Book 8 is out now!
Hey everyone!
System Clash, Book 8 of System Universe is finally out on Kindle!
Oh, and if you read and enjoy, I would very much appreciate a written review. Doesn't have to be long or well thought out or anything. Ratings have been broken since the AWS outage either last week or the week before, and ratings just aren't going though.
And honestly, it would be helpful for any other authors you follow, too. I'm sure they would appreciate it.
Here is the link and blurb: 2025-11-12 14:38:21 +0000 UTC View Post

Derek nodded at Stella, and she nodded back. Malorie looked especially happy that Stella would be joining them. It was good that she was going to have a friend going with her.
With that thought, Derek moved on to the next two people who had stepped forward. “Bones, Ogre, are you sure?” he asked the skinny butler and giant man. “You are completely free. You don’t have to worry about the Assassin’s Guild anymore or anything. The two of you cou...

“By now, I am sure most of you either know or have your suspicions that I will be leaving soon,” Derek said. He paused and saw no change on the faces of those like Rayna and Jacks. Others, like Osian and Ryven, showed surprise, but not much. A few people, like Ashley and the elven Queen, wore looks of confusion. “Ashley,” Derek said, “would you like to ask a question?”
“Yes,” the woman broke out of her confused look. “But it is...

Chapter 618: Testing Connections and Gathering
After Derek left Braxton a few days ago, he got to thinking. Braxton had asked if he wanted him to bring Mara with him, and Derek had told him to go ahead. After having some more time to think about it, he realized that leaving would affect more than just those he would invite to go with him, so he spent the days leading up to his gathering informing most of the people he thought would be affected—even some of the ones he’d only ...

Derek had closed his eyes as he left the meeting. He had a lot to think about. However, before he was able to get even one thought, he heard the sound of metal crashing into metal. Suddenly, his eyes shot open to see Jace standing in front of Braxton with both of his blades pushed against Braxton’s warhammer.
Oh, right… they were just starting a fight, weren’t they? Derek thought. He knew that the dungeon Jace went inside wasn’t very hard...

Chapter 616: Dave’s Irritation
The avatar that Dave uses to keep an eye on his Davenresh System appeared in another dark room. It was his council room, where all of those he’d chosen as part of his council could come to meet. Currently, only three of the seats were occupied, and Sereph stood beside the head seat that belonged to Dave.
Dave slammed his hand down on the war table in the center of the room before walking over to his own seat and falling into it with a sigh...

“Speaking of him… are you stronger than he is? You said you are in the top three in your family? Is your family strong?” Derek asked.
“Is my family strong?” Dave chuckled. “You can say that. And to answer your questions… I am quite strong. Even though he is stagnant at a tier below me, it is possible that the Void Emperor could best me if he surprised me with his void powers. But in a head-to-head battle with all things equal? The best he ...

“Now, you already know about the safety that is provided by the Origin System once you become a resident or guest, but there are more reasons than that to want to take up residency,” Dave said. “The city provides residents with anything they could possibly need.”
“What do you mean by that?” Derek asked.
“Well, one can be born in the city and never have to leave because of the resources. There are schools and there are dungeons in the ci...

“Get rid of them?” Derek questioned. “So, what you’re saying is that if I get in a fight and ever have to use any void-related abilities, I should make sure to kill whoever I was fighting? Because if I don’t, they will likely report me to this Dorian guy?”
“Sort of,” Dave said with a shrug. “You don’t necessarily have to kill them, but you really must do whatever you can to keep them from spilling your secrets. You do have that...

“What do you mean by troublesome?” Derek asked. “You told me that the void affinity was rare, but is it really that dangerous for me?”
“As an affinity? No, it’s not dangerous… unless you use that skill you have to call down an Ascendant Void Beast. If you do that… then you are dead, and everything and everyone around you is dead,” Dave replied. “Well, that’s not exactly true. Ascendant Void Beasts are very smart—almost the same as you an...

In Derek’s immediate surroundings, he could see the same or at least a similar dark room that he’d been summoned to on multiple occasions. The thing that really clinched it, though, was the ephemeral voice that sounded like it was coming from everywhere at once. So, his ability to pull me in here has to do with the dungeon orbs. Does that mean that he can’t just yoke me up out of nowhere? he thought as he continued to scan the area.

