Chapter 30

“Let me guess. Big, red, and horny decided to stay in his own room?” Lethelin asked when Allora returned without him.

Mitchell looked up from where he was trying to arrange his sleeping a...

Chapter 31

Rather than the deep and ominous intonation Mitchell had expected, Dakath’s voice was almost lilting and feminine. It was clearly male, but it was the kind of male he used to see on K-pop boy ban...

False Alarm

You may have received an email that said Chapter 32 was just published. This is a false alarm. Once again, I hit submit without scheduling it and had to delete it and redo the post. Apologies.

To Discord or not to Discord?

I don't know if this is presumptive or not, but would any of you guys be interested in a Discord? If so, I can probably figure out how to create one. I know a lot of authors have their own Discord ...

Chapter 29

Lethelin shifted slightly as she watched the inn’s common room. Yarlest saw to a few more customers who wished a warm bed for the night and there were a handful of others that came and went in th...

Chapter 28

Allora glanced at the paper in the darkness and checked some of the buildings, and then indicated that they should take the left at the next intersection. 

“You can read that?” Mitch...

My disappointment is immesurable...

And my day is ruined.

Not really. But, in working with the artist to design the third book cover with the as-yet un-introduced third love interest, I sometimes get bummed out that magic isn'...

Chapter 27

Mitchell supposed he had been somewhat spoiled by The Maiden’s Mist in Basari, but even taking that into consideration, this hovel they now found themselves in seemed an absurdly far way down to ...

Chapter 26

“We will need to be careful as we enter the town,” Allora said as their destination, a small clump of buildings nestled tightly into the foot of the Skybreaker Peaks, grew slowly larger in the ...

New Artwork for books 1 & 2!

After a lot of back and forth and trouble with international payments that involved having funds frozen by the US government (not kidding), I finally have the covers back for the first two books. N...

Chapter 25

“Is that important?” Lethelin asked, looking more bemused than worried now.

“She is searching for me. If she finds me, she will take me back to Kazig.” 

Mitchell looked to ...

Chapter 24

Mitchell flexed his hand as they stepped out of the Dragon Academy into the desert sunlight. The palatial building reminded Mitchell of an old English manor except it was constructed mostly out of ...

Find the Easter Egg

If you've read any amount of Haremlit or LitRPG of the isekai variety, then you know it's quite common for a main character from modern-day Earth to drop pop culture references like beads to a bust...

Chapter 23

Mitchell walked to the door and stared at the two small crystals set into the stone. They were obviously some sort of mechanism to control it but they weren’t labeled. Not that he would have been...

Chapter 22

A door chime sounded as Lethelin was finishing brushing her hair. It was indecent the amount of soap she had needed to get the filth out of her hair but it felt so good to finally be clean again. L...

Name a character!

Character names are always things that I'm in short supply of. Sometimes I'll use online name generators, but I thought, since I have patrons, why not let you guys pick a name. So, if you'd like to...

Chapter 21

The inside of the Maiden’s Mist reminded Mitchell of a fancy hotel lobby. The air was substantially cooler than the humid desert heat outside, so much so that Mitchell wondered if they had someho...

Chapter 20

Mitchell broke the kiss and stepped back from Lethelin feeling dizzy. As he blinked the water from his eyes and looked down at her, she was just coming out of the trance of their first...

Upcoming Ad Campaign

My follow count on RoyalRoad has been in the 60s for the last week or two and I think it's time to run my first ad. I'd like to get it over 100 and hopefully that will allow it to build some moment...

Spruced Up Blurb

I never much liked the original blurb but was busy with other things so I never seemed to get around to updating it. But I just finished up ch.53 and was thinking on it and decided to go ahead and ...

Chapter 19

Allora pocketed the five gold fangs, eight silver scales, and three copper talons she received from the sale of their enchanted water barrel and a few other things they no longer needed and emerged...

Chapter 18

Just inside the gate was an open square that had three roads leading off from the entrance. The left and right diverged off at roughly forty-five-degree angles into the city and the other went stra...

New Cover for Book 1?

Here's what the artist has sent, sans the slight attitude in the email, which was good. It's got all the same elements as the original, as well as the pose, which I specified, as it's relevant to b...

More cover art drama

The artist doing the new cover sent me a first draft of his work, and he didn't follow clearly given instructions. Then he said he didn't get those instructions, so I had to copy/past the instructi...

New Cover Artist

I've given the go-ahead for an artist to design new covers for the series. He or she works with AI-created content a lot, but their visuals are beautiful. I've been assured that there will be no we...

Chapter 17

Mitchell wasn’t sure what to make of his first actual town in this new world. On the one hand, the people here were, for the most part, human-shaped, even if they were in a larger variety of body...

Chapter 16

“We are going to go through the first three basic sword movements but this time I want you to hold the light cantrip spellform in your mind as you perform each one. Hold it but don’t release it...

Slight delay

Next update will be delayed by a few hours, but will be up before the end of Friday. Apologies.

Well, that sucks.

My cover artist has dropped off the face of the earth. He's absent from his socials and his website has been taken down. Unfortunately, the third book cover (The Onyx Throne is a planned trilogy) w...

Chapter 15

The clorvol moved much faster on the hard-packed road than it had over land. It wasn’t as fast as a horse, which Mitchell saw they had an equivalent in this world, a creature called a jivi. As th...
