Instructions
To read a Choose Your Destiny story, start by reading the first chapter. At the end of the chapter, there will be a decision point where you have to choose what happens next. Click on the link corresponding to your choice (not the “next chapter” button) and continue reading. Keep making choices until you reach the end of the book.
Each dungeon story is short and meant to be finished in one sitting.
Enjoy!
Warning: You may die often. When you do, you can go back to the beginning and make different choices.
Top tip: Your role is that of adventurer and you are not given a map. You should mentally keep track of where you are. If you get lost, you can try drawing your own map of where you’ve been.
Each choice is given a page number to help you remember where you are in the dungeon.

(First portal adventure: The Lost Crypts of Gothmog)
About the publishing schedule: The entire story has already been written. I just need to post it, but posting a lot of chapters in a short period of time triggers a spam filter on Scribblehub. I don't want my story to disappear so a few chapters will be posted every two days.

About The Lost Crypts of Gothmog:

Choose Your Destiny novels are full of surprises. Every choice you make could end up in danger, meet new friends, or discover hidden treasures.
The best part about these novels is that you can go back and make different choices to see what would have happened if you had taken a different path. So dive into one today and see where your choices take you!
Genre: Pick Your Own Adventure and Choose Your Path, Multiple Endings.
Note: This is not the poll type.
This is my first time writing a branching story. I hope you like it!
- When I was a child, I used to love reading Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) novels. I borrowed a few paperbacks from the school library, and they were always great fun to read.
- Recently, I read The Warlock of Firetop Mountain by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone. It's similar to CYOA novels, but with more of a focus on adventuring, exploration, inventory management, and battles. My story was inspired by that.
- Please let me know if there are any errors. I will fix them ASAP.
- Thanks for reading!
By the way, don't think of each choice as a chapter. It's more like a page in a CYOA book or a short section of text rather than a chapter. Here's an example of what a choice looks like in The Warlock of Firetop Mountain:
The text is pretty short per choice/branch and once everything is posted, you should be able to finish the whole story in one sitting!
