Volume 7 - Scene 01

Here is the first scene for WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior volume 7.

Can you guess what chapter this is from?

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 15

It had been a really long time since I slept on a bed. I believe that was the reason I found myself sleeping for so long despite the fact that I could go half a month on very little sleep. By the time I woke up, the sun had risen high into the sky.

“Master Eryk?” A knock came at the door. “Lady Fray and Lord Tor have requested your presence for lunch.”

I sat up on the bed and stretched the kinks out of my muscles, wincing as my back popped several times. My left arm was go...

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 14

I sat next to Fray, Tor, and Sif--Tor’s wife--inside of the banquet hall. Our seats were situated on an elevated platform that allowed us to view everyone else. Thousands of people were currently present, enjoying the revelry of the feast that had been prepared by Ásgarðr’s chefs.

A mouth-watering scent filled the air. Four long tables had been set up, and all kinds of food had been piled onto each one. There was braised Demon Bull meat, the head of a Giant Pork Beast, barbequed W...

Sorry!

Sorry, everyone!

I got my update days mixed up. I didn't sleep well last night, so I've been a bit, uh, discombobulated.

I will post the next chapter for WIEDERGEBURT tomorrow since I accidentally posted Catgirl Doctor 3 today.

March 2020 1rst Newsletter

Hello patrons!

It's March now, which means a few things.

I'll begin posting chapters for Catgirl Doctor 3 starting tomorrow. This is the last of my SoL harem series, Catgirl Doctor, and it's been a long time in coming. New chapters will be posted on Tuesday and Friday.

WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior is still ongoing. Act VI is going to have a lot of major reveals. Some of the plot threads I've been teasing since Act I will finally be answered, including Ery...

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 13

When Fray told me Ásgarðr was bigger than Ironwood Forest, I had not believed her. Those feeling lasted until we stepped up to a massive rainbow colored bridge.

The bridge itself was several kilometers long and wide enough that a battalion of one hundred troops could march across it shoulder to shoulder with room left over.It was made out of some sort of multi-colored glass. And beyond the bridge was a massive fortress so large it left me stunned.

The fortress was enclosed on al...

Genshin Impact on Twitch!

Genshin Impact won the poll, so I'll be streaming it on Twitch today at 5 pm MST - Arizona time in other words.

Feel free to join me and my Genshin Impact harem - er, I mean, my Genshin Impact team. No harem here. No sir. It's not like I'm the Harem King or anything.

American Kitsune Book 1 Republish!

When I first began publishing, I was ignorant. I knew nothing about publishing, light novels, or anything. I just knew I wanted to write a book and put it out there.

My first series ever published was kinda sloppy. Because I didn't know much about publishing, the books were not as good as they could have been, and the trim size I used was monstrously huge. 6x9 inches.

Now that I know a bit more about publishing, I've decided to republish my original series in paperback using the s...

Guess what Mykel/Opis just sent me?

I've gone ahead and added the title and text. What do you think?

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 12

The battle started off without warning. Before I even knew what was happening, several hundred arrows were fired from Fray’s bow. However, they didn’t shoot forward like normal arrows. They disappeared, then reappeared around Durmuz and flew at him from every conceivable angle.

Too bad Durmuz wasn’t there anymore.

The Sekbeist Lord appeared in the sky above, the arrows striking into each other instead of him, detonating not with an explosion but with a warping of space. The ...

Stream Time?

What time should I stream this Saturday? Note, time zone is MST. Mountain Standard Time.

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 11

Panic raced through me as I realized what had just happened to stroll upon my battleground. I’d not met another Sekbeist Overlord since my battle with Dunherr, but I remembered his words perfectly. I specifically remembered him telling him that he and his two compatriots were the weakest among their brethren.

Killing Dunherr had been simple since he’d already used up so much Spiritual Power battling against Siv and didn’t even see me coming, but I at least recognized his power. If...

Video Game Stream This Month?!

It looks like video games won for this month's Twitch stream, which means we must now select what game shall be played.

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 10

I had long since lost count of the passage of time since coming to this forest. It could have been days. It could have been months. It could have been years. When every second you draw breath is a struggle to survive, it’s easy to lose track of concepts like time. Matters were not helped by my inability to see the sun.

The first thing I learned about this forest was that it was filled with danger beyond anything I’d ever faced. Even the most terrifying Demon Beasts in the Demon Beas...

New Story, New Characters Part 5 - Youmei

This is the last of the character sheets I have so far for Severing Time & Space.

Yōuměi is a female black yāomó panther, a demon beast. She was discovered, injured and alone, by Wu Meiying during a game of tag with Wu Jian. Despite his parents' protests, Wu Jian and Wu Meiying adopted her and named her Yōuměi.

