WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 61

After reaching the Fourth State of Spiritualism with the lightning element, I went about gathering the necessary ingredients to create a Yin-Yang Spiritual Enhancement Pill for the water element.

The ingredients required for this pill were subtly different. While most of the ingredients were the same, some of them, like the scales from a Lightning Chimera and the essence blood of a Thunder Leopard, had been changed to bone marrow of a Six-Headed Water Serpent and essence bl...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 60

I climbed back up Mount Himmellyn. It was easier this time than it had been the last time, or at least, that was how it seemed.

Stepping onto the mountaintop, I looked at the destroyed bird nest that had once belonged to the Giant Horned Lightning Eagle. It, like the rest of this mountaintop, had been thoroughly wrecked. Cracks split the ground. Several peaks had been annihilated. There was even a massive split that went from one side of the mountaintop to the other, making...

American Kitsune Manga?!

Do you all remember when I said American Kitsune was getting a manga? I've been waiting to show you these.

It's the first four pages of the manga adaptation. My artist and I are still hashing out the finer details, but we WILL be doing this soon.

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 59

There were a lot of steps involved with creating a Yin-Yang Spiritual Enhancement Pill. As I stood inside of the old cave me and that woman had lived in, I checked all of the ingredients to make sure everything was present and prepared properly. I didn’t want to accidentally use an ingredient that had been prepared wrong and ruin the entire process. I only had one shot at this. It needed to count.

S-rank Lightning affinity monster core? Check. Lif flowers? Check. Death...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 58

We did not emerge from the bedroom for another hour, though when we finally did leave, the first thing we did was take a bath in our private bathing room on the first floor before heading back upstairs to get changed.

My clothes from before had been more or less ruined. A pity since they were my favorite. I donned a white shirt with a collar, a sleeveless leather jerkin, and brown pants and boots. They were made from Acromantula silk and the hide of a Bear-Scorpian—a B-rank Demon Beas...

April 1st Newsletter

It's the start of a new month, which means more news!

Let me begin by saying that a few days ago, Amazon removed one of my books from their catalog. Apparently, they found a website that had posted WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior volume 1 and made it free to read, which violates their content guidelines. They did not believe I owned the rights to my own story and therefore removed it AND suspended my account, meaning I was unable to publish.

To make a long story s...

Quaaaa!”

The Giant Horned Lightning Eagle noticed me the moment I walked out from behind that boulder. Its electric blue plumage sparked. It flapped its wings once, unleashing a powerful gust of wind that nearly knocked me into the air. A bolt of lightning flew in my direction, so fast I would have missed it had I not already entered the Third State of Spiritualism.

Hrrrrgggg!!!”

Pain blasted through my body as I raised my hand and re...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 56

I had moved with the Nevarian Spiritualists to Demon Beast Pass. I would have gone back by myself, but even I would not be able to defeat an army of over sixty thousand on my own. Smashing against the army like an anvil and a hammer required a force that was at least somewhat comparable in size and strength.

I was strong.

But I did not have the strength of sixty thousand.

We made out way through the forest, with me, Dante, and Hellen at the head. After we had crossed over th...

Mother… lost?

Kari stared at the spot where her mother had fallen. Her breath was rising and falling, showing that she wasn’t dead yet, but she had still fallen and was now lying on the ground, unconscious alongside Sigrid and Herleif. All three of them had been beaten. Meanwhile, Grimm Kriger was already dead.

A quick glance at Catalyna and Marko confirmed their grief for her; tears poured down their faces as they held each other. Marko seemed to be doing a little be...

A Serious Talk

Christine didn’t think she’d ever been more uncomfortable in her life.

She was uncomfortable when she was with Kevin, but it was a completely different kind of discomfort. That kind made butterflies flutter in her chest and warmth travel to her cheeks. This made her insides squirm like a bunch of worms were wiggling around inside of her intestines.

I need to say something, but what should I say? Should I apologize? How would that even work? I can’t see something like, ...

“Here, take this Blood Clotting Pill and rest. You need it to replenish your strength.”

Feinrea placed a small red pill into the hand of a young woman decked out in the leather armor of a Nevarian Spiritualist, though her armor was dinged and scratched. The young woman was sitting the rampart wall, a large hole in her shoulder, which gushed blood like a fountain. Feinrea wanted to wrinkle her nose at the intense scent of blood, but she held back for the woman’s sake.

Kevin & Lilian

Lilian thought for a moment before shaking her head. “No. I like spending time with you more than anyone else. Still, I had a really good time.”

“Yeah… me too.”

Wearing a sunny grin, Lilian held her hands behind her back and rocked on her heels. “So, what did you want to talk to me about?”

“How did you know I wanted to talk to you?”

