“Try this,” said Kevin. 

“Really?  You eat these?”

“Don’t sleep on meat-on-a-stick.  It’s one of my favorite things to eat in Clearmine.”

Lydia eyed him skeptically.  “Truly?”

“I promise.”

She gave him one more dubious look, shrugged, and bit into the skewer he’d offered her.  Then, predictably, her eyes lit up.  Kevin chuckled.

He was a...

“Lydia, could I get your help?”

His cousin was still sitting at the table were they’d eaten breakfast, but now she was sipping on something and reading a book.  She looked up with a lazy expression that quickly turned to shock.  “Wow!  You really are different now?”

“You could tell that fast?”

“Of course, because I’m a dr–” she shut her mouth with a click and tried to casually check whether anyone had hear...

"I still don't understand how you did it," said Lydia. She stuffed a spoonful of eggs into her mouth with obvious irritation. Kevin smiled in return. Based on how his cousin had taken the news when he first showed her Alariel’s letter, he'd realized she wasn't that upset about not being in charge. Of course, having a handwritten note by the great mage of Alariel might have had something to do with it too. Kevin had zero doubts that the letter was folded away somewhere safe, maybe...

apologies

Hey everyone,

Sorry I've slowed down on the chapter releases. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed lately, but everything will get better when I finish a another book or two. While I can manage writing several books at once, it's kind of exhausting.

Anyway, we should be back to a more consistent release schedule soon.

Since we missed a Past Life Hero 3 release, I will really try to get a full 3 chapters out in the next couple days. This is how I want to release it anyway,...

Reincarnator RB Dragons, ch 45

Kevin sat in a room of Alariel's tower that he'd never seen before. The mage herself sat across from him on a divan, her fingers steepled and a pensive expression on her face. Between them on a table was a sample of the potion that he'd made. Every once in a while, Alariel dipped her eyes down to glance at the potion. Kevin was content to wait her out before she started talking. As the silence stretched, he thought about how in his haste and blind tunnel vision to learn Alchemy, to create a n...

Reincarnator RB Dragons, ch 44

The page he was writing in was almost full.  Kevin looked at the new page of notes and made a face. He’d filled up quite a few now. Over the last two weeks, he had been studying even harder than before, and he had even used some of his own money to buy several books on Alchemy that he had found in shops around town. Of course, none of them had actual recipes, and they were vague on Alchemy processes, but there was still good information inside.

The idea to check out bo...

Reincarnator RB Dragons, ch 43

When Kevin asked Alariel for an autograph, she didn't react to the request gracefully or act as if it was a regular occurrence, like he’d expected. Instead, she chuckled, and when Kevin asked what she found humorous, she simply shrugged. She didn't question why Kevin asked her to make the signature "Lydia" in a copy of the book that Alariel apparently wrote thirty years ago, either.

After that brief interaction, the great mage disappeared to some other part of her tower, le...

Time passed quickly as Kevin suddenly found himself incredibly busy.  His days were jam-packed with work and training.

Most days he would leave the inn that had become his de facto home in Clearmine, heading for Potent Potions.  Now that he had his routine down, Addison mostly ignored him.  Kevin hadn’t had any potions rejected since his second day, and he was sure that had just been posturing by Addison.  The money he made at this job was almost insulti...

Past Life Hero 3, ch 28

:)




Several days after Max's breakthrough, he found himself back at the Trifecta guild. This time, instead of going up the back way like he had before, he decided to enter through the lobby. It still wasn’t exactly the most prudent thing to do, but with his plans for the day, prudent wasn’t really on the menu.

Might as well kick everything off by starting bold and just roll with it.

Past Life Hero 3, ch 27

Mana swirled in the air in a vortex, so thick that if anyone were watching, they would have seen sparks in the air, visible to the naked eye.  Earth had an absolutely astonishing amount of mana now.  It took all of Max’s control to move it quickly, though.  It was like trying to move an oar through honey.  The density of the mana made it thick, but his control was so precise, it was still able to easily manipulate it--it just took time.

Max could feel that he was g...

The knock echoed past the door, it settled into the surrounding stones.  However, nothing happened for a few moments. He strained his hearing, wondering if he would hear footsteps on the other side. Suddenly, one side of the double doors silently opened. It wasn't a gust of wind or the door actually opening on its own. It was very clearly some sort of magical or mechanical device that had opened the door.  He could see the metal arm that recessed into the adjacent stone.

Kevin faced his cousin inside a nearby park.  He didn’t know whether the place was usually popular or not, but Lydia wasn’t suppressing her aura very well ever since she’d let a bit of it slip at Lord Alex’s mansion.  The normal evening noises were gone.  No birds chirped, even the insects were silent.  As long as she was here, most people would avoid the area and not even consciously know why.

The fact the weather was so nice and the park so beaut...

Reincarnator RB Dragons, ch 39

Kevin arrived at the gates of the mayor's mansion with plenty of time to spare. Since the official messenger had shown up the day before while Kevin had been drunk to give him this summons, every aspect of this enforced social call had been annoying. Kevin had plenty of experience with the nobility from his second life, and he'd studied this world's nobility, most of whom were near-equals to himself in his current position. So, to be summoned with so little courtesy was rude. To add insult to...

I took my time heading towards the farms outside of town, traveling cautiously.  There was plenty of evidence of monsters and people who had passed through the area, but other than some vehicles in the distance and the omnipresent, distant sounds of gun shots, I didn’t have any issues.

The relative peace was a nice change of pace.

I made good time, even though I mostly kept to the woods by following motorcycle trails.  When I started to get close ...

I walked away from the junkyard for some time, my feet seeming to carry me away on their own.

My earlier feeling that I was fine after killing people for the first time ended up being a lie.  It was true that I didn’t feel guilty, but I kept feeling worse and worse, like a knot was forming in my heart.  Stress filled my shoulders.

 Even though I wasn't breaking down into tears and was still functional, I realized that everything that had just happened ...

When I ambled back to the Larsons' junkyard, the man in overalls hurriedly opened the gate for me. Then, all the adults moved back respectfully. At least, I liked to think it was respect and not just fear. None of the children were anywhere to be seen. I figured that they either had uncommon common sense or the adults had told them to make themselves scarce if anything violent ever happened.

Nobody spoke for a moment before the blonde woman hesitantly asked, "I wanted to say ...

Even before I'd been attacked, I'd gotten the lay of the land and figured that my greatest threat was that most of Caleb’s group were hunkered behind vehicles. Even though I'd just stolen  Hailey’s the Necromancer’s goblin summon, there were still plenty of potential magical abilities among them, not to mention firearms.

Behind me, the junkyard family was yelling in shock and anger, likely believing that I was dead or dying. But I noticed that none of them had shot...

As we rounded the corner of the slatted fence, an SUV and a car came into view. I quickly counted nine people: two women and seven men. They all looked like rough customers. In front of me, Randy paled and turned back around, running back around the corner even faster than he’d first cleared it.  He grabbed my shoulder as he went past and tugged me after him. As I looked back over my shoulder, I saw that none of the newcomers had noticed us. All of them were heavily arme...
