Retiring to Godhood stubbing

I'll be deleting the individual chapters from RR and Patreon today, but here's a compiled epub of those for you, my loyal supporters. This will only remain up for a few days, after which I need to fully remove it to comply with the KDP requirements, so be sure to grab it before then!

If you'd like to support the official release, we do have a pre-order up over on amazon! https://...

6: Spear Basics

Raden walked back to the weapon racks, choosing a dull sword for himself and threw a spear to Auren.

Taking the spear, Auren felt its tip. Not sharp, but it would work just fine.

For another second, they simply stared at each other, seemingly gauging each other. Then they leaped at each other, almost in unison.

Raden immediately used his sword to block Auren's attack with his spear.

Auren grinned and attacked back with his spear, his only focus on doing some damage to ...

5 (version 2): Raden 101

Heya guys! Some of this may look familiar, but the chapter is significantly expanded from its previous version. I thought of some fun scenes to add in that fit best here, so in they go! Chapters 3-4 have also been updated, but the content hasn't changed, just the chapter split points.

---

Roderick walked up to the newbie cooks with a grin on his face. He had been thinking of a way of getting them some experience—what better than letting them cook meals that they could m...

5 (old): First Day On Campus

This is the original version of chapter 5. As of June 24th, 3-6 were restructured and new scenes added to 5. The expanded version can be found here.

---

It felt like no time at all had passed before the student who’d reserved this terminal for the next time block arrived, leaving Auren adrift. With the system information terminals fully occupied, it seemed the morning students had...

4: Welcome to Formindal

Auren immediately threw himself into another direct attack, but at the last second, he realized that while Lord Keine's wind magic was an area-of-effect attack, it was weaker at the sides. He twisted midway through his charge, jumped wildly to the side, and then pushed off the wall at the side to redirect his momentum. He started to fall as he slipped the wind magic.

Just before his outstretched hand could reach his target, Lord Keine’s eyes flicked in his direction and the wind gathe...

3: A Berserker's Arrival

“You sure we have to do this every time?” Kelsey grumbled, glaring around at them all. “We’ve been stalled on the project for weeks already.”

Raden waved for her to be quiet as a faint scuff sounded from ahead. “You hear that?”

They all paused a moment, but the sound didn't repeat.

Kelsey gave him a disgusted sigh. “We could have mapped out half the ruin by now if you would just let this go.”

“An abomination in the sector isn’t something we can ju...

2: A Healer's Legacy

The walk back was a complete blur, Auren’s body walking on autopilot. He passed out of the Second Ring, into the eastern suburbs, until he reached the Hospice Center. Only when he ran into Osmond in one of the hallways did he snap back to awareness.

"It's going to be fine, Auren,” Osmond said, the man clearly having understood what had happened. “Chasing ranks isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, you know? You're such a good worker, and as long as you maintain this record, you'll ...

The Last Healer - Chapter 1: One More Time

"I'll be trying again today, Ma." Auren sat beside the bed, holding the frail woman’s hand in both of his.

Ylria Moarth wore a faded blue hospital gown, the murky white crystal around her neck the only personal item she retained. Her half closed eyes roamed without focus.

"It’s time for this year’s class unlock ceremony. You never know, right? I could still awaken. I’ve been training every night, all year." He didn’t know if she could understand him, but talking to her w...

Writing Update!

Hello dear patrons! I'm very happy to have finished the first volume of Retiring to Godhood, and very excited to share my next project with you all!

For now, Retiring to Godhood will be finishing posting to RR, then we'll be stubbing later on and moving to Amazon with a small publisher. In the meantime, I'll be working on the edits for the published version and chapters of my new story. After writing 220,000 words of Dominic's story, I'm definitely ready to take a bit of a break from th...

8 - Taking over the Church doesn’t sound too bad?

Dominic stared at Hannah silently.

I do understand your frustration.

At one point, he’d had the same mindset, though so long ago he barely remembered it.

There were any number of ways he could answer her accusation. He could try to justify it, argue about mortality and philosophy, reveal the truths of the Universe and see whether she would understand. Realistically, she wouldn’t, for the answers were just so… inane.

But at the end of the day, Dominic was...

7 - Hannah Abel

“...you’re a demigod?” Hannah asked blankly for what felt like the hundredth time. The revelation may’ve slightly broken her. There was no skepticism or doubt in her tone, only confusion.

Dominic barely suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, but nodded nonetheless. “I am a demigod, yes.” He wanted to directly jump into the part where he proved himself with some miraculous feat, but that would be pointless with the Saintess girl already struggling to process.

“So, uh, ...

6 - The Church of Light

“You must do this,” Pope Lathan, glorious head of the Church of the Light, ordered.

Hannah’s face scrunched up. “Of course you can say that with ease, it’s not like you’re going—”

“I’m more than willing to go in your place, if they accept,” he declared.

Hannah froze, speechless.

The Cardinals did not seem surprised, only nodding along.

“If not for the fact that they specifically want the Saintess, probably because of how much stronger and ...

5 - Let’s Hire The Saintess!

Hadden’s life as a priest was peaceful.

He woke up, prayed to the Goddess of Light.

Ate, prayed to the Goddess of Light.

Cleaned the Cathedral—a point of pride, being a member of the largest Cathedral for the Church of Light in the entire world, making him clean extra hard and well—prayed to the Goddess of Light.

Ate once more, prayed to the Goddess of Light.

Performed sermons for the believers, listened to their confessions and let them lighten their burde...

4 - Let’s Make A Plan!

Dominic waited patiently for Calvin to ponder his question. He was still a young kid, after all. Struggling to deal with being memory charmed was only natural—not to mention whatever memories he’d regained.

Expecting an immediate response would be dumb, and Dominic wasn’t dumb.

It did take a minute, but that wasn’t nearly as long as he’d expected to wait.

“Someone intentionally made me contract the plague, using a spell,” Calvin finally said. “And then they m...

3 - Calvin?

Calvin knew he should hide away deeper in the alleyway.

If one of the shop owners got irritated…

Well, they usually got irritated by his presence even when he was healthy, just by his appearance, let alone now. Diseased, ill, even more of an eyesore than normal.

Calvin didn’t know what he was hoping for, reaching out of the alleyway.

Pity?

Sympathy?

Some alms?

Maybe a swift death at the hands of the guards, instead of slowly wasting away to this d...

2 - Time To Go Find A Disciple!

It took Dominic a few hours to reach the village, even with Gabrielle popping up a map in front of him to show him exactly where he had to go. It’d been so long since he ambled through a forest peacefully. The last time he’d done so was probably before he’d become a Demigod.

He skipped along through the trees, taking in the fresh breeze and the peaceful blue sky, the chirping of the birds overhead and the rustling grass beneath his feet.

Once, he spotted a pack of wolves, wh...

Retiring to Godhood 1

“I’m retiring.”

Dominic stared at his master blankly. “You’re retiring?”

“Yep.” Atwater nodded, his white beard bobbing along with the movement of his head. His face formed quite the odd contrast—a long white beard on a youthful, unwrinkled face. Though, his eyes, hair and even his clothes were white too, so it was more like a general theme his master followed than a choice made to look old.

“Retire where? And what are you going to do, when you retire? Te...
