Hey everyone! π The big day is finally here! π My new story, Becoming the Dark Lord, is officially launched! π
Itβs been months of writing while Iβve been locked away in a cave (haha), but itβs finally out of my head and onto the page!
First off, I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who supports me here on Patreon. This wouldnβt have been possible without your belief in me. π
This story has been a long time coming. Iβve been working on it since the first chapter of Athena's General. Itβs been a year of going back and forth, but I finally managed to finish it exactly how I wanted!
I know youβre already giving me amazing support here, but Iβd be even more grateful if you could head over to Royal Road and follow the story there as well:
Becoming the Dark Lord [LitRPG] | Royal Road
Today, Iβve released 5 chapters here on Patreon, and theyβre also live on Royal Road. For free members, you can continue reading the story over there too! Tomorrow, 5 more chapters will be released, and after that, Iβll be posting 2 chapters per day.
For Patreon supporters, the release schedule will be the same β 2 chapters per day. The difference, of course, is that youβll be way ahead in the story:
Tier 1: 10 chapters ahead of the Royal Road schedule.
Tier 2: 25 chapters ahead.
Tier 3: 50 chapters ahead.
Sorry in advance, but youβre going to get a lot of notifications in the next few days as I release chapters, haha! Iβm just trying to catch up with the demand! So, get ready for a ton of material to read! π
Hereβs the story intro, and once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your support! β€οΈ
Synopsis:
In Luke's world, Earth has been integrated into the System. This cosmic force connects planets to a multiverse of gods, monsters, and dungeons. Nearly half of humanity has already accepted the call. Those who enter may return stronger⦠or never return at all.
Thirteen years ago, Lukeβs mother entered the Tutorial and never came back. Since then, heβs been torn between the memory of a past he canβt let go of and the silence of an adopted future. When he finally enters the System, he doesnβt seek glory, power, or adventure. All he wants is one answer: what happened to her?
But what was supposed to be a beginnerβs test becomes a death sentence. Luke falls into a forgotten and isolated floor, where monsters are scarce, food is limited, and the only exit lies behind a sleeping demon.
Alone, wounded, and hopeless, he faces an impossible challenge: crossing a temple suspended over the abyss, solving life-or-death puzzles, and ultimately facing a boss no one was meant to defeat. No buffs. No tricks. Just a knife⦠and the will to survive.
But the price of victory might be too high.
Because when everything fades and the body gives up, only one choice remains:
Embrace the darkness.
And be reborn.
