Hi guys,

Hi guys,
As promised, here is the full final episode of the Vainqueur the Dragon Webtoon; freely available for patrons. You can find my thoughts about the whole adventure at the end.
The Webtoon pages pages are attached as JPG (and embedded in the gallery above) because Patreon, for some reason, won't let me update them normally in the post itself like before... hope you can read them normally.
In any case, thanks for supporting this series until its completion; I hope...

Basil’s hands tightened on his halberd’s shaft. He had expected some challenge from the Christmas event, but nothing like this. The boss was the same level as Apollyon; the creature wh...

By the time Basil finished his tale, his coffee cup had gone cold. Vasi held her hot chocolate in her hand, a worried frown all over her beautiful face. As for Kalki, he had stopped sipping his tea halfway through the conversation and listened patiently since.
“That’s worrying,” he said, finally breaking the silence.
“That’s ...

Basil felt gloomy all day long.
He couldn’t quite explain it himself. Nightfall and the Christmas event were still hours away. Minions had reinforced the dungeon with traps and anyone getting in was in for a rude surprise. All in all, his team had found a sanctuary for the night.
Yet Basil felt like he was being watched...
2022-11-22 09:12:14 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys, quick update, I'm still waiting for the new Bestiary entry arts, but I've received Tapas' authorization to publish Vainqueur's last webtoon episode on Patreon when it's finished (the whole thing, not just the preview); it'll be up roughly at the same as it's unveiled on Tapas, so around in a week's time.
Meanwhile, much like the Halloween event, here's a flash poll to determine the rewards for the Christmas Event. Each member of the Bohens has a wish; but Santa w...

After reducing the upper part of the castle to rubble, Bugsy used his new burrowing ability to dig a path into the crypts below.
As expected, the Neurotower was probably located at the dungeon’s bottom; the party couldn’t find the server anywhere above ground. Leaving a third of his team above ground to chase off stragglers, Basil ventured ...

They reached the frontier of Romania by nightfall.
The trip had been relatively calm: they tried to stop at an inn that turned out to be a giant mimic, engaged in a gunfight with a group of Mad Max punk raiders, and briefly crossed paths with a friendly undead gunslinger. By post-apocalyptic standards, it was a day like any other. 2022-11-17 09:12:00 +0000 UTC View Post

In the dark depths of a Hungarian forest, a hundred people waited for death.
Ilona was among them. A twelve year old, she had been dragged out of her bed by raven-headed monsters in the night, beaten into submission, and then dragged into the woods. Her daddy and mommy occupied an iron cage halfway across a snow-covered clearing...

Hi guys,
I'm back from my break (which I mostly spent working and dealing with other issues, but that's life) and will resume Apocalypse Tamer updates starting with tomorrow. As warned, I will also be taking down the first volume's chapters today; second volume is planned to be released on KU around January/February, so you have a few months ahead of you to download the free ebook.
In the meantime, here's a preview of Vainqueur's next webtoon episode, <...
2022-11-14 17:01:47 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys,
As promised, here's the second volume's free PDF of Apocalypse Tamer, covering chapter 39 to 82 (the Post-House Arc, Paris Arc, and Apollyon arcs).
Thanks for having supported this book until its completion. I wish I had had more time to refine it further but I'm glad it turned out okay.
For a general update, I didn't advance as much as I wanted during the break due to my back problems returning worse than ever (going to physio next week for therapy). Un...

Hi guys,
Some content to entertain you until the end of my break! Here's one of the Bestiary entries I intended to publish a few weeks ago, until the art was delayed: the emperor of Paris Pluto/Benjamin Leroy, with art done by Dinovoila (I think he nailed the eyes; zoom on them if you want to see the madness in them)!
You can also find the preview for Vainqueur's episode 48 (two more to go before the end) right afterwards!

As put in the chapters, I've now completed the second volume of Apocalypse Tamer; I'll thus take a short week break to outline the third; this is especially critical since it should be the final entry in the saga and the longest of them. As such, chapter updates will resume on November 15th.
I'll also be working on compiling and editing Volume II so you may download the manuscript next week, and try to complete the commissioned Underland novel...

They spent the week helping the army secure Paris.
It was a long, tedious process. Apollyon’s death had spelled the Apocalypse Force’s defeat on this front, but not all of his thralls were willing to accept it. For every bug that retreated back into the rift, two more attempted to break through the security perimeter. ...

The city crumbled behind them.
Basil and Plato jumped from one Parisian building’s roof to the next in an epic show of parkour. Century-old houses collapsed in their wake. Walls of stones were crushed under a steel titan’s feet and rusted cars flattened on the pavement.
“He’s gaining ground on us!” Plato warned as the frantic race went on. Indeed, the rumbling noise of ...

Basil welcomed Maxwell with fire and brimstone.
“Elemental Orb: Fire!” He snarled as he snapped his fingers, unleashing a sphere of shining flames at Dismaker Labs’ CEO. The projectile surged across the room in a flash, harmlessly phased through Maxwell, and hit a distant wall in a violent burst.

Basil glanced at Vasi as they walked down the stairs to the UNESCO building. He and his girlfriend closed the party’s march, while the rest of the team kept an eye on their prisoner.

The light of Plato’s sword repelled Leroy.

He woke up in his old bed.
A man never forgot his bed. The smell of the bedsheets, the holes left in the mattress, the crumbs of chips forgotten after a wild night of gaming… each were telltale signs of the way a human being marked his territory. So although Basil Bohen hadn’t slept in it, he immediately recognized this...
