Official Release - The Faceless Minion Volume 1 is now live!

Hey everyone, great news (for me)! The Faceless Minion, Volume 1, has just gone live on Amazon! 

FYI, I'm dropping the first few chapters on Royal Road if you want to preview the differences. So come see where it all began! The prequel to Terminate the Other World! The volume that...doesn't...have any...lovable cyborgs...

Um...

W-Wait for the next volume if you're just here for lovable cyborgs?

Terminate the Other World Chapter will arrive soon, might be slightly later today as I manage the Faceless Minion launch but will definitely get one out!

Author's Note:

Muahaha…MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Tremble and despair, foolish readers, for this is not Icalos. This is…Editing Icalos! That bumbling buffoon released the ancient seals holding me back, and is now locked away in the depths of my lair! And now that I have been released, it is time to subject this world to unspeakable evil!

That’s right, I have done the evilest thing I can think of!

Monetization.

I have taken what small amount of joy that buffoon introduced into your dreary little lives and converted it into cold, hard cash! Wail and lament as you must now pay $4.99 (taxes not included) if you wish to witness the beginning of Bob’s tale!

But what’s that?

You say you don’t fear me?

You say you’ve already finished reading, and so my paywall is not a threat to you?

That, dear reader, is where you are wrong.

For behold…I have EDITED the novel!

Do you wish to see Linda introduced in Volume 1, slowly and steadily building her relationship with Londyn? Do you wish to witness the Tokyo Job and see how Bob acquired the Scroll of Demonic Binding? Do you want Constanza Rubio to have an actual backstory and personality?

Well TOO BAD! Suffer and despair in your fear of missing out, wondering what other treasures I have hidden behind the wall of true evil! Muahahahaha! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Stop right there, Editing Icalos!

Gah! You again?! How in the name of all that is evil did YOU of all people break out of your cell?!

It was super easy, barely an inconvenience! You see, I was trembling and despairing in the corner when suddenly one of your minions accidentally dropped his key literally right in front of my cell! It was super convenient!

That minion is so fired! But it matters not! You may have escaped for now, but your powers are inconsequential compared to my own. You can’t possibly stop me!

Is that so?

What…What is that?!

You see, I happened to bring a friendly…behold…a NEW NOVEL!

Oh, is that all? Very clever, inferior Icalos, but that is not nearly enough to stop me…

But wait, there’s more! You see, this is not just any new novel…

What?

This is…a LitRPG I wrote for Writathon!

Gah! You don’t mean…

Look at this entire system that I didn’t plan at all!

GAH!

Look at the mountains of tables, the countless equations, and the constant system messages that I threw together without considering quality, consistency, or balance at all!

GAK!

Yes, I know your weakness…see if you’re my evil doppleganger, that means you’re like me! A lazy procrastinator! So I know you can’t possibly survive in the face of this mountain of future work you’ll have to do someday!

NO! This cannot be?!

Just imagine…how long will it take you to untangle this mess of a system I made!

NOOOOOOO!!!!! This…this isn’t over! You haven’t seen the last of me!!!

Whew. Ok, hey everyone, Icalos here. Evil has been vanquished (or should I say terminated?) and I’m back in control of the novel! Now all I have to do to return things to normal is demonetize this!

Yes, demonetize this!

De…monetize.

As in…not take money…for this…

…

Well would you look at the time! It’s time to work on this shiny new novel!

What’s that?

Setting things back to normal?

Ehhhh if I get around to it. We’ll figure it out…later!
