Here's the cover for the first book. Providing it for all Patrons to see before I upload it on RR. For anyone wondering about the last name, Aluran, it's from my wife's Pen Name. If this is ever officially published, I'll probably be doing it under my real name.

2022-07-22 20:13:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe days at the Academy flew by. The days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months. Reivyn split his focus between spending a week or two concentrating on his classes and the curriculum and going out and about with his friends to explore the Dungeons and Adventurer Guild quests.
Reivyn's proficiency in weaves continued to grow, and adding the knots to his repertoire didn't hinder his expansion in learning new weaves and gaining proficiency.

2022-07-22 00:40:20 +0000 UTC View PostLance was accompanied by five other members from the Knight Academy and three Casters from the Magic Academy. The six students of the Knight Academy had arrogant looks on their faces as they spread out in front of Reivyn and his friends, but the three Magic Academy students shared a nervous look before one of them stepped forward and whispered something to Lance.
Lance tilted his head to listen to the words before his gaze landed on Reivyn. He was familiar with Tom, Vane, and...
2022-07-20 19:26:41 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn looked at the different gateways embedded in the rock. There were three separate entrances to the Dungeon, and each one was marked clearly by the predecessors who had initially discovered and explore the Dungeon.
"So each doorway leads to a room containing basically a boss monster?" Reivyn clarified once more. "And you can challenge each room once a month?"
Reivyn stood with his roommates, and Teilon and Kimberly stood next to Reivyn as well, looking a...
2022-07-19 22:25:15 +0000 UTC View Post"So, what is it that the mana weaves do?" Master Feld asked the second year class. He walked back and forth in front of the class on the little raised dais.
Several hands shot up from the more enthusiastic students, shortly followed by the more restrained hand raising of the other students. Not everyone raised their hand, but almost everyone at least paid attention. Master Feld indicated for one of the female students to answer his question.
"They're the writ...

Reivyn had been right when he suspected Teilon and Kimberly would be in the Elite Class. They weren't quite at the very top like he was. They're about the same as my new roommates, Reivyn speculated. They're just within the top 10 of their class ...
2022-07-15 20:03:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe sun began to set as Reivyn sat at near the entrance to the Dungeon. He had only killed a few more monsters that spawned near him on his way out after witnessing the prince with Ren and his entourage. He was lost in thought and didn't even activate his Mana Sight with Veridical Affinity in order to find monsters more efficiently.
It's a good thing the recording devices, like all of the other magical devices mass produced for the students, are geared towards studen...
2022-07-14 21:48:57 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn and his three friends dismounted from the horses they had ridden to the Cobbled Ruins Dungeon. There was a small outpost just outside of the outskirts of the Dungeon that reminded Reivyn of the Dungeon Town. This Dungeon was considerably less valuable, though, so it wasn't a booming startup or anything like that. Most of the people present were on the younger side, gaining their first bit of experience.
The residents were mainly employed by the Crown or the two Academi...
2022-07-13 19:54:41 +0000 UTC View Post"I don't know how you talked me into this," Tom lamented.
"It's because I'm so Charismatic," Reivyn shrugged.
"Yeah, yeah," Tom replied. "That doesn't change the fact that this is absolutely crazy."
"Ready?" A teacher shouted. Reivyn and Tom both nodded, and the Teacher, after a moment to verify, raised his arm and then brought it down sharply. "Begin!"
Unassisted Bolt Spells flew all over the dueling stage as the entire 30 s...
2022-07-12 20:00:15 +0000 UTC View Post"It's the end of the first month, and the student rankings will be updated over the weekend," Master Feld said to the class. "You second years already know the drill, so begin infusing your Affinities like usual. Reivyn, come up here for a moment and I'll explain it to you." Reivyn got up from his seat and joined the teacher at the front of the class.
"Here in the weaving class, we handle recording the progress of your Affinity Levels. The Mana Theory class will handle the pr...
2022-07-11 20:15:42 +0000 UTC View Post"Pull a string of mana out, and make it about a foot long," Master Feld said. "You can do it any length you want, but for the purpose of the exercise, we're only going to do a foot."
It was the second week of classes, and Master Feld was introducing the concept of compressing mana to the students of the second year class. Reivyn had attended the class for the remaining two times the first week, and Master Feld had simply demonstrated each of the weaves for the various Element...
2022-07-08 21:22:01 +0000 UTC View Post"Those in power have a responsibility to those they have power over," the teacher, Master Salrah, said. "People with personal power get it through their own work and effort, but those with political power get it from the ones who put them there.
"If one wants to remain in power, politically, it is necessary to take care of the needs of the populace. The royal family wasn't created from scratch as the royal family. They lead their people in a benevolent manner, and they helped...
2022-07-07 19:48:02 +0000 UTC View Post"Step forward and demonstrate the weaves that you've learned so far," the teacher, Master Feld, said. "You're all in the Elite Class, so I imagine that all of you have been able to master the weaves to the basic Spells your Class provides at the very least. Most of you have most likely gained some proficiency in other elements as well. I need to have an understanding of your standards so as to appropriately guide the class moving forward."
Master Feld was a middle aged man dr...
2022-07-07 01:57:40 +0000 UTC View Post"Man, there's nothing so crazy like any of that happening here in The Capital," Tom shook his head. "The occasional news of someone outmaneuvering someone else for benefits is about as exciting as it gets around here. We have to come up with Lists and speculations in order to keep ourselves entertained."
Reivyn had just finished telling the stories of his experiences in Magron and the Dungeon Town. He quirked an eyebrow at the statement from Tom.
"You guys li...
2022-07-05 23:00:27 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn stepped forward to the table. There were sheaves of forms stacked neatly in several different piles, waiting to be used, and the mostly clear crystal ball that was the inspection magic tool sitting in the center. There was a young man seated behind the table. He was too old to be a student, so Reivyn assumed he was an administrative worker.
He might be a teacher, or teacher's assistant of some type, but he seems a bit young for that. Also, it wouldn't make as much ...
2022-07-04 17:25:29 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn walked along the main thoroughfare with his family. Teilon and Kimberly had joined them as well, as the Magic and Knight Academies were next to each other in the central region of the city. He was dressed in one of his new robes, white with blue trim, and the admissions token hung from the belt at his waist. Like Teilon and Kimberly with the Knight Academy, Reivyn had already gone to the administrative building of the Magic Academy to submit his two letters of recommendation and receiv...
2022-07-03 21:41:33 +0000 UTC View Post"So what exactly was it that I did back there?" Reivyn whispered to Melissa. The other girls were still gushing over the appearance of the visiting prince, so Reivyn took the opportunity to question Melissa about the apparent faux pas he had committed.
"I take it you have some etiquette training?" Melissa raised an eyebrow at the question. Reivyn simply nodded his head. "Well, I don't know from which Region you received tutoring for, but here, when greeting a noble lady, you'...
2022-07-02 03:06:13 +0000 UTC View Post"You don't have to worry about anyone trying to snatch you up against your will," Refix said. "Trust me, there's nobody around with a big enough fist to throw their weight around our family. That being said, it's good practice to always keep your cards close to your chest, and there's no reason to take the risk of accidentally making an enemy out of any of the churches."
"Yeah, one of the Sword-Priests, a decent guy by the name Josn, tried to recruit me, actually," R...

