The Current Schedule

I've been asked a lot, and feel like I should make it clear what my plan is, and how I'm going about it.

Outer sphere has been cruising along so quickly that even I had very little idea where exactly I was going with it, and so I'm slowing down, just enough to take a breather and get my bearings, especially to prevent burnout. this allows me to start developing a new series. (To be named)

My current writing pace puts me at about 3k on a good day - a little more than a chapter a ...

Chapter 175: Everybody loves the Parade

Garth blinked his eyes, trying to get the afterimage of Mr. Glaresalot’s rib cage out of his eyes. His ears weren’t much better off either, only to make out muffled vowels around him. on the edge of his vision, he saw limbs flailing and lots of blood.

I got what I wanted, so this might be a good time to get lost, Garth thought, numbly pocketing the book and pushing himself to his feet.

As his vision cleared, he could make out Linda levering herself up, wounds all...

Beta Chapter 5

“Calvin, take Jinnei and run, you penis wrinkle! And work on your fucking listening skills!” Karen berated him even as she used the opportunity to club an inattentive soldier in the head, sending him twitching to the ground.

Karen had been doing well at first, but the Gadverans had gotten her style down, and she was starting to accumulate damage, sporting bloody nicks across her arms and torso, face and neck.

She looked like she was having the time of her life.

Ther...

Beta Chapter 4

Baraad was bored.

Being an elite bodyguard with five Breaks didn’t mean every assignment was in the middle of a war-torn battlefield.

Nope.

Sometimes, you and your squad get assigned to secretly guard the princess from having too much fun and getting knocked up. The likelihood of anything else in the village she occasionally visited being a threat was a non-starter.

Still, they took their business seriously, watching for any sign of a threat, from these village...

174: The Wheel Turns

In the middle of the bamboo-Banyan jungle, a shimmering portal the size of a beach ball opened up, and a slender girl with a great mane of red hair jumped through, carrying a few licks of flame with her. She was followed almost instantly by half a dozen non-humans, wearing thick white uniforms with gold trim.

Many of them sported burns and rolled on the forest floor, clutching their wounds under singed fabric.

“Whooo!” Garth cried, jumping out of the raging inferno and la...

What I'm working on recently. (Beta)

I'd like to write another LitRPG on Royalroad w

Chapter 173: Hypocrisy, Schmipocrisy

The scientists broke in all directions, aiming for the safety in numbers of…where exactly? Shadow was still covering the exit. Maybe if they all rushed him, a couple would get out, but they seemed to be too panic stricken to roll those dice, choosing to scatter.

“If you guys keep – “ Garth snagged one by the back of the neck. “Running, it’s going to take all day to kill all of you.” Garth prepared himself to end the man’s life.

“Garth!”

“Huh?” Garth asked,...

Chapter 172: Operational Security

The area under the church was much bigger than it should have been. Long marble halls stretched in three directions from the staircase, with no indication offending anytime soon. The halls were well lit by tiny enchanted bits of core in recessed alcoves above them.

The whole thing looked…modern.

Studding the walls were door after door with reinforced glass windows, and behind each door was a…specimen?

There was a man that looked somewhat like a shaggy minotaur behin...

PULL UP YOUR PANTS!

You damn kids with your low-cut jeans and PDA, stop possibly touching each other and Pull up your Pants!

Chapter 171: The day after Tomorrow

Garth sat in the pews, glaring at the orb held by the black statue of Sassia. Garth had no idea why one of Dr. Daniel’s old partners in crime was immortalized in stone, holding an orb that disseminated tiny, self-replicating curses, but it didn’t really matter right now.

When he had seen the orb the first time, it had been dormant, but now that he was attending mass, he was absolutely sure that it was doing exactly what he thought it had been.

Tiny little flecks of dark r...

Let's talk about attributes.

I'm putting together a new LitRPG and this time I want to put way more forethought into it (Don't worry I'm still trucking on Outer Sphere)

Anyway, I've come to a bit of an impasse when it comes to stats. I'm wavering between two setups.

Breaking down physical and mental stats into 3 parts (like the outer spheres,)

Strength

Speed

Endurance

Intelligence

Senses

Memory

The alternative is going much simpler by making three stats: Body, Mi...

Chapter 170: Pit-Stop

Mark One: My father, what about him?

Interviewer: How do you feel about the insatiable need to consume goblins that Garth embedded in the very core of your species? Do you resent it?

