Welcome to The Beasts of War!

  What is The Beasts of War?

  The Beasts of War is a multimedia story set within a fantasy version of World War 2, following the story of Damian Vearez, a teenager attempting to follow in the footsteps of his war-hero father, as he is cursed with power and thrust into a war beyond his reckoning, in this exciting tale boasting climactic showdowns, epic battles, wholesome young love, heart-wrenching drama, and plenty of fun, lighthearted moments in between, in an exciting story that will constantly keep you guessing what will happen next.

  This story is my pride and joy. One I've been crafting in my mind in some form or another, since I was a little kid. It’s no exaggeration to say I’ve taught myself to write, draw, and animate entirely to bring this story to life in the best possible way I can. And after several years of study and private attempts at rewrites, I finally believe I have the skills to bring it out to the world. Hopefully it gives you the same enjoyment as I've had imagining it.

  Multimedia? What's that mean?

  I am not just a writer, but a decent artist and animator as well. I've learned all this with the single-minded focus of bringing this story to life in the best way possible–and perhaps stand out a bit while doing so.

  That means this webnovel includes author-made illustrations and a few animated GIFs as well (used in a way that don't intrude on the core writing, of course). I’ve been practicing for a while to make sure I can deliver quality art and storytelling on a reasonable time frame..

  The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  Furthermore, it is my long-term plan to eventually make full animations as I slowly attain the necessary assets and models needed to do so over the course of writing and drawing this webnovel. This is more of a long term plan though and until most of the first book is done I will be focusing on the webnovel and writing as the priority.

  How the schedule will work

  (Extra note: I've decided to participate in the April 2025 Writathon. This means illustrations will have to take a backseat until it's over, but part one's story will be done faster. I will try to use what designs I have as placeholder art for now. I'll return to previous chapters later to add art retroactively so excuse the lack of it on some of the latter chapters for now.)

  I will be aiming for weekly releases once the initial batch of chapters is out. The chapters themselves are meant to be episodic in nature and are going to be longer than many other webnovels. This means they will be split up (at natural transition points) in order to make the reading experience easier and to give me time to actually keep up consistent releases.

  Unfortunately, I can't be too assured of the schedule as I am still new at this, and will need some time to get my bearing. I also still need to work a full-time job, and even with spending all my free time on this project, I only have a few days to work on it a week. Please be assured that I would never quit on this project entirely, and though I may slow down, little more than my untimely death would prevent me from continuing it to its planned conclusion.

  If you enjoy the story and want more, faster, please consider donating and subscribing. Every bit of money I get will help me spend more time writing and making art, and help me achieve my dream of doing this full time.

  Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the adventure!
