Chapter 3: "Shlaukopf" of Book 1 is now on the site! Hope you enjoy!
-
Hello, everyone! I'm back with a new chapter in Book 1. I've given the outline of the story some thought and I wanted to expand the scope of Book 1 to be more inline with what I have planned for the other books. As it stood before, Book 1 was the more boring as it was all set-up and all taking place in pretty much the same locations with Richtofen and maybe Maxis a little too as the only main characters. I am broadening the scope to have the stories of Peter McCain, Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, and Takeo Masaki be more expanded on, and I am proud to release the first chapter involving Peter McCain, which ties directly in with the adjacent chapters. I would also recommend re-reading the other chapters as well as I have added new information to further flesh them out and have corrected some errors in later chapters. Anyway, without further ado, here is Chapter 3 of Book 1, Schlaukopf. Also, there is a good amount of German in this chapter, so if someone fluent in the language can let me know if I am way off on some of the grammar and how I could fix it, that would be great.

Hey everyone, really long time no see. I have good news and bad news. The good news is, despite the hiatus, I am not giving up on this project. Honestly, I think about potential story threads and character encounters all the time. But, with every yin, there is a yang, and the truth is I am overwhelmed with school work more so than previous semesters, and for that reason the hiatus will probably continue. It seems worrying that I have not released a full chapter since July 26th, if you could even count that Monty intro as a full chapter. But there is a multiverse chapter centered around Takeo that I did some work on during a short bout of free time, but I have had very little of it since to finish it. I hate to just pop in, empty-handed, to say that I'm busy again. So I will leave you with some behind-the-scenes preliminary stuff I've written that will hopefully spark some interest in the project again. As always, criticisms and suggestions are encouraged. Better to get them out now than after I've already written them I suppose. First I present a rough draft of the first chapter of Honor's Suffering. It is meant to tell Takeo's story at Division 9's Island facility right up until the events of Zetsubou No Shima. You will notice it ends very abruptly because I had to go to class and never got around to finishing it. So note this is a first draft and partially incomplete. This is the outline for chapters 1-7 of Honor's Suffering, going into detail on the plot of each chapter. I was really looking forward to writing this one and hope to at some point soon. Here is the outline for the first 8 chapters of Book 3. I wrote these out when I was really invested in Victis' story, and I really did look forward to expanding on them since they are not characterized in the game very well and I have a lot of freedom to take them where I want. Here is the outline for all 45 chapters of Book 1 after chapter 7. Yep, I planned that far ahead. These are fairly basic but that is mostly because I based it around the events of the timeline. I also have the last set of chapters for Book 4 planned out in detail. Why am I not showing them here? Well, they're too awesome to be shown as just an outline. I think the experience would be spoiled if I just revealed what I had planned for them as they have me very excited. So maybe a while down the road when I get around to Book 4 and get to the end, I will be able to write out those chapters. Anyway, I hope this all made up for the hiatus, just a little bit. I am not giving up on this project. I am already too invested. Let's just hope Treyarch's next game doesn't flip everything I think I know upside down again

Thanks! And I do vaguely remember the Coming Home line but the latest version of the old storybook doesn't have the line either and I'm not sure why. Where was the line specifically? I'm guessing near the end as he's trying to talk to the natives. I think my reasoning for changing that was to add in the "destruction of your world" line since we now know the Shadowman is in his head. But I'll fit in that line too because I agree it was fitting. EDIT: I looked through the original and the line was actually in the Rebellion chapter when they complete Griffin Station.

Hey guys, I'm back with some new chapters I've been working on (Shocking, I know.) Here's Chapter 5: "Infernal Rite", Chapter 6: "Great Science", and Chapter 7: "Extraterrestrial". ALSO, here is Chapter 1 of Book 4, entitled "A Guide To The Universe". I wouldn't consider this an official start to the Primis story, as I am still mapping that out. But I went ahead and made this introductory chapter starring Monty, and I really just wanted opinions on how I portrayed Monty and if I did a good enough job in establishing how the multiverse works in layman's terms. I want the chapter to be a good explanation of the Keepers, the Apothicons, Agartha, the Aether, and the fractured multiverse, and I am no expert on the subject. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable on the subject can offer a better way to explain it. As always, I will be back.
-
I'm most intersted in doing Book 4 (Primis) and Tales right now. But I may mix it up just to keep myself from getting into a rut.
-
Well folks, here is chapter 4 of Book 1, Success: http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/story/book1ch4 I'm sorry for the really long wait and very slow releases. Truth is I think I'm a little burnt out writing about Ultimis, probably because it's pretty much all I've written about so far. I think I'm going to start writing in a non-linear fashion, just writing what I feel most interested in at the moment, because I think that makes them better and I should write more often that way. I also want to slow down the releases a bit, and try to release several chapters at once. Starting a chapter then dropping it for something else can be frustrating and jarring for the reader and I want to try and release clusters of chapters that make something satisfying rather than one at a time with a completely unknown amount of time between. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and don't worry, I will get back to Book 1 when I'm back in the mood. I have a basic outline of every chapter I want in the entire book.