Mark One: Resent it? How do you feel about sex, Tom? Do you like it? could you live without it if you had to? Do you curse the gods for being born that way? To my people, it’s the same. We hunt goblins to reproduce, because it’s fun, and it doesn’t hurt anybody. 2019-06-09 21:43:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 169: Something Hardass this way comes

Nathanial was not a handsome man. The High Inquisitor was missing the left half of his nose and his lip was split into a ghoulish scowl by a blade. Even without the unfortunate wound, the man’s grey skin and uncomfortable staring would have made the man unpleasant.

Together with his personality, it made him terrifying.

That old, old, saying, don’t judge a book by it’s cover? That didn’t not apply to Nathanial. He acted exactly how he looked, and he seemed to relish any ...

Discord link refresh

I got asked how do, so I'mma put up another one. Maybe I can Pin it somehow, Idunno.

Chapter 168: BBQ

“I fail to see how this helps me.” The air thrummed in Garth’s chest as Carnifax spoke.

“It helps because it creates a paper trail.” Garth said. “In the future, when Earth starts reintegrating with the Inner Spheres, they’re going to stop seeing you as a god-thing and start seeing you as a paycheck.”

“One of the – and I use this word with great reluctance – good things about the Inner Spheres is that they will consider the rights of an...

Lol

Idunno if you guys can see the stats on scribblehub, but I just wanted to share this one. Made me chuckle. That minor uptick at the beginning of the graph is the entire 15 chapter run I released at a similar time last month, and the huge spike is 2 chapters of sideboob.

Chapter 167: Paul's Night Out

***Paul***

Carl gave him a pained look as he struggled to pull the cart up the minor slope leading to the hideout of the Iron Legion, A gang that distributed for the Gonzales family. Paul couldn’t see his face, but the look in his eyes screamed ‘why do I have to pull the damn cart?’

“Because Ragnar stands out too much.” Paul said, his voice muffled through the wool mask drawn over his face. Carl continued to pout, putting his substantial weight into the bar. 2019-06-05 21:25:20 +0000 UTC View Post

one more variant

So I paid the guy an extra few bucks for a wardrobe malfunction that will never see the light of day on the publishing sites. I figure he's gonna have the characters there, It'd be super easy to make a small change, so why not see them tiddies? So here you Minions go, your Bi-yearly dose of Sandi boobs. Kinda wish their expressions were different tho.

Although his rat-face looks more appropriate now.

It's that time of month again!

Now that there's a presentable cover (slight rat-faced derpiness aside) I'm going to be starting a 15 chapter public run in celebration. Readers and Fans will find they now have access to 15 chapters ahead of where they were at, in preparation for this flood. Starting tomorrow, they'll come out twice a day for a week, +1 for good measure.

Lets hope Sandi can grab a lot of attention!

Chapter 166: Tell me About the Bad Guy

Garth flicked his gaze back up to the priest. If the guy catches me staring at his goodies, that’s probably all she wrote.

“Good to meet you, priest. I’m Carl Jung from the north, and I was curious about your faith.” Garth said, holding out his hand as the chill of Pala’s blessing rolled off his tongue.

The best way to get a priest to stop talking about you is to get them talking about their faith.

“Well met, young man,” the priest said, vigor...

Cover's Done (and it's a little derpy)

I keep looking at his face and wondering WTF, but then my eyes slide back over to Sandi and I'm happy. That guy knows how to draw women's bodies!

Chapter 165: Old Friends

Garth followed the stream of Tzetin relaying orders back and forth, meandering through the hectic battlefield until he found what he was looking for: A Tzetin much grander than the others, carapace pale with age, overseeing the battlefield with steady determination.

As he came close, several ant-people raised their weapons and waggled their antennae in the Threatening/Protective gesture.

“Yo Itet, is that you?” Garth shouted, waving his arms just outside the Tzetin kill r...

AFK Post (Idea Garage Sale)

The wife is dragging me AFK for the weekend, but that doesn't mean no progress can be made.

Go ahead and leave ideas for where you think the story is going, If yours is better than mine, I'll say it was mine all along, and that you guessed right.

I'm thinking about steering the story into more of a wartime direction, with the inquisition and jazz, but I realize I also need to include buffalo soldiers and some kind of tiny flourecent dream-walking hummingbird. and Snek and bat peop...

Chapter 164: drop a loaf

Garth walked into the bakery, expecting the wonderful smell of baked goods and a glass case full of delicious breads to choose from. What he got instead was the smell of smoke and faint mildew, and an assortment of awful crackers, made from B or even C grade flour, that seemed to have chunky bits in it.

There was a beetle carapace sticking out of one of the flat, brick-hard pieces of bread.

A right, the plight of the people totally slipped my mind…

Welp,...
