WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 3

It didn’t take more than a day to prepare for our journey. I spent the second day before the dragons arrived with my family. I played with Raul, refined alchemy pills with Fay, and traveled around Nevaria with Lin. While the journey to and from the floating island would not take long, I did not know what would happen once we arrived. I thought it best to take the time I had now and spend it with the people I loved before leaving.

The next day, I found myself standing just outside of M...

Small Art Update - MMG

This is a small update of next month's Patreon art.

I hired Lonwa to do the art this time. He's also my artist for Man Made God, so I hired him to do artwork of Aris and Fayte.

As always, the art will be delivered to the appropriate tiers near the beginning of the month.

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 2

Kari had gone into closed door training two years ago when the Monster Tamer Guild informed us that they checked every known area of the Northern Plains and couldn’t find an S-rank Demon Beast with a light element. That was when Kari decided she wasn’t going to wait around hoping for the impossible. She gathered information on light elemental manipulation from the Spiritualism Research Sect, asked Fay and I to make her alchemy pills that increased her ability to perceive the light element...

New Story, New Characters - Wu Jian

Hey all!

I'm in the process of writing a new story. This story is gonna replace WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior once I've finished posting it on Patreon. It's more pure wuxia/xianxia with all the silly tropes and cliched lines. Of course, this is gonna be a harem. I think y'all are gonna have a blast reading this once it's ready.

Wu Jian is the main protagonist of Severing Space and Time. He is the young master of the Wu Clan and the chil...

Halfway Jan 2021 Newsletter

Hey patrons!

We're a little past the halfway point in January, and I thought I'd write up a brief newsletter to let you all know what's going on.

WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior Act V is finished for Kitsune patrons and should be done for human patrons within the next two weeks. Act V has 50 chapters. I'm beginning to post Act VI, which features a timeskip. This act is going to introduce many new elements, characters, and plot twists that you hopefully never saw ...

WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 1

“Come on, Raul! Keep your eyes on your opponent! Don’t space out!”

“Ack!”

I grinned widely as Raul became distracted and bopped him over the head. My hit wasn’t hard enough to hurt him, but it certainly startled him back into focusing on me. It looked like he’d been staring at the members of my sect while they were training.

“Whenever you are fighting, you must always maintain a wary eye on your opponent. If this was a real fight, you would have been dead,”...

WIEDERGEBURT Act V: Chapter 50

It took half a month before the Nevarian Braves headquarters was repaired. I could have asked Empress Hilda to make it her first priority, but it didn’t feel right asking for her to help fix my sect’s base when so many buildings had been destroyed during the various battles that had taken place when we recaptured Nevaria. The first thing she did was allocate funds toward the repairs of those buildings. Only after everything else had been fixed did she repair mine.

Because it was imp...

WIEDERGEBURT Act V: Chapter 49

“Gunnleif!”

The first one to die was the one I had originally struck with a bolt of lightning. I held back when I was attacking back then because I didn’t want to do anymore damage to my mother-in-law’s home than I had to, but I didn’t hold back this time. Appearing before the man within a flash of brilliant blue, I impaled him through the chest with my enclosed hand. My hand slid through his chest like it was made of mud, tearing through his clothes, and exploding out of his ...

Catgirl Doctor 3 sketches!

Here are the sketches for Catgirl Doctor 3. I do not know when this volume will go live, but I'll be posting chapters for you all to read several months before it does.

Catgirl Doctor 3 is the final volume of the series. I believe slice of life stories should be short since there's not much you can write about before the story becomes redundant. It's not like WIEDERGEBURT, which is an epic fantasy that can never be told in just three short volumes.

After I finish this one, I might...

WIEDERGEBURT Act V: Chapter 48

Bjark did not know how many days they had been locked in this dungeon. It was buried deep beneath the surface, where no sunlight shone, and they were never let outside. Because of that, it was impossible to tell the time. The only thing he knew was that they were being given at least two meals a day. However, after so many days locked up like this, one day blurred into another until they were impossible to distinguish.

A loud scraping sound suddenly began echoing through the dungeon, ca...

So, I tried to set scheduled posts for A Most Unlikely Hero 9, but something got messed up and a few chapters were posted early.

I removed the chapters. They'll be posted at the appropriate times now. I hope.

Anyway, this is the last scene that'll appear in WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior 6. I'm thinking it'll be published on the 26th. There are a few problems I currently need to workout with the paperback, but I am hopeful that everything will be ready on schedul...

WIEDERGEBURT Act V: Chapter 47

We returned to the ruins three days after my battle with Sigrid. I would have liked to return sooner, but we still had things to do inside of Nevaria. After all, I had still promised to gather information on the people who betrayed Feinrea.

I didn’t want to walk through the Demon Beast Mountain Range, so naturally I decided to fly there instead. Stelys Valstine and Catherina were guarding the entrance when Feinrea and I set down.

“You’ve returned.” Stelys came up as I set ...

WIEDERGEBURT Act V: Chapter 46

There was an old saying that I read in a book once: Loose lips sink ships. It came from an old book about a soldier who mistakenly informed his enemy about when the ship he was one would set sail. They were going to war against a kingdom. The man he had spoken to had, unknowingly, been a spy for the enemy kingdom. After learning when the ship would set sail, the man he’d told ambushed the other man’s fleet and sunk it.

The place where that man had told the spy when his ship would be...

WIEDERGEBURT Act V: Chapter 45

Getting into Neveria was not as difficult as it sounded. After the plan to infiltrate Nevaria was decided, I flew back to the mountain range surrounding the city, flew over the mountains, and quietly landed in the forest. It was already late at night, so the watchtowers could not see us as we set down and disappeared in the thicket of trees.

“We’ve arrived,” I softly whispered to Feinrea.

Ever since I picked her up and began flying, Feinrea had been clinging to me, arms woun...

Sigrid stood near the burnt out remains of the Nevarian Braves headquarters, a sour look on her face as she eyed the building.

They could have renovated this place, torn down the building, and made something new, but her father had said he wanted to leave it as an example. The destruction of the Nevarian Braves was to serve as a deterrent to prevent others from getting any ideas of rebelling against the Drage Family.

Looking around revealed to her the evidence of combat. Scorch ma...

Gudmund could not keep the grimace off his face as he realized they had been duped. The light from before had vanished, making it clear to him that Hilda had been the one controlling it. He’d heard a rumor that she had the ability to create lights wherever and whenever she wanted without regard for where she was. He hadn’t put much stock into it, but it looked like it was true.

And now he didn’t know where they were.

There were a lot of problems with trying to find someone in the Demon Beast Mountain Range when you didn’t even know where to begin searching. The Demon Beast Mountain Range was vast, spanning who knew how many hundreds of kilometers. While the Northern Plains was the largest populated region on this continent, it still paled in comparison to the vastness of this area.

That was the reason no one knew how deep it was.

Well, that and the number of dangerous Demon Beasts living eve...

The frown that appeared on my face was not something I could stop as I stared unguarded gate. Even the two watchtowers that should have had someone manning the ballistea were unguarded. I felt something crawling up my spine. It was a shiver, a premonition that something bad had happened to Nevaria while I had been away. I’d never been one to ignore my bad feelings, and right now I was feeling particularly bad.

With a simple application of Spiritual Power, I flew over the unguarded gat...
