Well this is an interesting start to the series. I like your other one to but this one seems better thought out. I look forward to reading more
between terra and this...
WANT MORE FASTER NOW PLEASE THANKS
Havent fav'd an author in a long time, congrats on making a list that numbers in the low 20's...
Very Harry Dresden-esque, it may be sacrilegious,but I think this is evem better that Fate of Terra.
This Series shows GREAT promise!!!!!
One of THE BEST stories I've read on here. The story is AWESOME and the sex scene was incredible. KEEP 'EM COMING! Lol.
Wow, your story was way more entertaining than I had hoped, you created a very interesting universe and so far your magic system seems pretty intriguing. I like how you've introduced the main character and his many varied abilities, your concept for a necromancer so far is pretty damn interesting.
Having a necromancer for your protagonist has to be a pretty unique situation and you've really made it work. I like how you've given glimpses to his immense potential and made his unique situation even more extraordinary, I assume that he's probably the only mage that has ever properly bonded a demon, let alone a succubus, not to mention the first necromancer to properly summon a ragged man (which is another pretty interesting concept, we never think of necromancer minions being high in quality, more often rather going for sheer numbers)
The female characters you've introduced are already pretty interesting, a whole range of women who are interested in your protagonist with various reasons, I can only hope that Ian gathers those enthralling women into his harem. A necromancer with a succubus, a sorceress, a gang leader and his best friend, along with who knows what other women he'll encounter, will no doubt make an entertaining group.
Definitely looking forward to your next chapter.
I LOVE the way you took the plot.
Absolutely outstanding work!
Please keep the chapters coming.
What an unusual character. I wonder if he'll run into the were wolves again.
Cannot wait to read part two, already bookmarked and looking forwards to any future pieces
The plot is good, and original, gave it a 5 but try to rush the plot line less to get a 5 for the next installment.
I do like this story. The combination of an extremely literate author, a good central concept, and the idea of a magic-user whose darkness exists primarily in the minds and fears of others is one I don't often encounter, and I very much hope to see more of this story in the near future.
I read your other story for the plot alone! This seems like an even BETTER story! Keep writing! I don't care which story or even if you start a new one, I WILL be reading your stuff.
Dude, this is the best story on the site atm. Loving this loads and I can't wait for the next chapter :-)
this is a great start to an epic story i cant wait for the next chapter ;-p
That was awesome. I can't wait for the next chapter. Unfortunately for you I'm like most readers; I want the next chapter to be great, long, and already done. Seriously though, good job. Keep it up.
I'm really liking this story so far, it feels like a cross between harry potter and dexter hahaha
This was great, please keep it up. I would and will keep reading just for the plot, which has me hooked.
What a great read, I will be looking forward to the next chapter with great anticipation.
A great mixture of sex, magic & fantasy.
I can't wait or the next chapter. Please write it soon!
I love where this is already! (Not to mention the potential it has in the future.)
This was great! It takes off immediately and slams you with action and adventure. More! MORE!!!
Man this sure is a keeper. This is really a great story, you really have a knack for this type of stories at least. You should really give this story some thought , I would really like to see how this story unfold from now on.
Keep writing .....
Even without the sex, this is a good story. I can't wait for the next installment.
With a chapter 01 label and no updates for so long, I nearly passed it by, even though I like your other series.
I don't think I've ever read this good a story! Damn your good!
what a great pleasure is to know, there are this kind of stories here in Literotica my friend.
Sat down expecting to read a few lines of yet another horribly written fantasy epic. before I knew it I was finishing chapter two. you, my friend, have serious potential as a niche writer. I would say mainstream, but alas, mainstream people prefer such inane drivel...such as Stephen King.
I'm a voracious reader, and very particular about what I feed my mind. I would buy and read anything you wrote. I think this series should be a book.
What I liked...well thought out power use and consequences. Very believable characters, especially in the erotic scenes. Loved the improvisation on the succubus. No fake "Fuck my cunt with your monstrously oversize cock stud" bullshit. humorous and entertaining dialogue, without telling the story through dialogue.
What I would like to see...fleshed out action scenes. More descriptions of cause and effect in the environment. And definitely more chapters in this series.
Jeremy
I agree with the posts under this. You are a fantastic writer, I was expecting an undeveloped story with boring, flat characters, and poorly written sexcapades. THIS HAS NONE OF THAT!!!!! It has been a pleasure, now i only ask for 'MOAR'
We'll be waiting
MadLimey and the Rest of Us
Easily the best fantasy story I have read on this site, just finished part 3 and loved every minute of it. Looking forward to a further installment!
This is my fourth time reading through this series and it still excites me! I love it and can't wait till chapter 4!
Easily one of the best stories I've read on literotica. Read another comment for a more detailed critique, I'm off to read the next chapter!!
