WIEDERGEBURT Act IV: Chapter 3

We were packed and ready to leave several days after Kari and I informed Hilda of our decision. Our provisions were all packed up and stored inside of our storage rings. I wasn’t sure how much we needed, but it would take at least one year to cross the Endless Desert, so I made sure we had enough food and water to last two. This might have been considered overkill by most people. However, since our storage rings could hold anything placed inside of it in a form of stasis, meaning the inside...

WIEDERGEBURT Act IV: Chapter 2

“I see. So you are planning to leave Nevaria.”

Empress Hilda Astralia looked like a less busty but more elegant version of her daughter as she sat at the table, sipping tea. Dressed in a loose flowing gown that had a slit running down one side, exposing her thigh, the woman presented an image of grace that few could match. Even the simple act of drinking from her teacup seemed like a move calculated to be as graceful as humanly possible.

Behind her was Valence, the stern-faced...

May 2020 2nd Newsletter

It's after the second half of the month, and I have some news to share with everyone.

I just uploaded the first chapter of WIEDERGEBURT Act IV yesterday. It's available to Kitsune-tier patrons.

Act IV will be different from any other act I've written, first because there will no longer be any flashbacks. The flashbacks in the first three acts served several purposes: world-building, showcasing Eryk's character development, introducing characters who will show up in later acts, rev...

WIEDERGEBURT Act IV: Chapter 1

I sat behind my desk, reading over the latest report regarding the Nevarian Braves’ finances. It looked like we were taking in a lot more valis than we were spending, which meant we had a good deal of room to expand our base of operations, but we had already expanded so much, going from 400 members to 1,000 within the last six months. Not only had our numbers increased, but our sect headquarters had been remodeled.

I didn’t know if expanding our operations again would be a good idea...

T-Shirts Anyone?

A lot of people have been asking me about the T-shirt that Chris was wearing in Catgirl Doctor Volume 1. Some have asked me if I ever plan to make that into a T-shirt.

Don't worry, fam. I got you covered.

I'd like to ask for everyone's advice. Which design do you like better?

Also, if you like neither design and want something else, feel free to offer suggestions.

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 70

I never expected to see you again,” Erica said as she, myself, and the group she belonged to walked through a dense forest.

This forest bordered a small mountain. There wasn’t anything special about it. The scent of flora tickled my nose, while bird song and the chirping of various animals passed through my ears. Everything about this place screamed unmolested. It was like an oasis within the Endless Desert, a place untouched and unsullied by the war against the Sekb...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 69

It wasn’t just that small town that had been destroyed. When I reached Vahn, it was to discover that the entire city was in ruins. Buildings had been half-reduced to rubble and corpses littered the streets. Also, unlike the small village I had come from, Sekbeists had overrun the city once again.

Using the Fourth State of Spiritualism for lightning and water, I decimated the Sekbeists within the city. Tidal waves crushed numerous bodies. Bolts of lightning rained down fro...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 68

There was nothing left for me to do in Nevaria. The Demon Beasts were dead. I hunted down each one. I spent an entire month making sure all the Demon Beasts living in Nevaria were dead and gone. With the promise I had made keeping me going, I wanted to make extra sure nothing could ever disturb that woman’s grave or this city again.

Once I finished hunting down all the Demon Beasts, I left, traveling across the Endless Desert. I didn’t walk on land. I flew. With my cont...

Man Made God 001 - Scene 3

The next morning began the same as usual. After kissing Aris awake, Adam washed her body and hair, toweled her off, dressed her, and combed her hair before making breakfast. Since the process of curing Mortems Disease involved being put to sleep for a certain period of time, Adam made her favorite: red velvet cinnamon rolls with homemade frosting.

Fayte had also liked the cinnamon rolls.

In fact, Adam thought Fayte enjoyed the cinnamon rolls even more than Aris.

