The Sixth School. Book Two, Chapter 016.
🕑 Added 2025-03-03 14:29:21 +0000 UTCHi guys,
Here is Book Two, Chapter Sixteen.
Part of the how I manage to keep the story so interesting is because I don't consciously try to steer it. I just create a fictional world in my head, populate it with characters and then just watch them as they act. This makes it so that I'm just as much on an adventure as you guys.
One of the drawbacks of this, however, is that sometimes my characters will do or say things that I have to really think hard to justify otherwise the story just falls apart.
The term life order was first mentioned in chapter eighteen or nineteen. It may come as a surprise to you guys but when I wrote it, I had zero clue what I meant by it or if it would even ever appear again in the story. The next time it appeared was roughly sixty or so chapters later in chapter eighty when Greg obtained the mid-purity life order promotion elixir.
If you go back and read chapter eighty one carefully, you will notice that Morpheus promised to help Greg rise three ranks, instead of the one promised by the elixir. If you're paying close attention, you will notice that the word used was ranks, not tiers. That is to say, every life order tier is subdivided into different ranks within that tier.
Back when I wrote chapter 81, I had no idea what those ranks would be. Now, a little over twenty chapters later, I had to sit down and really think this part through. Usually the story tells itself and I barely have to do anything but just capture it as it plays out in my imagination. This chapter, however, was one of those rare exceptions. I hope I did it justice.
As always, please do take the time to give me your feedback. It means a lot to me.
Enjoy.
Regards,
BlaQQuill

Why is the trip going to take 2 years? How big is the planet? A trip from England to America on a sail boat was only a matter of months, and flying is a lot faster than sailing, even on a single engine prop plane.

I can't come up with one and still write, so it'll have to wait. Besides, without people asking questions, I have no way of knowing what in particular people don't know.

Hi BQ, all of the feedback you have given here is invaluable to understanding your story. The issue is that your 'book' will currently not include this explanation. It might be worth thinking about an appendix in the book or flesh out your story going forward with some of your insights that you have given here.
