Apocalypse Cultivation 2, Ch 19

When Jake approached from the sky, he was able to tell why the Paladins had called this area, “The schools.”

It looked like this county was one that put all the schools together from Kindergarten to highschool.  Several large buildings and their satellite buildings were all practically within spitting distance from each other.

There were way more people at the school than Jake had assumed.  It looked like most of the people from the surrounding residential area and m...

Apocalypse Cultivation 2, ch 18

“So you are the Paladins, huh? Is that a group name, or are you calling yourself paladins, generally?  Like knights?”  Jake addressed the group of people who’d come to save Beacon.

The man he’d been talking to, Dalton, looked a little embarrassed.  “Uh, sort of like knights.”  Dalton couldn’t be older than his mid 20’s, and he was already getting the thousand yard stare of a seasoned adventurer, but he had obviously not been a real social person befor...

Apocalypse Cultivation 2, ch 17

He knew the new people were coming long before the children saw them.  Eventually, the children also noticed the lights and finally heard the voices yelling their names.

Erica took off like a bat out of hell, crashing through the undergrowth and whimpering as she ran.  Once she got to the adults, she attached herself to one of them and didn’t let go.

The remaining three moved faster toward them.

“Holy shit!  What the fuck is that thing!”

A couple...

Apocalypse Cultivation 2 chapter 16

It wasn’t immediately obvious where the screaming was coming from.  It took a few minutes.  Jake ran over roads and through patches of forest much faster than he could have even imagined before.  Running over land like this was several times easier than escaping from a group of monsters through the Web Burrows.

Jake found the source of the screaming about a kilometer away.  He cut through a park and quickly took a measure of the area.  It looked like a communi...

Apocalypse Cultivation 2 ch 15

Jake didn’t remember losing consciousness, but he woke up on the ground.  Asphalt was pressing into his cheek.  He looked around, getting his bearings, and verified he was definitely back on earth.  It seeemed he’d popped into existence in front of a fast food chicken restaurant.  There was a four lane road a stone’s throw away with a few broken down cars.

“I didn’t actually tell her where to put me, did I?” he wondered out loud.

Jake judged the tim...

Outspan Foster just made this for me.  :) Everyone thank Outspan.

I'm also going to post a few more AC2 chapters, probably tomorrow.  I'm getting close to being done with the book.  It'lll probably be around 35 chapters long.  I'm on 30.

Apocalypse Cultivation, ch 14

And now, crappy editing and all, you can see where the next act is going. :)

---------


“I will admit that I did not expect to see you for a while.”  The chair that the Morrigan reclined on slowly morphed and changed.  First the wood became gold.  Then its simple form turned into a throne made of bone with gold trim.  Images of flowers and crows decorated every inch.  What looked like a glass of wine on a small adjacent table rose from the misty g...

Apocalypse Cultivation 2, ch 13

Again, the editing is going to suck here.  Please bear with me :)

I've bene busy as hell this month and I am excited about the story.

-------

The meeting with Rishlay had gone well.  Now that Jake was sure that his plan would work, there was no reason to put it off any longer.  The crow had just left less than a minute ago.

Jake phased through the rock of his little hidey hole and wondered again whether it would really be wise to change his monster sp...

Apocalypse Cultivation 2, ch 12

Apologies in advance for the editing.  It won't be as good as usual.

I have like over 10 more chapters written though and I need to get the book done.  

I'll go back and reedit everything in about a week. :)

--------------

Jake sat on a stone in his little base of operations in the labyrinth.  The little space appeared to be a small cave that had been blocked off from the starting area by an ancient cave in.  He absently scratched in the dirt b...

A little bit of an update

Hey all!  I want to let you know that I'm getting closer to being done with Apocalypse Cultivation 2.

I'm working on chapter 20 right now.

Sorry I haven't been posting, but I've been laser focused on getting the book done.

I'll put up another chapter or two in the next day or two, but my plan is to get the book done, then mass release everything as I edit them.

