SCHEDULE (Updated 2/12/25):

I write six chapters a week. 4 chapters for Soldier Seraphim Tier. One chapter is for Town Builder, and one chapter is for World Sphere. TWO Chapters of A Soldier's Life are moved from Seraphim Tier to general viewing by all other tiers on Mondays

I am always editing a book for publication as well...right now (Feb 2025), Soldier Book 4 is getting 6 chapters edited a week.

(CLICK FOR EARLIER CHAPTERS➡) Starship Engineer (30 CHAPTERS AHEAD)

(CLICK FOR EARLIER CHAPTERS➡) First World Sphere (30+ CHAPTERS AHEAD) 1/week

Town Builder (15 CHAPTERS AHEAD) 1/week, 4 weeks on, 1 week off so 4/month roughly

(CLICK FOR EARLIER CHAPTERS➡) An Incubus Life (50+ chapters ahead): this story has three chapters left to finish book two but is on hiatus

The interactive map of Desia for A Soldier's Life is available below.  You need to open it in Azgaars   https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/?source=pwa

This map will be the cannon for the world of Desia.  I will edit it as the story progresses and hope to have author notes for places for subscribers.

Other Incomplete Stories I Have Written While Experimenting.  Links by clicking the title.  I know the titles are terrible.  The grammar is atrocious - fair warning.  Even now that I have purchased Grammarly, my stories need lots of editing.  At least you know an AI didn't write them!

Life in a Game (8 chapters, 318 pages)  This is my first attempt ever at writing stories, I think.  At least the first, I did not delete.  It is a sci-fi western to start with the MC inserted into a game.  It quickly moves into a space Empire-building game.

Transmigration Story (24 Chapters, 326 pages)  Death by progression tables!  It's an attempt at making a LitRPG feel more like real life.  MC is transported and has to find his way.  I really liked the concept and it was the basis for my later work.

Rehistory (36 chapters, 458 pages) World-ending by aliens so friendly aliens send MC back in time to bring magic to the world before evil aliens arrive.  Tried to do research and make it realistic.  My locked-in-the-house pandemic project.  Another attempt at realism by my in the LitRPG genre.  MC is very OP, and if you like an incubus life, maybe you would like this one.

Average Heroing (6 chapters, 50 pages) I admit this is one of my favorite stories that I never continued.  It did not get a lot of love from readers.  MC reincarnated in a magical world from birth to growing up.  It is an old trope, but my spin on it was the MC was not all-powerful, just unique.

On My Own (1 chapter, 10 pages) This was my first non-LitRPG, non-transmigrated, non-reincarnation story.  It was supposed to be a fantasy tale.  MC parents are killed and he gets stronger to avenge them.  I thought the start of this was some of my best writing (except the stupid title)

New Lease of Life (12 chapters, 56 pages) MC finds a device that allows him to travel to other worlds.  This one was well received, and I had a number of requests to add to it but alas, I can only work on four stories at a time, and that is difficult.

Transported to Another World (7 chapters, 70 pages)  this is a mash up sci-fi, litRPG, fantasy.  MC is transported into a system governed setting.  It was an experiment.

Novice Gamer-A Lit RPG Progression Story [will post here. can be found on RR] (21 chapters, 231 pages) this was another pandemic writing experiment where tables got out of hand

Worlds (1 chapter, 270 pages) never broke this into chapters.  can be found on RR.  This was the first attempt at the Transmigration title.

I have a suggestion for the name of book nine Soldiers Life The long way to Raella

DB Laing

2025-10-30 21:05:14 +0000 UTC

Tonight I have been reading other peoples ideas about evie's future role in the soldiers life , I think evie and lexi have important roles to play . Both are still young and not trained fully but wil be a huge asset in the future battles to come . Eryk will be protecting and training evie along with elaro castille even alhar and kyrenic and others .Evie and lexi wil be more important to the story after the nashasari demon world gate is destroyed because when the demon is destroyed I don't believe the nashasari threat will be over. Also the lich emperor wil try to take corrupt control evie at first but when if that fails he wil try to destroy her because the combination of a necromancer with the affinity of 92 and a healer with spirit affinity of 88 could lead to his destuction .Evie's wish to imprint slow aging spellform might never happen rare magic affinity essensces are tremendously difficult to find and evie's convergence affinity is just bit more than half of eryk's meaning she will not get the huge boost in affinity that eryk does so a dungeon item that slows aging might her only option

Poon, if you go to Patreon settings, it should be able to remove you. If not, I would recommend attempting to connect with Patreon directly to recompense you. Always ask for some recompense for their mistake, like 3 free months or something... sometimes it works.

