I probably am not in the right frame of mind to be reviewing such a story as am very grumpy so will apologise if I seem harsh. But this requires some major editing and checking theres just way too words where they shouldn't be words which are not properly in their place and words that are missing letters and thus make no sense in the current sentence. I'm not sure if it's a real first chapter or its missing a proper beginning and I question the setting. Is this guy playing a roleplaying video game or fantasy video game, something like that? And I say this not to be rude, but to then find out the guy is a university student just bewilders the mind. If it is a video game, thats fine it just maybe needs to better spelled out.
And I'll quote a bit from the story just to show you where some of the mistakes lie and why it requires a more thorough checking.
- Sentence makes no sense.The dark cloud stopped only a few feet from Stephen’s position atop the hill, after the dust settled on a dark black horse with a fiery red mane and deep green eyes was a tall man with flaming red hair just like his mount.
- Mighty not might. Also dialogue needs improvement“You will never be able to defeat the might King of the Gerudo’s Ganondorf”
and drewmount and draw a large spear
Sentence doesn't make sense.The larger one of the bunch had the left horn broken off and adorned on his shoulder were monstrous plates with rusty spikes planted on them; two or three human sized skulls were skewered on them like kebabs.
I don't feel thats necessary.Stephen’s mum walked quietly out of the room and down towards the garage where the shining white Holden commodore was sitting. Stephen’s family was going down to Gunnedah as they normally did during the September holidays, but Stephen was staying home since he needed to go back to university soon.

And I spotted much more than this while reading.

But this would be my non-bullshit way of going about doing the rest of this story. My advice just keep what you are doing and keep posting all the chapters, do not worry at this stage about grammatical mistakes; or incorrect punctuation; or spelling errors; or words where they shouldn't be; or the dialogue or anything else etc.
My advice is keep posting the story as you come up with your ideas and then once the story is completed and I mean fully complete the story. Then go through every chapter, every word, every sentence and make sure you they sound right, read them once, twice maybe even three times until they are perfect and post the story again chapter by chapter.
So once you complete the story, start fixing things where they need to be fixed and post the story chapter by chapter again. This may sound exhausting, the fact that you'll have to do the story twice. But I feel it would be the better way to go. So don't stop doing the story. Just realise its going to take time, checking, checking and even more checking, reading it one, two, three or more times but the end result will be a much better story. So take my suggestions on board but worry about completing the story before looking at fixing mistakes.