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 9

Lin sat behind a desk, tail thumping against the floor in a steady rhythm as she read the latest report regarding the Nevaria refugees. Thanks to Empress Mother, several large housing units were being built in place of the mansion that had once belonged to the now defunct Incelflors Family. That mansion had gone unused for the past five years since Kari and Fay demolished the family.

Along with the report was a request for financial aid and a fairly large number--the amount of valis the...

Do you want me to stream this month?

Let me know if you'd like me to do a Twitch stream this month.

Febuary 2nd News Letter

Patrons,

First and foremost, I'd like to wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day. If you've got a special someone in your life, be sure to treat them like the god or goddess they are. Men, if you haven't bought your girl a nice claymore yet, be sure to hurry up and do so now. Women love claymores.

Ahem.

So, I have a few things to mention now that we have reached the halfway point for this month.

As you all know, WIEDERGEBURT has entered its sixth act. That means we are cl...

Next Month's Patreon

This will be a little late for Valentine's Day, but here is a sketch for next month's Patreon art.

I'm going with Christine because she doesn't gets enough love.

Artwork is by Miura.

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 8

Fay emerged from the Warp Gate to find several of her fellow Nevarian Braves waiting on the other side. She recognized Ingrid and Bjark. Both of them smiled in relief when she came out, though their expressions paled when they saw the unconscious Lin in her arms.

“Is she all right?” asked Bjark.

“What happened?” asked Ingrid.

“We fought a very powerful opponent,” Fay said, shaking as she remembered the battle against the Great Overlord of--no, she supposed it wou...

New Story, New Characters Part 4 - Zhou Lihua

Here's the next character sheet for my latest wuxia story.

Zhou Lihua is the heiress to the Zhou Clan’s branch family in Zahn City, where Wu Jian and Wu Meiying live. Her father is Zhou Zu, the head of the Zhou Clan’s branch family in Zahn City. She was raised by her father with a lot of love and care, but also with a lot of expectations placed on her.

WIEDERGEBURT 7 Cover

Since I have finished posting chapters for A Most Unlikely Hero 9, I thought I would share this today instead.

It's a sketch Mykel just did for the WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior vol. 7 cover.

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 7

Kari, Siv, and I finally crested the Demon Beast Mountain Range that surrounded Nevaria. From the moment we appeared over the hill, the two of us were able to see what had happened to our city.

“Eryk… those creatures…”

“Yeah.” I nodded once, even as my eyes locked onto what Kari had seen. “Those are the divine elemental birds that the Great Overlord of the Seventh Plain attacked me with in my last life. I wonder why there are only three of them…”

“Those a...

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 6

Lin quickly merged back with the earth and felt out the earth bird’s presence. She wondered if she should give the damn thing a name, but she also didn’t think it was worth the effort since it would be a dead bird soon enough.

The earth bird was not hard to feel out. When you entered the Fourth State of Spiritualism and merged with your element, anyone who had also reached the Fourth State could feel you whenever you merged. All Lin had to do was feel the earth surrounding her.

New Story, New Characters Part 3 - Hou Jingshu

Another character model from the new series I'm working on to replace WIEDERGEBURT.

Hou Jingshu is the second female protagonist of Severing Time & Space and the first princess of the Shang Kingdom, youngest of four siblings. Her father is Hou Jun, the Emperor of the Shang Kingdom. She is also Wu Jian’s betrothed.

February 2021 1st Newsletter

Dear patrons,

I hope you've all been doing well. It is now February, which is the month of Valentine's Day. If you have a significant other, be sure to treat them to something nice this month. If you are like me and single, remember that it's dangerous to go alone and have your tissues on hand to...err...ahem.

Anyway, since it is the first of the month, I thought I'd talk about some of the things happening here on Patreon.

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 5

There were three of them. The most visible among the elemental birds were the one with yellow feathers, and the one with white feathers. They hovered in the air. The yellow one was shooting arcs of lightning that slammed into buildings, the ground, and people. Meanwhile, the white one was firing beams of condensed light from its mouth. Each beam slammed into the ground and tore straight through it as the bird tilted its head, creating thick trenches at least fifteen meters across and several ...

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 4

I was right when I thought Kari would enjoy the architecture of this place. The moment we entered the palace, she immediately began looking over everything within the entrance hall, studying the glowing crystals on the wall, looking at the colonnades lining the walls, and observing the seamless floor that was polished to a shine.

“I wonder how the floor has managed to remain spotless even after thousands of years of disuse,” Kari murmured to herself. “Could it be magic? Are there ...