Aspiring Sage

2025-09-08 08:49:46 +0000 UTC

Hi, This is Poon. I am being double billed for 25.00 twice a month for Once on the first and then on the eighth. I think it is because I upgrade in March then it somehow removed me from full service, but still receive the email of chapters. I saw only 5.00 member so I upgrade again. Now I am being charged twice. My last 4 number on my charge card is 8378. Thanks

Poon Yee

2025-09-08 05:08:06 +0000 UTC

Great work I enjoy the series alot , an essense table with descriptions of magical common uncommon and rare affinites might be useful you described nature affinity as optical leaves perhaps red green leaves swirling

DB Laing

2025-08-24 16:17:16 +0000 UTC

I am always a day behind, but close to it. About 1200 words into last nights chapter…probably 3 hours or so

Erick Thiemke

2025-08-22 20:14:56 +0000 UTC

Thank you so much for the schedule. I get anxious when posts end on a cliffhanger. Your schedule keeps me sane. Wish other authors would be so considerate!

2025-08-22 20:10:03 +0000 UTC

I think that is the nature of Cons. I think I got whacked harder than most. Still I am about 10 times better after a week.

Judging from the authors that I follow, the Denver LITRPG Con was a superspreader event.

Never mind I think my GED ass has figured it out.

Francis Abair

Why does ASL book 5 end several chapters before book 6? I love the series but for $25 I was hoping to read the rest of the book?

This is true of every app on an ios device, if you pay thru the app on the phone apple skims a minimum of 30% off the top. Always pay in a different way unless you are paying apple directly for something, and sometimes even then.

Kevin O'Malley

2025-03-07 17:25:21 +0000 UTC

That is why I had to become the dungeon master

Erick Thiemke

2025-02-25 02:43:17 +0000 UTC

From another person who always rolls a one on board and tabletop games, I salute you for a fantastic series of books. I look forward to reading more of your stuff.

Zaya Davood

2025-02-17 19:42:44 +0000 UTC

I can only manage three stories at a time. Maybe after book 2 of town builder is completed in a few months

Erick Thiemke

2025-01-20 00:40:37 +0000 UTC

Are you going to continue incubus life anytime soon I'm a new subscriber and really enjoyed the series

Ryan Whitney

2025-01-20 00:19:54 +0000 UTC

December 25th or so. Production is starting next week

Erick Thiemke

2024-11-17 17:10:50 +0000 UTC

Is there any info on ASL 3's audiobook?

Ken WoTCom

2024-11-17 06:16:00 +0000 UTC

Reading the re-story for the second time, I feel like it would be great if you wrote a continuation of this story at some point in the future.

Juarez Tavares

2024-11-11 21:54:58 +0000 UTC

Cool. I'm on 206, but can't find it. Do I need to upgrade to seraphim tier?

Rod

2024-11-01 18:41:19 +0000 UTC

the seraphim tier chapters - they get 4 chapters a week

Erick Thiemke

Town Builder

Peter Jørgensen

2024-08-31 21:40:18 +0000 UTC

i see my mistake - i was looking in chapters and it was a seperate POV chapter - thanks

Erick Thiemke

2024-08-01 00:27:29 +0000 UTC

that is hugely helpful. i was opening word docs trying to find it and it ties into a lot of things in the major plot. i dont know why it is not on the excel notes sheet.

