To your west, your home-town village is burning.

To your east, the sun is burning.

Track your adventure as you run from the orcs massacring your hometown, and see if you can find yourself a little bit of warmth in the harshness of my world, even as winter is approaches.

It's time to scatter!


Hey there!

This story contains eight chapters, twenty-four choices, two sensual scenes and two NSFW scenes, and two endings. It's a short, sweet, fantastical ride of 28k words, meant to get you titillated while adding growth to my world.

Well, I say ~28,000 words, but that's just the critical path. The total amount is ~38,600 words.

Why I Wrote This Story:

I wrote this short story because I wanted to test out ways to implement an Interactive Fiction novel in a more traditional format, an EPUB! This will allow your eReaders and phones to read this novel without any problems, even though they have no interactivity, no JavaScript!

Now just because I wrote it in order to figure out how to write CYOA novels on an EPUB does not mean that I didn't try my best. I aimed to make a story that:

  • Is person focused,
  • And lets your brain fill in the details.

This lets you maximize the enjoyment of the story by utilizing your own imagination to fill in the vague details I've left in the story. This way, you can understand the story how you want to, to maximize your enjoyment.

That was the goal. The reality is probably less than ideal.

Suggestion: Introduce some erotic and interesting pictures. You can use AI generation for pencil drawn black and white images, just don't trust it to draw the same characters twice and you'll be fine

Nice suggestion!
I normally do add interesting pictures (as you can see from my previous entries), but I wrote this novel specifically for the 2023 Bare-Bones Jam, which forbids such things!

Now, you could say that I don't have to follow the rules of a random jam, but the truth is that if the jam didn't exist, this novel wouldn't have been written at all, so I felt compelled to do so.

As a reminder, which is still needed after years of this problem, if you post GIFs of raging homosexual activity in my comments section to advertise your game, I will simply delete them and block you.

Edit: I am aware of the three "TThe" typos. I'll update once I'm sure there aren't any critical issues.

It's really none of my business, but what on Earth happened that gained you a dedicated gay porn spammer for a year+?

It's not just me, you can find them on other new NSFW projects. Some people are just that way, you know?
