    The Divine Elements
    An Original Tale by Daman

    Synopsis:

    Anger. Pain. Desolation.

    An orphan boy tries to forge his own destiny in order to seek the strength to avenge the deaths of his family, as he shatters the chains of servitude bond to him.

    On his eighth birthday, Calron awakened to the weakest known power in the world: the element of lightning. However, unlike the normal golden lightning of other cultivators, Calron’s lightning was an azure-blue color.

    Hiding his powers from the world, Calron embarks on a journey of ascending to Godhood, and takes his first step into a world of friendship, revenge and bloodshed.

    Have you uploaded this story to royalroadl.com?

    That's another good site if you want more readers.

    yes, I have it there as well. I had stopped posting there after moving over to Gravity, but I might post there again whenever I release new chapters, not sure... Here's the link to RR if you're interested :)

    I think the main reason why series are dropped in royal road is because of the restrictions they put on writers to receive donations (which is you must have 50,000 words for the first 10 chapters).

    As a writer myself, it's the support that is shown by readers that really motivate us to continue writing them and that was the main reason I came back, as I had people continuously emailing me when the next chapter releases were. It warms your heart to be appreciated like that. I think if readers actively supported the novels they like, then I doubt that novel will be dropped unless an emergency in real life occurred.

    just my thoughts :p

    Well to increase donation u need popularity and that doesn't happen overnight right? .. in fact i think people lose interest way faster when a serie goes on hiatus or dropped even if the story is awesome.. 1 little hiatus and u lose the wave. then less donations = no motivation = serie dropped for good. in other words : u cant give up too early ( specially after 10 chapters )

    Agreed! I have promised myself that I will not drop this novel even if I get no donations. I realised how much fun it really is to create an entire fictional world with just your thoughts and words, and sharing that world with other people. The characters you create and develop, soon start forming into real people with personalities and their own little quirks. I have the story planned for 3 books and the general end, so its safe to say that I will be here for quite a while lol :D

    I just read all of this, pretty good stuff. I wonder what's going to happen when our little boy has that blood on his face, considering his special condition.

    Thank you! Book 1 will soon end around 60 chapters or so, hence only a few more chapters are left! ^^
    Keep reading, I guarantee you'll spit out blood once read the last chapter of the book 1 :p
