The journey of a lone boy wandering an ancient and ruined world. He was given only one piece of guidance: to prepare. Cast to wander this primordial world, he must figure out what these messages he receives mean, and what his future holds. Is he free to decide his own fate? Or is he another cog in some unfathomable machine? It’s a work in progress, and I hope you enjoy!

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.