Sorry for the lack of communication.  I've just been heads-down trying to get this book done. 2022-08-26 00:37:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Shrug Lindstrom's Story

The working title for this one will be Apocalypse With Numbers.  Creative, huh? :P

I'm still working on other stuff right now, and I should be putting more stuff up in the next few days.

I wanted to share this with you all to get your feedback, though.  This story is practically begging me to tell it right now, so I plan to write it in my off time similar to how I wrote the first half of Apocalypse Cultivation, Trojan Nightmare.

Anyway... tell me what you think....

Wow this month has sucked

So right after dealing with my dog, my wife and I both got sick.  Those of you on Facebook are most likely already aware.

And now that I'm starting to finally feel better, nature has said, "fuck you," and gave me a cold sore.  I just discovered this fact like... 30 minutes ago.

This month has sucked in the BC household.  I hope everything is going better for you all.

Even though I feel like shit right now, I'm still working on some stuff now so I can at lea...

Thank you for your patience lately

Hi all.

I really don't want to make this post, and I don't plan to really talk about this anywhere else but here on Patreon but I feel like you all deserve an explanation.  I feel a strong sense of resposibility to you all to keep you updated about changes in my life that affect my work.

The last few weeks it has been really hard for me to focus and even harder to work.  My dog has been sick, declining pretty fast and I've been kind of avoiding reality.

However,...

Jakes Story 2, chapter 11

Jake found himself in a room full of shadows, cloth streamers descending from the ceiling so high above he couldn’t see where they began.  There was no sign of a Faceted anywhere yet.

This is weird, he thought.  Jake looked around more closely but didn’t see anything moving, and there were no real clues to what was going on.  The darkness extended outwards and he got the impression it was a vast space, an enormity he had not been prepared for and let him feel...

Jakes Story 2, chapter 10

Jake reached his destination without any more problems.  He was even able to avoid a group of demon beasts on the way.

This deep in the mine, he wasn’t worried too much about them, though.

He hefted the pick that he’d left leaning against the stony wall the last time he was there.  After all this time it was still in pretty good repair.  Then he eyed the little Jake-sized tunnel he’d been working on for about two years now.  Every inch he’d dug into the...

Jakes story 2, ch 9

“Don’t mind Han Wan, Jake,” said Han Ten.  “And Han Wan, you should be kinder to our friend Jake here, who will eventually be one of our close brothers.”

Jake narrowed his eyes.  Han Ten had been harassing him to join their gang for the last five years.  They’d tried bullying, bribery, pretty much everything but open threats.  It seemed now threats were on the table.  Prior to this, one reason Jake had tried to play it safe while dealing with these p...

Jakes Story 2, chapter 8

Light exploded in his mind but then there was just stillness.

Enlightenment felt different than Jake had expected.  He’d thought that he would feel physically different, something like when he achieved another level of cultivation–becoming something more, stronger.  Instead, one moment there were still holes in his knowledge, and the next, he just understood.

Veil Piercing Phoenix Eyes and Phoenix Piercing Talon.  They weren’t only techniques, they were pieces...

Jakes Story 2, chapter 7

:)

***

Slim was mining fast as usual.  The wait was almost over.

No demon beasts attacked while Jake was reflecting about how he’d come to this place.  To this day, he still wasn’t completely sure how Lady Brima had captured him, although he knew a lot more about Seeking Enlightenment experts, now.

He’d learned a lot over the last nine years.  Now he knew more about the Murim world and about cultivation itself.  He was no longer the cluele...

Jakes story 2, ch 6

*Over nine years ago, on the same day Jake had come to the Murim world*

Right after using his bat mount’s special ability, he appeared in the air between two large hills, not quite mountains.  He didn’t know how far he’d teleported away, but this was definitely a different-looking area.

After he was able to think clearly, he felt through his link with the clay bat that it was exhausted.  It gave a few flaps of its big grey wings, then before Jake could even react,...