Erick Thiemke

2024-07-31 16:19:19 +0000 UTC

If you haven't found it already, there's a Sana POV between 122 and 123. Mostly in a dungeon, finally gets the Summon Herald. I know it's not your main focus now, but I still really love First World Sphere.

One of the best Books i read in the last year - so ... Sure i am 👍👍👍

If you are a member of the Seraphim tier, you can access the book 3 chapter in the Collection called Seraphim. I move them over two a week from there

Thx by the Way 👍

Silver Beard

2024-06-02 01:34:35 +0000 UTC

Waiting for new chapters of Town Builder. I just re-read all the chapters. It is an amazing novel

Rod

2024-06-01 02:57:39 +0000 UTC

I am Pitrel on RR

Peter Werner Dorow

2024-05-25 07:27:28 +0000 UTC

yeah i am dyslexic in not just words but sentences too. i have an editor working on book 2. if you are reading on RR of recent chapters here then they are two edits behind what actually goes out as the ebook. what is your RR name?

Erick Thiemke

2024-05-25 01:45:25 +0000 UTC

Might be. By the way, are you looking for an editor? Other than this I noticed many typos or odd turns of phrases. I was posting them on RR, but the chapters went down after the whole Kindle thing.

Peter Werner Dorow

2024-05-24 23:21:29 +0000 UTC

huh - maybe I switched from it from quickness to dexterity then. i will have to read it again as it has been over a year

Erick Thiemke

2024-05-24 22:41:54 +0000 UTC

This is correct on the tables though, btw. As in the Dexterity is what was improved on the table and the continuity is correct in that regard. So if you intend to change it the quickness you will have to remake the tables.

Peter Werner Dorow

2024-05-24 22:39:17 +0000 UTC

i will update the text when book 1 goes back to KU on June 1st

Erick Thiemke

2024-05-24 22:25:29 +0000 UTC

damn - thought i fixed that. i just checked the hardcover (has the last edit) and it is still there. when i first wrote it, i had chosen dexterity but switched to quickness because it made more sense. thanks for the reminder

Erick Thiemke

2024-05-24 22:22:27 +0000 UTC

There is a continuity error in book 1: Excerpt from page 83 "Yes, it would, I thought. Is that why the only essence I had absorbed had been so effective? I had gained four quickness and even raised my potential in quickness by one in three weeks after consuming the essence. But the lesser essence was only supposed to give a relative effect boost of one-twentieth of a point. However, it was agreed the first ever essence someone consumed had a greater effect. But did my gains have to do with my affinity in convergence being so high at 74?" This is not the only point, after the training camp finishes you consistently treat it as if the essence he got in the training camp was Quickness, while it was Dexterity, excerpt from page 29: "I thought about my shortcomings in combat. My lower speed and agility were what cost me the most during practice. So, I needed to choose quickness, dexterity, or coordination. My lagging stat was dexterity, so I decided on that to increase my accuracy with my blade. “Dexterity,” I responded after thinking. Commander Silas thought my indecision was amusing and handed me the tiny faintly glowing yellow pearl—maybe closer to a marble’s size." For example, later on, in the aqueduct Eryk says that he has reinforced every physical attribute upon consuming a strength essence, however this is not true given that this would be the only quickness essence he would have consumed, but as seen above, he hasn't.

Peter Werner Dorow

2024-05-24 22:18:10 +0000 UTC

Thank you. That seemed what was happening but I was unsure.

Damon Bynum

2024-05-20 13:29:05 +0000 UTC

Thank you for your support. Solider is about 33 chapters ahead of RR with 2 chapters a week on Wed added. The seraphim tier has another 30+ draft chapters and gets 4/chapters week

Erick Thiemke

2024-05-20 13:05:02 +0000 UTC

Well, I broke down and finally got the Kitchen Sink membership so that I could read well ahead of Royal Road. I’m really enjoying myself, so THANK YOU. I am struggling to find A Soldier’s Life chapters past no. 153. I’m not sure if those are only available to the highest tier.

Damon Bynum

2024-05-20 11:35:40 +0000 UTC

Thanks for the encouragement!

