reform, with each reformer king (Asa, Joash, Hezekiah, Josiah) greater than the last. Unfortunately the apostate kings also progress in wickedness, until the evil of Manasseh is so great that even Josiah’s fidelity cannot turn away the Lord’s wrath.

As a literary work, the Books of Kings are admirable. Some of the brilliance is accessible only in Hebrew: wordplays, the sounds and rhythms of poetic passages, verbal allusions to other passages of the Hebrew Bible. Scenes are drawn with a vibrancy and immediacy that English cannot reproduce without sounding overdone. But other literary techniques survive translation: symmetrical structures for narrative units (and the disruptions of symmetry at significant points), rich ambiguities , foreshadowings (such as the way the prophet of Bethel and the man of God of Judah portend the destinies of their respective kingdoms). Characterization is rich and complex (Solomon, Jeroboam, Elijah, Ahab, Elisha, Jehu, etc.), revealing deep insight into human nature.


Into the stories of the kings, almost as a counterpoint, are woven numerous stories of prophets, named and great (Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah), and less known or anonymous. Many of the stories are anecdotal, reflecting the everyday life of prophets and prophetic guilds. But the volatile dynamics of prophetic involvement in the political realm are prominent: prophets in opposition to kings, prophets in support of kings. This too is part of the theological worldview of the Deuteronomistic historian. The destiny of Israel is in God’s hand. Through prophets, the divine will is made known on earth to kings and people and the future consequences of their response to God’s will are spelled out. It is perhaps indicative of the importance prophets have in 1 and 2 Kings that the structural center of the two books is the story of Elisha’s succession to Elijah’s prophetic ministry, and that this is one of the few passages in Kings that occurs outside the account of any king’s reign. Behind the temporal realm of kings and reigns lies the continuing realm of the divine word and its servants, the prophets.

Now that the concept is decided now is  the for my designing technique is based on Emiya Shirou's technique tracing which is as follows

the process of Tracing into seven steps, which include:
1.Judging the concept of creation
2.Hypothesizing the basic structure
3.Duplicating the composition material
4.Imitating the skill of its making

5.Sympathizing with the experience of its growth

6. Reproducing the accumulated years

7.Excelling every manufacturing process

Which is altered to create be a designing and fabrication process combining both the art and science of mech designing allowing me to utilize my skills to its absolute limit now for the specific steps of my designing technique

1. Conceptualizing the ideal for creation -this step creates the general direction of the design and the x factor
2. Hypothesizing the basic structure- which is basically planning the layout of the mech
3. Selection of its composition- which involves the selection of parts and materials used for the mech
4. Initializing the skills for its making- which is basically creating the prototype
5. Sympathizing with its concept- which involves the strengthening its x factor through creating a story about the concept of the mech which will be imbued with the design

6. Resonating with its possible growth- which involves the strengthening the structure of the design through optimization and further improvement of its x factor by increasing the quality of the x factor by strengthening the foundation of the concept of its creation

7. Excelling every manufacturing process which involves optimizations to its structure and design , strengthening the x factor, Fabrication of the mech with the best of my abilities
I have already finished the first step yesterday now is the time to begin the second step of my designing as I have employed this technique to ensure that I can design this mech to the best of my abilities and knowledge 

With that said I am now hypothesizing the basic structure of the mech which is based on Voltron now that said I already completed the  basic structure for the configuration now I am working on creating the basic structure for the five Ligers yes Ligers I decided to combine the original lions design with Liger Zero to make it far more versatile and stronger while retaining both the strength of each design next is Selection of its composition which will be difficult because of the complexity of both animal mechs and humanoid mechs furthermore this design is combination of the two as well the compatibility of parts that came along with it which will be a hard challenge
