Alright everyone. I'm only posting one chapter this weekend. It should hit tomorrow, and it'll be...interesting. This is the final chapter for book 3, with the possibility I add an epilogue at one point. It's a big deal for me and I want to make sure I do it right. As soon as it hits, I'm delayin...

The party was an absolute rager. It was the first of its kind in this rendition, at least to Walker’s knowledge, and lasted through a large part of the evening hours even if the sun didn’t change position. When the early hours of the morning made their appearance, two young ladies stood waiti...

Chapter needs one more small section then I'll post it up. Should be around 4.5k words, and I'm trying to get it out this afternoon.

Author's Note: Howdy kiddos. So, this is almost 4k words. The next chapter is already at 2k words, but I forsee another 2k words going into it and don't have enough time to finish that up before I burn out for the day. So, It may be a day or two, thus, expect a mid-week posting for the next chapt...

Howdy folks.
The first week of school is behind me, and it was incredibly rough.
I'm trying to write this chapter, but it's fairly large. I feel like I may only get a single chapter out this weekend, although it'll be doubled in size. Sorry for the delay, just a little tired ...

Naturally, Dionysus was ecstatic to take the job. In a loud voice, clearly trying to be heard over Ulysses’ version of high notes, he screamed out that he was Sonata’s newest and most exclusive bartender. Following a proclamation that Hephaestus would be creating the best nightclub in the fou...

Author's note:
Howdy folks. Here's the chapter. If you're wondering about the delay, school started back up. I also realized I need another chapter to complete things up. That means 3 to go till the end of book 3. Should have another one out tomorrow on time, and I'm excited to star...

Walker exited the portal doorway thing. It took longer than he expected for his eyes to adjust from the white blank of Ulysses' metaphysical room to the darkness of rendition 4AA’s space. When things came back into focus, he found himself standing directly above Romulus. Moving quickly due to t...

Howdy folks,
Should have a big chapter tomorrow, tentatively titled: Return of the Strandbinder. It has to do with talking to everyone about what's happened, reunion with Virgil and crew, gravity and portals. I wanted to publish it today, but I got wrapped up in updating...

Walker involuntarily let out a long breath of air after Ulysses finally lowered the Crystal Imager. They’d watched it twice to ensure it said exactly what he had intended. Nothing more and nothing less. It was important to him that they nailed it. After all, who knew how many people would see t...

Howdy Symphony Patrons!
Quick update here so you know what's going on with everything.
Book 1, as you saw this week, is complete. I sent it over to Podium, along with my author's notes, pronunciation guide (its REE-ME, not RYE-MY), and a breakdown of how the chapters sh...

Yes, I know, upcoming arcs haven't changed. That's because we're almost done with all of my system chapters. Soon enough, it won't be about systems. No. It'll be about people and civilization.

Howdy Folks,
Question for all of you. Have you noticed that anytime there's a new newsletter posted, I change something in it? Similar to my novels, I like to add a lot of hidden little tidbits within that few people will notice.

Authors note: Took me a good minute to get this out there. Long enough that I'm actually putting a one-chapter break into the RR postings to break even with my timeline. Right now, you're over two-months ahead of the RR crew.
These are some of the last "big" system chapters I'm going to pr...

Walker felt the ground shift as the platform rose again, Ulysses by his side. Looking down, just as his eyes adjusted to the size of the room again, he found the the entire space began to fill with different parts, each writing on a board in front of them.
“What the fuck is this?”...

I'm having fun mo-fos! That's what's happening. Been a lot of build up to this stuff, and it's going to set up SO MUCH of what happens in the future. I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am. 2024-07-21 00:19:48 +0000 UTC View Post

Ulysses nodded, “I had thought you might say something like that, but if you please, break down your thoughts in their entirety.”
Walker shot straight into it, “Skills aren’t like evolutions. Those are abilities that someone receives from the protocol, almost like a gift. Sure, you ...

“What?” Ulysses responded after hearing Walker’s comment. But the Creator hardly heard him. He was too busy looking him up and down. This wasn’t like the reflections. Each David had looked like a perfect physical copy of his current self. No, this other version of Walker was, for lack of ...

“I believe so, yes. Do you…” The Universal personality paused for a long moment, which Walker knew, was likely longer still with how its mind worked. “Do you think the empowerment will work?”

Walker came to floating in light, a welcome change from the darkness that had enveloped his vision for however long he had been here.

For Walker, the time between his overlay shutting off and turning back on was only seconds. He hoped that it was the same for everyone else.
