Hey chuck, just finished reading :) .
Only one thing:
"Welcome, friends, to this most prestigious gathering, this four-hundred and thirty-first graduation ceremony of Domi's Elite Acadmey. Hail our Lord Domi's willing servant, the Exalted Headmaster. As he is seated, so may you all."
I'm pretty sure that "Domi('s)" means Saradomin, but it did cause some confusion until i realized it was a shortened version probably for time reasons while writing it :x. I know what it means, but id recommend adding something to the first post explaining it or just change them in the thread as you come across them to prevent confusing other readers.
Thanks :D .

Ahh, yes, that's bound to be a problem, and one that potentially continues throughout. You see, I'm working on taking out direct RS references such as names of gods and cities, as a step towards maybe one day eventually getting this published. Jagex would throw a fit if I tried using stuff from their game without permission.
So basically, Domi is my name for a god that will be similar to RS's Saradomin.

I just stopped by to read what was done, since I noticed the post on the SD.
I remember this story from a few years ago, but I only recall reading a tiny bit then. A nice feeling to have suddenly got the memory that this was something I wanted to start, but never had the chance.
So we go from a storm breaking things, a boy waking up, hugging his mom, dragons attacking, crying, an exploding room and a toy horse, shards in the boy, an emotional scene, more crying, the boy waking up in bed, seeing his mom, more crying, the boy rocketing to the future and being in some sort of magical academy, some mentioning of swordplay, the guy swinging his sword in a circle for some reason, the headmaster not flinching, and then the guy getting totally owned moments later.
Hm, the prologue was a bit overly-sensitive. I never liked it when someone treated me like a baby.
But more importantly the story makes progress with how I imagine the scenes, so in this case I had some fun reading.
So you are retyping the story, and you've got, like, less than 20 posts after a year? :| But oh well, what you can accomplish with 15 posts I need to make over 400 posts to get the same thing.
Overall the story starts, say, a bit ordinary. There are lots of stories out there that attack the protagonist's family and leaving him out alone to deal with problems by himself, so in that case there's not much new, but I've done the same thing.
Or maybe the person who I think is dead is not dead yet, maybe there'll be a reunion some time, but I can only guess for now.
So there you go, I just read the story from page 2 up until I began seeing reserves, hope that helps.
now that I think about it, the story reminds me of that Orphen guy.
