(AKJ) Chapter 64 - A son's worth

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

The rest of the road trip was relatively uneventful, filled only with some friendly, sometimes flirty banter between the two lovers and punctuated by peaceful silence. A few hours later, Demian finally spotted the nearby capital city. Throwing a brief glance toward Seraphine, he declared. “We’re almost there, Love. I can see Molvograd from here.”

His words pulled the redh...

Note #6 (Probably?)

Hello, my dear patrons! A bit of an update, something that I haven't one much this last month.

First, about the abysmal release rate on patreon in May: I was both physically and mentally busy IRL, so I wasn't able to focus on writing. June should be a lot more free for me, which means more chapters coming up.

Second, change in patreon pricing. I've lowered the price for the Advanced Chapters Only subscription to 7 Euros (Around $7.6 if I'm not wrong). I'll probably add a few more...

(AKJ) Chapter 63 - Leaving their home for the capital

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

With Seraphine in tow, Demian was quick to reach his bedroom and start packing his belongings. A few sets of clothes, some basic toiletries, and a few random stuff ended up in a big sports bag prepared for the occasion. Looking at his clean-shaven face in the mirror, he muttered, undecided. “Should I grow a beard again? I do look good with it. Gives me a bit of a rough vibe.”

Note #5 (I think)

Hello, dear patrons! I just wanted to let you guys two things.

First, I changed the lyrics of the song in chapter 2 of A Knight's Journey. I recently learned that writing existing song lyrics could land you in trouble with Labels and stuff. So I created my own song. It's heavily inspired, but it's sufficiently different in my opinion.

Second, Chapter 6 has been re-edited completely. I feel like it'll take me forever to re-edit the whole book... Oh well, I'll see what I'll do when ...

(AKJ)Chapter 62 - We should contact your father

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

A few hours later, the sun started rising on the horizon, illuminating both the previously dim sky and sea, with the reflection on the gentle waves giving a golden hue to the dark blue water. The scene was so beautiful that the two cousins fell silent, mesmerized by the scenery while enjoying the peaceful moment together.

Some time passed again before the two heard someone’s ...

(AKJ)Chapter 61 - Reaching the Second Level unexpectedly

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

The tranquil scene reminded Demian of some old memories from his past lives. Old days when his Mom, little brother, little sister, and himself went picnicking by the sea, sometimes staying until late evening to admire the night sky and how magnificent the view could be without being distracted by random passersby. As those memories surfaced in his mind, a feeling of melancholy grew along, p...

(AKJ)Chapter 60 - We're just humans, after all

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

As his ragged breath calmed down and his consciousness returned in full from the land of pleasure it was previously lost in, Demian’s hand absentmindedly started caressing the naked back of his lover. The latter was lying unconscious on his chest with her body shivering from time to time, her breathing out of sync and her body covered in sweat. Those were not long-lasting consequences, th...

(AKJ)Chapter 59 - An insatiable woman[R18]

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

At that point, the two had unknowingly lost every piece of clothing previously covering their body, revealing their attractive bodies and increasing their arousal even further. While his gaze roamed all over his red-haired lover’s naked body, a comment subconsciously escaped his lips. “So beautiful...” From her delicate face to her shapely breasts and buttocks, she was a masterpiece t...

Note #4 (I think)

Hello, my dear readers! This note is a bit hard for me to write, I'm not going to lie.

It will be about My Name is Ben Parker. There will be some drastic changes.

There won't be anymore release schedule about that fanfiction. I will post when I'll have both time and motivation. So, don't expect weekly free release of it.

Why the change?

-The first reason: I love my characters and I like the story. There's just one problem. It's that it takes so much time and energy to ...

(AKJ)Chapter 58 - An exhausting ride back home

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

After having put on the set of clean clothes he prepared before the operation, Demian could not help but rub his eyes in a vain attempt to remove his growing exhaustion. He then went to bring the pile of bloody clothes to the building before throwing them into the furnace, destroying most of the evidence that could formally incriminate their family. ‘We’ve probably missed a few things, ...

(MNIBP)Chapter 53 - Sacrificing a limb

The Highlands, New Jersey, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

[”It’s not as if we’ve got many options there. We’re only three people and there’s only one entrance.”] She replied before letting out a helpless sigh. None of the two men responded as they were busy examining the group of guards flooding the surroundings in order to find the culprit for the previous disturbance. Of course, that meant that they would quickly reach thei...

(AKJ)Chapter 57 - Visiting the cleaning company a second time

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

After a few moments of smooth driving, Demian grabbed an old-tech disposable phone from his pocket and started dialing one of the only two numbers registered inside. After two seconds of ringing, the worried voice of Sera resounded through the speaker. “Are you two okay? Did you get hurt?” Her obvious concern brought a warm grin to his face before he calmly replied.

“We�...

(AKJ)Chapter 56 - 'Crushing' ease

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

As soon as the two penetrated the building, Demian knew time was ticking, especially since they were now visible to everyone in the living room. However, those people were Bryn’s targets, not his. Instead, his feet brought him instantly through the opened entrance to the kitchen where two men were standing in front of the kitchen counter.

On the latter, were a few opened pizz...

(AKJ)Chapter 55 - The first casualties

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

At their current running speed, the rare pedestrians walking on the street were incapable of noticing their presence, especially with the sparse lampposts lighting the street and their dark clothes. Only some small sounds were audible, coming from their body fending through the air. However, with the car noises blaring all around, the duo was easily able to reach the tall metal gate without...