A/N: I know I said that I was only going to do two chapters a week for the time being because my backlog is... very small(nearly nonexistent), but I thought it'd be best to drop this one now so the cliffs don't all end up next week if everything goes the way I expect. (Like it ever does...)
Anyway, enjoy!

“Your system access is limited?” Derek asked. “Did you get any notifications about being out of range or one system detecting the other?”
“No, nothing like that,” Jace replied.
“What about anything from a system that isn’t the Universal System? The notifications from the Davenresh System come in notification boxes instead of just text.”
“No, I still have the same old system that I’ve always had,” Jace replied.
“Oh… so...

“Look!” Kelvin said as he pointed at the screen. Holcom and Vendra stopped arguing for a moment, then turned to see what he was pointing at. “The notifications have disappeared.”
“What does that mean?” Vendra asked.
“It means that Derek and his companion have left for the time being,” Holcom said. “And if they decided to take Jace with them, then there is even less of a chance that you can kill him.”

A/N: Sorry, only the two chapters this week, too, and maybe for the time being. That final push to finish book 8, get it edited, and then the webtoon coming out all at the same time was rough, and I pretty much destroyed any backlog I had posting three--sometimes four--chapters each week. (which I may have already mentioned. idk... I don't remember. My memory has left the building). So, we are back to two chapters for the time being while I reset and work on planning out this arc better.

“Looks like that’s everyone finally,” Derek said.
“I was waiting for some grand declaration or something else important to happen, but that doesn’t look to be the case,” the now slightly less old-looking Marrick said as he looked around.
“I imagine all that happened while we were in that white space,” Derek replied. “If you look around hard enough, you can even tell that the systems already cleaned up a bit after the inva...

The webtoon is finally here! Rate, follow, like, subscribe... I honestly don't know what all you can do on Webtoon, but I would appreciated any of it. Also... not sure how this is going to go out, so sorry if I clicked something wrong. I am basically a boomer when it comes to this stuff.

Chapter 605: Hot Potato
A/N: Just the two chapters this week while I try to get some backlog going and try to get into a rhythm. Post manuscript edits and stuff is always super tiring. On the bright side, just finished the second round of edits, so I'm pretty sure book 8 is ready to go out to Adam any time now. Now it will all depend on schedules and such. I do enjoy the book and audio releasing at the same time, so here's hoping.
Now, I'm working with Aethon with a book 8 cover. Hopefully it turns out pretty ...

Chapter 604: Marrick’s Dilemma
Derek, from the dais, cautiously walked down toward Marrick. The man was obviously thinking hard about something and was completely lost to the rest of the world. In the end, his mind was so preoccupied that he didn’t even notice Derek approaching him. Even when Derek was standing right beside him, the Old Goblin didn’t move a muscle. He kept muttering something that Derek couldn’t make out.
After looking at his short time remaining in...

A/N: Also, please ignore if you start seeing the first part of the chapter appearing more than once. Patreon updated their UI and stuff again, now it's even more of a pain than it was, and when I change membership tiers, it adds the first line like one or two more times as [Preview], but the thing is, it doesn't look like it goes away.
I have gone through and edited a bunch that happened, but I'm sure I've missed plenty. I don't think it happens with new chapters, just ones that I have...

Derek, along with everyone else, looked over at the group of nine remaining Champions. The Champions looked excited, and why wouldn’t they? They had completely lost the invasion, but it looked as though the system was being very generous today. However, that excitement was stalled by Sereph’s next words.
“Don’t be so excited yet. You did lose,” Sereph said. “Now, first on the list and the Champion with the fewest contributions out of the bun...

A/N: Added pic to not spoil. Figured might as well add the Webtoon release announcement one since I needed to add one anyway. But look! Silvi at bottom right. Also, just about got the book 8 edited. I'm actually a little hopeful that we will be able to release the audio simultaneously. I'd say the chances are up to like... 25% or maybe a little higher.

I'm still working on my manuscript for book 8, so, with that and Labor day weekend coming up, only the two chapters this week, and next probably (we'll see). We'll be back to regular chapters (non-interlude) next week.