“Ufufufu,” Lilian giggled. “You forget who you’re talking to. Of course I would know when my mate wants to talk ...

There's a lot going on with the world at large, what with the Coronavirus and all the people panic buying toilet paper.

After an hour had passed, Lin rotated herself out with Kari, while Herleif was rotated out with Hilda Astralia.

“This is actually a good opportunity.” Kari looked at her mother as the woman spoke those words. In response, she gestured toward the incoming horde. “I want you to watch me closely. Learn how to use your own element more efficiently by seeing how I attack.”

“Yes, Mother.”

As the other Spiritualists continued to hold the line, the empress stepped forwar...

Iris Kiss

Kevin laid on his bed, his hands behind his head as he stared at the ceiling.

Lilian and Iris weren’t with him that night. They were sleeping in the living room with Christine. He’d been invited to join them by Lilian, but he’d declined. Christine hadn’t seemed comfortable with the idea, and he also wasn’t sure if sleeping with a trio of pretty girls would be good for his health.

However, without someone else present, Kevin was left to contend with his thoughts, and his ...

Kevin x Iris

Holy shit.

Iris wondered if she’d stepped into one of her sister’s wet dreams. That was the only way she could’ve explained what had just happened.

Sure, she’d already known that Kevin was tough. She’d seen him fight, fought alongside him, and even watched him takedown creatures that he had no right taking down on his own. With everything they’d been through, if Kevin hadn’t grown strong, he would have died.

That did not prepare her for this. Kevin had...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 52

I had been worried that I wouldn’t make it in time. Having rushed straight here using the Flash Step Version 3: Lightning Step, I had propelled myself through the forest like a flash of lightning and arrived to find the clearing where the Nevarian Spiritualists were stationed in chaos.

The first thing that hit me was actually the smell, an acidic scent derived from the incredible toxic poison of the Basilisk, which reminded me vaguely of sulfur. After the smell came sounds. Screams an...

Hawa! Welcome Home!

Kevin wasn’t sure what to expect upon returning home, but he imagined that having a wet, voluptuous, and naked fox woman running around the house while her maid tried to dry her off with a towel was all par for the course.

Camellia looked like what Kevin imagined Lilian and Iris would look like in a few decades. She was taller than both of them, and her breasts were several cup sizes larger. With hair the same color as Iris, and joyful eyes that were almost identical to Lilian’s, th...

Caught in the Act

Sex with Lilian was easily one of the most amazing things ever. Kevin wasn’t sure if he could ever adequately describe what it was like to make love to his mate. Lilian was enthusiastic, energetic, and loved trying new things, and since they were both relatively new to the joys of sex, it meant neither one of them had any more experience than the other. It was a process that they were learning together.

“A-ahn! R-right there, Beloved!”

She was also very vocal. Lilian had no ...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 51

We reached Demon Beast Pass with time to spare. The large cliff faces on either side loomed over us at an impressive height. They were so steep that it was almost impossible to climb. It was these very cliffs that had kept Nevaria safe all these years. Flying Demon Beasts like Pteranodons didn’t normally bother flying over it, while Demon Beasts that didn’t possess wings couldn’t climb up it. The only way to reach Nevaria from here was through this pass.

“There’s movement in the distance,” Ingrid said suddenly, snapping everyone into the present.

Her words made me look up from the ground, which I had been silently staring at in contemplation, to see that, indeed, there was something moving in the distance. Several somethings.

The Pteranodon Valley was large. According to the maps, it spanned about 50 kilometers in length and .2 kilometers in width. It was much longer than it was wide.

Hello one and all!

Since it is a new month, I've got some new stuff to talk about here on Patreon.

By this point, I've revealed why I decided to use dream sequences to reveal Eryk's past as opposed to conventional flashbacks. While I am a discovery writer and primarily write without any real idea as to where my story is going, this was one of the few ideas I planned out well before I began writing this series. I like the idea of Eryk and his women being tied together through a mag...

I only needed one last ingredient to create the Yin-Yang Spiritual Enhancement Pill—the monster core of an S-rank Demon Beast with a lightning element affinity.

It had taken me months to discover where I could find such an S-rank Demon Beast. I had scoured the entire land looking for one, traveling to some of the most dangerous places I could think of, and nearly getting myself killed by running afoul several hordes of A-rank Demon Beasts. To be honest, I had only discove...

I finished that woman’s second request. It took days to slip into Nevaria undetected while carrying her body through the streets. Since my goal wasn’t to get into a confrontation, and I didn’t want to run the risk of her body being torn apart, I had to carefully sneak through the city using the Flash Step until I reached the base of the mountain upon which the Imperial Royal Palace once sat.

The Imperial Royal Palace was still technically there, but it had long since ...
