The first half hour or so of running was a real struggle, but after that Luke's body came alive again and stopped fighting him at every step. Now with full control of Weaver's Eye, being out and about was no longer a painful struggle. Before, information about every minor and major injury and dis...
2025-09-22 18:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostA couple of days after the events with Relian inside the Department of Integrated Affairs, Luke began feeling somewhat like himself again. Several near-death experiences combined with family members and friends almost dying, and a whole lot of other people ending up dead, can do that to a person....
2025-09-19 18:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I hope you enjoyed the ending of book 1 of Lifeweaver. I really wanted to kill Relian but decided to have him stick around a while longer. It'll help Luke improve and get stronger in the long term, I think.
Chapter 1 of Book 2 is coming later today at the usual time. T...
2025-09-19 07:10:00 +0000 UTC View PostTwo threads of mana, both with Needle of Life affixed, cut into Relian as he stumbled from the previous attack. One cut into the physical body, missing the heart but nicking the aorta. The other struck at the metaphysical aspect of the Fallen Shepherd's being, slicing into the meta-heart.
R...
2025-09-18 18:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostEven with Relian using Ray's stealth to turn invisible, Luke knew he'd moved to the door where Curtis and Milla rushed in.
"Look out!" Luke shouted, but it was too late.
Relian emerged from stealth and put a hand on Milla's shoulder. Rather than just her arm coming free, like with Luk...
2025-09-17 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostAt that moment, after being smashed in the face, Relian dropped the act. He stood without a sound, showing an expression so unlike Ray's normal mix of mischievousness, repressed anger, and loneliness. There was no doubt this was a different person. Not that Luke ever doubted it. Even from a dista...
2025-09-16 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostLuke held his breath, waiting for Tim's reply. Judging by the frantic messages and the timestamp of the last text, his old classmate shouldn't take long.
"Finally! Why the hell haven't you answered me? And what the hell?! Why did you talk to my father? You're messing everything up!"
"...
2025-09-15 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostEven after getting into Milla's car, Luke sat glued to the phone screen. Right away, there were far too many notifications to take them all in. A lot had happened since Luke had entered the dungeon. The influencer woman texted to say she'd found a whole bunch of people for him to heal, then had p...
2025-09-12 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe massive fire spell from Delilah scared the Deep Dweller off, but not for long. As they closed in on the portal, the monster returned. Just as it had risen from Hannah's river of shadows, it now emerged from the very stone the large group ran across. Its tentacles reached for them and found ta...
2025-09-11 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post"Delilah, it's time," Luke said, squeezing her shoulder.
She nodded. "Here I go."
Her breathing steadied as she concentrated. A shimmering light rose from the scroll, enveloping the entire item before the light spread across Delilah's arm and to her heart and meta-heart. Luke was read...
2025-09-10 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostWith the concept of an idea of a plan in place, and with no time to lose, the larger group continued through the now deserted outpost. Parts of it still smoldered, and several houses were nothing but rubble. The emptiness was a little eerie, and the dark windows gaping open made Luke look over hi...
2025-09-09 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostLuke and Milla spent some time healing the injured. A lot of the Integrated who'd come to their aid were in rough shape from their assault on the dwarven town, and the most recent battle didn’t help in that regard. Once they were done, it was time to head back to the outpost inside the mountain...
2025-09-08 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHaving flung himself at the old mage, Luke wasn't about to squander the element of surprise and give up his edge. Several threads of mana entered his opponent’s mana channels as they both tumbled to the ground in a heap, rolling. As the threads dug deeper, heading for the old man's meta-heart, ...
2025-09-05 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“This will hurt,” Luke mumbled, since he didn’t have time to dampen the pain, and knew Curtis could take it. At least the healing was quick, only requiring stitching and destroying some stomach fluid that had leaked out.
The knight leader took a quick step forward and thrust. Curtis p...
2025-09-04 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostLuke held up an arm in front of Mateo's chest. "This time, we stay hidden until the others are done."
"I have a bad feeling about this," Milla said.
