Final Farewell Notice

Hello all!!

The time has finally come. After 17 months of hiatus, I finished The Obsidian Tale!
Now you can search full content and episodes from start to finish without having to wait for more.

It has been a struggling time especially for volume 5, as I have been busy with life after college (which was evident of the downfall of being on time with my story work).

To ensure my next story is more reliable, I have reduced the episode count to 39 instead of 65. There will be less characters but with more development, and the story will not have a release date until it is almost done.

That way, you all can enjoy content in a normally timed manner.

Well, this is my last message to The Obsidian Tale. As a person who grew 2-3 years after the story was created back in 2014, I feel that this story is very mediocre and I will work to improve the next several stories.

Please bear with the writing style. I will not be making many new notices on this website anymore, but do stay tuned as there will be a surprise return so that I can let you all know about my next work, Draco's Legend.

Enjoy!! :)

Final update notice

Hello all,

This weekend will be the final update. I have finalized all of the images that I needed to put together, so all it needs is to be uploaded into episodes 53-65. This will take only an hour of my time.

Additionally, I also have to add music interpretation to those episodes. That could take up to two more hours, but because this task is exciting, it will be quick and easy.

Stay tuned!

Volume 5 - The Final Chapter, coming soon! + new information

Hello all,

14 months later, I decided to finally complete the long-awaited artwork of Volume 5.
The artwork was THE hardest part to complete in order to push forward onto the remainder of the plot.

This volume will take place between episodes 53-65. With the main party of eight, they now have an airship, enabling them to travel all across the world as quick as possible. This will be a fun volume, but also very tragic, as the death toll of notable characters is highest here. What's not to expect from a final chapter?

I'm going to cut this information short to leave it all new and surprising.

------------------------------------

Future news!

Moving on from The Obsidian Tale, the new story, "Draco's Legend" has built its skeleton over the past year, which means the plot was carefully planned out with as little plot holes as possible. With only six main characters (as The Obsidian Tale has eight), each character is heavily fleshed out with developments and secrets that are yet to be revealed. There is also a seventh main character, but he's a cat mascot!

I am very excited to work on this new project, as I decided to turn this series into a visual novel = 20-minute video episodes (a total of 39). This visual novel will consist of relevant characters in each scene, standing, facing each other. There will be text on the bottom with music and background locations being displayed all at the same time.

It is a major step up in my story projects, and would be a lot more fun.

About "Draco's Legend":

Main plot: 

The story takes place during the era of rumored dragons. An intelligent, but apathetic young boy named Quinn decides to apply for a top-tier boarding school so he could gain information about the military. At the same time, the military itself forms an attack at the school - the reason connected to Quinn. With Quinn wanting to keep the school in-tact, he decides to escape and journey the world to learn in other ways - besides from school.

Along his adventure, six other companions (2 boys, 3 girls, and a sassy male cat) will tag along his journey, all forcibly branded as the bad guys. Deeper within, as the plot grows stronger, they'll learn more about the so-called rumored dragons that relate with the military.
