Introducing Starr Eternal, Mines for the Everyday Hero!

This might be the story you're looking for while waiting for your favourite, upcoming LitRPG...! Blurb below!

(Chapters 1-24 now available - Starr Eternal - RoyalRoad.com)

-

Thrash was on top of the world - an Adventurer in the making, destined for fame and glory. He had the skills, the smarts, and the nepotism required to become a true hero.

Then, he blew it. Big time.

Now, instead of leading parties and battling monsters on epic quests, Thrash’s destiny is stripped away. He’s forced to manage a dungeon. His days of slaying kings and queens for glory are over. It’s now an endless grind - a dull, day-to-day slog of progressing his dungeon and keeping the bureaucrats in charge appeased.

But this is Starr Galaxy Entertainment, and in this world, anything can happen.

Because even the most unlikely Dungeon Masters can have their moment in the spotlight. All he has to do is follow his list of objectives: start from nothing, build his dungeon, and climb up the ranks. The more you entertain, the higher you rise.

So, Thrash? He might have lost everything - but he's not going to lose more. With a talking weapon that’s anything but quiet, an army of quirky companions, and a dungeon that’s more alive than it seems, Thrash is about to learn that sometimes, the most unexpected heroes face the hardest challenges - and even a Dungeon Master like him can carve his own path amid the chaos.

Welcome to Starr Eternal, Mines for the Everyday Hero.

-

What you can expect:

- Humour! Adventure! Rash decisions! Charming companions!

- A slow-burn LitRPG with a dash of Slice of Life

- Level progression (MC, companions, and dungeon)

- Dungeon exploration

- Character-driven drama

- Stats, descriptions, and a whole lot of charm

- A talking weapon that’s either playful and flirty, or a complete submissive (only time will tell)

- A journey from zero to hero

The spotlight’s on Thrash now - will he rise, or will he crumble? Stay tuned.

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

While lethal injuries often take center stage, non-lethal injuries can create lasting effects on characters, shaping their journeys in unique ways. If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain during a scene, here are some ideas: 

Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility, forcing characters to adapt their plans and experience frustration as they navigate their environment.

Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult and create tension, especially during action scenes, where every breath becomes a reminder of vulnerability.

Concussion

This brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment and creating a sense of unpredictability in their actions.

Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills, causing frustration and emphasizing a character’s dependence on their hands.

Road Rash

The raw, painful skin resulting from a fall can symbolize struggle and endurance, highlighting a character's resilience in the face of physical hardship.

Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation.

Deep Laceration

A cut that requires stitches can evoke visceral imagery and tension, especially if the character has to navigate their surroundings while in pain.

Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma, serving as a physical reminder of a character’s past mistakes or battles.

Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, providing an opportunity for characters to experience frustration or the need to lean on others for support.

Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted, highlighting their struggle to adapt and overcome.