2022-06-29 23:38:59 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn lowered his mana sword as he gulped for air. He wiped the sweat off of his brow as he reached for his water skin to take a drink.
It's not nearly as hot as it was at the Dungeon Town, but I'm sweating more under my parents' tutelage than I ever did sparring over there. And I'm not even sparring.
Reivyn drank almost the entirety of the flask, and his mother simply did something with her mana to fill it back up again with pure, icy wate...
2022-06-29 03:45:28 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn sat in Meditation as he circulated the different Affinities he had unlocked to finally begin improving them again. It had taken him a long time to enter the state of Meditation, much longer than normal. He had a lot on his mind after his talk with his mother and the strange dinner they had had afterward with his friends.
The information that his mother had given him about the circumstances behind them settling in a Tier 1 Region made him realize there was a lot more go...
2022-06-27 23:59:28 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn stepped through the door to the modest house. Modest relative to all of the wealthier homes I saw on the way here. It's still a nicer place than the previous two homes my parents had. The first thing he saw when he entered the building, aside from the familiar furnishings, was his mother at her loom and his two sisters doing... something on the ground in the center of the room.
His three family members looked up in surprise at the sound of the door opening, an...

She did a once over of her person, and seeing that she was fresh and presentable, she made her way back to where her personal wagon was located.
She smiled as she saw her two daughters showing their newest creations off to the temporary nanny they had entrusted the two girls to. The young lady had a strained smile on her face as Kailey and Riley...
2022-06-23 00:53:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe dancers eventually left the dance floor after the musicians played several more compositions. Reivyn heaved a sigh of relief once they stopped playing, and Teilon finally came to the table with Kimberly, a smirk on his face. Their faces were flushed from the exertion of moving, and Teilon was in high spirits. Kimberly seemed to be quite pleased, herself.
Reivyn tuned out the subtle digs and displays of one upmanship from the two girls. Other than touching me when Meli...
2022-06-22 00:34:18 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn adjusted his suit for what seemed like the millionth time. He and Teilon had begun to get dressed for the victory feast when Erik had come back holding two suits tailored to Reivyn and Teilon. Erik had tossed the suits onto their beds, nodded toward them, and then left without saying a word. Reivyn and Teilon shared a look before Reivyn walked out of the room and found Melissa waiting in the hallway.
"What's with the suits?" Reivyn asked.
"I had the Co...

As soon as he had entered the waters, despite the heat, his body had trembled uncontrollably for a while.
Despite all of the dangerous situations I've found myself in before, this was the first time I truly felt like there was no hope of survival. If th...
