A/N: Reminder, the rest of the week are my scheduled editing days. I'll release one more chapter to fully catch up with my release schedule, but I don't quite know which day yet.
In case you need something to read, He Who Fights With Monsters Book 7 just dropp...

"Who are you?!" Zac growled as he wildly looked around, and [Verun's Bite] had already appeared in his hand.
'Being… being… I…' the voice answered, and Zac almost felt like he could sense a hint of confusion.
But that impression was soon drowned by an o...

Emerald Eye was the name given to one of Earth's four new moons and the one that looked the most like an actual planet. The name came from the fact ...

"Amazing," Ogras whispered.
Even Zac was moved as they looked up at the huge dark gray Cosmic Vessel floating in front of them. His Cosmic Vessel.
It was neither as big as some of the ships he'd seen in the Void Gate nor as awe-inspiring as the three models he had to pick from for his...

Remembering he could just pawn off the issue of Ultom on Ogras, it felt like a weight had been lifted off of Zac's shoulders.
"I'll think on this a bit longer before sending an answer," Zac said. "Is there anything else?"
"Nothing of great import," Triv answered. "The large movements ...

This was the last type of post I wanted to write just as we're back. But after two years of social distancing and not getting sick a single time, I've finally come down with something.
I am still intending on releasing the planned number of chapters, so either sat release(s) or shortening ...

"You can't remember?" Ra'Klid frowned. "This is no time for jokes."
"I… can't remember anything either," the spectral warrior hesitated as he floated over.
"Nothing? Nothing at all?" Zac said with confusion.
"Well, that's not completely true," the Mavai warrior slowly said. "F...

Sept 1st marks the end of my secluded cultivation, and we get back into it. With that, the monthly charges are back on for the 1st, and I thought I'd update you guys on the schedule for September. I still have vacation brain, so I will have to figure out the schedule f...

Hey everyone!
This is, unfortunately, not an announcement of a surprise chapter in the middle of the summer break, but perhaps something even better?
Book 6 of Defiance of the Fall is now out on Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, and as an Audiobook over at Audible. As always, proofed, edited,...

Zac wanted to roll his eyes at Ogras and ask him what the worst that could happen was, but he reined himself in. He knew his track record wasn't the best in this regard, and it felt a bit foolhardy to tempt the Heaven...

The meeting had gone on for over five hours, and people had started to get distracted. However, Zac's somber words and serious face were like a cold shower, waking everyone right up. For over ten seconds, no one said anything until Ilvere suddenly released a pent-up sigh.
"Risk everything? ...

Zac opened his eyes as his alarm buzzed, and he took a deep breath from the dense lifegiving mist. Six days had passed since he secluded himself, most of which had been spent in the depths of death, where he repaired his broken pathways. He had also bathed in refreshing concoctions designed to he...

The tranquility of the secluded courtyard was broken as Zac and Ogras stepped through the teleportation array, arriving in Zac’s private compound. Looking down at his hands, Zac still barely felt what he’d been through was real. But the quest remained, proving that the visions, the Left Imper...

Space twisted, but the confusing blur was nothing to the confusion already raging in Zac's mind. Emperor Limitless' name was Laondio Evrodok and not Karz? It completely threw a lot of Zac's theories out the window.
Not only that, but Laondio was even a name he knew. Laondio was the talented...

Zac woke up with a start, and the slight movement unleashed a chain-reaction of agony that rippled throughout his body. A blurry scene of destruction met his gaze, but there were no threats as far as he could see. It was lucky, as well. Just keeping his eyelids open was a struggle. Another fight ...

Even when finding himself pushed to the limits, Zac had held back his last and most powerful aces. He had wanted to save them until Ogras finished his side of the mission, to give himself something to fall back on in case the Qriz'Ul King went berserk. Now, he found himself without better options...

Zac couldn’t tell whether a million voices were clamoring in his head or one, but the force in voice alone was enough to give Zac’s soul a jolt. He didn’t know what the voice meant by ‘empty’, but the real problem was the source. A supersized Qriz’Ul was targeting his spatial bomb, po...

The silence around the corrupted lake was absolute, with not one of the cultivators moving. But while the scene looked tranquil on the surface, it was anything but. The lake released powerful waves of dirty energy, creating an invisible storm on its surface that spread out along the crater’s sl...

Zac regretted the words the moment he uttered them, but flames were already gathering around Iz. Not only that, but she was obviously excited at the prospect of getting punched.
“I’m ready,” Iz nodded.
