I thought I'd give it a shot too.. this is for Writing Prompt #16: Kingdom Building. It's listed under 'fantasy' though maybe 'magic realism' might be more suitable...

Synopsis: Born with a curse of weakness, Remian Vin always had to depend on others to survive. One day, after a close encounter with death, to improve the lives of his loved ones, Remian set out to the Frontier…

It's quite different from Riku the Earth Knight and Dreamworlds, but it should be fun.

    mithun I'm thinking physically weak, something like Code Geass'. Doesn't mean he can't use OP gear.

        WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I'm interested in writing for the kingdom building contest but I'm worried about the rule requiring that I possess the copywrite. As a U.S. citizen I'm fairly sure I'm at least somewhat protected simply by posting my work in a readable format but I'm not sure. Do I need to register my work with the U.S. copywrite office and can I even. I've spent about 30 minutes on search engines trying to figure out if I can get a copywrite for a webnovel which is essentially a work in progress. I don't even know for certain whether I should attempt to register my work as a serial of some type or as a book. Any answers would be much appreciated.

            JamondAroth no need to get in all the legal stuff-- it's actually really simple. it's just Webnovel's way of saying, don't plagiarize other people's works.

                JamondAroth That's not how copyright works, my friend. Intellectual copyright is asserted the moment a work is created, without needing to be filed with the government. If it can be proved that someone owns intellectual copyright on a work (aka they can prove they wrote it), they can pursue copyright infringement in court. So all they're saying is you have to write your story entirely on your own, and not use copyrighted material from other authors.

                Hope that helped! :)

                    Chapters 2, 3 and 4 have now been released for The Jade Gate.

                    Also had to change the rating from G to PG, maybe in the future it becomes an M. Seems like I can't write a child friendly story. 🤦‍♂️

                      Synopsis: Albert Hawk never thought that one day, the faction he created would turn into his biggest enemy! Everyone always said, the strongest would rule the world, but this quote wasn't always true! He was the strongest in the continent, everyone afraid to him, and anyone who disobey him will die. But! Everyone who forced to submitted to him hate him to the core.
                      Then, they start to make a plan to betrayed Albert. They make a grand scale ambush and success to injured Albert till he didn't have much hope to survive!
                      Suddenly, a beautiful woman come and tried to save him. Albert and this woman just an acquaintance. They never close to each other or have any intimate relationship. So, Albert wondering, why would she helped him?

                      Is there a limit how much you can submit for this contest? Or can it be a small many chapters as you want? I don’t get how this works

                        Synopsis
                        Harper Martin woke to find the last seven years hadn’t happened. To prevent her death and those of her loved ones, she prepares to meet the end of the world. The magic virus means the fall of technology, can she amass enough power to survive among the magic users of the south, the dragons of the north, or the vampires in the east?

                        Does this sound interesting?
                        I think it qualifies for world building?

                          It sounds like an interesting world. Just note that World Building and Kingdom Building are two different concepts. World Building simply describes how an author constructs their setting. All novels have World Building.

                          Kingdom Building on the other hand means that the MC is literally developing some kind of state usually with a fixed geographic territory or setting; such as a city, country, nation, dungeon, colony, fleet of space ships etc.

                              I'm currently working on a take on typical VRMMOs set in America, not sure where it's going yet but it's going. First chapter will likely be up tonight, for those interested. (Tonight in Central Standard, GMT -6)

                                Vgnette oh by the way read your story I even wrote a review, it was nice.

                                    Vgnette my instincts tell me your going to win this. Just my opinion no one get mad. :)
