Trial by Conquest — Chapter One — Part 1/? (Patreon)

Well, here we go. *Takes deep breath*. This is going to start off quite hardcore, so prepare yourself for that.

Trial by Conquest — Chapter one — Part 1/? 

Words: 3,700 words

Genre: Adventure/Fantasy/LitRPG

The premise of this story is that our protagonist has to play and win a real-life 4X game of Civilisation/Heroes-of-Might-and-Magic/Anno-1602 against some really nasty pieces of work, and if he doesn't, then he ain't making it out of there alive. He'll need allies, land, resources, technology, and magic to win, but he isn't the only one who knows this. His opponents may be utter bastards, but they are not stupid.

Chapter one is going to be mostly getting our hero to the starting line.

Note: This release doesn't complete chapter one. We still have a few more scenes after this to write.

Also, I'm planning to clean up my other websites soon, and this chapter is going to replace the Richard Struggle one as the teaser for the rest of my work. But that'll only be once it's complete.