(MNIBP)Chapter 52 - Unstable Energy Source

The Highlands, New Jersey, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

Once the silver-eyed man received the redhead’s instructions, the latter aligning perfectly with what was in his mind, his whole body tensed, his blood coursing at high speed all over his body as every single muscle he possessed rippled and worked together to transmit as much force as possible from his upper body down to his right leg and finally to the ground. The resulting counterforce...

Cover changes

Hello, dear readers! I just wanted to let you guys know that I modified the covers of both MNIBP, AKJ and Patreon. It's not huge change (Mostly bordering the texts), but I think they all look much better like that.

Anyway, I'm currently re-editing chapter 4, and planning on doing the same to chapter 5 today. I don't think I'll add any new AKJ chapter on Patreon this week, though.

Voila!

See ya guys/girls later!

(MNIBP)Chapter 51 - Commence the first Ten Rings operation

The Highlands, New Jersey, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

The first item he picked up seemed to be similar to a knight helmet with futuristic characteristics. It had a curved blade running along from the top of the head to the nose, with the weapon’s size reducing as it went down. The lethal piece was part of a larger one, the latter being able to slide down in a bid to cover the relatively thin horizontal eye slit. The latter was protected by ...

Note #3 (Or 4?)

Hey, everyone! I've been sick (caught a cold) since Saturday, which is the second time in around a month... I'll be honest with you guys, it does impact my motivation (lack of energy and creativity) to write on those days. I know (because I compared it before) that when I'm sick and/or tired (One usually begets the other), my writing quality lowers by a lot. But at the same time, I feel like doing nothing is wasting my time...

The weather out here is also cold, wet, and very cloudy eve...

Ben Parker's Armor

This is an approximate AI rendition of Ben Parker (AKA Grey Knight)'s armor without his helmet. The plates should be light grey instead of white in the true armor, though.

First Appearance: Chapter 51

Ben Parker's Helmet

This is an approximate AI rendition of Ben's Helmet. The part over the eye slit can be slid down to completely cover his eyes. There is still a glass-like material used to cover the slit and protect the eyes when the upper part is above. The Part above is a blade that can be used defensively against any unarmed attack from the top of his head. It is not detachable, though.

First Appearance: Chapter 51

See: Ben Parker's Armor

Hawkeye's Helmet

This is an AI rendition of Hawkeye (AKA Clint Barton)'s helmet. Its characteristics are: futuristic, Hawk-shaped and covering his whole head.

First Appearance: Chapter 50

Black Widow's Mask

This is an AI rendition of Black Widow's mask. The black 'legs' are used as clasps holding the mask on Natalia's head, going through her shoulder-length hair. There's also a glass-kind-of-material in the eye parts.

First Appearance: Chapter 50

(AKJ)Chapter 54 - Arriving at Petrovich's

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

As the Chi Gathering technique placed in the book ‘Bartender’ Sergei gifted him was pretty generic, the optimization was terrible. In the end, it was a question of logic as every cultivator’s body was different with different characteristics, and creating a one-size-fits-all technique implied having to cut corners. Cultivators thus had a great incentive to find one that suited their r...

(AKJ)Chapter 53 - First spar as cultivators

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

A few minutes later, the four Mikhailovs were on their way to the South of the city, where Petrovich’s house was located. The Southern side of the city was mostly made of different residential areas, the houses and apartments increasing in price and age as the distance from the City Center decreased.

As the head of the city’s hospital, the man was relatively wealthy and th...

(MNIBP)Chapter 50 - The Quinjet

The Highlands, New Jersey, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

Ben and May then went on to train as usual, with the exception that May started learning new spells instead of practicing the Basic Technique. Similar to her husband, the tall brunette possessed an affinity for the Five Elements. Unlike him, however, she chose to learn specialized spells from each Element instead of focusing on the fusion of the Five Elements. From her own mouth: �...

(AKJ)Chapter 52 - Planning the operation

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

As Demian entered his bedroom and was about to open his wardrobe, something suddenly came to him. “Damn it! I don’t have any clothes that fit me, do I?” He mumbled under his breath before letting out a helpless sigh. After a brief pondering, he went to his computer and with his approximate new size, ordered a few sets of medium-quality clothes.

“Shipping? Is the option ...

(AKJ)Chapter 51 - Demian's first step as a cultivator

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

Two days later, in the early morning, Demian found himself standing in the Gym room where he and Bryn had their usual spar together. A few meters away were the three girls standing together with their gazes aimed in his direction. The worry visible on their faces made the young man feel warm and prompted him to claim. “No need to be nervous, girls. Even if my body gets an upgrade like Big...

(MNIBP)Chapter 49 - May's bloodline awakening[R18]

The Highlands, New Jersey, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

[A/N: The R18 part is at the end. It’s not very long, though.]

A few days later, as Ben and May finished one round of lovemaking, May suddenly remarked. “Honey! I’m about to break through!” Before standing up quickly, followed by her husband. The two put on their usual training clothes swiftly and dashed to the training room underground. They only ...

(AKJ)Chapter 50 - Bryn's strength and new power

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

The trance-like state he experienced lasted for an unknown amount of time until he was brutally awakened by his rumbling stomach. ‘God, I’m starving.’ He thought as his gaze was attracted by the three women practicing on the side. Adeliya and Sera were moving along the Basic Technique movement patterns, making some small mistakes here and there. The fact that he could so easily spot t...

(AKJ)Chapter 49 - Bryn's Rank breakthrough

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

As the words left his lips, his gaze was unconsciously attracted to the only person in the room, the woman uttering the grunts he heard while standing in the corridor, and his cousin: Brynhild. The redhead, who was usually stoic in every circumstance was sitting cross-legged on the floor with her face visibly distorted with what he could guess was great agony.

What stunned him ...