Chapter 3: "Revelations" is now up on the Storybook section of the site! Months after the incident involving the MTD and a dead man rising from the dead, Doctor Richtofen sits down for lunch with his colleagues only to uncover a secret which has the potential to affect the plans of his contemporaries in the Illuminati.

Somewhere around 180 for men and 160 for women. The issue is corrected now with a new number. Thanks! And the error should be fixed now.
-
I swear I googled the average male weight and that's what it was, since I don't know metric well. I probably read the number backwards or something. As for Mississippi, that is definitely a part of it, and also I wanted to illustrate the diversity of Group 935 when it began.

It's been a long hiatus but I needed some self-motivation to get myself writing some brand new content in areas I've treaded before, but it is wholly worth it, I believe. I am proud to launch version 2 of the storybook with the release of the prologue, Chapter 1: Induction, and Chapter 2: Abrecadavre. The prologue is mostly unchanged but with a definitive date on the timeline I went a different direction with the purpose of Sergeant Raines being there, Chapter 1 has only a small portion of reused content, with a good amount of new content and dialogue to go along with the date as well. Chapter 2 is completely new apart from the name, and I really enjoyed creating it from scratch. I hope everyone enjoys the new version of Book 1 going forwards. I'm hoping to make the chapters longer and more detailed with much better dialogue and character development now that I don't have to worry as much about where everything takes place.
-
Well folks, with the awe-inspiring release of the official timeline, a huge portion of my project has been rendered incorrect down to its very roots, and nearly everything will have to be re-written. I am actually glad this happened, as I have been looking for an excuse to re-write Book 1 to fit my more current writing style and to explore more events. With the new content revealed in the timeline I have plenty to work with, and also having dates for EVERYTHING is SUPER helpful and I want to hug Jason Blundell for that. Because this timeline is so to-the-point and thorough, my storybook has become antiquated as a teaching tool for newer members of the community, and so I will focus my writing more on making a narrative as opposed to trying to connect a bunch of misplaced dots, which this timeline has done so perfectly for me. So what about all the work that exists currently? Well, maybe it's the hoarder in me, but I'd like to keep it around just to look back at. Here is the original versions of Book 1, Book 2, and Tales from the Multiverse. These will remain untouched. In Tales I have added the small outline of events I had noted down that I wanted to do with Chapter 5: Containment, and Chapter 4 was actually finished and ready to be released. But with the characters actually surviving in this timeline, I have to scrap what was left. I should begin outlining the second version of Book 1 sometime soon. However, I will be wary of the likelihood of even more mind-blowing information to come in the remakes present in Zombies Chronicles. Anyway, thanks for the support everyone. This is a new dawn for the storybook. The road is long and dark, but I know where we are going.

