In the mighty country of Lothingham, something is going terribly awry. On the verge of magnificent global conquest blessed by the great god Vagalon, insurgents known as "Luminous Wing" have dedicated themselves to undermine the country. Having stolen several Magical Armors, giant magic powered statue-like weapons of immense power, they begin their crusade. True citizens of Lothingham, I beseech you, do not abide these miscreants. Glory to Lothingham! Praise be to Vagalon! Deep under Lothingham, there is a girl in a metal tomb. As pain runs through her, both body and mind are changed irreparably. Something enters her mind. Something invasive, something poisonously new. She pushes back. A figure in white stands above an array of similar tombs. A mouth opens. "I sin for the sake of my new world. I will have no regrets."

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 20–49 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
