The Labyrinths of Archal - Potential RR cover image, Synopsis, and the first 18k words
This is a story I started writing over a year ago, around October of 2023, but I never actually posted it. Note that if I ever start working on it again I will reread through it and edit it, but I thought I might as well post it in case anyone wants to read it. I even have a synopsis and a potential Royal Road cover image for it.
New Potential Cover Images added in later posts and later times:
New potential Cover for Royal Road:
Original Potential Cover image:
What would you do if you woke up in the middle of a strange chamber underground without any memories?
After waking up for the first time in longer than Aurora can remember, which is a grand total of a few seconds since she woke up, she finds quite a few things that appear out of place to her for some reason.
The first is that she is no longer human. Whatever a human is.
The second is that she is no longer on Earth. A place that she only vaguely remembers.
And the third?
She’s stuck in a labyrinth.
Places meant to challenge the people of the Archal Plane and let them grow. To grant them skills upon defeating bosses. Levels upon defeating monsters. And to provide entertainment for the masses through the livestreamed combat coming from within its walls.
At least, according to the strange screen floating in front of her face, that is.
Aurora still doesn’t know what’s going on herself.
But she does know one thing.
She must survive.
And to survive, she must fight.

And btw, I started writing this one a while before I even started writing Ascension of Chaos.

do you have any plans for writing more of this.
I don't necessarily have plans per se for any of the stories not on Royal Road. I just write them when inspiration strikes. And if I write enough of them, they become one of the possible choices for the next ongoing regularly updated Royal Road story.
In chapter 7, just after the "Two days later" break, Aurora gets a bonus for killing the kobold as five levels higher than she is, even though at this point she's level 9 and the kobold is level 10, I'd copy/paste the quote, but you've (understandably) disabled copy/paste on this doc.
It's fixed.
Yey more chapters!!!
I wanna read more, is this all you have for now or will you start releasing them by chapter soon?
I just started writing more this morning but was distracted because of Thanksgiving. So I didn't even finish a full chapter. But I will be starting to post more chapters soonish.
really good, need more
OMG, It's definitely my new favorite series behind Crimson Eternal !!
Loved the story does the cloak she received as a reward have different properties from the one she got as part of her starting equipment?
I have started going through and editing the story since this story seems to be the most popular Patreon story I have ever started judging by how fast and how many likes it's getting. And I went ahead and just removed the first cloak she got since I think I forgot about it when I was first writing the series over a year ago.
I loved this story and its characters. I especially like the plot outside the labyrinth with the royals and the potential full or shadow war that may come from Aurora's birth
I am up for next chapters. Its like mix of crimson, reaper and chaos to be honest.
Do continue! It is going to be interesting to see the interactions between her and all the differing parties around her
Would love more of this story!
This is a really interesting start to a story that I really enjoyed. Any plans to continue this?
Considering that I did really like the story when I was writing it a while back, and that it is doing incredibly well so far in terms of likes/impressions ratio, far better than a lot of my other recent stories, I probably will continue it.
Definitely continue this.
love the story
