A quick drawing as apologies for the next chapter since it might take some time

Gold Digging— 29. Dark Colossus and Death.

Amy quickened her pace to catch up with the others, her mind still reeling from the conversation with Libris—the cracked cover memory not leaving her for a single second—but she forced herself to focus on the immediate situation.

"There you are," Ash said as she rejoined the group. His golden eyes studied her face briefly. "Something wrong?"

"Fine," Amy replied, adjusting her satchel. "Just needed a moment."

Lyra glanced back at her with obvious suspicion. "You looked li...

Gold Digging 28— The Cracked Cover

Amy's brain short-circuited as she stared at the headmistress sitting behind her desk. Her mouth hung open, but no words came out.

All that careful planning. The explosion distraction. The giant magical thingy. The sneaking around. The strain of breaking through those wards. All of it... for absolutely nothing.

I want to take a nap...

The silence stretched uncomfortably as everyone stood frozen. No one seemed able to find their voice—not even Ash, who ...

Gold Digging 27— Ez.

I haven't had this much of a hard time writing a chapter since 10, and that was because of a plot hole. Meanwhile this shit just randomly decided that it wasn't going to write it self. No jocking had to go out and touch actual grass and stare at the nuages for hours cause I was going to go crazy. Next chapter should be easy, but if it isn't amma just kill myself 😭😭.

Also no PDF and epub version because my internet went off and I'm at Burger kin...

About the chapter schedule.

So I got asked what the schedule plan is, and I want to make it clearer for everyone (sorry if these posts feel too spammy but idk how else to relay this information.)
Right now I'm trying to post one chapter a day in Patreon until we at least get to 15 advanced. Sometimes like today, or yesterday, I just can't get the chapter out for any reason (right now I'm blocked in a scene.). But I promise I'm trying my best.

(Edit: the schedule is Monday/Thursday once we get to 15. I forgot t...

Suggestions?

Anything you guys want to share? Like something this Patreon lacks apart from chapters?
I have been thinking of using Patreons as commenters but dunno how to implement that. Also been thinking about doing side stories or sharing some of my other work already done not related to this series. But idk.
Give me your suggestions so I can make your moneys worth.

Gold Digging— 26. A Crude Distraction

Amy froze in the doorway, her eyes locked on the unexpected figure seated at the table. 

Iris Wright—a senior student and secondary character in the manga, with copper skin and muscular physique—seemed equally surprised to see her there. The girl's braided hair was pulled back in a tight ponytail, and she wore the Academy's uniform with the sleeves rolled up, exposing forearms corded with muscle. 

Crow cleared his throat, drawing Amy's attention. "Everyone's here n...

Amy and dog.

Probably shouldn't have posted it yet since I was saving it, but since it's already on discord and I wanted to share it in next royalroad chapter, I'm gonna put it here.

Gold Digging— 25. That Time I Slept for Thirteen Hours, Cuddled with Literature, Painted a Blob-Dog, Got Schooled at Chess, and Still Managed to Be Fashionably Surprised at the Most Important Journey of My Life.

Saturday. Eastern Wing's infiltration day.

"Mmmmgghhh," Amy groaned eloquently, stretching her arms high over her head. 

Blinking against the sunlight pouring through her dorm window, she cracked open her eyes, disoriented for a moment. 

Stupid curtains. Always fucking open...

Still groggy, she pushed herself upright while rubbing at her eyes. It was only then that she noticed the book lying beside her on the left side o...

Gold Digging— 24. Exhausted

Friday. One day before entering the Eastern Wing.

Amy woke up before dawn, her eyes opening to darkness. 

She brushed the dampness from her cheeks with trembling fingers, trying to process the nightmare that had jolted her awake. 

The fragments of the dream clung to her, refusing to let go—her mother's voice calling her name from somewhere unreachable, and that overwhelming feeling of weakness.

[Good morning,] Libris greeted fr...

Gold digging— 23. Countdown.

Tuesday. Four days before entering the Eastern Wing. 

Amy grimaced as she tried to channel energy through the spirit focus stone for what felt like the hundredth time.

"This is impossible," she muttered, glaring at the stone as if it had personally offended her.

[You’ve been at it for fifteen minutes. Mastery typically requires more than a quarter-hour of halfhearted effort.]

"Fifteen minutes is practically an eternity," she grumbled, s...
