WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 9

“Close your eyes!” I ordered Kari immediately upon spotting the scaled creature that coiled itself around the Sekbeist Elite.

Kari did as I ordered. As she shut her eyes, I stomped my foot against the ground and created a massive wall of water between the Basilisk and us, and then I raised my right hand and unleashed a powerful lance of lightning. It struck the wall to my left, blasting a hole clean through it.

The Basilisk sprang forward like a spring and crashed head first i...

American Kitsune 11 - Scene 6

I think what makes storytelling great is when characters develop and grow together. Scene 6 in A Fox's Mission is a good example. Christine and Iris were not exactly what I'd call friends for a long time, but by being in each other's presence and learning to accept each other's faults, they bonded. Now you can see how Iris comforts Christine while she's feeling depressed.

WIEDERGEBURT Volume 1 Mockup Cover

This is the mockup for the paperback cover of WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior volume 1. As you can see, I added a lovely "Parental Advisory" label and gave it the R18 rating in the back... you know, to let people know this isn't for kids.

I took some inspiration from the Goblin Slayer paperbacks, which have a similar theme for the back cover.

What do you all think?


P.S. I am hoping to release this in December.

Scene 5

I've had lots of lewd content in American Kitsune lately, but I also wanted to show moments outside of the lewdness.  Here is a bonding moment between Christine and Lilian.

Yeah. I've got some more sketches here. This is the fourth scene. I decided we needed more Christine since she disappeared several volumes ago.

WIEDERGEBUTE Act III: Chapter 8

After making my way past Demon Beast Gate, which had been repaired after the Demon Beast attack and now sported two massive towers with giant ballista sitting at the tops, I used the Flash Step to quickly pass through the mountain pass that separated Nevaria from the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Kari was clinging to me as I traveled. Her arms were around my neck, her face buried in my shoulder to protect her from the wind as her hair billowed out behind us. She was still holding onto her...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 7

Immediately after Dante informed us that his sons had returned from in the Demon Beast Mountain Range with life-threatening injuries, our group was driven by cart to the Nevarian Spiritualist headquarters located in the northern district of the city. There, we found Earland and Mikkel lying on a pair of hospital beds inside of the infirmary.

The two brothers were not in good shape. Their clothing had been removed so a pair of healers could fix them up, but the cuts, gashes, and contusio...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 6

The one on the right called himself Bakh. The one on the left called himself Ergoth. They were a lot more well-versed in combat than many of the other Sekbeists I had fought, which made me wonder if perhaps they were elite members of their race.

I leapt back alongside Erica and Karen as Ergoth swung his halberd at us, avoiding the blow and watching helplessly as it disintegrated the floor, leaving behind a perfectly smooth trench. My eyes narrowed. It seemed that not only w...

It's a new month, so I've got a few updates to talk about here on Patreon.

First things first, WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior Act II is finished and available for human-tier patrons. It's pretty fortunate timing. I only just made the last chapter available a few days ago.

While Act II dealt with several major plot threads that I introduced early on, I still have many other threads that I plan to expand on. Eryk and his future wives will still have an exciting roa...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 5

A pained cry followed by the sound of a body collapsing echoed behind me. I whipped my head around and became shocked to see one of the Battling Valkyrie members collapsed on the ground, an Elite standing behind her.

Samantha!!” Erica screamed.

As Erica called out the woman’s name, the Elite tried to merge into the shadows at the feet of the person he had stabbed, but I didn’t let him. With a quick application of the Flash Step, I was right next to h...

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 4

Garret led me into a large room that seemed even bigger than it actually was because of how little decorations were present. The mostly open space featured a small table with chairs off to one side, and on the other side was a couch. Four columns reached to the ceiling. I didn’t know if they were meant as support or decoration. At the very back of this office was a desk, where Empress Hilda was sitting.

“Your Majesty Hilda,” Garret started with a bow. “I’ve brought Master Eryk...

WEIDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 3

The closer we came to the palace, the more I realized that, yes, this really was a palace—a majestic structure unlike anything I’d ever seen in my entire life. It did not look like something that could have ever been crafted from human hands. This structure, which appeared to have been carved from a single block of some unknown material, contained an aesthetic that was unknown to me. Considering how much I had traveled, this unusual design shocked me.

Kari would have lo...

After taking a shower and getting dressed, Lin and I went to the family dining room, which was located on the first floor. We couldn’t have looked more different if we tried. While I was wearing what had to be the widest smile in Nevaria, Lin was pouting. If I was being honest, her pout made me want to kiss her.

“This princess cannot believe you laughed at her,” Lin muttered. “That was rude.”

I smiled at her. “Sorry. I couldn’t help him.”

WIEDERGEBURT Act III: Chapter 1

The beast that Erica had procured for us was called a Qilin, a hooved chimerical creature. It possessed slightly dragon-like features, most notably its head, thick eyelashes, the mane which always flowed upward, and the beard. The features were of the orient variety. Its body was covered in scales and shaped like a deer with cloven hooves and antlers jutting from its head. His Qilin’s scales happened to be a bright golden color, but the ones he was flying alongside were many colors. View Post

WIEDERGEBURT Act II: Chapter 50

Despite the exhaustion spreading through her bones, Hilda sat on her throne in the Imperial Royal Palace’s receiving hall. Her three husbands were with her. They would normally stand at attention below the elevated platform upon which her throne sat, but for this day, they were standing right behind her. All of them were decked in their battle armor still. Dings and scratches covered their armor, and their bodies were filthy, with dirt and blood smeared all over them. However, it wasn’t l...

“HYAAA!”

Geirolf slammed his gauntlets into the face of a Dire Wolf. His bones jarred from the force of his punch, but he yelled in defiance and unleashed a powerful explosion of wind that tore the creature’s face off and sent it flying away. It struck the ground, rolled, and came to a stop.

Breathing heavily, Geirolf wiped the sweat from his face and tried to regain control over his heartbeat. He couldn’t tell how long he’d been fighting for. However, his body felt slug...

WIEDERGEBURT Act II: Chapter 48

I kept Spiritual Perception activated as we moved slowly through the sewers, keeping a careful eye out for any potential ambushes. It seemed someone, Skygge I assumed, had those shadows waiting at various ambush points in case someone realized what they were doing and came to stop them. We needed to be more cautious than normal because of that.

The deeper down we went into the sewers, the more disgusting the sewers became. Where before the walls were just covered in some grime, now mold...

Empress Hilda, her three husbands, and an army of what appeared to be several thousand strong stood behind the four of us.

The empress was decked in dazzling silver armor. Gleaming steel shone brightly in the sunlight, inlaid with golden designs that swirled around it. The carapace-shaped chestplate protected most of her chest and upper back. Meanwhile, pauldrons made of overlapping steel, elbow armor, and gauntlets protected her shoulders and arms. Two leaf-shaped metal plates sat on e...
