Mercenaries. The word came to Wu Jian’s mind in a flash. These were obviously the mercenaries who had been hired by Tian Hao, the lady alchemist who wanted him to become her plaything. What were they doing here, though? Had they followed them into this forest, or was this just a case of bad luc...
2022-05-23 15:02:02 +0000 UTC View PostWu Jian began doing laps around the spring. It wasn’t very big, maybe about twenty zhang from one side to the other, but that was big enough for him to get some exercise in. Yet as he was swimming near the side furthest from the girls, something powerful like a strong current pulled him down. C...

I'm having Michiroon make me some light novel art, and this is one of the color illustrations she came up with.
I really like it. My hope is I'll be able to put this in the LN whenever I publish it.

2022-05-16 14:37:26 +0000 UTC View PostWu Jian had not been allowed to leave the compound ever since the day that alchemist asked him to become her plaything. He felt trapped. Was this what a caged bird felt like? He’d once heard that some nobles liked to keep rare birds trapped in cages so they wouldn’t fly away. That’s what he...

Volume 8 isn't out yet, but I've already got Claparo started on volume 9. My plan is to have the art for every volume ready or almost ready before I publish volume 8.

I still don't have the appropriate dimensions so I can't create a finalized cover, but yeah, this is about what it will look like when it's done.
