Early Skin Man 4

Click Here For The Book
The Early Version of Skin Man 4, usually just called Early Skin Man 4 or Old Skin Man 4, is the earliest form of Skin Man 4 with an ending. Early Skin Man 4 was mainly written by Landon and Seb, with added help from Nolan and Max. This version of the book was meant to be a short, meaningless additional book to the Skin Man Book Series after Skin Man 3 more or less ended the story. Because of this, Early Skin Man 4 has a very short, unfulfilling, and poorly thought-out story.
In the context of the Skin Man Universe, Early Skin Man 4 never happened, and is thus considered non-cannon.
In the real world, the production of Skin Man 4 started on February 10th, 2022, and later came to an end on August 26 of that same year, this is the ending this page explores. The book later continued development in early October of 2022, where many of the original plot beats were completely removed, and the story began to shape itself into the product that would later become Skin Man 4.
In the context of the meta-universe, however, the company that makes the Skin Man Books is said to have gone bankrupt, explaining the abrupt ending seen in this book. In the meta-universe, this is also why Skin Man 4 has all the ads it does, because, without them, the company wouldn't have any money to make the book.
==Prologue: Frat Toddler==
The prologue to Early Skin Man 4 is the foundation of what would later become Skin Man 4's first chapter. In it, the Wizard magics a young child, who then becomes Frat Toddler, an early version and name of Skin Man 4's "Hip Toddler."
Next, Sword Intruder from Skin Man 3 comes to pick up his child which he apparently has now. Interestingly, Sword Intruder stayed in this section of Skin Man 4 up until fairly near the end of development; September 22, 2023, when Seb changed him into the buff guy seen in the final version. Frat Toddler shows up and says, "My territory, my toddler yo. If ur a homo imma kill ya bro. Cuz ur mom's a fat frickin ho," which was changed later to remove the "homo" part. Sword Intruder then shoves his sword through Frat Toddler's skull.
While recovering in a Hospital, Frat Toddler contemplates homophobia some more, which was once again removed later. Then a random owl owl comes up and tells him to go to school.
==Chapter One: Skin man enjoys life with hit alternative rock and hiphop group gorillaz and jack black==
Chapter 1 of Early Skin Man 4 is the most disconnected from the final version of Skin Man 4. It vaguely works as an early version of Skin Man 4 - Chapter 3, but as the largest part of this version, it suffered the most from the most removal of slides in the transition to Skin Man 4.
A good example of these major changes is how the chapter starts. As the chapter title says, Skinman is hanging out with the hit alternative rock and hip-hop group Gorillaz, and then sees famous actor and songwriter Jack Black. The book then shows that during this time Frat Toddler is starting fights with other rappers at the supposed best nightclub on the island, which Skinman is then seen going to. 
Skinman says the club is cool but the rat battle is cool (which I can only assume comes from a typo of rap), and then it cuts to to rats fighting each other, somewhat like the rat battle shown in Skin Man 4 but without fire. Skinman comments on how violent the rat battle was, then Frat Toddler shows up and calls him a pussy. After a random Intruder scares away Frat Toddler, Skinman sees Jack Black again, who then sings the bridge to the Tenacious D song "Tribute."
==Chapter 2: Skin man goes to the backrooms==
In this chapter Skinman walks down the sidewalk and falls into the backrooms. Then the book ends.
This chapter, though very different, would eventually become Skin Man 4's second chapter after being switched around with Chapter 1.
==Closing Remarks==
Because Early Skin Man 4 isn't canon, unlike other Book Pages there is no need for a summary, instead, I will give some closing remarks.
It's best not to think of Early Skin Man 4 as its own book because it's not. Early Skin Man 4 is just that, and early, worse version of Skin Man 4. This page is just meant to show what Skin Man 4 could have been like if Landon and Seb never picked it up again, as it is interesting for that purpose. Skin Man 4 did have the longest production length of any Skin Man Book after all. But, just so we're all clear, even if long, Skin Man 4 is leagues better, more interesting, and more plot-driven than this.