Erick Thiemke

New Reader here after finding A Soldiers life book 1 on KU! Awesome set of series. Thank you for all of them!

Bryan Swanson

2024-04-30 18:08:36 +0000 UTC

I'm very flattered you take the time to respond to some of my more outlandish posts; but don't destroy your schedule on my account. Thanks for your time

Silver Beard

2024-04-08 10:09:50 +0000 UTC

Taking care of your health is more important than posting chapters. Here's hoping for a full recovery from whatever you're going through.

jsw

2024-03-05 17:04:17 +0000 UTC

yeah I have been sick for a while (since Thanksgiving/Christmas) and I don't want to use it as a crutch for not posting chapters but I have been slow on posting chapters on some stories so I shared. I used to write 8-9 hours a day and I am done to around 6. The ER visit didn't give answers but ruled out some serious things so back to writing with some peace of mind. It is probably just long-duration COVID but will get more tests done soon

Erick Thiemke

2024-03-05 16:48:47 +0000 UTC

Hoping all is well with you and yours after reading the 3/5/24 update.

jsw

2024-03-05 16:09:45 +0000 UTC

Yikes, sorry some jerk posted your story. I don’t see it on Amazon so hopefully it’s already down. I guess it is so good that someone wanted to steal it! 🙃

Styx

2023-12-26 22:13:04 +0000 UTC

Thank you. I somehow go the mistaken impression he could heal others. Really enjoying the story.

Damon Bynum

2023-10-22 19:39:08 +0000 UTC

He can only heal himself with his spell form. The excel spreadsheet is not pretty but does show every time he checked his attributes

Erick Thiemke

2023-10-22 18:39:37 +0000 UTC

New member, so it’s probably been addressed before, but I can see a fair amount of ill will when Eryk’s fellow legionnaires figure out that he has been withholding healing abilities that could have benefited them, or even saved lives. Unless the author has figured out a way to introduce this new skill that obscures exactly when it manifested. Thank you for the new chapter. Also, has the author considered an ongoing pdf that shows a comparison between Eryk’s beginning stats and his current level?

Damon Bynum

2023-10-22 18:06:09 +0000 UTC

kewl ty for responding was worried my RR account was messed up `

Tazz D Sichmeller

2023-10-10 23:15:07 +0000 UTC

soldier is released on Wednesdays. 2 chapters ususally in the afternoon and evening. i have been doing about 2 bonus chapters a week but not this week as I went to my cousins wedding in NY and I am still trying to catch up from missing essentially three days of writing.

Erick Thiemke

2023-10-10 17:05:25 +0000 UTC

humm says ur posting 2 chapters the 9th for soldier is my page not working again or r u just runnin late not a rant just want to read more lol

Tazz D Sichmeller

2023-10-10 16:48:00 +0000 UTC

it was 82 Soldier for Seraphim (noted in release now). I was in NY and just posted text with about 150 grammar errors in it. So it was a note that I cleaned it up

Erick Thiemke

2023-10-10 00:12:19 +0000 UTC

Or perhaps instead of Soldier you meant to type Seraphim and muscle memory got the best of you...like you'd rather be writing more of something else?

Silver Beard

2023-10-09 23:37:32 +0000 UTC

You might want to take "Soldier" out of your update... unless that's some reference to your Smut Story? Just so happens the Soldier Life story is at 81... so it's a little confusing to see. Thx

Silver Beard

2023-10-09 23:36:17 +0000 UTC

I really like all your stories but if I had to put them in order it would be: 1. First World Sphere, 2. Soldier's Life, 3. An Incubus Life, 4. Starship Engineer and finally 5. Town Builder. Other then town builder I read every chapter as soon as they come out.

Knightfire

2023-09-03 22:50:59 +0000 UTC

i think all stories except Town Builder are 30+ chapters ahead. trying to get this one there as well. 16 chapters ahead now

Erick Thiemke

2023-08-28 01:39:41 +0000 UTC

rofl- thought you said 50 chapter ahead on Soldier's life... point of detail.

Silver Beard

2023-08-27 23:51:47 +0000 UTC
