My body tenses, House Draconis, she is related to Dallus somehow. The man that Luna slew to protect me. Is this like Mallock coming for revenge for me killing Betran? My eyes trace her stance, hand moving toward what I have hidden in the folds of my clothes. Can I beat ...

Chapter Seventy-Nine – Tutorial – Part Two


There are always exceptions…

- Sage -


Haethur still hasn’t replied to the Goddess that replaced Kodah as the opposition’s counsel, almost like he’s unsure of what to do.

Sage leans in toward me, “Meatsack, this is the first time I’ve seen a full-fledged god be counsel. Be very careful with what you say, and agree to nothing without my a...

Update / Changelog / Weekly Schedule

Dear Patrons,

I have changed a few things for Hail Thy Gods and Respec On Death during the sweeping edit process. When they are fully edited, I will post a single file if you want to go back and reread it.

Changes for Respec On Death:

  • Made the intelligence debuff more obvious and questioned by Jimmy at a few moments in the story, as well as being mentioned by Mira in their first encounter. Also during the initial Respec process it is in one of the Red text boxes.

Perception is reality, and reality is rarely perceived.

- UWO Lieutenant Colonel Averant -


“First order of business,” Haethur begins, sitting up straight, a placid look on his face, “Whether or not the Anomaly shall be allowed to live. State your arguments.”

I look over at Sage, the expression on his face tells me that he lives for mo...

The argument continues, though I’m not sure it should be called that, only Kodah seems pissed. Haethur doesn’t seem bothered by the abusive language, I’d wager he’s used to it. Sage seems to be enjoying himself with the occasional jab here and there. I haven’t joined in, I’m still worried about everyone els...

Dear Patrons,

I hope you all had a great week!

ROD Book one edits are finished and I will be sending it to my publisher later today.

HTG is about a quarter of the way done, and I'm sure all of you don't want to wait another week for new chapters, which is entirely understandable. So, I will work on it slowly on Sundays instead of taking another week off to edit it. If that doesn't prove to be enough time then I will swap out Wednesdays and Saturdays for a week or two to he...

Dear Patrons,

As I said before, I will be doing a sweeping edit of book one for ROD and HTG, adding in about 10-20k words of detail work for both. I should be finished by next Sunday as I will be focusing entirely on that instead of writing new chapters. When it's finished, I will send it to my publisher to get the professional edits.

I hope you've all had a great week so far, for the American's here, happy early 4th of July.

ROD book one will be wrapping up either this week or next, when that happens, I will be taking a week to finish editing Book one of ROD and HTG, also adding in about 10-20k words of detail work describing scenes and people's appearances (some of you may have noticed they are a little sparse, apologies).

The will to continue against all odds is something that my father taught me as a boy. There were no medals given to him for his sacrifice, no accolades, no special service. None of that would have mattered to him. He had a simple motto, one that caught fire with those who survived during the gate i...

I hope your weekend was good and you had time to kick back and relax a bit.

For those that did not see the poll put up 2 days ago, please go vote on it, as it decides the schedule for the next month of Patreon.

As the results so far are essentially 50/50 for HTG(51%) and ROD(49%) I will be splitting time between them as evenly as possible. I will check the poll at the end of the week to ensure it’s still accurate.

Dear Patrons,

7 x Chapters for HTG (8 if you count the glossary)

That is more than double the minimum that I promised. Hopefully you all enjoyed it.

So, as I only have one tier, I don't know exactly what everyone is here for.

Some of you are here for both, which is great! Some of your only enjoy one of the stories, so, to make it fair, monthly I will b...
