Before the Incident [124k words] [Revenge, Superpower, Urban Fantasy] [WIP]

I also died on that hill. I wouldnt be surprised if this author found lots of fans on that hill.

Thanks Author, evoking that emotion in us. Wonder how well the rest goes if can kill us all in a short demo. Heart strings plucked!

Hmmm, I can think of Diaspora. The fighting scenes are really good ( Link to Forums thread: Diaspora - Updated 12 February 2024 [First Draft Complete!] - #5 by Vertigo )

I hope This is not a cruel joke about Anna Iā€™ve been reading your stories. And I feel like you got something cooked up. Thatā€™s evil. Iā€™m scared of you but Iā€™m intrigued to see how this plays out.

March Update 2024

Hello everyone,

Iā€™ve been hard at work with Before the Incident ever since the prologue. Iā€™m about an additional 30k words since the prologue totaling around 50kish words so far. I already completed chapter 1 and half of chapter 2. I am estimating the first arc will be about 3-4 chapters total. Release date is unknown since Iā€™m unsure when I should release the chapters, but I do hope everyone likes it!

That really sounds promising and I will wait for the update :grinning:

Major March Update 2024

Hello everyone,

After working hard for the past month, I finished writing and uploaded chapter 1, 2, and a good portion of chapter 3. This update is approximately an additional 50k words. In this update, you get introduced to several new characters which you can flirt with. I also added a small addition if you catch feelings for these ROs, but you romanced A in the prologue. I hope you enjoy that! One thing to note is the stats. Stats are still a work in progress and are not fully implemented yet. I appreciate your patience.

I hope you can enjoy the new chapter! It was a doozy to write multiple scenes for various powers, but it was also fun! :grin: Thanks for reading!

Your April Foolā€™s story was so funny :grin: :joy: :grinning: I had such a good laugh, and Aw Abe, he protected MC, so sweet :yum: :smile:
Both of your stories are amazing, I love Joe
ā€¦I mean Syo xD he reacts like we did romance A. when we didnā€™t romance A. (In my case, it was only platonic) Or is that on purpose? :joy:
Tenth is such a good character, I think sheā€™ll be a great friend for my MC :grinning:

I like the idea everything you speak as a lie becomes reality. That is the most dangerous ability ever By the way, watch out for that watermelon.!

@Queen_Zelda Iā€™m happy that you found my April Foolā€™s story, it was really nice to write something light-hearted with the cast of Twenty-One.

Also, could you point out where Syo reacts as if you romanced A? I think I fixed what youā€™re talking about, but I just want to make sure :0

Iā€™m surprised, but also happy with Tenthā€™s current reception. I expected her to be disliked due to her initial impressions, but it seems like people like her a lot which is good! :grin:

@Takashi_Shin Itā€™s a really strong ability, but it requires the target to believe your lie. So if your lie is too complex while youā€™re trying to lie to someone who isnā€™t smart, it could fail. But yes, I think itā€™s the most fun to write! It would be interesting to have the MC lie about a falling object causing someone to get concussed, even if itā€™s actually a harmless ball. :watermelon:

Wants to become the devil or demon and get more power. Thatā€™s what I think so. Donā€™t let her have it. Make it be hanging fruit for her.( My god What have I become!)

Then Iā€™m going to feed her soul to demons she deserve every kind of hell that weā€™re going to give her my MC will not feel any ounce of guilt for dishing out what she deserve is it evil to punish villains no she chose to be an enemy and her choice will lead her to her most painful demise

@Ronin_101 I have thought that death might actually be an ultimate type of mercy for Ib. I donā€™t really see an angle where the MC ā€˜forgivesā€™ Ib at all since Iā€™ve written Ib to be a reprehensible human being. Perhaps there might be a choice to go for swift justice or prolonged revenge. A lot to think about.

@Leon_Kincoln Thank you! I try my best to world-build without trying to give huge exposition dumps. Iā€™m happy that this is appreciated!

@Queen_Zelda Thatā€™s great to hear, thank you again for mentioning it!