Jakes Story 2, ch 5

Jake trudged down one of the underground side paths he’d taken countless times before.  He paused along the way to mark yet another day on the wall.  Over ten years had passed since he’d come to this place.  That was depressing but at least the plan he’d come up with was almost ready.

“Hey Jake, why are we going this way?  I thought we were going to that new vein we found last week.”  Jake turned and regarded his workmate.  Not for the first time,...

Delvers LLC: Hostile Takeover, book 5 has launched!

Hey everyone!  I have a few things to cover here.

First off, Delvers LLC 5 has launched.  Links are here:

1000 rating gang

Delvers LLC hit 1000 ratings today, on the same day that I got done writing Delvers LLC 5.  Pretty good day.

Thank you for all of your support over the years.  I'll be posting the last 2 chapters of Delvers LLC 5 in the next few.

Delvers LLC art - Keeja

I commissioned some Keeja art. :)  If you guys like this, I was thinking about having another artist or two take a crack at her, too.

What other character(s) should I get some art of?

Something that just occurred to me...

Hey everyone,

Not a single one of you has messaged me about this, so I have a feeling not many are going to care, but I want to make sure I'm not being a douche.

I just realized that I didn't send books out to Patreon patrons for Trojan Nightmare.  This is the first time I have published a book through a publisher, so it's a little different on my end this time.

That said, I'm aware a lot of you buy the books anyway, because you're awesome, but if anyone wants a copy...

Apocalypse Cultivation - Trojan Nightmare is out (and other news)

Hey folks!

Trojan Nightmare came out today.  The audio book came out as well and is voiced by Luke Daniels.  Pretty spicy and very exciting.

In other news, I have a few chapters of Delvers LLC 5 almost ready to post on here.  Thank you for being so patient.  I really wanted to post these chapters together for a greater impact and some more fully formed feedback.

I'm really nervous about this plot arc because it has the potential to make this book a fav...

Long-term side project story idea poll!

Hey everyone!  

Some of you might remember that the plot of First Song was chosen by Patreon patrons.  Well, Outspan Foster and I have a new project idea.  

Before you ask, no, this is not going to take away time from my other writing, and I think it might actually help.  Outspan is actually going to do a lot of the heavy lifting.  

This plan involves tryinga new type of storytelling and actually creating a new pen name to write t...

My new chair

Hey everyone!  After chatting with you all on here and on Discord, I decided to get a Secretlab Titan 2022.  Ultimately, I didn't want to give up on the form factor of a gaming chair, not least of which because I write GameLit and LitRPG.  Surrounding myself with fun, geeky stuff seems to help my creative process.

I also got the House Stark special edition (and there's a Valentines Day sale going on.  Whether there's always a sale of some sort at Secretlab, I don't ...

Delvers LLC 5, ch 12

I apologize in advance for the higher number of typos in this chapter.  I was going to post it yesterday, but it ended up being a little longer than I'd intended and my brain is mush right now.

If I don't post this now, I'll feel guilty which will ruin my writing zen and none of us want that.

Anyway, if you don't want to deal with a few extra typos, I'll have them fixed by tomorrow.

Delvers LLC is back, baby!

Chair question

Hey everyone!  I have a new chapter coming out tonight for Delvers LLC.

But before then, I have a question for the hive mind here...

What chair should I get?

See, I have a DX Racer that one of you gifted to me years ago and it means a lot to me, which is probably why I have kept it as long as I have.  It's really falling apart now.  I'm sad to see it go but I need something new.

So I actually have 2 questions:

First, as per the earlier questio...

News: Delvers LLC chapters in the works

Sorry for the wait everyone!  I'm working on stuff, I promise.

I also have a drawing/painting of Keeja coming soon to share.  I'll be posting that here, but the media will be physical, so afterwards I'll likely experiment with a giveaway on Discord (not on Patreon.  It's against TOS to give anything away on here).  If you're a Patreon patron, you can automatically join my Discord, though.

There isn't a lot else to tell you guys now other than more art is comi...
