Really happy to finally introduce this character properly. As always, it is a bit hard to use Generative AI to get an image that's actually close to what I imagine, but at least the 'atmosphere' of the pictures I've picked are pretty spot on.

I have a lot of random ideas for stories, but few actually approach something I would sit down and write. This is one of those few. I may flesh out this story and publish it at the start of Q2 next year, if I don't get too busy.
I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts on this first draft.
TL;DR: It's an unhinged Saw-meets-Eldritch-Gods LitRPG System Apocalypse with bucketfuls of dark comedy and brutal violence, featuring an unstable MC and his sentient ted...

Sovereign Monstrosity is the standalone sequel to Father of Monstrosity. It won't require that you've read Father of Monstrosity to understand it, but it will reference characters from it and continue their journey.

I've worked hard to edit and format the story, and at last the book is now submitted for a release of November 30th, with pre-order already available for the Kindle version.
I hope that everyone here, whether current or past supporters, is responsible for this coming to pass. I literally would never have tried to self-publish if I hadn't received such amazing feedback and words of encouragement from y'all.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
