Sk4 - Chapter 35 - ♥♥♥ - The Early Birds

[Author Note - This takes place between him passing out in his bed with the girls after his ascension and the epilogue. This should be it, now, and I might have rushed this scene a little. I wanted to run through the book one last time before I uploaded it to amazon, probably cutting it closer than I have ever done. It might be a few days before I get into Soul Knight 5 or Bonded Summoner 8 again, so please be patient! Thanks for supporting me guys, and I'll see you again soon!] View Post

SK4 - Chapter 25 - ♥♥♥ - The Office Break

[Author Note - This one takes place during the test of governance, the time of it doesn't really matter but the scene occurs a time after Nick met with brightclaw / councilor robins. just one left, enjoy! Oh and please be on the lookout for any errors iike before. I don't have a lot of time to catch them!]

Nick groaned. “Ugh, those fucking angels. If we were back at real Frosthaven, I’d turn on that Light of Wisdom to just automatically blast them out of th...

Chapter 14.5 - ♥♥♥ - The Naughty Nuns

The four girls quickly helped him undress, taking turns kissing his lips and then his chest and body as they undid the cinch of his martial robes and took them off. They eventually folded his clothes off neatly on a stand to the side and guided him by his hands over to a chair.

Irene said with a smile, “Please have a seat, Milord. This is where we shall begin our worship.”

It was a chair that had him sitting nearly on the edge with… easy-to-clean padding, it seemed, and some...

SK4 - Chapter 7 - ♥♥♥ - The Intense Giantess

[Author Note - Sorry for the wait on this, I hope folks enjoy it. As one might expect, this is the scene from after Shara marks Nick and they form their soul pact. It's fresh off the presses, so do please let me know if you see important, traumatizing or immersion breaking errors (usually bad pronoun usage). I got 3 more of these scenes to write to include the rest of the girls, and I've been in a hurry! I hope everyone enjoys it.]

SK4 - Epilogue

“So as I was saying, it seems the monster kingdom is on the move, their probing attacks imminent. Er, can you maybe, uh…shrink yourself, or maybe float me up to your eyes? This feels a little awkward. I don’t think I can make myself big.” 

The star oni man was standing beneath Nick’s immense body in front of his home within his Soulscape, handing in his report to Nick as he looked upward, trying to meet Nick’s giant eyes. 

Contrary to his expectation, his sou...

SK4 - Chapter 32 - The Ascension

[Author Note: This took me a bit because I was working out the status sheets. I will be having this status sheet appear in chapter 21, to show the final status before he enters the Ordeal:

[Name: Nicholas Noblefrost]

SK4 - Chapter 31 - The Lady’s Soulscapes

Nick arrived inside his Ascension Chamber, his nerves calm. It was nearly time for him to ascend.

Things were about as perfect as they could be, except for one thing. His Hero-King Swordsmanship hadn’t quite reached Middle Mastery yet, but it didn’t much matter. He knew that with all his other preparations and perfect conditions, waiting any longer would not serve him or his goals and would have a minimal impact on his future. In fact, waiting would be a detriment, because he knew t...

August Update + NEW RELEASE

Hey guys! I'll start with the usual.

July's Productivity: 83k words written. 57k SK4 (178k total), 26k BS8 (115k total)

Not a bad month! I made the progress I needed to on SK4, and I'm about to work on the epilogue and explicit scenes + edits to have it ready for release before getting back to BS8 as the higher focus. Of course, the preorder for that is still available. And my plan is to immediately continue with book 5 as I have, working on both books at once, just with BS8 being...

SK4 - Chapter 30 - The Exit

As Nick and his wives appeared in the plaza, numerous people had gathered. The black tower that rose up above their house, the obelisk, had mysterious scripts lighting up. He knew it pulsed each time they completed a new floor, and now, they had completed another Stratum.

The density of essence in the air had increased once again. It had only been three weeks since they entered the Ordeal thanks to the bizarre floor, but to Nick and the rest, it felt like three whole months. The essence...

