“Rhyss, is there anything else you can tell us about this?” Alex asked as he took a few steps closer to the tower, squinting into the darkness beyond the entryway. He still couldn’t make out the faintest detail within the shadows. The only thing awaiting him was pitch black.
“It is not a building that falls under common knowledge. I have no information about the Forsaken Grounds beyond its status as Mythic. All I can provide is conjecture,” the Advisor said. “Most Mythic bui...

There was a building in Mirrorwane that hadn’t been there when Alex and Claire had left. And it wasn’t the kind of building that one could easily miss. The two of them only made it about a foot out of the Warped Embassy before they ground to a halt in unison.
Poking out into the sky was a tall, winding spire of bone. It was at least ten stories high and had more resemblance than Alex would have liked to a wedding cake assembled by an overzealous six year old than he would have liked...

As it turned out, Glint was capable of quite a bit more than Alex had expected. The difference between letting him fight on his own and having someone who actually knew how to fight puppet the monster around was palpable. Even with just a single arm, Ein’Zahl defeated a second Fraying Mantis without taking a single blow.
“See?” Glint asked, turning to look at Alex as he scooped the defeated monster’s Soul Flame up and deposited it into a Spatial Mirror. “I am more than capable...

“The Mirrorlands,” Glint hiss-whispered, his head swaying from side to side. He sounded considerably more surprised than Alex had expected him to. “I can hardly believe it. You did actually have a pathway here. And to think it was a permanent one, anchored in the center of your town… the System must smile on you.”
Alex and Claire exchanged a glance. Giving the System much credit for anything that had happened here felt a little rude. They’d both fought tooth and nail to get ...

Alex slipped the golden ticket into his spatial ring. It would have been a shame to lose it after all the trouble Wess had gone through to get it — especially since the ticket hadn’t exactly been free. A part of him wanted to check the date on the ticket to see if the auction had been set yet, but there was no point pulling it out every five minutes and losing his mind waiting.
He wouldn’t have put it past the System to make the auction trigger with practically zero warning, but t...

Alex and Claire found Wess near the Teleporter. A small crowd had already gathered around him, including Orchid, May, Mite, and several townsfolk. It struck Alex that there was no sign of May’s brother, Aaron. He’d have been a bit more concerned about that if May hadn’t looked so relaxed. There was no way the girl would have been in anything resembling a normal state of mind if Aaron was dead.
He’s probably still training in the Mirrorlands. Damn. He locked in hard. I should...

Rodrick wasn’t usually one to present himself directly before a problem. Unfortunately, not every situation allowed him to deal with things from the shadows or while wearing someone else’s face. There were occasionally times where he had to deal with things himself, as himself.
This was one of those times.
And so, his features set in a careful mask, Rodrick stepped out from the alleyway and right into the path of the members of the Adventurer’s Guild.
There were two of...

“This,” Alex said, nodding to Glint, “is—”
“Don’t!” Glint hissed.
Claire blinked in surprise. She glanced from Glint to Alex. Then her eyes narrowed. “Not only is he speaking, but he’s actively refuting things you’re doing? That’s quite the change.”
“Give me some credit, please,” Alex said through a sigh. “I wasn’t going to say your name, Glint. I was going to say that you were a suspicious individual I bound to Glint’s body in a contract....

“How are things coming?” Rodrick asked, not even looking over his shoulder from where he sat at the edge of the roof.
Olive grimaced. She stood well over six feet away from him and — at least as far as she was aware — hadn’t made so much as a single noise in her approach. She certainly hadn’t done anything that could have given away her identity.
Godspit. His Sunsetted abilities are something else. Rodrick is a bit too creepy now, isn’t he?
“Well eno...

Nightmare Realm Summoner just came out on Amazon & Audible!
The first few days of a book launch are the most important to allowing me to continue writing it. Now is a great time to consider checking it out if you haven't been reading it. And if you have, every single rating, download & review are immensely useful, especially with how the new Amazon works. Most reviews don't make it through unless they're written, but every single interaction helps a ton with supporting me!

“These croissants are really good,” Arwin said through a mouthful of pastry. “Have you tried them?”
“I made them, Arwin,” Lillia replied.
“That doesn’t mean you’ve tried them. I don’t put on every piece of armor I make.”
“That’s… fair,” Lillia admitted. “But yes. I’ve tried them. I’m not quite at the stage where I don’t sample my own work. There’s always more to improve upon. The learning never stops.”
“That’s a very dedica...

“How?” Neil exclaimed, nearly launching himself out of his chair. He realized his mistake a moment later and winced, cringing in on himself. Screaming like a madman whilst in the VIP section really wasn’t a great way to make an impression — not to mention that if one of the other people in the upper levels overheard him, they could pinpoint who he was and potentially track him down for an item he’d bought.
“Don’t worry,” the girl said with a laugh as she spotted his expr...

Alex’s eyes snapped open.
He was back in Mirrorwane’s Town Hall. His legs ached slightly, letting him know that he’d been sitting for a little longer than he’d been expecting to. There was a twinge in his back and the sides of his temples pulsed slightly in a dull headache.
Rising to his feet with a grimace, Alex brushed himself off before reaching into the silver deck box at his side and pulling the cards free from it. They’d all been reinforced and changed from the fir...
