~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 1.1 errors ~~~~~~~~~~

--- = Quoted text.

==========

---The vampire's teeth are sharper, the zombie's skin is even more rotten, and werewolves’ eyes are bloodshot

[...] the ZOMBIES’ skin[...] you mean? There is more than one zombie.

==========

---The remnants of ancient Gielnor inhabitants now roam the area,

I suggest changing ‘***lnor’ to ‘***lnor’s’.

==========

---and the scythe shines with the blood of those lives' lost.

Did you mean to put the apostrophe? It doesn’t seem to belong there.

==========

---You immediately fly through the air, your cloak flying through the air.

That sentence is terrible. Remove the repetitiveness.

==========

---Wind is rushing though your eye sockets, and you are getting excited as you finally have the ghost in your sight, near the Al Kharid palace, as you get ready for the reaping.

The comma after sight seems unessasary; I suggest removing it. This is only my opinion though.

==========

---[...]hard stare of your empty eye sockets

What? I don’t understand this part of the sentence...

==========

---[...]poor creature is endless, and an endless horizon[...]

Don’t use endless twice.

==========

---[...]harsh metal touches the ghostly material of the ghost's tail.

Again, you repeat yourself. Change the ‘ghostly material’ to a synonym.

==========

---A quick slice across the creature's arm does the trick, as another cloud of smoke forms around the area.

I don’t think that wording is very good; I recommend you remove the ‘as’ and change the comma to a semicolon.

==========

---A green liquid substance forms around your barren feet. The ectoplasm starts to fill the area, as the ghost releases a scream as you've never heard before.

Best worded ‘A green, liquidy substance[...]’ alternatives are ‘slimy’ ‘oozing’ and so forth. ‘A green liquid substance’ just sounds too awkward. A liquid is a substance... DUH.

---[...] as the ghost releases a scream as you've never heard before.

I suggest “as the ghost releases a scream, the likes of which you’ve never heard before”

==========

---You are driven by madness, nothing, absolutely nothing will stop you from destroying it!

Why an exclamation point? I don’t get why it’s needed.

==========

---You slice here and there, the bright Al Kharid sun glimmering on the ectoplasm of the scythe.

Z0MG!!!! COMMA SPLICEZNESS! Comma splices ftl; replace first comma with a semicolon.

==========

---You continue your rampage, and prepare for the final blow against the poor creature.

You use ‘and’ so much; I suggest you either break up into two sentences to avoid yet another ‘and’ or just replace the comma with a semicolon and ‘and’ with a ‘you.

==========

---You trail upwards and away, the city of Al Kharid becoming a speck in the entire continent of Gielnor

Replace comma with a semicolon.

==========

---You decide to deposit the scythe, waiting for yet another day to do your debts as a reaper.

Your debts? I don’t understand...

==========

You, you, you, every sentence begins with it; try using either other words, or making it intentional with semicolons.

==========

How did he see the people fighting goblins and spiders? I assume he looked out of a window, but you should specify that.

==========

---You walk out of the church, walking across the long bridge to the other side, feeling nostalgia as you walk near the guarded gate.

This sentence isn’t right – I suggest revising to one of the following.

• You walk out of the church; walking across the long bridge to the other side, you begin to feel nostalgia. You walk up near the guarded gate.

• You walk out of the church. As you walk across the long bridge and up to the guarded gate, a feeling of nostalgia comes over you.
