This story was insanely good, and can definitely go multiple ways. A part 2 would be awesome.
@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor8 ай бұрын
I have an idea for part 2, taking place shortly after this one with what Tobias promised (no spoilers). It should be epic

Definitely a good idea. Really hope it's at least considered. I know these are 1 off, stand-alone story's. And to be honest they all deserve another visit. This 1 in particular though.

I love your stories so much man. I listen to them constantly. I'm sure others have told you already but there are other channels on KZbin taking your stories and reuploading on to their channel, calling it their OC. I'm not going to say the channel names because I don't want to give them any more attention than they are already getting but it's not hard to find them.

I'm so glad you're here and enjoying the stories! And I've found a couple and had their channels nuked. They're popping up so fast that it's impossible to keep track of. Hopefully I'm putting out content fast enough that they can't keep up and people find my channel instead.

Wow, loved this story. I thought it was going to end at the school! I love this dude Tobias and his people! The whole religious aspect would be a common trope to this I believe. Their name sounds gangsta too haha I wonder if they will atay good or start burning "demons" at the stake. I read a book that was 200 years in the future and everyone was like this and it was basically medieval. This gave me similar vibes despite clearly being original. Really looking forward to this branch... all fear the knights of the purifiers haha
