Pillars of the Light

You were six when you were taken by the Sun clan.

You spent most of your life in a limbo of sorts: your childhood was comfortable enough, yet you’re expected to spend your adult years serving the clan that took your away from your family. You’re an agent for the people that care little about you, in a time when tensions are brewing between clans and the demonic threat is rising in the wastes to the north.

An unexpected mission changes your life… again. But maybe, for someone determined it can be an opportunity. Gain Freedom through Power.

Reach Heaven through Hell.

Or, maybe, you’ll decide that Hell is a nice enough place.

A fantasy story I’m working on-and-off in my free time, so updates will be slow. I’m intending for it to remain a free game from start to finish.

As of 04/08/26, the prologue-ch2p1+3/4 of p2 are done and can be found here.

Current word count: ~149k

Planned features:

a story with a focus on plot and character interactions;

elements of horror and thriller;

a MC that is not a completely blank slate, but whose stats and relationships (and choices!) will affect their behavior;

a mix of adventure and political intrigue storylines;

an attempt to mix western and eastern fantasy (and quite a bit of inspiration for the setting came from ancient Chorezm).

The beginning is slow-paced on purpose: I needed to establish certain things. There are two major "paths" through the game, and one currently has more content than another; it is not an oversight.

The story is expected to eventually touch upon some heavy topics in addition to the usual (by usual I mean profanity, fantasy violence, blood and injury etc.). More details in the game itself.

There are four ROs planned for the game (you can meet all of them as of writing this): the Guard, the lost childhood friend; the Princess, another childhood acquaintance trying - but not always suceeding - to forge her own path; the Acolyte, an enigmatic priestess-to-be you don’t know much about; and the Ascendant - someone who is supposed to be an enemy turmed ally. The ROs are of set genders, but can be romanced by any MC.

What would you do, if you knew how it would all end?

BLUE-BLOODED is a romance, low-fantasy, and mystery interactive fiction set in a medieval world of magic, power, and vengeance. Unveil the secrets lurking in the shadows and behind the throne, and shape the fate of both your own life and the world.

SYNOPSIS

Your story begins where you die, and your fate is far more grim than the pretty fables recounted in books of fantasy and enchantment. With your untimely demise comes the world's end, all whilst you lock gazes with the person who caused it. But before you can proceed, you are thrown back to the beginning— back to day zero, in a tranquil village on the outskirts of a kingdom where magic vibrates in the very air and power is worn as a royal mantle. The day the herald’s prophecy comes to fruition, a knight arrives to your village, bearing the emblem of the Crown. By will of the Crown, you are forced to join the blue-bloods who are flocked like cattle into a carriage drawn by horses. You and your neighbor are taken from your homes to be trained within the imperial stronghold. Despite your predicament, there's something itching the back of your mind… Your neighbor’s eyes oddly remind you of something.

CHAPTER SEVEN: CHAPTER RELEASE

Hi Lovelies,

Can you believe it, Chapter Seven after a full year. I am just so grateful! Hopefully, Chapter Seven has a reasonable amount of content, and I can continue adding more and more as the story progresses! I know a few people will have questions about Chapter Eight, and I do have a complete outline written out, and I need to transform that into actual pages for writing. I also mentioned and am currently in the process of writing NBD, which has been so long since I've picked that story up, but I feel in a relatively good place to start again with that. My thoughts on Chapter Seven are at the bottom of the page.

I also have a full list of what has been added, changed, updated, etc.
