Chapter 10 - This needs cleaned, and added to but let me know what you think.

“Welcome to the faction?” Enora’s voice sounded the same as before, but in perfect English, and a slight accent that sounded vaguely…Australian? Or not quite, maybe Australian and England mixed?

“I don’t feel very welcome.”

Seriously? I’d say all things considered we w...

Chapter 9 - Chapter will be longer from this point on, I just wanted to get this out there.

There wasn’t much organizing to do. We had our best and highest-level fighters in the front, everyone with unevolved classes would lag.

“Are we ready?” I still didn’t like the idea of attacking them. I drew out Tranquility. She was already glowing blue. Not because they attacked us,...

Chapter 8 - Thank you to everyone who stuck around. The plan moving forward is to get back to 15 chapters ahead. And I am writing a lot more now.

I’d seen negotiations like this in movies. Two armies ready to launch into action at the smallest provocation–leaders puffing out their chests to indicate their confidence. Ellison was a natural.

He appeared built for these exact moments. His white cotton shirt was clean and pressed, le...

Until I have a regular release schedule again all chapters will now be 3$. This change will stay in effect indefinitely and I will give updates periodically.

Chapter 7 - What do you think is about to happen? Also is there anything else that people would like from Patreon? I want to do something special for my first 250 members. Any ideas? Thank you all so much for the incredible support and I hope you are still enjoying the chapters.

“I’d feel much better if Mischief was here.” 

The raid was fast approaching, we had everyone gathered together near the clearing where we knew it would appear. Jared normally didn’t bother himself with raids but this one was expected to be different. 

“He’s got h...

Chapter 6 - I'm a freaking stealth Archer

Mischief lounged casually on a rock next to a small cliff face. 

Below and around him, the mana-twisted cats were restless. Some played in the trees, some prowled about, while others lounged. 

More than once over the last five days, Mischief wondered if he had made a terribl...

Chapter 5

One last night before the next raid was scheduled. 

My day was spent wandering from place to place checking in on our faction. Jessica was close to harvesting her first crop yield. They were also in the process of building several more houses near the fields. Three large families had c...

Book 2 - Chapter 3

I stood and stretched my back, grateful to be done with the long planning meeting. 

It’s not that I didn’t enjoy the meetings—I liked seeing how our faction was growing. It was satisfying to see how far we had come from our humble beginnings when it was just Mischief and myself.&...

Book 2 - Chapter 2

Five days since Tom was memorialized. Faction Layton Mischief had its first ideal. 

Ellison, Jared, Durkil, Alex, me and several others crowded into Damon's forge. Large bodies made the space feel cramped, the scent of Iron, sweat and wood hung stale in the air. 

Racks of ar...

Chapter 1 - New Boise.

Martin sat hunched over a small desk just outside the bedroom he shared with Claire. He had never been much for extravagant things and this little home suited him for now. 

Up until a few days ago Martin and Claire were still living in their pre-induction home. That was before the refu...

Epilogues

Epilogue one: Zortana and Stacy

Stacy rested her hands against a large pine tree and peered around it. She watched her target pull the dead man's body from the large spear. 

“Well that was really close. We almost got him.” Stacy said in a sweet flowery voice.

“Close!?...

Thank you!

I wanted to take the time to let all of you who support me on Patreon why things have been a bit slower. As of Sunday I am officially being published Aethon Books!

It still doesn't feel real yet.

I am extremely thankful for all of your incredible support and I work as hard as I can, ...

Chapter 86 - The end of book one. We move to epilogues and then straight into book 2

I could sense Alex at my side. He was speaking to me. I couldn’t hear them through the ringing  in my ears. 

My health had to be near the bottom. But I wasn’t thinking about my health anymore. The only thing that I could manage to think about was how unfair this world was.&nbs...

Ch 85 - Thank you for all the support and patience. I am working hard to catch up.

The ground shook as the Cyclops thundered closer. I didn’t even have the strength to stand and face them. 

I wondered what death was going to feel like. Quick–I hoped. Then again, it had already been pretty damn painful up to this point. 

It was a strange feeling to acce...

Ch 84 - I haven't cleaned this up yet.

In the months this world had changed violence and death had become familiar to me. Part of me felt a thrill as the wind buffeted my robe as my stat enhanced legs pumped against the rough earth. 

Another part of me fought back at that thrill, that part of me was just a whisper now thoug...

Ch 83 - I appreciate everyone's patience. I started a new job and I feel like I am drowning. I hope this weekend I can get caught up on the 15 chapters. Forgive me!

The cyclops attack had happened in a split second. As quick as it was, I had seen it coming. 

I dropped low and let the spear zip past. The attack confused me. It seemed like a huge gamble. It was just me and the Cyclops–the rest of his army was still a good bit away and now the cycl...

Ch 82 - Were getting close to the end of book 1

The streets were a beehive of frantic movement. Everyone scrambled to either hide or force their way towards the portals. 

It was too slow to just push my way through. People were being killed–I didn't have time for this. Three months ago I had made a rule. Keep your feet firmly on t...

Ch 81 - I really appreciate the feedback so let me know what you think!

The head rolled away and Jordan’s body fell forward into the mud. 

[Level up]

For what felt like an eternity the world stood still. The only thing that felt real to me was the hilt of my sword as it rested in my hand. 

For some reason, it was impossible for me to pul...

Ch 80 - It's a short one

Children?

My hands began to shake. Jordan had proven himself a failure—a narcissist, a liar, a murderer. The worst kind of man.

But this?

“Children?” 

The words tumbled out, husky barely a whisper.  I didn’t want to believe it. 

Ch 79 (I really hope you guys like this one)

With the Goblins handled Jordans faction began the clean-up and looting. My contributions had been small and Ellison’s had been nothing so when we both were awarded 100 UBC’s it felt like a win still. 

Jordan approached at an eager jog, flashing a grin as he looked over his people�...

Ch 78

The militia was all in place, Jordan at the head as usual. He found true joy in the slaughter. Tom was still unsure how he was supposed to complete his task.

Both Jordan and Tom were over level 25 and had learned about evolved classes. There were several others in the militia who would prob...

Ch 77

I stood waiting with around 200 others. Tranquility remained safely in my storage. In just a few minutes the portal would open and we would face the raid. 

As far as Jordan knew, I was just a high level healer. He knew I would be able to cast my dome shield for...