Ok, God you are too good at writing. Alex and the Demon was at the top of this site for a long time until it got taken off because the guy made it into a book and is currently making money off it. It's been renamed to "Good Intentions" by Elliott Kay best story I've ever read. You are just as good if not better. You should totally think about it publishing this though; you could make some serious doe. This is literally phenomenal.
your christmas new years break has gone on for far yoo long... get the fuck bach here you dark magic wielding succubi fucking bastard.
One Of the best stories i have read on any site I absolutely loved it!. The plot is great and contains plenty of action and the story is of the correct length too. This story is without a doubt a resounding success!!
Looking Forward to the next parts.
Ok, I read quite a few interesting stories here. This is definitely one of the best: good enough to compete with fiction books on NYT Bestsellers list. If anything, you should make Ian's journey longer (getting powered up with a revenant and a succubus in less than 10000 words is a bit much). I would definitely pay to read a book like that.
I was a bit skeptical about it in the beginning. The first part felt like much info telling and missed the atmosphere. But info dump doesn't scare me away. And after we left the boy and met the young man it completely enthralled me. A great idea, very well written and I don't have the time to say much more for I'm on my way to part 2. ;-D
Nice to see a story with the stereotypical "bad guy" at the forefront, I have enough trouble finding anything like that anywhere; glad I found yet another good one.
Even better that the character is sympathetic (enough at least).
I love details and rules in a story, and (with things on Literotica) plot, charcter, and tension ("Lit") make the sexy far more enjoyable ("erotica").
But gonna go read the rest right now!
This is seriously one of the best stories I've read on this site well done
I really like this story so far. The beginning was a little rushed, and some of the pacing seemed off, and differentiating between when characters said things had me tripped up sometimes...
BUT, overall, I'm enjoying this a hell of a lot. I love the historical reference, so much that I looked up the Siege of Rhodes to see how a Ragman could fit in. I like your characters, the supernatural ones especially. The Archive has great dialogue without being overbearing as a humor device.
All in all, I'm definitely going to keep reading. 5 Stars.
Does anyone know about a story like this? Whether it be long, short, erotic, non erotic. Anything similar to this. It's so great.
The path of the necromancer is one of my personal favorites on this site, but I don't think it'd be right for someone else to finish it. The story is his blood sweat and tears and deserves to be finished by him. Hope he comes back soon but until then I'll continue checking his profile sadly and longingly. Along with consistently rereading this arc.
Yet another amazing and cruelly unfinished story. My thanks to the author for sharing what they could with us.
Why do I continue to read this over and over again. It is absolute torcher knowing I'm not going to be able to finish.
Why do I find myself re-reading this story every few months? My do I put myself through such torture... Im not a masochist, but Intrepid_Fate's stories are written so well that I find myself continuously re-reading them... despite their incomplete status. They're so good that I don't regret reading them.
"You are" = "You're" ≠ Your.
It is quite jarring and annoying to read things like "until your eighteen."
...until my eighteen what?
Once might be a typo. But when it repeats, it actually interrupts the narrative like a pop-up window. It is like using the word "red" instead of "banana."
If you have spell-check or auto-correct, it can be as easy as typing the apostrophe.
I KNOW IM NOT THE ORIGINAL, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I AM AN ASPIRING WRITER AND AFTER SOME GOOD FEEDBACK, HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE IT UPON MYSELF TO FINISH SOME OF THESE AMAZING STORIES
JC
sorry caps lock and cba to retype it all again ahha
Any body have some stories that are similar. That are not the stories in the similar tab because I have read those already .
If you have a look at the Arwain Chronicles, Missing Dragon, Dream Drive, Going Feet First, A Slave to the Servants and anything my Etaski you will not be disappointed
JC
I have been waiting for it since the first time you mentioned about taking it over the first time so if you would provide us with some updates it would be nice
There is a series called "orphan" in the scifi section. Would you look at that one and see if you could continue it? It has 10 installments and stopped roughly in the middle of the series.
I have missed this story for quite some time and I am excited to see that it is back on the site!
Can anyone recommend some stories in the vein of this masterpiece?
That was awesome. I haven't read anything that good in a really long time. Please keep writing!
DONT’T FUCKING BOTHER.
Beyond excellent story, well written with great ideas and storyline. Then it just STOPS.
A DECADE later and the author hasn’t published anything at all in that time.
Waste of fucking time.
10 years later and both of his stories are incomplete. I heard that he was a drug dealer and got arrested.
Only three parts here but apparently a publisher was convinced to print this book. Search for James C Laird Path of the Necromancer.
You can read the next parts on Patreon or Wattpad at JC the continuer
JC the continuer is not Intrepid Fate. JC the continuer is a thief who takes other authors’ unfinished works, tacks his own ending on them, and then turns around and sells them for profit.
You lost me half way through page two. Parents abandoning a NINE year old come on now. I know it’s only fictional but really…
Wow great first chapter. Excellent world building, lots shown, lots still mysterious.
