Only one chapter this week, but I think it's a good one.
I actually wrote three chapters this week, but A) I think it's a better reading experience to have this one be the last chapter of a week and B) I think I'm going to start releasing chapters slower than I write them.
This will g...

I hope everyone enjoys the chapters!

2022-09-18 12:54:18 +0000 UTC View PostI wrote two chapters worth this week, but it was two half chapters and one full chapter, so sadly you are only getting one new chapter and a half chapter of text added into the previous content of chapter 185. (Sorry about that, but I thought it necessary to highlight the threat before Mila...
2022-09-11 15:43:43 +0000 UTC View PostTwo chapters of Shadow of the Soul King this week. I hope you all enjoy!
Also, far more fun, this week I've added the image generation software Midjourney Bot to the discord server. Please go over and check it out. Any pictures relevant to the story that are particularly good will be added ...
2022-09-04 13:54:18 +0000 UTC View PostOnly one chapter of Shadow of the Soul King this week.
While I did know from the start how I wanted this chapter to go, emotional chapters like this are far more difficult to write.
I hope I did a good job.
Thanks,
Thirteen Life Legion
2022-08-28 14:29:34 +0000 UTC View PostTwo chapters of Shadow of the Soul King this week. And next week we finally get another good emotionally charged chapter from Isaiah's POV.
As for To Kill a Fox and Eat God, I'm finding it more difficult than I thought to context switch between the stories I'm writing. But, honestly, the bi...
2022-08-21 19:33:43 +0000 UTC View PostSo, two chapters of Shadow of the Soul King this week. Please enjoy Mila doing Mila type social manipulation.
I've had a pretty bad cold this week, ruining my sleep, but I did manage to write 2.5 chapters, and that is probably what the average is going to be at least in the near future. Nex...
2022-08-14 15:16:53 +0000 UTC View PostI started my job this week, ran my first ever D&D session, and got a bit sick, so, sadly, this week there is only one new chapter of Shadow of the Soul King.
I did figure out a good writing schedule for the future though, so I'm guessing we'll be averaging around 2-3 chapters in the nea...
2022-08-07 14:05:05 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I wrote six chapters of Shadow of the Soul King this week, and there was also the extra chapter from last week which I wrote out of order, for a total seven chapters for everyone to enjoy.
We have now officially started the climax of this arc and I at least am excited.
I hope ever...
2022-07-31 17:03:09 +0000 UTC View PostFirst, four new chapters of Shadow of the Soul King this week and I will likely be posting the first chapter of a book I won't be writing for years sometime today or tomorrow, as that first chapter has my favorite opening and closing lines that I've ever written.
Also, I updated the numberi...
2022-07-24 15:42:43 +0000 UTC View PostThree new chapters of Shadow of the Soul King this week along with one new chapter of On How to Kill a Fox and Eat God.
This week has been very fun. Last Sunday, when I was worrying about getting new readers, ScribbleHub put Shadow of the Soul King on their home page and we got the most new...
2022-07-17 18:46:48 +0000 UTC View PostSo, only two chapters this week. Sorry.
I'd been holding out hope RoyalRoad might let me back on if I asked again after a month, but they didn't, giving me the same stock answer they have this entire time. So, I asked them to remove my story so they would stop profiting from my work and the...
2022-07-10 17:46:07 +0000 UTC View PostSo, due to my work in figuring out everyone's new powers I was able to post 6 chapters this week! Yay!
Also, I will again be responding to anyone's questions on the discord between 8 pm Eastern Standard time and 8:30. I hope to see more of you there!
Thank you everyone for your suppor...
2022-07-03 14:38:12 +0000 UTC View PostSo, after dealing with everything this week, I think I still want to try doing this full time.
I'm just having way too much fun writing and it is so much fun deliberately not worrying about ratings and the like beyond my communication with my readers.
I will, however, diversify where ...
2022-06-26 20:55:17 +0000 UTC View PostSo this week I was thinking a lot about marketing, in my opinion the worst part of being a writer.
As a reader, before I became a writer, I was never one to comment or leave ratings and reviews. But, after becoming an author, I've realized how much they can make or break a work.
While...
2022-06-19 19:05:02 +0000 UTC View PostI had planned not to write anything this week, but that didn't happen as I seem to enjoy writing too much. As a result, you are getting three new chapters this week for free. Yay!
As for how I'm doing, well, ups and downs. I went on vacation with my extended family and it was good I had the...
2022-06-12 18:48:36 +0000 UTC View PostSo, this week started terrible and then got a lot worse.
First, I realized the cold I got last week was actually Covid. Then it was 90+ degrees out (I am American. I just use meters in my story because I studied physics.) so I was trapped in my new apartment by myself for days.
Then, ...
2022-06-05 13:23:07 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I have been moving and then I got sick, so you might notice most of the chapters this week are on the shorter end, several quite close to the minimum word count I allow myself.
I still think they are pretty good though, and I'm enjoying what I have planned for this next arc, so I ...

