ROD - Chapter 134 (End of Book 2)

Chapter One-Hundred-Thirty-Four – Epilogue

Death is not the end… it is but a new beginning…

-Jimminite Prophecy-

The darkness stirs as I feel a strange familiarity with my surroundings. A more familiar pop up finds me next.

[ You have died. ]

My mind feels as it did before the buffs, before everything else. My grip on mana feels distant, just like reality.

I sigh, looking out at th...

Chapter One-Hundred-Thirty-Three – Carry the Torch

Hail Thy Gods… for I send you to meet them…

-Third Incarnation of Akronos-

“You don’t live in a world where all that I love is gone, you suffer in it.” Light springs forth from the heavens as my last set of runes activate, “You pray in such a world that you can escape the wrath that is mine.”

Sariel squints at me.

Another free month / Author Update

Dear Patrons,

Normally I don't talk about stuff like this, but I feel I should say something as it is impacting my work. Apologies for the light posting, I've been in an out of hospitals and clinics the last few weeks / months. My workflow has been less than what I wanted because of what's going on with me physically. So, in response to that, I will be making February another free month.

There will still be chapter posts on here and RR. However, I make no promises on posting thi...

Chapter One-Hundred-Ninety-Nine: Ata - Part Three

Planet: Etheria

My body looks more toned than before. It's been nearly two months since Solara left. My senses even feel sharper, though I’m not ready to admit to Dargo that his training seems to be effective. A storm patters against the glass as I peer into the endless lands of purple flowers and blue hues. It is a beautiful place, one where the water does not always...

Weekly Schedule Update

Dear Patrons,

ROD's chapter is in the works, it's going to be the final chapter for book two, it is over 4k words so far. Which is 2 chapters worth already and I'm not even finished with it. Instead of breaking it up into multiple chapters, I'm going to release it as one big and hopefully satisfying chapter. I may have it finished by Sunday, or at the latest Monday.

As always when a book gets finished, I take a week off from that book to edit and send to my publisher. Should be ...

Chapter One-Hundred-Ninety-Eight: Ata - Part Two

Planet: Etheria

Sweat beads from my brow as I stand across from Solara. Weeks have passed in what feels like days. Arrum rarely visits, only to replenish his supplies and consult Dargo, whom I still haven’t deigned to speak with yet. Some days he watches on the edges of the sparring mats, words almost daring to whisper guidance. There is still disdain in me for ...

Update / Delayed Schedule

Dear Patrons,

Really glad I made January a free month too. Oof, apologies for the delays, obligations caught up with me, and now I'm behind on writing. Instead of rushing through chapters and letting quality slip, I'm going to take Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to catch up. I'll also be rewriting a bit of the last chapter of ROD. The emotional tone at the end of the chapter feels a little muted considering what happened. Expect roughly 300-500 words of added content. When the next chap...

ROD - Chapter 132

The heavens shall tremble and the System shall kneel when the Prime rises…

-Jimminite Prophecy-

Starlight swims in my eyes as Mythren’s power enshrouds my soul and keeps it from being destroyed. His voice speaks in my mind.

Do not do this… do not doom the Cosmos for the sake of pride… you do not understand what this will do… if I fall with you… so too does the hope for this age…

ROD / Schedule update (Edited)

Dear Patrons,

[ Edit 24 Jan 2025, I was really busy, apologies. I will try to catch up by Monday. Thank you for your patience. ]

ROD chapter drop is going to be getting delayed until Friday. I've been doing final edits for book one all day, (apparently, they edited it again). My publisher asked me to do it ASAP so the narrator can start working on it. Anyway, I'll find time to write two chapters on Friday.

Also, I'm not sure book two of ROD will end by next week. It migh...

Heat is my muse when the cold embrace of death’s door seeps in and out of the marrow of my soul....

Chapter One-Hundred-Ninety-Six: Anakor - Part Three

Planet: Etheria

Time passes slowly as Ioquin patiently answers my questions. In some ways she reminds me of my mother when I was a boy. She used to be this patient with me as well.

“So, you’re saying that the first bound doesn’t decide if someone will walk the Netheric or the Etheric?”

She nods, speaking into my mind.

ROD news / Poll

Dear Patrons,

If you don’t like ROD please skip ahead to the poll.

ROD will likely get a book 4-5 now (potentially more, not sure yet). Book three will hopefully be epic and set the stage for book four. The ending of book two should be finished by next week, but it could go a little over that. Or I might just do a long chapter like I did for book one’s final fight.

The poll is for the new story, whether you want me to write a few more chapters of Starseed or if you wan...

It's been nearly twelve hours since we arrived at Haven station in the Talos system. Our... guest by request of the emperor has made herself at home already on my flagship.

It pains me to look at this woman. Not just because she’s attractive and I don’t want her to be. But because she’s got the dipshit wrapped around her finger. So much so that the Commander of the Alpha Uncaria is now babysitting her… or being baby sat by her… View Post

Starseed Chapters 1-2

* Author Note *

Title of series is temporary as is the name Alpha Uncaria and potentially some character names etc. This is a very rough draft. I'm posting a second chapter and working on a third because I felt the rhythm for the story so to speak. For those that read the first chapter, go ahead and skip to chapter two it's in this post. Those that haven't read it yet, this is #2 of the potential new stories.

Anyway, please leave your thoughts in the comments. Tha...

New Potential Story #2

* Author Note *

Started writing this one on a whim, not sure where exactly it's going, which could potentially be exciting. It will likely have LitRPG elements that show up in the first ten chapters. I don't want to give too many spoilers if this ends up getting picked. Let me know your thoughts or if you're interested in the comments. Thank you!

Dear Patrons,

I hope you all had a great year. Hopefully 2025 brought you lots of good memories and success.

HTG hasn't been getting much love, so I'll be pumping out a few chapters of that this week. Apologies for the delays. On a better note, I did end up writing roughly a third of book five for HTG, so when we get there in a couple months, it will be really fast postings.