SK4 - Chapter 28 - The Clash of Paths

Nick was only a distance away from Lord Tagron, just moments after Fang crashed into Prince Tagron, his wives taking on the elites and the beast king. The front of the column of knights had just been crushed, and Nick could hear Lord Tagron complaining from the back.

Lord Tagron wore a frown. “Unbelievable. Such incompetence! My scouts never revealed that the diregators could… never mind.” He blew a horn suddenly, the sound echoing through the forest.

From the left side of h...

SK4 - Chapter 27 - Nick and Luna - The Battle Begins

This battle needed to happen quickly, and it felt like Lord Tagron was stalling near the end with his negotiations. His reinforcements would arrive within an hour, and at that point, it would be Nick’s loss if his forces hadn’t won.

And Shak’terra already caught another hidden plot. Despite them stopping that ramp construction, a force of mercenaries and bandits had arrived at the unfinished land bridge from their kingdom’s side, and it appeared to be meeting up with the bandits...

SK4 - Chapter 26 - The Bargain

[Author Note - I am still tweaking the next chapter's encounter, so if you see any discrepancies between this chapter and the next, do please point them out, but also just keep in mind I may have just shifted something. This encounter was really tough to get right, but I hope that when I'm done everyone enjoys it.]

BS8 - Chapter 19 - The Trial of the Unbroken Flame

She floated in front of the statue in the lotus pose Jake was familiar with. Her expression was serious, and her eyes, looking much more like the current ones, were filled with determination. “I am ready now. To challenge the trial and ignite my inner flame.”

“I can see your resolve. I had called you a child despite your age because I could feel your lack of maturity, but I can see that you are a woman now. I wish to commend you for your preparations and effort, but true strength ...

BS8 - Chapter 18 - The Pure Heart Flame

Sati floated in front of a pillar with mysterious seals on it, unraveling them as she sent darts of flame at some kind of bee monster. Other warriors fought the monsters within the halls of the inner sanctum, the Celestial Nexus challenge nearing its end. 

Jake realized that this was a few months after the first vision. They had risen higher still in their shuttle and had even faced the mithril dragon and arrived at the inner sanctum before their enemy, getting access to more treas...

BS8 - Chapter 17 - War Plan

[Author Note: Got something special for you guys! I worked hard and banged out these chapters. I figured I might as well share them right away as I work on Soul Knight, so while you get these three today, there might not be another until next Wednesday, and if there is, it'll be a bonus. I hope everyone enjoys them!]

The family brought the recovered people through the recreated tunnel to the inner sanctum and marched them toward the core sanctum, building a crowd of p...

BS8 - Chapter 16 - Confrontation

Jake now stood in front of the hidden storeroom’s warded wall. They had decided to hit both idols at once. Fhesiah had snuck them back into the cafeteria from before easily, but it turned out her illusion wasn’t quite perfect. 

The more powerful inner sanctum disciples could actually sense her kitsune flames even through the mystical arts she knew, perhaps because of their high affinity with flames. It wasn’t that they got caught, but they got a few strange looks in their dir...

SK4 - Chapter 25 - The Proxy War

As the two armies neared one another, a rain of arrows and spells came from both sides of the battlefield. The monster kingdom had ranged attacks, from archers of their own and even shaman-type monsters launching spells. 

And thankfully, Nick’s aura drastically took much of the momentum out of them by slowing them down once they touched his dome-shaped dominion. The arrows, while slowed, flew true despite slowing down–and he thought it had to do with how they focused essence on...

SK4 - Chapter 14 - The First Maidens

[Author Note - This is a redone chapter, it was airing on Scribble/Royalroad and I decided to redo it sooner rather than later. Someone had pointed out to me that the scene was a bit too weird with having it take place at the kid's orphanage and restaurant, and I realized that I must have forced it a bit and it was a bit offputting. They also gave me a pretty decent idea of how to change it, so I am thankful as I think it's a good concept for Seraphara's Maidens, to make a place for him calle...

SK4 - Chapter 24 - War Preparations

Three months. 

Three months of Nick and his wives solving issue after issue within his fictional kingdom, all culminating toward this day. He was getting close to what the floor wanted, and if this proxy war didn’t complete the floor, he would be absolutely shocked. 