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 67

Dying screams and pitiful wails echoed throughout the streets of Nevaria. The sounds were so horrendous that I was sure anyone would have turned green merely from listening. Even I did not have the words to adequately describe the terrifying sounds that echoed all around me, and I was the one causing those sounds.

Several Demon Beasts came racing toward me. Their large bodies were about two or three times bigger than my own, their shoulders were hunched, and they raced towa...

It's a new month, which means I have a few new things to talk about.

WIEDERGEBURT Act III is almost at an end. With the end of this act, the dream/memories that Eryk and his harem have been experiencing will stop because they will have caught up to where Eryk's past life ended before traveling through time. I plan on reintroducing several characters who appeared in the past in this new timeline. You'll learn more stuff about some of the side characters that you didn't know before.

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 66

Immediately after leaving the archipelago, I returned to the cavern and worked on creating the Yin-Yang Spiritual Enhancement Pill for the water element. It took several days. However, I think the amount of time it took was shorter than when I made this pill for the lightning element. If nothing else, creating it at least seemed easier to me.

After creating the pill, I returned to the sea.

Walking down at the bottom of the sea, I manipulated the water around ...

Man Made God 001 - Scene 2

He and Aris lay on their sides, facing each other. Adam was tenderly stroking Aris’s cheek, brushing back her hair, and gazing into her soft eyes. His heart felt at ease. At this moment, at least, he did not worry about her Mortems Disease. He merely let himself fall into her eyes… the eyes that had saved his soul when he was on the brink of giving up.

“Adam, will you kiss me?”

“I thought kisses were something princes gave to princesses in order to wake them up.”

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 65

After the battle against Leviathan, I was discovered unconscious by a worried Lorelei, who’d apparently gone out after I didn’t return for several days. According to her, I had been found washed up on one of the islands in this archipelago.

My body had been pretty battered, which I expected. Not only had I fought against an S-rank Demon Beast, but I had also been crushed by an entire sea’s worth of water. I think it was more miraculous that I was alive at all. However...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 64

There was hardly a moment’s time to hesitate. The Leviathan opened its massive mouth and began sucking all the water toward it, creating a terrifying suction force that pulled at the small sphere I had encased myself in.

Of course, I wasn’t just going to stand there and take this, so I used my ability to manipulate water to try and swim away. I didn’t swim back, however. That would have been dumb. The force pulling me in was too great. Instead, I created a propelling ...

The Spiritualist Grand Tournament has begun. Eryk Veiger is determined to win, not just so he can remove Grant Leucht from Kari’s and Fay’s lives, but also so he can request that Kari be freed from the life of a caged bird and let Lin walk in the sun without fear of being mistaken for a Demon Beast.

Yet someone working in the shadows is determined to make sure Eryk d...

Man Made God 001 - Scene 1

The young woman was, quite frankly, adorable. Her skin, whiter than freshly fallen snow, had a light shade of pink dotting either cheek. It was not from makeup that made them that way. Fayte could tell her blush was natural. Her small nose was cute and her pink lips were stretched into a refreshing and pure smile. Bright blue eyes peered out at the world, revealing a breathtaking innocence that Fayte could not believe existed in such a cruel and merciless world as this one. This girl was pret...

The Leviathan roamed far out at sea, further than I’d ever been. King Neptune had said it had taken Atlantia, home of the Merfolks, as its home now, and it was constantly seen swimming around the supposed underwater city.

I had gone out to sea alone. Walking along the water’s surface, I stretched my Spiritual Perception out as far as I could. Much of the world around me appeared gray, but there were several blue flames swimming through the ocean nearby—B-rank Selkath,...

Lorelei had asked me to meet her at a small inlet on the other side of the island in two days time. I spent those two days meditating on the elemental affinity of lightning. Within the deepest region of my subconscious, I remained next to my Spiritual Power, the strange nebula and those floating spheres, studying the changes that my Spiritual Core had undergone.

When the time to meet with Lorelei finally arrived, I packed up my camp and headed toward the inlet. I had a feel...
