The APOCALYPSE has come

It's done. The first book of Apocalypse Healer has officially left Royalroad.

Is has not been long on Royalroad and I am a little bit sad, but I am even happier to fulfill multiple items on my bucket list with today's release.

Henceforth, new readers will come from Amazon, and that ma...

With the third volume, Path...

Path to Prosperity - B3 Epilgoue

Hundreds of Healers and Mythics rushed through the narrow gaps, evading the injured lying in makeshift sickbeds. They took care of as many patients as possible but help came too late for more than two third of the united forces.

Even the survivors weren’t unscathed. The luckiest were exha...

The timing couldn’t have been any worse. 

Percy’s body felt like it had been electrified; his flesh rippled in anguish, and his mana path tightened. His bones crunched, and his muscles felt like they were pulled apart.

It was painful and near impossible to endure. His body th...

The Beast King and King Phillip struck the Devil when he was distracted. King Phillip’s blade whipped through the air with a thunderous sound. His attack hit the mark, but only barely, cutting cleanly through the Devil’s armpit, where no scale protected him.

A fountain of black blood gu...

A glacier-blue lance pierced the Demon Lord before Percy could deal the finishing blow. It wasn’t even like Percy was desperately struggling against the Demon Lord, yet a rider of the united forces considered it necessary to place the knight in shining armor for him.

Percy glanced at the ...

Percy accessed his spatial ring and retrieved a Monster Card.

“You better be exactly what I’m looking for!”

Percy grumbled, fusing with the Card that had manifested in his hand while the Abomination continued consuming more and more demon carcasses.

The binding process was...

Nobody knew what was happening, but everyone moved instinctively, doing exactly what the voice had commanded. 

Most didn’t even recognize the voice, yet the words struck their heart chords. It gave them something they’d lost not too long ago. A glimmer of hope blossoming in their h...

Everything went downhill after the Devil changed his tactic. The Cardists and Mythics supporting the Beast King, the Imperial head, and King Phillip transformed into the Devil’s prime targets and were slaughtered like livestock. 

As the sight unfolded before the Beast King and others...

Endless hunger spread across the war zone, fueling the demonic forces. They spun around, foam oozing from the corners of their mouths as they roared. Demonic Essence gushed from all over their bodies, and they shot forward, ignoring their brethren as they closed the distance to the neared defende...

Those who kept fighting the flood of demons were strong-willed Gifted. Even the sight of thousands upon thousands of demons didn’t shatter their mental fortitude. The first line of defense may not be enough to block all Demons, but they were enough to pick out the strongest Demons and stall the...

A resounding pulse swept across the Moonlight Forest, almost like it tried filling dying nature with a final burst of life. But that wasn’t what happened. The towering trees crumbled and collapsed, and even the most resilient plant life withered.

“The others have already received your help, didn’t they?”

Percy glanced at his father as he was about to finish upgrading the last four Monster Cards.

“It’s a present from the Beast King and the Imperial Head. I do not recall their exact words, but it was something about the teamwork of two nations and a gift of appreciation,” The King told Percy in a whisper, but he wasn’t really present. He stared blankly at his sword and maintained i...

The Beast King shifted into his humanoid form right after smashing into the Three-headed Hellhound at full speed. The Hellhound was hurled aside and slid across the dry ground, squashing an unfortunate Grand Hellhound. Nobody paid attention to the Grand Hellhound’s desperate howl, the last soun...

“Don’t let anyone through!” The Imperial Head’s voice beamed across the defense line as the flood of demons charged forward.

The defenders’ view was filled with black and purple spots. Even the cloudless sky was shrouded in dark bodies.

The following days passed slowly, but days soon turned into a full week. 

Percy’s relationship with Louis improved again – he hadn’t even known that it was strained until the Demi told him about his struggles. Louis had been increasingly curious about the Beastmen’s freedom. At...

The next day arrived quickly. It was still early in the morning, and ruby red sun rays peeked through the window, casting aside the darkness of the night. 

Percy jumped up with a vibrant smile, life filling every inch of his body, and got ready for work.

The initial tests were completed in no time.

Volume Extension Apocalypse Healer

I changed Apocalypse Healer's volume tags, meaning I extended the first volume. The first volume is still not completed. I think I found a very nice spot to finish it after modifying my outlines.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Enjoy!

Once everyone had washed up and changed into clean clothes, they met up in the dining hall of the royal palace. Percy didn’t loathe formal clothes, but he was so used to Dragonscale and the rest of his combat wear that he pulled on his tunic now and then, trying to fix it when there was nothing...

The Imperial rushed to their leader with bright smiles and told him about their fights and everything they had to endure. They talked quickly, and their voices overlapped, making it too hard to listen to each of them.

David beheaded two Kobolds with a slash and a quick thrust. A blur of Torb in his plated armor rushed past him, smashing the heavy shield into another Kobold’s face. A sickening crunch resounded, followed by a satisfied grunt. A moment later, Torb’s mace arced through the air, crushing the ta...

“Is it just me, or is this totally unexpected?” Imperial Mathis asked loud enough to be heard by everyone. 

They had been traveling silently for days, training their mana control and Egos if possible, but there was a weird tension in the air.

The inability to replenish Blood was probably David’s biggest problem. His Source could form and contain up to two Blood droplets at a time—enough to use and overclock his Skill Runes frequently—but any unexpected consumption was a risk he couldn’t ignore.

David’s final pick was simple, yet he found it perfect. At least, he considered it perfect.

It took almost ten days before the Beast King was ready for negotiations. Clearing the Demon Lair had been rather easy, in theory, at least. The only issue was the Demon Lair’s size. Nobody expected the cavern network to be so extensive.

Arc’s Vault was impressive, to say the least. David’s eyes landed on several chests filled with currency slates and Fragments. The wealth in each wooden chest was probably enough to purchase entire streets in Arc—perhaps even more.
