ISEKAI EXORCIST - Ch.21 'Some Truth and Rest'

Since there's been a lot of confusion about my prior method of distributing chapters to Ascendant tier, I have decided to go for the standard of just putting all individual chapters up. All chapters will have a link to the previous ones and when I update permissions for these to be available to Invoker tier, you will receive a notification.

Thank you for all the feedback!

-----------------------------

20 – Demon Galleon II

The ramp leading from the marbled stone dock to Fallow’s Fortune creaked below the heavy steps of our Paladin guards, as we made our way up to the top deck of the ship.

As one, all of us froze when we stepped out onto the dock. A heavy weight had settled on each of us, and one of the Paladin...

19 – Demon Galleon I

It was maybe just around midnight when Owl woke me up and dragged me out of our room, barely allowing me to put my robe on. Before I could ask what was going on, we were outside and I saw the sky in the district beyond, as it lit up with wisps of unholy light. Owl continued to drag me by the wrist to...

18 – The Port of Ochre

Around noon on the fourth day of travel we finally arrived to the city of Ochre. As our carriage slowed to a halt in front of its large gate, we all disembarked to walk the last bit. Lukas and Rana were both full of energy as soon as they left the vehicle, but Owl and I both needed to stretch our l...

17 – My Party

I awoke within Rana’s naked embrace sometime the next morning. It took me a moment to realise that the events of last night hadn’t been some fever dream, but had in fact been real. Never in a million years had I imagined it would feel like that. I’d also always imagined that I’d be...

16 - Gear Replacements

Before arriving to the store that could make specialised Staves and Foci, I stopped by a jewellery store, in front of which was posted a guard with a tall lance, whose aura was a vague red.

Within the store were great display models and cases full of every imaginable type of jewellery, but ther...

15 - The Gamble

Following the destructive aftermath by Master Owl’s hands, I went to Rana’s apartment, where, after knocking on the door a few times, she let me in with a worried expression on her face. I didn’t say anything, before finding my way to her couch and promptly passing out.

Rana awoke me s...

14 - The Worst Type of Monsters

It had been a sombre affair, watching the body be slowly consumed for fire until just the bones and wood ash were left behind. For one brief moment I wondered if I ought to collect his ashes, as they might be considered a Sinner’s Ashes, though I pushed the consideration from my mind as th...

Before I launch ISEKAI EXORCIST to RoyalRoad, my goal was to have 17 chapters in total, but it's looking like I may blow past that goal by quite a few chapters. As result, I may have to up the amount that Invokers have available. 

Nevertheless, here's quite a lot of stuff to read. Hope everyone is as excited about this...

Starting tomorrow, I will begin posting a chapter on ISEKAI EXORCIST Monday and Friday. Next Sunday there will be a new ALL CHAPTERS post exclusively for Ascendants, while Invokers get the 2 chapters per week (might do a double-release day to get to the initial 6-chapters-ahead that I want for Invokers).

The contents in this PDF represents what will be uploaded to RR in the first week of this story (sta...

ISEKAI EXORCIST - Cover

Finally decided on the cover I'll go with for Isekai Exorcist. I didn't want something that screamed "badass MC", but I still wanted something cool.

I will have a new ALL CHAPTERS post out on Sunday (July 2nd) and after that I will split the chapter releases according to tiers. 

The plan is to adopt a 2-chapter-per-week schedule for RoyalRoad, with Invoker starting off with 6-chapters-ahead of RR (might change to 8 if my backlog is big enough) and Ascendant h...

FATHER OF MONSTROSITY - The Entire Book

Hi everybody o/

I just wanted to post this for both tiers, now that the story has completed its run. The PDF contains all chapters of the story and has a few more edits since the "all chapters" post from the 29th of May, which was available to the Ascendant tier.

Although I'm not 100% sure how to do it, my plan is still to gift all my supporters on here with free advanced digital copies of Father of Monstrosity once it goes on Amazon. That's still some months awa...

ISEKAI EXORCIST - First 3 Chapters

This will be a story I begin posting on Royal Road in the middle of next month to coincide with the final chapter of Father of Monstrosity.

I mentioned in previous posts that I wasn't sure what story I'd go with, and after feeling like both "Yanagi" and "Trauma Traveller" needed some more time to cook in the oven, this is the one I have decided to go with.

Any feedback you might have would be greatly appreciated. And don't forget to check out the ...

Iskandarr found Jakob as he was putting the finishing touches on the ritual described within the scroll that Grandfather had possessed for maybe over a century.

Exiled Realm - 2nd commissioned Cover draft

This is still a work-in-progress, but I'm honestly blown away by the result already. The guy making this also made the first cover, but this time I had him focus on a much more dynamic scene, which honestly represents the story far better I think.
