Torchbearer is live on RR
Added 2025-08-20 16:10:53 +0000 UTCHey folks,
my new story is live on RR. Some of you have already seen it and since I've put it up as beta on RR, I applied some edits thanks to the feedback I've gotten. I'll address that in a bit. For now, here's the link!
The pitch (which I'm copying from a previous post):
The vibe I'm going for is Beware of Chicken x Tower of God x looper stories.
The story is about an MC who's been Isekai'd a while back in a world somewhat similar to the universe of Tower of God, where every floor is practically a realm/world. The class given to him initially by the dungeon hadn't been that great, making him into a support (Courier) but things had gone bad in one of the earlier delves, and he was named a Custodian, a secret role which gave him the ability to return back in time whenever he dies (in the Dungeon only). At first, it only sent him back hours, but by the time he leaves, it's a month and a half. Unfortunately, this OP skill was given to him along with one condition, he had to reach pretty deep in the dungeon before he was allowed to leave. He had to finish the Initiation.
The story begins when he finally finishes that quest after nearly a hundred years of looping, and he wants to get a rest. He wants to grow some coffee, bake and farm a little, and just... unwind. He will pop-into the dungeon on occasion but for now, he wants to chill.
If you find the premise interesting, please go follow it / favourite over there (Torchbearer) . The numbers help me a lot. As for scheduling, for now, (at least, for the first few weeks/months) it will be only on RR as I don't have a backlog just yet and I don't wanna fell behind on Undersea and Scorching.
What changed since the beta:
Not much aside from the feedback I've gotten. I tried to make the MC's personality pop a little more. I also put his abilities on display at the start of the chapter. The events that took place are the same.
For now, I will be removing the chapters of Torchbearer from Patreon as the stuff on RR is the edited version.
I hope you'll give it a chance!
