Monster Haven 1 Arts!

Henlo my dudes. I know you were expecting another chapter of Deathless and I'm really sorry that this is not another chapter of Deathless.

With my life things happening, I got very behind on my word count and I'm so sorry =(

But here's a cool art! So excited! Can't wait to see it with...

Deathless - Chapter Seven: Paradise

Rhen and Aki walked through the dim first floor of Illuth tower. The lava flows had decreased to a low ambiance, but even with no risk of creatures or Kavga, it was creepy to Rhen. He didn’t want to make a base somewhere so dark, either, so he was glad that Aki agreed a base on the sec...

Deathless - Chapter Six: Leveled up, Learned up

The walk back to the guardian tower was not nearly as bad as Rhen thought it would be, but perhaps that was the cushioned boots on his feet that made the journey easier. The sky was still dark when they returned, and Rhen wondered if there was a sun here, or a sky. It was all a bit claustrophobic...

Deathless Chapter Five: Bosses, Bases, and Bazaars

Rhen readied his crescent blades and pulled in a long breath to calm his nerves. Level bosses were always a pain, even if it was just level one. Rhen crept to the edge of the boss room and peeked one eye around the corner.

The boss was a massive undulatiRhen readied his crescent blades and ...

Deathless Chapter Four: Brawn in the Brimstone

The black teleportation shroud evaporated, leaving Rhen and Aki standing on a rocky overlook at the base of Illuth tower. Rhen turned around a few times, taking in the surroundings. There were several towers clustered together where they stood at the top of a ridge, and a few mile expanse between...

Deathless Chapter Three: Promise on a Blade

Rhen and Aki passed a few Deathless Guardians on their way to the outer door where hopefully they’d find some weapons. The guardians hardly spared the recruits a glance, but those who did smiled, not all of them friendly, though. The guardians were adorned in different sets of gear, all glowing...

Deathless Chapter Two: Warm Welcome

“Recruits, rise!” the voice startled Rhen awake.

He sat up in a room so bright he had to shield his face at first. With slow blinks and squinted eyes, he took in his surroundings. Many beds flanked his own, and people—as well as some things he’d consider monsters—sat among the oth...

Deathless Towers Book 1 - Guardian Trials - Chapter 1: Trial of the Deathless

Rhen had reached the top of the tower. He could sense it in his weary bones. Either that, or the dehydration, sleeplessness, and malnutrition had finally done in his senses. Rhen had been climbing the guardian tower what felt like months, and his rations from the surface had run out long ago. He ...

Opinionarium: Anima vs Spirit

Henlo my dudes. It's time to provide your opinion on things.

In the Deathless Towers series I have the "spirit" being a prime source of power for casting magic (eventually they'll learn to cast spells using other stuff, like rocks, or sacrifices... >_>)

ANYWAY, on to the poll. W...

Monster Haven Art Update

Henlo dudes, we have an update! Androgenized Dolli has arrived and she's still really super cool looking. We cried a little over the loss of beautiful boobies, but the market demands a de-sexualized female on the cover if it's not a harem book...

So when I saw this I was like "Oh no, she's way too sexy." But then it started to grow on me... She has a long way to go still, and I think we'll take the sexy down a few notches, but what do y'all think? Too sexy? Just right?

Also, I updated her visuals in the book...

Frost-biting wind whistled past Dolli’s ears atop Nubiri’s modified harness. Behind her were the ingredients necessary to make just enough Egg Noggin-Fogger for all twenty-four of them. Beside her rode the twelve elves on their reindeer, hopeful and terrified.

“Are we,” Greg gasped, “almost there yet?” Greg fanned himself with a broad leaf and took a seat on the damp, stone step. The forest had thinned out the closer they came to a rocky hill only to discover it wasn’t a hill, but an old temple. They’d encountered a fair number of massive c...

Dolli marched out of her cottage with Taffy hot on her heels.

Charred hero skeletons blanketed the ground outside of Monster Haven where Dolli patrolled. She popped the cork on her second to last Spark potion and sucked it down, then tossed the vial into the field of ash. The power of the gem was beyond reason, but it was near impossible to control.
