Welcome to Smartboy Writing!
I’ve always had an interest in writing and decided to take to the internet to finally get my writing out there and see what people think.
I pull inspiration from a lot of different areas. Dungeons and Dragons is a big one. As I have ran many campaigns or played in campaigns that didn’t last long. Some stories are an exploration into NPCs or characters that I didn’t have much of a chance to play as. I also draw from movies and games that I have enjoyed. Exploring Sci-Fi horror has been very fun and difficult challenge.
I like to explore ideas of identity and purpose in my writing. Following a character’s journey through the highs and lows. Though the answers and reasons may not always be black and white. These are flawed people. I hope my writing reflects that.
I want to thank you for taking the time to read and I hope you like what I have to share!

P.S. This is my first time doing this. Comments are enabled for the posts. And each upload (next part of a story) will be a post. Feel free to give me feedback on anything in those!
Uploads
I haven’t exactly figured out when I want to do uploads. I have already started uploading one story and I have another one in mind to upload alongside it. Give people two different things to read if they wish.
I am thinking of a Bi-weekly upload schedule for the first story. The second one I will figure out later. No matter what I will update this to reflect the upload schedule and I will also add a note to each story summary telling people the upload schedule for each individual tale.
Rite of Whip and Suffering
“I am not here to save you. That can’t be done. No mercy, redemption, nor peace. I can only offer you another path. One that you must endure alone.”
Based on a DnD character I played for a short time. I had a vision in mind and she didn’t fit with the overall theme and style of the campaign. Instead of just letting the idea sit on the sidelines I figured I would explore it further in a written format.
It isn’t written like a standard story. Each post will be an excerpt. A short piece that captures a moment in her journey. Because of this, the parts won’t always be uploaded in chronological order. I want to focus more on the moment to moment parts. Rather than a huge overarching story.
*Content Warning* This tale does not shy away from cruel and brutal things. Death is common and some characters will experience some form of torture. The start of this story is the backstory of the main character. She is tortured and goes through some significant pain and suffering.
