Alexander the Dragon Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Start from the campfire

The year was 1313 in the Age of Good and Evil, which was thirty years ago.

My father, Jaden Soulrun, died in a ‘truck’ accident in his old world and arrived in Uroboros with a new body and the System. Instead of being welcomed by helpful priests and given a structured introduction to the Realm of Myth and Magic, he landed in the middle of a pitched battle between an army of corrupted cultists and the desperate and roughed-up militia of the...

Alexander the Dragon - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - It's time for an adventure

I was the nightmare of men, both good and evil. I was the apex of monsters, the king of mountains, the blood of tyrants, the relentless thunder heard wide across the myriad empires and wilds of Uroboros, the Realm of Myth and Magic.

I am The Dragon.

These were the lies I told myself, which were especially potent and acidic at the age of thirteen, when I was finally considered an adult. These lies were the sal...

New Story: Alexander the Dragon

Honestly, my work load is pretty heavy. I got contracts to fulfill and a full-time author career to keep afloat past my first year. I wouldn't be in such a tight position if I wasn't trying to pay off some bad debt and breathe easier (I'm almost there, just got to tough it out another month or two).

But this story struck me as needed and very worth trying. It struck me like a falling star. I'll probably post this twice to three times a week. At most.

I don't have an accur...

I ended up taking a break after all. I wasn't meaning to...

Then Baldur Gate 3 happened. Ironically, I've stopped gaming for the most part. I haven't played seriously since Elden Ring came out. Most games don't do much for me.

But Baldur Gate 3 has been a gripping experience. It's been good for my creative thought process and a solid introduction to Dungeons and Dragons. I see why so many nerds love that TTRPG,

I'll keep writing once I'm satisfied and figure things out post-...

Update!

Hey everyone. With my first series complete, I'm currently doing my best to transition from Gravity and Divinity System to Rogue Ascension.

I'm a little under the weather. Been sick since they weekend. And I've always found it hard to reconfigure my brain from one story to another.

The next chapter for Rogue Ascension will come out tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll get my groove for it soon enough.

259. You Are A True Hero

A few weeks had gone by in relative peace. Jay was sitting on his roof, taking in the sunrise.

Getting away from his wives had taken some magic on his part. Having defeated Gutok and the admins turned his wives into lovey dovey clingers, especially Brit. She would subtly work in tandem with YoAnna to block out Jay’s escape attempts until they were ready to get out of bed.

It was no big deal for Jay. Every morning became a fun exercise of how to slip away for some fresh air.

Hey everyone! I'm back from break.

The process of writing consistently and building a career out of writing isn't an easy one. It's filled with pitfalls and a plethora of reasons for writer's to fail. I didn't even plan for the break to happen, really, but I felt it was something necessary.

I was running a little ragged, and I needed some time to sort myself out on how I wanted to proceed forward. So the break happened, and I soon realized I didn't know what to do with myself if I'm not writing. And I still don't.

Taking a Break

Hey everyone. I hit a point where I'm feeling a bit ragged. I'm going to take a break for about a month. In the mean time, I'm going to put Patreon on pause in the next couple of days.

I'm planning on releasing Chapters 1 thru 38 on Kindle Unlimited by the end of June. To comply with Amazon's rules, those chapters will be deleted mid June.

Thanks for all the support, and I'll probably have more chapters coming out once I'm back from my break.

You should read Rogue Ascension

Here, I'll sweeten it for you. It's connected to Gravity And Divinity System.

And someone you might know just showed up on Chapter 50 of Rogue Ascension.

There.

Enjoy.

Rogue Ascension 39. Cross Country Road Trip

“Huh, I feel like I’ve gone full circle,” Joey said. “I started my new life in Multiverse Z on a raft in the middle of water, using the help of a kraken to take me where I need to go. Now I’m on a wooden platform on land, and my big crab semblance is taking us where we need to go.”

Joey was sitting with The Renegades on a platform Mollysea had made with logs and rope. There was a square cut at the front for ABC’s eyestalks. The hull crusher bruiser was gripping the platfor...

Rogue Ascension 38. The Hunt for Joey Eclipse

Joey realized quickly he had lines he wouldn’t cross. He avoided areas with heavy commoner traffic. They were running amok to get to safety right now, but they were not that fast.

Mixing with them would make his escape from the city easier. But that felt wrong to the rogue – most commoners were innocent people trying to live their new existence in Multiverse Z. He didn’t want them involved with his crazy stunts.

Strangely, Joey felt very relieved by this even with all the tr...

Small update

I'm changing the title Rogue of the Multiverse to Rogue Ascension to reflect the major themes better. And ascending from realm to realm is a fun plot point of the story.

Mid April Update on GADS and Rogue

Whew! It took a while but there it is. Rogue will be 20 chapters ahead of public release. It might grow in the future depending on how things go.

For now, the next GADS chapter will come out Friday. I'm predicting releases for GADS happening Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Rogue will release everyday. Thanks for your support and your patience! Enjoy the reading!