"You're not the only one," Luke said, nodding to Emma, Abraham, and Penny, gesturing for them to scale the trees again.
The four o...
2025-09-03 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe small group came to a stop by the treeline, and all of them peered between the trunks, trying to get an idea of what was happening on the field beyond.
"Not much in the way of terrain for my little turret here," Abraham said, scratching his chin before he looked up. "Maybe a tree ...
2025-09-02 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe dwarves were much faster running than Luke and Penny in their current state, so Luke resigned himself to another fight, turning to face them. This meant he got to witness Emma's bow skills firsthand.
A thick arrow, almost the girth of Luke's quarterstaff, struck one dwarf in the chest, ...
2025-09-01 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostLuke pointed to the building. It was large enough to rise over most of the others, and even from this distance, you could see a group of people on top of it, flinging spells down into the milling dwarves.
"This is going to be such a pain," Penny said.
The streets, short as they ...
2025-08-29 18:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostEven when walking fast and keeping his eyes over Hannah's shoulder, Luke couldn't help but notice the walls. It was a tight hallway, and thin strands of shadow slithered out, sometimes through the cracks, but often through the stone itself. With even more limited space to move, the tunnel became ...
2025-08-28 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostWhile Mateo squeezed the shaft of his spear, Luke stepped up next to Milla, remembering the rage in Curtis's eyes the last time they clashed.
Today, his expression reflected none of that. At least not at that moment.
"Nymh wanted me to escort Milla back to the party," Curtis said. "Ap...
2025-08-27 18:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey!
Just wanted to drop by and say I finished Book 1 today with chapter 96! Excited for you to read it once it’s out!
Taking a day off tomorrow then starting book 2 on Friday.
Take care,

2025-08-27 14:59:03 +0000 UTC View PostStanding on his head again after teleporting wasn't quite as embarrassing as the first time. Or it wouldn't have been, if it hadn't been filmed. Giggling like a maniac, Hannah handed over her phone to show the video.
"Ouch," he said, shaking his head. "Let's just delete that real quick." 2025-08-26 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post
Perhaps he shouldn't be surprised to see a different world through the doors at the end of the chamber, since the same thing had happened back in the pink dungeon, but it was still a bit jarring. Rather than the stone floor continuing, grass spread out and onward on the other side, with a clear b...
2025-08-25 18:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostUsing Weavestep, there was no sensation of movement. As soon as he activated the skill, Luke felt... something. It wasn't a physical sensation, but one connected to his Weaver's Eye, in a way, or perhaps Weaver's Grasp. Either way, it all happened too fast, and once he reappeared, he did feel qui...
2025-08-22 18:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Just wanted to check in and report that writing is going well. The current dungeon "arc" is getting a little longer than I first envisioned, but I'm enjoying it a lot.
I've settled into a pretty steady rhythm of writing two chapters per day and I've got enough banked cha...
2025-08-21 07:04:53 +0000 UTC View PostThis time, it was as if the consciousness somewhere far out there beyond even The Greater System knew he was looking back. Luke got a flash of amusement from it. Then his mana regeneration kicked in, and the weave of all things blended back into the surroundings and became invisible to his senses...
2025-08-20 18:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostSeveral large holes had torn Nate's chest open to the point that you could see the ground beneath him through the wounds. The paleness of his skin and blue tint to his lips, along with his closed eyes and stillness, were those of a corpse.
"Why isn't he getting better?" Luke asked, taking a...
2025-08-18 18:19:42 +0000 UTC View PostRushing forward, Luke used Threads of Mana, extending two threads. One reached a downed woman with blood spatter in her brown shoulder-length hair who didn't seem to have anything wrong with her other than a serious lack of mana. The second thread found someone Luke thought was injured, but it tu...
2025-08-15 19:26:58 +0000 UTC View PostNimh: "The foreleg, Curtis, foreleg, you stupid bastard!"
With one in their party down for the count, the rest of them rushed toward Curtis, hoping to help before the dragon attacked again. The monster pulled back a little, readying for another strike, but a barrage of ligh...
