Ch. 101 - Dead or Alive
As Lucas staggered from the wreckage and through the smokey haze, he almost ruined his whole escape plan by running into someone. He’d been so busy using his very limited level of focus to watch where he stepped so he didn’t leave behind footprin...

From his view of the glowing orb high above the world, Jordan saw many things. He saw places he’d never dreamed of and faraway cultures he’d never even heard of before. There were too many to list, though the ones that worshiped the moon...

Tenebroum had no idea where Krulm’venor got off to. That annoyed it, and not just because that vile godling could have helped with pest control once it started boring deeper into the earth. It was also that the Lich hated the idea that the arroga...
2024-12-16 14:58:01 +0000 UTC View PostWell, enjoy your last update up two chapters a week, because next week, we ramp things up.
Ch. 187 - Hell of a View
Rock climbing was not something that Simon had spent a lot of time doing in any life, but as he got closer to the peak, he spent more and more time doi...

Ch. 177 - Silent Study
Simon spent days looking through the Tome of Bahgmorrda, making notes and scribbling over them or crumpling them up and throwing them away, but that wa...
2024-12-16 14:56:00 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 99 - A Walk to Remember (part 2)
Lucas backed slowly away from the ugly pair, dragging Danaria with him. The two hobgoblins followed him, snarling and spreading out as they went. One only had its claws, and the other had a blade that was rusted and broken. Neither had h...

The shadows came roaring down the tunnel with every bit of the force that the water once had; Tenebroum gloried in them, at least at first. It let the tide of darkness wash across and rejuvenate its threadbare form.
The leading edge of that ti...
2024-12-09 14:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 198 - Another Problem
Despite the fact that the act of will had left Jordan completely drained, it had been worth it to beat the Lich back. He didn’t know what that monster was up to, but he knew that if it tried again in the next night or two, he would not be able to...
2024-12-09 14:58:01 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 185 - Teach a Man to Fish
Over the next few days, Simon turned his dejected farmers into something closer to fighting men. Their abilities were entirely inferior to the fighting force he’d built to fight the centaurs, but so too was his opponent, which was good becaus...
2024-12-09 14:57:02 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 175 - A Feast for Paupers
As the day drew closer, Simon did all of the rites that had been mentioned for the fictitious Silent Saint, no matter how trivial. These were carried out as faithfully as the text allowed, even though he wasn’t sure that anyone was actu...

Hello everyone. A few quick updates. First, on the Tenebroum front, book 2 drops on Amazon today, and the Lich finally gets its crown! 2024-12-05 14:04:09 +0000 UTC View Post
Ch. 97 - The Grind
For the next two days, Lucas did very little which didn’t involve cooking up blue. He went upstairs every few hours for more barrels or vials at first, but eventually, Hura’gh figured out the intervals and just brought them downstairs into the laborat...
2024-12-02 15:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 206 - A Return to Normalcy
Leo’s return to Wayward was as uproarious as he feared. The entire village, which mostly consisted of people he didn’t know at this point, stopped everything they were doing to celebrate his return. It was exactly the opposite of what he w...
2024-12-02 14:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 183 - Something To Do
This time it wasn’t a question of where he wanted to spend his time, it was a matter of how he wanted to spend this life, and Simon spent several days considering that question. At this point his lives were stretching for decades rather than endi...
2024-12-02 14:57:00 +0000 UTC View PostOne small announcement. I have made a new tier for DaD, as I said I was going to, so for those of you that would like another 10 chapters of Simon for $2, that's on the table. This brings the Devoted Reader tier back up to 50 chapters ahead, across all stories, which is where it's meant to be. 2024-12-02 14:56:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Alright, as promised, the new tier is now avail
2024-11-27 18:20:43 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 95 - Setting Things Right
Lucas was fuming at the thought of whatever it was Adin was up to. That wasn’t the real reason, though, and he knew it. It was just an excuse. The words of the Prince rang in his ear as he took the stairs two at a time once he got back inside...
2024-11-25 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 171 - Not this Run
Simon spent most of that afternoon beating himself up. It wasn’t even about the sword after a while. It was about being fat, the way he’d left things with Elthena, the mystery of his evil twin, starting over again in the Pit, and even the fact tha...
2024-11-25 14:57:01 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 93 - The Basics
Lucas spent the next few days learning the ins and outs of his system. Whenever he wasn’t mixing potions and searching through reagents with Heisenburgle, he researched this strange topic. Every afternoon, he would haunt the libraries, looking through ...
2024-11-18 15:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostI know I promised an updated 20+ tier. I'm still working on that. My publisher moved up some editing deadlines on me, so I'm currently 14 chapters ahead on Death After Death, and want to be 20 chapters ahead (because as soon as I launch that tier, I will instantly reduce that buffer by 10.) So, ...
2024-11-18 14:57:01 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 91 - Aqua Vitalis
After he popped that potion, every point that Lucas made was repeated at least once over the next few hours as Heisenburgle peppered him with questions. What was her expression? What was her tone? How long was the pause? The gnome seemed to be ob...
2024-11-11 15:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 167 - Down on Their Luck
Simon crawled into a chest, and as he crawled out of the other side, he realized that was exactly what he’d crawled out of as well. That was weird enough, but he was somewhat reassured to see that it wasn’t the same chest. That might have me...
2024-11-11 14:57:01 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 89 - A Great Admirer
Lucas had no idea why a dragon would want to meet him, but it wasn’t like he had much of a choice in the matter. He didn’t have long to prepare either because the words dragon, meet, and you were followed up with another terrifying word: tomorro...
2024-11-04 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 165 - Wasted Effort
Simon splashed down in the water, confident that he wouldn’t drown. He didn’t, either. The portal opened beneath him and spat him out almost immediately. Last time, it had reminded him, somewhat uncomfortably, of a flushing toilet, but this time,...
2024-11-04 14:57:01 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 87 - What the Actual Fuck
The silence of the gnome's words settled over them for several seconds before Lucas finally spoke. “I didn’t sign up to kill a fucking dragon.”
“Nor will you have to,” Heisenburgle said. “Probably. If we can—”
“Pro...
2024-10-28 14:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 163 - Whispered Words
There was confusion at first as the survivors tried to figure out what had happened. That gave Simon’s group an early lead of a dozen yards. However, after the survivors watched their brothers die around them, a cry of anger rang out, and soon th...
2024-10-28 13:57:00 +0000 UTC View PostWell, now that all the travel is behind me, and I've had a chance to visit my family for the first time in a long time, I am back. First and foremost, I am back to writing, which is good, because I burned a hell of a lot of backlog. I'm also making progress on the whole visa thing for Germany, so...
2024-10-21 14:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostWe're still technically 12 chapters ahead of the public, but I'm tired of posting 1 chapter a week. So, Brewing Bad is now twice a week from now on. Enjoy!

2024-10-21 14:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 161 - The Day After
The screams didn’t last long. At least, the ones begging to be let in didn’t. Their silence spoke volumes about the state of things happening outside the mine they’d sealed themselves up into, Simon. His heart went out to them, and in those dar...
2024-10-21 13:57:01 +0000 UTC View PostCh. 84 - A Long Night
Lucas spent several more hours with Heisenburgle, who was positively insufferable until Lucas pointed out that he was about to add dried treant blood to the potion he was working on instead of the pulverized rust caps as he’d intended. He ...
