Deus: Nightmare Autarch, By protagonist, you mean main character, right?
Hmm... I was recently reading five chapters of your story, Nightmare. It's been really good, but I think I've spotted one mistake- I forgot where it was, though. As for the idea, it's a bit similar to your first chapter of Nightmare, only that the character is dragged against his will instead of deciding, right? Then you said that the trickiest part is the middle. You know, almost absolutely nothing is original in my opinion. Even my story could have been invented or told in the past without my knowing. Only few ideas are created.
...I don't know what else to say. I normally think that only God knows about the future. But then again, I might be thinking too much in depth. That's why when I talk to someone, I think that my comment is confusing. >.<
