Ima be real I've fucked up
I've written myself into a corner and have realized that I'm not too happy with how the storys going.
Which is why I'm gonna reboot it. Last chapter I wrote at thre end that I'd do some rewrites because I didn't like how uncooked the arc I was trying to do with the Bright family, and how the bullshit that brought Murrey into being the god of a cult.
That's just not SCP. And I realized it and was going to rewrite a bunch of chapters. Unfortunately I've been so blinded by my brain going "this is definitely a good idea" that I'd basically have to rewrite the whole story.
So I'm going to rewrite the whole story. If you read the chapters that I earlier rewrote (or are a new person and have somehow binged 25k words like a fucking legend in like 2 days). Then you would've seen what I was going for with introducing the Bright family their characteristics and such.
I was also gonna completely get rid of the cult alter the effects of some of the [Item]s Murrey has. And also make more use of the Serpents Hand. I completely botched this extremely developed faction in favour of "OC go brrrrrr" and man I feel stupid. I had a lot of lined up arcs and such but in my relapses of returning to monke have realized that they either "are too easy it's a joke", "Jody and his cult could completely backhand this threat no problem" and "this just ruins whatever balance of power exists.
SCP isn't just about the weird things and objects. It's about What Happens and sprouts up as factions and people try to harness, detain or eliminate these things all in their quest to further their goals. And I'm already playing with fire considering the balance of power in this universe is about as stable as your drunken father. So adding a cult with over 100 thousand members that can go toe to toe with another cult (The Church of The Broken God). That has existed for over a thousand years just ain't it chief.
But hey this is what first books are for. If you couldn't tell this is my first attempt at writing. My grammar and sentence structure really shows it.
But hey if you can't look at the first time you attempted something and went. "Man that sure was super fucking stupid, but still had some good ideas." Then either your literally perfect or can't see your past failures.

Anyway I'm not done with this as the title literally says "Reboot". I'm gonna keep this here for whoever wants to read it, don't know why considering the reboots gonna be better.
But hey this is what first storys are for, and damn if the 323 thousand people who gave this a look didn't mean something I'd shoot you whiel yelling about a rather certain Invincible meme.
Thanks for the support, like seriously your awesome, and I'll probably release the first chapter for the reboot literally like 5 minuites after posting this. This is because I'm just gonna rip the first chapter and tweak a few things to make it better.
I've also learned my lesson of trying to have an upload schedule for something I consider pretty low priority wise while I have responsibilities, crazy I know, so I'm going more freeform. I would say something like "I promise a chapter a week". But things happen and I don't wanna feel like an asshole who dosen't do what they promise because I ain't feeling it or shit just happens because god damn is my life eventful.
Seriously if you are that one guy or are the friend of that one dude that keeps getting into shit somehow despite doing fuck all for it to happen I am that person. Life knocks on my door and when I don't answer it slashes my fucking tires. So yeah no promises.
Anyway thanks for actually staying with my unreliable ass through this shitshow of a first story and you can expect more to come.
(I'm probably just gonna use the same image and put either "reboot" or "2 electric boogaloo" on it so it can be distinguished, or I'll just put (old) on this one and keep it the same on the other. Besides I don't make money off this so I can partake in a little lazyness when distinguishing the two. Probably should make an option for donations to be honest becase I'm gonna be putting way more effort into the next one. )