“Well, this is interesting?” Nana Xara sent as Mila stepped through the portal to the Violet Mountain Blessed land. “This blessed land isn’t a natural wonder at all.”

Aalam was enjoying his new skills. Psyforce Construction (F-Epic), Mana Construction (F-Epic), and Qi Construction (F-Epic) all allowed him to use the given resource to mold a material into the shape of his desire. Psyforce Material Cleansing (F-Epic), Mana Material Cleansing (F-Epic)...

Dodging the claws of the horse-sized furred scorpion beast by a margin way too close for comfort, Mila sliced a small gash in the monster’s flank with her spear and then dodged backwards, avoiding the monster’s tail. Then, as the monster turned to face her, she flash stepped to the...

Mila had been quite lucky when it came to taking over the identity of Sarra Lin’Talic, one of 1,598 different female descendants of Epecteos older than 17 and under the age of 30.
First, the woman had been training up to be a lawyer, so, if she had managed to advance to F rank,...

“So, is there anyone promising in this backwater?” The emissary from the Hewin Kingdom asked as Bothil brought drinks for him and the Violet Mountain Sect’s recruiter, making sure to bow the entire time.
“Yes, Lord. Mr. Epecteos has recently taken an apprentice, a desce...
2022-05-29 20:19:36 +0000 UTC View PostThis week has been one of interesting and enlightening ups and downs.
On Tuesday, nineteen of you joined my patreon, the highest amount in a day I've ever had. And it was so exciting. Chapter 117 I think is one of the best chapters I've written and it was awesome to see how much people were...
2022-05-22 20:34:57 +0000 UTC View PostAalam
Watching Epecteos yet again dismantle the combined assault of both Isaiah, Diana, and Dioscuri at the same time, Aalam pondered if he should have gone with a combat class. Sure, the Laws he liked were much more suited for crafting than combat, and, sure, when he’d tried to copy Isai...
2022-05-22 20:01:14 +0000 UTC View PostMila
Watching Epecteos’s aura when he was looking at Aalam, Isaiah, and her without her disguise skill for the first time was quite entertaining, but seeing how fast he could move when Nana Xara was telling her it was obviously not his max speed really put into perspective how weak they w...

Arriving on the home world of the young woman he now knew was named Mila, Epecteos almost immediately noticed three things. First, as Mila had promised, the world was E rank and had started its integration less than 2 years before. This meant, for the next 70 years, the ease of acq...

Mila took a second to think before deciding the Violet Mountain Sect was going to be her target. “Is anyone able to watch us right now?”
“No. There’s a privacy formation that’s active and, though Bothil is spying on me for the Hewin Kingdom, he knows not to...

2022-05-22 19:53:32 +0000 UTC View PostSo, there were two main interesting things that happened with writing this week.
First, I've finally introduced a character I've been thinking about for a while, Epecteos. I hope you all will enjoy having a mentor character who I actually feel comfortable giving a POV.
And everyone sh...
