This Chapter is regarding all the current changes made between Ch. 1 to Ch. 19. The key changes are summarised at the top, below are the notes in detail. This is a temporary chapter until all amendments have been done and here to keep you all posted on the progress.
Details on my slight delays are in the A/N at the bottom of the chapter.
Key Changes:
-Changed Capsule edition to Forerunner Edition.
-Chester’s friends are employed under Augurium Esports, a separate company under the Branford Group.
-Added information about class awakening.
As with many MMO’s in the past, in Caelus Online players can choose one out odf a selection of different classes, each one having its own specialties and skills. Upon reaching Lv 75, a player can then awaken their class which for most players will follow a set path, while others who manage to meet certain hidden conditions can acquire unique variations of their class. The hidden variations of each class have a slightly higher number of skills available to them and occasionally some unique traits making them more desirable to acquire.
-Expanded information on Titles.
-Titles come in two types, standard titles which are awarded to players for achieving a certain feat available to most, if not all players, and unique titles which are awarded to players usually for being the first player to achieve something or for completing something most players are unable to. Unique titles like -The First Player- usually give small rewards like a few stat points or a useful item like a health potion, however Astaria had never seen something so useless as ‘a slice of cake’ as a reward.
-Added in clarification that the system menus are operated mentally.
-Changed Hunger and Fatigue to increase from 0% instead of falling from 100%.
-Added full skill descriptions and detailed information, skills can be found in Chapters 7, 9, and 18.

-As with many MMO’s in the past, in Caelus Online players can choose one out odf a selection of different classes, each one having its own specialties and skills. Upon reaching Lv 75, a player can then awaken their class which for most players will follow a set path, while others who manage to meet certain hidden conditions can acquire unique variations of their class. The hidden variations of each class have a slightly higher number of skills available to them and occasionally some unique traits making them more desirable to acquire.
-Updated description of Astaria
-Her beautiful waist-length golden hair cascades down her back, shimmering in the light that reflects from each strand, while her facial features were as otherworldly as the goddess standing next to her. The woman’s expression is neutral yet still shows off her full cherry red lips and a slight flush of red on her cheeks, easily able to take the breath out of any man why lays eyes on her.
Looking down at her body, Chester could see that it is as stunning as her face, with perfect proportions that cannot be hidden by the slightly baggy starting clothes that adorn her figure. Chester’s eyes are drawn to her decently sized chest that is neither too big nor too small, while also looking at her legs which are long and slender while her waist is tight.
-Word count +200.
Chapter 6
-General grammatical amendments.
-Expanded information on Titles.
-Titles come in two types, standard titles which are awarded to players for achieving a certain feat available to most, if not all players, and unique titles which are awarded to players usually for being the first player to achieve something or for completing something most players are unable to. Unique titles like -The First Player- usually give small rewards like a few stat points or a useful item like a health potion, however Astaria had never seen something so useless as ‘a slice of cake’ as a reward.
-Changed the name of Character Sheet to Character Status Page
-Changed format of the Character page.
-Changed title ‘-The First Player-‘ to ‘-The First Immortal Warrior-‘
-Added descriptions to all of the stats.
- Thinking back to her stats, she was quite pleased. Astaria’s INT or Intelligence increases her mana pool by 10 for every point added, and WIS or Wisdom increases her spell damage, power, and range. As a mage WIS and INT are her main stats, so for them to have 20 points already was an incredible start.
The additional AGI or Agility helps Astaria when using her staff and sword in close combat, while the additional VIT or Vitality will give her a little more leeway in how reckless she can be while fighting being able to take more damage before dying.
-Updated WIS to increase spell range and power on top of the standard damage increase.
-Added in clarification that the system menus are operated mentally.
-Word count +200.
Chapter 7

If you're being this anal about fixing errors in early chapters, which as a reader I appreciate the clarifications. I'd hate to see how much you'd fret over actually doing the drunken author side stories lol.
haha, dw, im not being that anal about it. there were just a lot of errors and a lot of things that I wanted to change. like most paragraphs ended up being rewritten, I might as well have just started from scratch lol.
As for drunken chapters.... what is editing? Do you drink it with a pinch of salt and lemon? 🤣
@Spactacular I wish you could drink editing, would make getting drunk cheeper 😂
@PeanutGallery Aint that true haha
If doggo had a class in game named after them it would be Cat Hunting Berserker also thanks for the edited chaps gonna see if I can muster up the will power to read the edits since I have three weeks straight of exams to get through
Yeah, no kidding, berserker is very accurate, before she did her legs in she would launch herself onto the windowsill and be barking like she was possessed.
I appreciate the commitment to go through the old chapters! I have not fully gone through them for errors, the last thing I do is use TTS to listen to everything which highlights a lot of errors missed, like for example using the same word twice, little errors that gets past gramerly etc, and that takes up a fair amount of time so I have skipped doing so from ch6 if I recall so I can get the updates out first and regular chaps out for everyone. that said there should be very few errors now, so its nothing big 😅
Best of luck with the exams, I know they are a bi*** but after they are finished you will appreciate the free time all the more. I know i did until i was hit with another exam a week after. Private school sucks.
Hooman?? Still alive?... Last online: jun-26-2023 5'31PM
You're alive!!!!!! And rip the doggo, is she named Iron Fist?
yes
Ngl, i have to agree,she does seem a little… headstrong 😂
Seems like the is getting a new name now haha, but in all seriousness, now you mention it their personalities are quite similar in the 'don't think, just charge' attitude haha
Damn you, teasing us with a legendary loot box and not opening it
haha, there is a time and place for everything.
I have also delayed it slightly for a number of reasons. First, since the game has not 'officially launched' and Astaria is aiming to get publicity, the server announcement that comes from getting the first legendary equipment now will only reach some of the 5,000 current players on the 2nd day of early access + anyone else who is paying attention to in-game events, while if it's opened on the day of the official launch the notification will reach most of the 600,000 new players.
Second, if the notification is sent out in the same couple of hours as her previous ones, it will mainly reach people from the same group of time zones, so fewer people on the opposite side of the world who will mainly be sleeping won't see anything.
And lastly, I'm an evil Ba**** who wants to keep you all hanging on the edge of your seats anticipating the chapter its finally revealed 😈
Gimme food hooman
Count 2
Been busy and fallen behind the planned schedule, however, I do have a morsel for you! Head over to the glossary, I am just adding a map I made in between editing that depicts the Alennos Kingdom that will give you an idea of the layout!
Hooman give me food!
Good hooman. I approve
ngl, I'm unsure what to say to this XD
Thanks for the update!
A part of me was worried you forgot about this site since I follow an author on another story site and he has forgotten to update chapters in the past
Author has been putting a * at the end of the chapters he has finished editing, so you can keep track of how far he has reached if you check the glossary. I have been checking in every few days and at first it was like 1 chapter a day, then a few. Today it seems like 4 were finished since the 5th, the forums chapter has no edits currently. 🫡
Yeah, fret not, if I'm going to hide from you guys, I will at least let you all know in advance. I'm not that mean!
@PeanutGallery why do I feel like one of those guys whose girlfriend is always looking over their shoulder.... 🤣🤣
Prenditi il tuo tempo
I shall, but I will aim to get this all finished quickly, I know many people are waiting for the next proper chapter!