He had done everything he could think of to prepare his people, and Nick couldn’t be prouder about his wives and all they accomplished.

His wives had overcome a lot, and Nick actually got some much...

BS8 - Chapter 15 - Rashik - Prophet of the Great Flame

Rashik marched through the temple, his steps hurried but filled with purpose. Tatiana’s longer legs allowed her to keep up with him easily. While he had originally planned on Sati following them, she once again surprised him with her capability.

He looked over at the head of his staff with more than a little reverence. She had turned into a flame completely and then somehow joined with the focus as if it were nothing at all. Truly, he could not believe it. A living flame, just like th...

SK4 - Chapter 23 - The Darkest Road

[Author Note - Feeling good about how this is going, the words are flowing well to where I think I'm caught up from that week where I got behind? Anyway, enjoy!]

Nick was working in his study, filling out a ledger–a work that he usually avoided. Managing his kingdom’s finances was frustrating when he really had to pinch pennies, something he hadn’t experienced since he had gained a mountain of gold from all of his heroism. Robbing thieves was quite profitable. View Post

SK4 - Chapter 22 - The Test of Governance

Nick had spent a couple of hours rewarding the remaining monsterfolk girls after the event, and they were all absolutely pleased to get some time with their Alpha, their Boss. With that completed, he went out and thanked his leaders, met with his citizens, and enjoyed his city’s first major celebration. 

The mood was good, the people’s spirits light. He had felt during his speech that their fealty had built–their acknowledgement of their loyalty to him as their lord and also ...

BS8 - Chapter 14 - Plot Unraveling

As they entered the inner sanctum, they found their paths sloping downward. Much of the inner area was actually underground, and throughout the entire temple.

Unfortunately, it seemed Fhesiah and Ophelia were stuck at the gates of the Wind Grand Temple. While they were definitely interested in Valora, it wasn’t enough to befriend them and have entry granted. For now, they flew around handling more Rifts, whittling the area down for eventually handling the Greater Rift. <...

July Update

Hey guys! It's time for our author update. Once again, we start with my productivity:

June Productivity: ~57k. 33k SK4 (121k Total), 24k BS8 (89k total)

It wasn't a great month in terms of productivity, but I pushed through some difficult moments in both stories, and also took a week off. My kids have started school here in the Philippines now, and so far they are doing well. Also had so many visitors in June to the home and so it was a challenge finding time to ...

SK4 - Chapter 21 - The King's Mandate

[Author note - I feel like I say this every time lately. Once again, I don't feel great about this chapter, though this time, it's because it's something that makes me cringe a bit--speeches. If I had more of a buffer then I might hold on to it a bit longer, but I am considering shifting this event to occur after the Ordeal run instead. That, or I may shift his Dominion of Frost and Fealty advancement to this particular moment, making it feel a little more impactful. You'll ...

SK4 - Chapter 20 - The Monsterfolk Maidens

[Author Note - God, I could not finish this forever, and in the end it bulked up to feel super long. Poor planning on my part, I could have split it in two but this was meant to really showcase all the monsterfolk girls, and while only three are named (currently), that may not always be the case. I hope you guys enjoy it, it's late but it's another very beefy chapter!]

BS8 - Chapter 13 - The Great Flame

[Author Note - I dunno about this chapter. I guess as I am nearing the end of the two books in terms of the length/contents I set out, I might just be overly critical. It could be because I hate doing flashbacks, but because of how the timeskip was laid out, I had felt it was much better to (before I wrote it) wait to show readers Sati's full backstory. Because if I had shown this in book 6, I think people would have been really disappointed when things didn't move forward with her mu...

BS8 - Chapter 12 - The Grand Temples

After some investigations near the HQ cities, Jake’s party had split up. Ophelia, Fhesiah, Tanda and Ruby on Valora heading to the Wind Grand Temple, and now, Jake, Bloodberri, and Sati flew towards the Fire Grand Temple.

Despite their amazing pace, it was a task that would take the better part of a day even if they went straight for it. The parties were largely chosen to balance them and for speaking with the temple, as Jake could call upon Bree and Avalara at any moment for reinforc...
