Midnight Bloodletting (WIP 7.1k Word Teaser) SEEKING ALPHA READERS

Summary

Years ago, after a job gone wrong you were left bleeding out in an underground lab. Without any other options, you make a deal with a being. A Devil. Devils are supernatural beings that completely encapsulate an idea of fear or destruction.

Since that fateful night you went from a mercenary of note, to something of legend. You’re assigned to the most secretive and dangerous jobs; the kind of jobs meant for entire teams, you do it alone (kind of).

Tonight’s mission: Infiltrate the Echis Oil R&D Compound, kill the head R&D scientist, Desmond Thornton, and destroy his research. Simple, right?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

As for a story, this is meant to be a violent, action-filled power fantasy where your MC wrecks havoc to complete their mission with wild powers. It is quite gory and with enough edge to shave with.

Disclaimer: This is a teaser at best, just enough to get the idea across. At the moment, I plan on this being a short story that only spans the length of the mission. There’s no romance and no plans to further develop this beyond this story right now.

Again, demo ain’t long, but here it is: CoGDemos

Quick ask for y’all; Do we prefer smaller and more frequent updates, or do we prefer larger updates with more time between?

Currently working on first fight scene, I’m debating whether to release bit by bit, as each Devil’s scene is finished, or to release the scene once the entire fight with all Devil scene finished.

If I go with incremental updates, I will mark incomplete routes so y’all know what’s what.

  • Update frequently; once a route is done.
  • Update less frequently; when the entire scene is finished.
  • Results / no preference.

I briefly read your work, and I love the writing style you used! I think this has a lot of potential.

Unfortunately, the triggers are too intense for me, which is such a shame! Good luck with your work.

This is great! Your writing is clear, not too wordy and very captivating.

It’s very short as you said yourself, but I am excited for more!

I hope more people give this a read!

Looking for alpha readers!

I’m slowly chipping away at Midnight Bloodletting. So far, I’m the only editor, and it’s a bit tiring :sweat_smile:. I think I’ve done okay thus far, but I’m human and will inevitably miss stuff. I’m wanting to get a handful of people (no more than 5) to help me with testing and editing. Let me know if anyone is interested in helping out.

I do love a power fantasy, so this should be fun.
