Chapter 68 Hey Kid, Wanna Learn A Magic Trick?

“Tommy Wells, meet Jember,” Merkovah nodded at the sunny man, “And Etenesh, his cousin.”

Truth waved at them and smiled. They smiled back, looking a little overwhelmed. No idea what t...

Patreon Borked My Post Order

Let me know if all the chapters are unlocked for the new Barefoot Prophet tier. If something isn't, I'll fix it right away. Pro tip- if you set a load of things to post simultaneously, Patreon will...

NEW TIER NEWS!

First of all- New Barefoot Prophet is up! $10 gets you 20 chapters ahead of RR.  

Second- Sorry about the odd way Patreon loaded the scheduled posts. Apparently, this made sense to it. S...

Chapter 65 A Little Down Payment

“So.  Let’s get you started.  What do you have as your first spell?  Utility spell?”  Teacher Merkovah asked.

“Body Cultivation.  The Meditations of Valentini...

Chapter 66 A Slice of Life

Merkovah thought his office looked like some kind of conspiracy nutjob’s “special” wall.  There were little scraps of paper laid out on the floor, different books had been positioned car...

Chapter 59 What Price A Goat?

Truth woke with the dawn, feeling something skittering over his leg.  He tried to shake it off, still half asleep.  He felt something poke his ankle, then again.  Not painful, really...

Chapter 60 Nasty, Brutish and Short

The tactical situation was very bad.  Truth was standing out in what was essentially an open intersection.  The nearest cover was two buildings fifty meters away, and everything else was�...

Chapter 61 Bickering Old Men

Truth sat on a bench in the Agora.  He had long since finished eating, but the two old bastards beside him were bickering like champions, and he couldn't bear to go.

“We agree that it ...

Chapter 58 The Measure of a Mage

Truth had learned his lesson the night before- he drove directly to the highway and stayed on the highway.  He still couldn't read the signs but figured “Generally North-East” was manageab...

Chapter 62 I Want Spells!

Acid started raining down over the front of the garage, hissing and spitting as it burned holes in the dirt.  He could hear villagers yelling and metal clanking, somewhere between a chime and ...

Chapter 63 Young Man, You Are Posessed!

Truth woke to the sounds of hammering outside the hotel.  He had faintly hoped for more screaming from the System, but you can’t have everything.  Worth investigating why his body could...

Chapter 64 The Exorcist's Intern

“I’m not buying anything and won’t sell anything for you!”  Truth barked reflexively in Jeongo.  He didn’t know why, but the short, beardy man with intense eyes gave off the sca...

Chapter 67 Alternatives

The ghostly serpent shattered in Truth’s grasp, dispersing as wisps of grey gas under the brilliant tropical sun.  Widow Yettran gasped and rattled on the ground, shivering like she had a fe...

Chapter 57 That Was An Option? (End of Volume 1)

Entrance into the university was unexpectedly smooth.

“I told him you were a wealthy overseas student here while your parents were working abroad,”  Thrush said with as much cheer as...

Chapter 56 Wait a Goddamn Second!

Truth coolly cataloged the guard in front of him.  Wearing fatigues, no armor, cap with brim.  No visible rank insignia.  The fetish looks professionally made, and given the size and...

Chapter 55 Very Reasonable Questions

Truth chuckled mirthlessly, seeing the notification. Time to explore the city, hit up the university, maybe start scouting districts for raiding.

Great thinking. Hey Genius, take a look out ...

Exciting News!

I'm improving the tiers, effective Friday. Barefoot Prophet is dropping from $20 to $10... and getting an extra ten chapters over what's released for the Awakened. Yep. 20 Chaps ahead of RR. <...

Chapter 54 Securing The Home Front, And A Sofa

Truth started whistling as he pulled apart the sofa. He didn’t know how to whistle but saw no reason to let that stop him from trying. Springs- could use those. Plenty of iron there.  The cl...

Chap. 53 Finding "Home"

They drove over in silence. The apartment building was four stories, blocky, and unadorned. The apartments were arranged around a central courtyard that people had thrown their garbage into for yea...

Chapter 52- Settling In

Truth took two explosive steps towards the alley, stopped hard, and doubled back for his iron horse. He had a great idea, it required the two-wheeler, and by God, he wouldn’t let these t...

Keep or Trash $3 Tier?

I have 0 Patrons at that tier level.  It’s basically just additional admin at this point. OTOH, maybe someone will want it someday? I figured I would ask the crowd- Keep or trash the $3 tier...

Chapter 51- Just People Helping People

“Summon humanoid system interface. Hey, explain why I am somehow magic-resistant.” Truth was filled with piss and vinegar after his nap.

The System growled.  “The point of body cul...

Chapter 50- Trustworthy Numbers

The system slowly materialized, still looking casual. Excessively casual. In other circumstances, hopefully soon occurring circumstances, Truth would have described the look as “unwisely casual.�...

Chapter 49- Wheels and Meals

Truth “thoughtfully” relieved Loudmouth of his spear.  He gave it a quick once over.  It was just a long, polished bit of wood with a broad metal head.  Maybe it had ritual signi...

Chapter 48- Your Clothes. Give Them To Me.

“Alright, so everything is terrible. I’m basically naked here-”

“No “basically” about it.”  Muttered the System.

“Alright, I am buck naked in the middle of the dese...

Chapter 47- Mudball Dreams

Truth stared blankly at the rude little ghost/sprite/hallucination thing. There was a lot to unpack there.

“Presumed dead?”

“You did die. The System did eject from your spell aper...

Timed Patreon Exclusive SR Side Story #1: The Broken Contract

Since you guys are two weeks ahead, a quick note- This is set a day or two after the battle at Fort Leucre.

The carriage bumped up the unpaved road. On the other side of t...

Chapter 46- Morning, Sunshine

Truth wasn’t sure he woke up.  It was black as the inside of his eyelids, even when he thought his eyes were open.  Did he go blind?  It wouldn’t be surprising after… everythin...
