Terry frowned down the tunnel where he thought he might be hearing some scuttling noises. Then again, it could just be his imagination. Giant cockroaches were probably going to be haunting his subconscious and nightmares for a while. They were just so goddamned creepy. No, he thought.
Yes, the publication day for Volume 7 of Unintended Cultivator is almost upon us. It's dropping on Amazon and Audible (fingers crossed) in about 9 days on November 11.

Okay, volume 7 of Unintended Cultivator is going to drop on Amazon in about nine or ten days, which means that its ARC time for the higher tiers. This is usually where I write some filler content to make sure that the link doesn't show up in a preview screen. Behold the filler! All hail the fille...
2025-11-02 17:29:35 +0000 UTC View Post“Oh, my gods, these things are so gross!” shouted Kelima.
“Less chatting and more killing!” bellowed Terry, as he punted a cockroach the size of a great dane into a nearby wall.
Watching the vile thing explode into a gooey mass of shattered chitin was almost enough to make him...
2025-11-02 17:23:24 +0000 UTC View PostSen gave his master a wry smile and said, “The last time we did this, you made me go out looking for the things I needed.”
Master Feng broke out in a very amused smile.
“So, I did, and with good reasons. You shouldn’t expect things to be easy.”
“You didn’t even use...
2025-10-31 23:22:14 +0000 UTC View Post“Here,” said Master Feng, handing Sen two items.
One of the items was the original manual for The Celestial Form body cultivation method. The other was a plain scroll with, Sen assumed, the translation he’d asked Master Feng to make. It had almost felt like cheating to ask the elder c...
2025-10-31 15:22:49 +0000 UTC View PostI know it's a common refrain lately, but a massive weather front moved in and kicked off a migraine yesterday morning that still hasn't gone away. I took several doses of my migraine prescription. So, the migraine is better enough that I can stumble my way through writing, but I'm less object...
2025-10-30 14:21:06 +0000 UTC View PostStanding up and stowing the canteen in his pack next to a once again napping Dusk, Terry stretched, rolled his neck, and yawned.
“Okay,” he said, “let’s go fight a boss goblin.”
“Did you really just yawn?”
“Yeah. Why? I’m already bored with this whole dungeon e...
2025-10-29 00:48:57 +0000 UTC View PostZhou Yinuo stared at the wall. That was all there was to do in the room where those damnable soldiers had put her. They had ordered the castle servants to empty out everything else. The only dignity her guards had allowed her was the chair she was sitting in. She wanted to seethe, but every time ...
2025-10-28 22:19:27 +0000 UTC View PostA migraine swooped in and knocked me on my ass yesterday, but fear not! Here is the chapter I would have posted yesterday. Another will be forthcoming later today. Enjoy! ~Eric

2025-10-28 15:06:01 +0000 UTC View PostSo, rather than keeping you guys perpetually locked into a state of uncertainty about what I'm working on and when, I figured I'd try out something that might or might not become a regular staple of this page. The Weekly Update.
So, here's what's going on at the moment. A lesson I need to ...
2025-10-27 11:11:01 +0000 UTC View Post“You are not more awesome than me,” said Kelima.
“Of course, I am. I’m unleaded.”
“I— What?”
“Unleaded is clearly superior. There’s no arguing about it.”
Kelima’s eyes narrowed, and she asked, “You’re making some reference to your old world that...
2025-10-27 08:05:27 +0000 UTC View Post“I wasn’t going to—” Kelima started, but a stern look from Terry shut that down.
Yet, the noble girl was saved from additional chastisement by Dusk. The kitten, who had slept through the wild run through the forest, dropping into an ominous hole, being teleported, and Terry killing ...
2025-10-27 06:03:21 +0000 UTC View PostAs Terry dropped through the air like a rock, something happened. It was something so horrible, so unspeakable, so frustrating that words could not contain it. The air pressure ripped his hat loose and pulled it out of reach before he could snatch it. By itself, this wasn’t a matter for concern...
2025-10-26 11:32:05 +0000 UTC View PostSo, when I'm not working hard on other things, I've been writing this a few hundred words at a time to get it out of my brain. I think there's enough here now for people to get a feel for what I'm doing. Let me know what you think...or not...lol. Nobody is waiting for this. It's not under con...
2025-10-25 10:48:58 +0000 UTC View PostThe nobles remained silent for several long seconds. Their expressions weren’t quite horrified, but they were nowhere near to happy. He supposed that was to be expected. He had dashed any hope that any of them had of taking control or even mounting an attempt to reclaim their land. Nor did he t...
2025-10-24 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe nobles, who had been shifting uncomfortably, all froze in place. Sen could actually hear their hearts start beating even faster than the already rapid pace they had when he entered the room. He wasn’t even trying to intimidate them. They’d simply worked themselves up so much that anything...
2025-10-23 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostSen took his time getting changed into the ornate robes he’d worn when entering the city. Misty Peak called them his imperial garb. He just thought of them as not especially comfortable. Not that anything was truly uncomfortable anymore, but they didn’t move as cleanly as his usual r...
2025-10-22 20:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a nightmare. He knew that. A man could only have the same terrible dream so many times before he recognized it for what it was. Not that it helped at all. Despite bending every last bit of his willpower on making this thing that was half memory and all nightmare, it always played out the s...
2025-10-21 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostSo, yeah, my sleep schedule is a hot mess right now. Thanks, migraines! But, much like the spice in Frank Herbert's Dune, the chapters must flow. Even if it happens at 3:30 in the morning. Enjoy! ~Eric

2025-10-18 09:43:36 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I got another migraine today. Good times, as always. The change of seasons can be hard on me sometimes. But I said there would be chapters and didn't want to leave everyone completely high and dry on that account. So, here's a chapter. I'll take a swing at writing one more and see what ha...
2025-10-18 05:47:03 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, sorry for the miss. A fresh migraine mixed with already screw sleep schedule ganged up on me and threw the universe out of balance. Here's the chapter that you should have gotten Wednesday. There will be two more chapters later today, which should get us back on track. There might be so...
2025-10-17 08:53:05 +0000 UTC View PostBefore anyone asks, yes. Yes, these recent chapters exist entirely because Falling Leaf has barely gotten any screen time in the last few volumes. Not having these little exchanges between them is one of the biggest downsides of the recent arc(s). Also, I really love writing those exchanges. ...
2025-10-15 06:41:40 +0000 UTC View PostI was right. If I'd try to do this all in one chapter, it would have been close to 4000 words. Anyway, here's the second part. Enjoy! ~Eric

2025-10-13 22:28:13 +0000 UTC View PostHey, everybody. Sorry about the miss on Friday. Migraine got me. Then, when I went to write this yesterday, my brain was more tired than I thought. I got about 1000 words before I realized I was out of good words for the day. Today, I thought to myself: "Self, you gotta finish that chapter an...
2025-10-12 20:28:53 +0000 UTC View PostAs Sen flew them over the wilds, he couldn’t help but stare a little at the trees. They were different from the trees where he grew up if no less dense. Despite having seen them for a while now, he hadn’t taken the time to really study them. There were more fruit trees than he was used to see...
2025-10-10 00:12:04 +0000 UTC View PostSen spent the next few days going through a now familiar and excruciatingly tedious routine. It mostly involved him sitting there, listening to people speak their vows to the heavens, and waiting to see if the heavens accepted. It was a task he would have joyously handed over to literally anyone ...
2025-10-09 08:24:50 +0000 UTC View PostIt took a bit of effort and more time than I'd like to find the groove for this one, but I think I think I got there in the end. Enjoy! ~Eric