Rogue Ascension 2. New Realm and Spell Picks

It was like stepping into a fantasy. The night sky was covered in many moons. Behind the moons was a watercolor backdrop of a starry cosmos. Yellows, pinks, and purples swirled together up there. The artist Van Gogh came to mind.

Joey couldn’t help but stare with his mouth hanging open.

Awestruck.

Rogue Ascension 1. Welcome to Multiverse Z

[Adventurer or Commoner?]

Joey was alone in a stone room. The walls were covered in strange runic letters that glowed multiple colors across the spectrum. He couldn’t stare at them for long or his head would hurt.

The other things of note were the dark doorways, one to his left and right. And the blue system message floating in front of his face.

20 - Go all in and Gamble

“Am I really that honorable? Some would say I’m spirited and delusional.” Lord Oxford chuckled. “Moonstrider, oh, Moonstrider. The epics speak of your clan well. Moon Giants are already special. Moonstriders are the elite among them.”

Lillea snorted contemptuously. “Maybe you’ve had too much to drink, my lord.”

The old human carried on. “When I learned of your clan, I wanted to meet one. And when I did, he exceeded expectations. ...

19 - Commoner Among Elites

The elites used noble social events to jockey for favors, form fruitful bonds, and negotiate deals. Lillea had shown herself at these events for Lord Oxford more than anyone else.

The decorations might change. The magic lights, sparkling fire shows, self-playing instruments, and endless drinks might shift around. But in the end, Lillea knew what she was to most of these pale humans from the empire.

An exotic creature to ogle at. A treasure trove ...

The guild leader left after Fiona’s declaration. The young woman slouched into her seat, drained.

Lillea studied her. “How is it? The power? The battle?”

“Tiring,” Fiona said. “I think I’m very unlike you, my lady. I think I want to fight for peace. And to see an end to harsh battles so others can be at peace.”

The actual second course arrived with drinks. Lillea had a giant glass filled with wine for her. She took a si...

17 - Always Be Prepared

The air was tense around the Adventurer Square. There were no vendors to be found even though some would still operate at these times.

The ambush had been clearly put together with thought in mind and intimidation to spare. The ambushers must’ve waited until they received the word of Lillea and Fiona’s approach to spring this.

Fiona shivered in fear, moving closer to Lillea’s leg instead of distancing herself. Most people would run away from a...

With Lillea walking casually to Cold Tooth, the hostages wouldn’t be able to keep up. The guards and adventurers stayed with them and fell behind.

Fiona did her best, but she started to lose energy after a few hours of running. Lillea scooped the human up with her right hand and let her rest there.

Solo took over the left hand. “Hey! I’m Solo. I’m the other half of Lillea Solo Moonstrider. Acknowledge me, precious apprentice!”

With the sponsorship business tabled for another day, Lillea’s attention shifted toward the goblin matriarch waiting off to the side. She’d been there for a while. Fiona noticed her for the first time.

“Oh, should I, um, leave you two?” Fiona asked.

“You may stay,” the matriarch said with a disinterested voice. She looked boredly from Fiona to Lillea. Strands of glossy white hair fell into her eyes. She slowly tucked the stands behind her ...

14 - Adventuring Reality

Lillea waited for Lord Oxford to calm down. The mana surge left her tingly all over and alarmed her perception. When the roiling mana in the air remained, Lillea slowly channeled mana to prepare for a fight.

“Now I must break my attention away from a security threat on a human level and focus on an apocalyptic threat on a demonic level.” Lord Oxford looked deeply into Lillea’s eyes. Unlike Captain Airmance, the old man could stare into the abyss an...

Captain Airmance shook with rage after Lillea lay into him with cutting words. Air circled around him faster and faster. Lillea let him and his underlings draw closer. One wave of the bandit lord’s hand started the next round of violence.

Lillea exploded into action… and retreated. A large air blade sliced through half of the tree trunk she’d used as cover. Another air blade sliced through the snow flurries and toward her back. Lillea rolled forward...

A burnt-up human face sneered down at Sleek. The goblin smiled back with knives covered in blood and one more breath in his lungs.

Death seemed imminent, but tonight had surprises for both goblins and humans. Like having actual backup.

A black bolt slammed into the fire human’s chest and knocked him back. The flames meant for Sleek flickered out. It only happened for a moment.

Sleek’s knives stabbed the fire human over sixty times bef...

Lillea wondered if she would go back for the shadow skills she passed over and purchase them in the future. Maybe Shade Wolves might turn out handy later on.

Chances were no.

Once she settled on her decisions, her build would be mostly complete. There was one last skill she wanted to purchase. But that skill required the dwarves to finish the special commission for her.

Then the foundations would be set. She could already feel the immen...

9 - Demonic Skill Choices

Lillea had evolved. She was superior to her former self. Her fleshy parts remained the same. But the metal arm took on a new look.

Light gray lines flowed down the contours of a flexible black arm. The limb had no gaps, no ball joints, no spaces in its metallic form and acted like a real arm. But with little crooked horns embedded into the shoulder and two diamond shapes glinting underneath.

“Interesting.” Solo’s voice echoed out like a soft...