Hello all, sorry for the long wait! Here is chapter 3 of Attack on the Pentagon, "FIVE". The VIPs have returned to the War Room, and the President has devised a daring plan to contact the outside world, and potentially escape with their lives. Should finish up the last two chapters somewhat soon, then return back to Book 2. No promises on dates though, as final exams approach. And remember: "Ugh...need some beans for the chowder here!" - John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 1963
-
Oh hi I didn't see you there. Hey, while you're here, I've got a new chapter of Attack on the Pentagon. Where? Oh, on the storybook section of the site, right here. As the four VIPs enter the laboratories hidden away beneath the Pentagon, they discover dark secrets hidden away from the world for decades, and they continue their efforts to contain the outbreak, and to warn the world of the terror waiting to be unleashed. Also I have fixed some grammar issues with chapter 1, and updated a discrepancy regarding the DEFCON level of the Pentagon. Plus I changed the film reel narrator in book 2 chapter 16 voice back to Maxis since that whole debacle was resolved and it turns out I am not crazy. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. I leave you with these words of wisdom: "Stay cool, hippies!" - Richard M. Nixon, 1963
-
Ah-hah! So I'm not crazy. I forgot about the Revelations reels being related. Makes me wonder why the voice in Kino is so different.
-
Nah, but seriously folks, here is Chapter 1 of Attack on the Pentagon. Four of the world's most influential figures meet inside the Pentagon to discuss a peaceful end to a Cold War, but only find themselves fighting for their lives to survive a horror long-since thought to be gone. Join John F. Kennedy, Robert McNamara, Fidel Castro, and Richard Nixon as they uncover secrets about the source of this apocalypse, as well as secrets about each other. Also, I have updated Chapter 16: "Space Race", as it has been brought to my attention via MysteryMachineX's first video in his series that the film reel narrator is not Maxis at all, but an unknown individual. I have updated the chapter accordingly, while also fixing some grammatical and wording issues. I swear that voice was Maxis! Must be a case of the Mandela effect. Anyway, this also means parts of Book 1 are going to have to be reworked. However, I am holding off on updating Book 1, as there is a LOT I want to add, so for the time being consider it non-definitive. And if you ever want to re-read the fun April Fools chapter, it will be up here.
-
Chapter 17: "New Direction" is now up on the site here! This is a real special chapter, indeed.
-
Chapter 16: "Space Race" of the CoDz Storybook is now up on the site here.
-
Chapter 16: "Space Race" is now up on the site here. With a limited supply of Element 115, Edward Richtofen must create a new plan for returning to Griffin Station using clues present in this new era as well as his own intuition, all while deceiving his three odd comrades. Lots of fun little story bits here! After this I should be writing the multiverse chapters centering around "Five", and everyone will be happy to know I already have those chapters outlined in terms of events, so look forward to that!
-
Chapter 15: "The Room" is now up on the site here. Now well acquainted with Group 935's Theater Facility, our crew must now utilize the abandoned MTD prototype present in the theater if they are to escape with their lives intact. Also, made some teensy-weensy changes to the Morg City arc, mostly grammar, fixed some continuity where I had said Campbell had never boxed before when he just hasn't boxed for 18 months prior, and changed Devil's Donuts to Devil-O Donuts (Finally got to play some Shadows of Evil recently, still as great as I remember.) But I digress. Enjoy the chapter everyone!
-
Thanks for the input, I will look back over the chapters for errors and correct the Ruby Rabbit/Burlesque mistake. Haven't play Shadows as much recently as I would like to. As for the reporter's death, the cipher by Richtofen explaining what happened to the reporter mentions Richtofen stabbing him near where the truck and crate are, so I felt it made sense for him to die there. As for him being propped up in the chair in Canals or Footlight (Can't remember), I feel that may just be the cursed version of Morg City, however, I did originally plan to write a part at the end of Chapter 7, with Jack Vincent and the other cops propping him up in the chair and leaving him to die, possibly after interrogating him while he bled out. I may go back and add that in the end. There will be a Shadows of Evil arc as well whenever I get around to Black Ops III era, showing the SoE characters right before the map begins, as well as the events in the map itself.

The Tales from the Multiverse arc "Whispers of Morg City" is now on the storybook section of the site. Here is a link to Chapter 1: http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/story/morgcitych1/
There are seven chapters total. Hope everyone enjoys!
-
Yep! I quite look forward to writing more about them in the future. Also, Chapters 6 and 7 of Whispers of Morg City are now up on the site. Chapter 6: "Persons of Intrigue" is here. Chapter 7: "The Alley" is here. The Reporter sets out to find information on the four individuals of Shadows of Evil fame that Mr. Rapt is interested in. He finds himself caught between two sides in a conflict he knows nothing about. This concludes the Whispers of Morg City arc. I hope everyone enjoyed! I know I enjoyed writing it. I will now be returning to writing Book 2.
-
Chapters 4 and 5 of Whispers of Morg City are now up on the site. Chapter 4: "Marketplace" is here. Chapter 5: "The Order" is here. After weeks of becoming acclimated to Morg City's night life, the young Californian reporter discovers a strange disease corrupting the people of Waterfront District, and sets out to find answers on its origins. Thanks for reading everyone! Things have been very busy for me lately and they don't seem to be slowing down. Hopefully Spring Break will give me some more time to write.
