Community Poll 1: Choose Research Options for Manifest Fantasy!
I’d like to announce the introduction of Community Polls! These polls will allow you to vote on certain elements, decisions, and rewards within my stories. For example, picking research options for a Manifest Fantasy tech tree.
Your choices will impact the story.
The first Community Poll for each story will be accessible to everyone, but subsequent Polls will only be available to Tier 4 Patrons.
For our first Manifest Fantasy Community Poll, please...

Note: Fires are starting to get contained. Looks like I'm safe guys.

The guard posts and firing positions looked more Pentagon than palace. Not the best against demons, but then again, that’s what the wall in the distance was for. The only threat worrying about here was simply unwanted visitors.
The singular path in was blocked by a simple checkpoint consisting of guards, a bar gate, and an arch off to the side. Kinda looked like one of those walk-through metal detector...

Lowkey might have to delay my uploads. I’ll keep you guys updated
LA Fires
A new fire apparently broke out in Hollywood hills, less than 6 miles away from me. I’m deep in the city so I think I’m safe, but I’m prepared for the worst. I’ll let you guys know if I receive any evacuation orders.

Three weeks of staring at the same view of Alexandria’s rooftops, and today, freedom.
Not that their suite wasn’t comfortable – they’d lived like kings. Well, probably not on the same level as King Armonde, but even then it wouldn’t change the fact that they had been birds in a cage. Outside was a real city, one that gave them exploratory blue balls.
Cole’s watch read 8:55, give or take. After three weeks around magic, baking in alien fields and being subjected to anot...

Three weeks into their new life in Celdorne, and it had been nothing but acclimating – the fantasy dream curdled into pure tedium. No adventures, no elf waifus, and definitely no freedom. Hell, they couldn’t even get time to leave the castle and explore!
All those grand expectations, subverted to hell and back. And here they were, getting steamrolled under the weight of cram sessions, like it was finals week all over again. If this wasn’t disillusionment, what was?
But final...

Note: I have finally started to upgrade AE chapter counts for Patrons, starting with Tier 4. Tier 4 can now read 3 chapters ahead instead of just 2, and this will reach +10 by Spring. At the same time, Tier 3 Patrons will be able to reach +5.

“Wait, you better not tell me I’ve gotta thank you for the kiss.”
Almost two weeks of silence, and the second thing out of his mouth was giving them shit. Cole grinned. “Hell no, we drew straws and Miles lost – poor bast...

Btw, I'm gonna be upgrading Tier 4 starting this upcoming Monday. Rn they're at +2 chaps for Arcane Exfil. I'll probably add an extra one per week until I reach the goal.
I'm looking to bump Tier 4 AE up to +10.
And for Tier 3, +5.
Then Imma work on bumping up MF chapter count.
Merry Christmas and have a good rest of the year everyone!
Arcane Exfil Chapter 13: Awakening
Note:
Hey guys, I'm gonna skip a week for Christmas, so there's no update scheduled for December 23. Chapter uploads will resume on December 30. Lay back, spend some time with your families, and have a Merry Christmas/Holiday!

After days of practice, magic had become almost routine. Granted, directing the elements with pure thought still felt pretty surreal.
Verna had them lined up for progress demonstrations, but they all knew it was just a formality. They’d c...

Miles checked his watch for about the tenth time since breakfast. “First actual spells, huh?”
Cole glanced over. Good to see the man excited about something – anything. Nothing like new toys to get an operator’s mind right and away from the reality of being tossed into another world.
“Betcha it’s gonna be fire,” Ethan said, mirroring Miles. “Fantasy shit always starts with fire.”
Miles snorted. “Hell, wouldn’t shock me if they had us crunchin’ n...

NOTE: I'm gonna start upgrading Patreon when my rising stars run on RR is over, so maybe after Christmas. Right now there are only 2 extra chapters, but expect that to grow. Maybe up to 10 for Tier 4 patrons and 5 for Tier 3 by the end of winter next year.

“Have I ever mentioned how much I seriously hate, loathe… disdain meetings?” Ethan grumbled as a guard led them through the halls.
“Well shoot, don’t reckon I’ve heard that on...

NOTE: I'm gonna be uploading more frequently, possibly 2 chaps a week for a bit. My uploads will be a bit inconsistent, but they'll be more frequent.

Consciousness returned in stages – first the phantom throbbing in his shoulder, then the realization that the sunlight hitting the far wall came from directly overhead. Shit, was it afternoon?
Head was clearer than it had any right to be though, given the doses of strange medicine the healers had given him....

One group of monsters by the breach, another by the doorway, and not enough ammo to deal with either – oh, if only the situation were conducive to a happy ending. Cole checked the AKS in his hand. Well, maybe they did have enough ammo to deal with one of the groups, but only if isolated. “Man… Fuck the demons.”
“Hell, we shoulda take...

The creature’s glove clamped down on Cole’s forearm, crushing it with the force of what was damn near an industrial press. His strengthening magic was the only thing keeping his arm intact, but that was a stopgap at best against this kind of force.
He poured more mana into his arm, trying to reinforce the strengthening effect. The pain was tough to think through – white-hot pulses shooting up into his shoulder and down into fingers, which were starting to go numb. ...
