Because I needed at least one panty shot... this was thrown in for good measure.

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 36

My body felt like it was made of led. Every muscle ached, to the point where just trying to move them felt like an exercise in futility. I tried to move my arm, but I could barely lift it. Twitching my fingers was about all I could do. Even my Spiritual Power felt unstable. I couldn’t properly circulate the water element through my body to heal my wounds.

As I laid on what I was beginning to recognize as a very basic and uncomfortable mattress, I tried to remember what ha...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 35

I arrived back at the Neverian Braves headquarters later that evening, when the sky was colored with dusk and streaks of clouds like fire shot through it. A lot of people greeted me as I made my way up to my living quarters. I did my best to greet them back, but I was preoccupied with other thoughts. I was sure my greetings were half-hearted at best.

When I entered my living quarters, it was to find Fay, Kari, and Lin sitting on one of the two couches before my desk, eating a light meal...

Mykel finished the cover last night. I slapped the title, credits, and content warning. I think i turned out pretty good.

WIEDERGEBURT 3 Cover WIP

Mykel is currently working on the cover for Reincarnated Warrior Volume 3. This is what she has so far. I decided to make Lin the center piece here since she hasn't been on volumes 1 or 2, and this is the volume where she is first introduced.

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 34

Nevaria. What had once been a great city filled with over a million people had now become a haven for Demon Beasts. They crawled all over the city. Pteranodons made nests on top of buildings. Dire Wolves roamed the streets in packs. Silverbacks pounded their chests and bellowed at the top of their lungs as they invaded homes and battled each other. There were even several B-rank Behemoths like the one Kari and I fought, as well as a large number of A-rank Acromantula.

Here is some art from WIEDERGEBURT volume 2! I thought a little humor would be necessary to mitigate how dark some of this series got in the past timeline, especially at the beginning.

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 33

Demon Beasts were everywhere. I didn’t know if maybe their sense of territory had changed, but there were dozens of times more Demon Beasts within Nevaria now than there had been back when Kari and I first fled the city.

I glanced at the corpses strewn before me, which consisted of numerous types of Demon Beast, from the C-rank Dire Wolves to the B-rank Silverbacks.

They had attacked me moments after walking further into Nevaria. All of them had been just w...

A Most Unlikely Hero 7 Cover Reveal

Wanna know what comes out in February?

Here is the cover for A Most Unlikely Hero 7! I went with a starry/galactic background for this cover since our hero and his harem are traveling outside of the Sol System.

Here is the back of the book description that I came up with last night. It is still in the process of being fixed up:

The hero goes intergalactic!

Alex Ryker has finally accepted not only Gabrielle’s feelings for him, but also his own unusual lust for her—...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 32

I did not stay in the Endless Desert for long. Stopping briefly in cities to stock up on supplies and oasises to replenish my water, I made an almost straight shot for Nevaria.

I did run into some trouble with the Malik Family, who learned that I had killed their heir. The guards I let live probably told them. I should have killed them, but hindsight was always 20-20.

They sent dozens of assassins after me. They even hired several mercenary companies, but the...

Dear patrons,

Hello! I hope you all had a great new year and aren't too hung over to read this post. If you are, please take this moment to care of yourself. Drink some water, eat something greasy, and rest your eyes for a moment.

You all good now?

Awesome.

With the new year coming in, I've made some changes to Patreon. If you are a human, yuki-onna, nekomata, or succubus patron, then you do not have to worry. Nothing has changed for you. However, several changes have ...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 31

I was almost sure I had heard wrong. Someone wanted to abolish the marriage agreement with me and Fay? The idea that someone actually thought they could do this made me want to laugh, but something had stuck in my throat, stopping me from doing so.

“I’m not sure I understand,” Fay said suddenly, somehow able to speak despite looking every bit as stunned as I was. “Why would the Drage Family want me to marry Gudmund?  We haven’t even seen each other since the ball at the E...

Patreon Changes for 2020

Hey everyone!

We're almost two days away from January 1st, 2020, and I've been really struggling with some of the changes I'm thinking about making for my Patreon.

I realized around November that I have been overextending myself. I wanted to give patrons a lot of rewards they couldn't get anywhere else, but I didn't understand how difficult some of those rewards would be to deliver.

On November, I was unable to send signed paperback copies to Alien and Kitsune Patrons, which...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 30

I could not contain my surprise as I stared at this woman. Many years ago when Kari and I had first traveled through the Endless Desert, I had been kidnapped by Queen Medusa. Since that moment, she, Kari, and I had fought in numerous battles against each other. At the time, Queen Medusa was stronger than Kari and me, having already reached the Third State of Spiritualism, but we were able to counter her strength by working together.

How did the Malik Family manage to cap...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 29

There was no one to greet me when I entered the Malik Family’s palace. The vast and empty entrance hall was unnecessarily large, though not the same over sized proportions as a Dweorg building. Befitting a rich family, there were a lot of decorations, mostly plants. It was a sign of their wealth. Plants were scarce in the Endless Desert, so being able to have plants meant they had an abundance of water, which cost a fortune to gain.

I walked through the hall, activating S...

WIEDERGEBURT Volume 2 News

Mykel Harford is still working on the artwork for WIEDERBUGERT 2, which will be coming out in Janurary 2020. In the meantime, I've been thinking about going full light novel on this and adding in character profiles near the beginning of each volume. I'm only planning to do the main characters right now.

This is what I've got so far.

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 28

The palace where Ammon resided was quite extraordinary. It was a massive complex made of large stone blocks, featuring numerous gigantic columns that were at least four times thicker than myself, and was decorated with many intricate drawings. Something I noticed about the drawings was they all featured depictions of the man who had killed my wife and daughter.

My blood boiled.

I didn’t remember these palaces being so big when Kari and I were living here be...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 27

Since I didn’t want anyone stumbling upon me while I interrogated this man, I found a secluded alley far from the main hustle and bustle of the city. Here, the night was quiet. Not a sound could be heard, save for my own breathing and those of the still unconscious would-be assassin.

The assassin was currently tied up. He was leaning against the wall, his head lolling against his chest. Of course, I made sure the bindings were a little loose so I could easily grab a body ...

Lin and Fay both went ridged at Kari’s words. They immediately began looking around as though trying to spot the peeper themselves, but Kari quickly splashed them with water.

“Don’t do anything that would give you away,” Kari said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. “We want to catch this pervert in the act. If he knows we’re onto him, then he’ll just disappear again.”

Her words were enough to get Fay and Lin to settle down, though they still appeared incredi...

Muqadas was the largest city within the Endless Desert. It wasn’t the capital as the Endless Desert had no capital, but many people considered it as such because of how big it was. Anything that could be found within this vast plain of sand dunes was likely to be found there.

I arrived at the edge of Maqudas about four months after entering the Endless Desert. Walking into the city, I glanced at the buildings made from limestone. They were all very plain, with no decorati...

2019 December Art WIP

Because she has not gotten nearly enough love, I have decided on a Christmas themed art of Gabrielle Angelise. Since she's like an angelic space elf loosely inpired by Christianity, I thought art of her would be fitting.

“I wonder what this Lady Sassa is like,” Fay pondered out loud as the young maidservant led us up to what I assumed was the top floor. There were no windows. However, we had ascended several flights of stairs already.

“Lady Sassa is the proprietress and second wife of Lord Alexander Eieran,” the young maidservant answered Fay. “She is a wonderful woman who is kind but stern. Many of us maidservants were orphans who she took in, gave a home to, and let us work in exchange for f...
