He's just deluded, Apex. No one recognizes him as a dark lord besides him, or else he wouldn't have to keep telling us. Don't let it bother you.

"Another appearance by the troll. Harry, how sweet."

Sure, anytime hun. :D

Edit: HAHAHahahaaa...I was just checking the spelling in these posts with Tiger's built in cmd-option-d combo, and I came up with this for my name:

harry |?har?|
verb ( -ries, -ried)
[ trans. ] persistently carry out attacks on (an enemy or an enemy's territory). • persistently harass : he bought the house for Jenny, whom he harries into marriage | [as adj. ] ( harried) harried reporters are frequently forced to invent what they cannot find out.

Gooood Times!

I'm gonna have to agree with these guys, Touriaus. You don't need separate threads for your chapters. Especially if they're this short. "Chapter synopsis" would have been more accurate given its length.

And a bit of constructive criticsm: Your grammar and spelling may be mostly fine, but the length of your 'chapters' would be helped by adding detail. A writer can't make a good story on good grammar and spelling alone. People have to be able to stay interested and to be able to follow what is going on in order for them to be interested. The fact that you are putting your 'chapters' in separate threads does nothing to help you; in fact, it hurts you because people have to go to an entirely different thread if they are confused about something you mention about an earlier chapter. Keeping them in one thread allows people to simply scroll up and down if they missed something. Take a look at these stories as examples of this:

And yes, the phrase "Dark Lord" is rather cliché. There is not a single person who plays this game who can properly use the role of Herumor.

Within the newly waxed [IA] station HQ, at the helm of the Deep Blue Universal AC supercomputer, LeberMac mused on the discovery of this newfound power that the Dark Lord Mecha Touriaus has apparently found. Dark Energy. Vacuum energy. Zero-point energy. A virtually limitless source of power, if one knew how to extract it and control it. Harnessing the very quantum fluctuations of spacetime itself.

He located a wisp of dark matter trailing Mecha's ship, apparently headed to Helios if the warp signature could be trusted.

He followed, unsure of what he would find...

Haha, this is just about what I was working on with my story, at least, with what happens to Lecter. I was aiming for just more of a moral, metaspiritual force, rather than superphysical quantum force.
Just a matter of perspective at that point, I say.

Bravo!
