Ohh I would so love to participate. Got a few exams in June, but since the deadline is July 1st I might even fire up my brain before that.

Stay tuned for: The return of Ramond.

I would like to take part in, but my grammar is sucky, which might make it worse.

I shall participate but one question,.... Will I post the story here or PM it to reaper?

[LeoGautama]

Here's an attempt. I don't know if I'm having grammar mistakes or the story is unclear, but I hope you get the idea.

Spoiler (Click to View)

"I never was one of the common, average people. I was not able to recall any of my past, or my family. The first thing I knew, it was that I was in a cave. I was scared, wild fierce animals lurk there. But they were friendly. They did not treat me like a prey, nor were they afraid. They treated me... like a friend. Like a family. The cave was my home, the animals were my friends and animals. They shared their food with me, and I protected them from the hunters.

I spent my days living with them and protecting them from the hunters who would attempt to kill them for their own profit. It was all that ever happened... until that day came.

The day when, my fighting capabilities which I instinctively used against the hunters were recognized by an evil presence, a king of demons, one who sought to take over the human world. I did not care about the world, I was not interested and had no intention to join him. Until he offered to enhance my powers to the fullest potential if I accept, and slaughter me and my friends if I refuse. I had no choice. I accepted, and became one of his warriors, and he enhanced my powers, I am now more powerful than ever.

I never cared about my past. I recall nothing farther than the first time I found myself there in the cave. However, there's one that I did not forget, but nor understood, I vaguely remember someone. I had no idea who it was and did not care who it is... until now.

Now he is in front of me, in the tower of the demon. The moment I saw him, I recognized him, and all my memories are suddenly revealed, I remember everything.

He's my half brother. He lived in the city, with a house and friends. I lived in the nature, with the cave as my house and the animals my friends.

He had became a hero. He fought against this demon king I joined with his friends. I do not want to fight him, no matter what the demon king says. But it is too late. When he enhanced my powers, he influenced me with his dark powers, I am now under his control. I can only watch myself fighting him now, feeling all the pain. I hope he finds some way to break the mind control spell, and if he does, I would be glad to help him stop the demon king from taking over the world...

I got ninja'd by this question. I think it's here since he asked to add spoiler tags and there's not much point on doing it if we PM the story to him.

[Kevin]

O_o nice background story, it fits to the real game.

I almost never write any fiction ^.^ but I'll give a try.

[Dr. Time]

I may give it a try too,if I come up with a nice story,that is.
And nice story LeoGautama

I second what Azriel said. While good grammar helps making a story understandable and readable, it's not what makes the story interesting or unique, so for me it certainly isn't the deciding factor. I'd say go for it.

That is correct.
