I rose slowly, getting a better look at the goblins. They were turned to face away from me about forty feet away where they'd stopped earlier. This was probably lucky for me since I didn’t need to move far to engage them. More importantly, they still hadn’t spotted me.
I got this art from a kickstarter I pledged to--Aethon's drinking RPG card game.
New chapters of Sponsored Apocalypse will be up tomorrow. :)
I didn’t know exactly where I was as I lay down in the undergrowth of the dark forest, trying to catch my breath and get my bearings. My earlier sprint had actually let me cover a lot of ground. That’s right, I thought. My stats rose.

2022-12-01 05:17:40 +0000 UTC View PostSome weird noises outside were a little concerning, but I ignored them. I was just a dude with a 4 in Agility in and empty house with no weapons at the moment. Freaking out was not going to help me, so instead, I poured all my focus into the hoving screens.
The “special” ski...
2022-12-01 04:51:26 +0000 UTC View Post“First I have a question,”I said.
“Speak.”
“Who the hell are you?” I asked. The man’s clothing was too substantial, too…real…to be cosplay. He also had a certain aura that reminded me of powerful people, confident people.
My hand went to my pocket, ...
2022-12-01 04:20:24 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a new series in the Apocalypse Cultivation universe. :) Just like Apocalypse Cultivation, it'll be at least 4 books long.

What would you do if you knew the world was going to end?
For me, the answer was to prepare as best I...
2022-12-01 03:06:44 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks!
I wrote a little bit of a new fiction a while ago, and I liked the idea so much that I floated it out in the ether and got a publishing deal for it.
So I've been working on Sponsored Apocalypse this month.
All the back end work is done, so I've been cranking out ch...
It's out there, everyone!
I'm nervous as hell (currently fighting it).
Hey all! A few things.
1. Savage Webs (Apocalypse Cultivation 2) comes out on the 19th. I'll still be posting links and such then but you can actually preorder it right now if you'd like.
2. I will be taking chapters to Apocalypse Cultivation 2, Savage Webs down tomorrow...
This one is not done yet. It's still in rough draft form and the typography isn't what will be on the final book at all.
Coming out nice, though!
Jake was not sure how long he drifted in the dark, bloody water. If he hadn’t met the soul-chewing revenant in the Dead City already to have experienced new worlds of agony, it would have been the most painful experience of his life.
And through the entire ordeal, he had to keep cul...
2022-10-04 13:06:06 +0000 UTC View PostFantasma led Jake to another alley that he wouldn’t have been able to find on his own in 1500 years. Its existence was well camouflaged to begin with, and she did something with hand to open a hidden door in the wall.
Once they were through, the alley was clean and seemed somehow le...
2022-10-04 13:04:29 +0000 UTC View PostJake woke up and nothing around him had really changed, which was surprising. He really should have died while he was defenseless on the ground.
The Dead City was cold, uninviting, dangerous, alien…but he was still alive to be oppressed by it. His soul was still intact, too. &...
2022-10-04 13:03:13 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, a few things about this chapter. This is not the end of the book but we are getting close. :)
First, some of you might remember some parts of this plot art from a dream I had like 3 years ago. Yes, I wrote this book to include that. If you remember the dream, you mi...
Six renown points, thought Jake.
He kept thinking of ways to avoid spending the points. Nothing and nobody was forcing him to enter a dangerous, dead city. He could just walk away, maybe even use the Reward System to get some sort of invisibility or fast travel.
B...
2022-10-02 08:23:42 +0000 UTC View PostOver the next few days of travel, Jake was still glad to be out of the Web Burrows but his overall mood grew more somber.
The Murim World was huge and dangerous as hell. This was made extremely obvious through a few close calls and just observing the world around them.
Jake need...
2022-10-02 08:22:45 +0000 UTC View Post“Is this far enough to talk?” asked Jake.
“I have no idea, boss. But we’ve been walking for two days straight, so if not, I doubt another day will matter.”
“Good point.”
The two of them had suddenly found themselves in an empty, arid place after making their...
2022-10-02 08:21:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe three of them walked unopposed toward the mysterious double doors to the forbidden, private area. On the way, Jake reflected on the fact his escape plan had gone to hell. The Clay Bat might still be able to teleport, but he wasn’t sure if Bartok was completely healed yet after g...
2022-10-02 08:20:33 +0000 UTC View PostOnce Jake was outside the challenge portal, his hackles rose immediately. He shouldn’t have been gone from the Web Burrows for very long at all, but he remembered in a flash how he’d felt weird about the vast caverns he’d unearthed.
And the worst, most deadly demon beasts in the...
2022-09-26 00:41:32 +0000 UTC View PostAfter stepping through this portal, he didn’t lose consciousness like the last time, but Jake didn’t also didn’t experience an endless moment like he had with Conophta’s portal. Instead, it was like no time had passed when he suddenly found himself in the Morrigan’s garden.

2022-09-26 00:40:27 +0000 UTC View PostJake called up his interface from the Mini Map, enhanced. He’d checked it before, while restrained and being pulled to this place, but sure enough it was still working perfectly.
The weird chaos of this planet and its many illusions might be able to confuse even som...
2022-09-26 00:39:40 +0000 UTC View PostI just realized that I called the last chapter part of, "Jake's Story 2," and I'm gonna leave it. lol

When Jake woke up, his first thought was how happy he was that he was still alive. His second thought was that maybe it’d be better if he were dead. Eve...
Alright, Plan A and Plan B are a bust. Time for Plan C.
Canophta’s heavy footsteps echoed on the marble floor, returning from wherever he’d gone to. Jake’s original plan had been to escape his restraints, hide by the entry to the hallway the minotaur had gone down...
2022-09-26 00:37:25 +0000 UTC View PostOkay this is it for the uploads tonight. :)
I'm working my ass off trying to get this book done this week.

Jake didn’t exactly lose consciousness, his mind just couldn’t properly comprehend what was happening. He instinctively knew that time,...
Jake panted as he hid behind a looted Taco Bell. He grimly tightened the bandages he’d place above and on his wound. Even spinning his cultivation base and using every trick he had to avoid acknowledging pain, it hurt like hell.
He’d kill a few more raiders while escaping. &...
2022-09-21 23:47:59 +0000 UTC View Post“Night just never fucking ends,” Jake muttered to himself. Bartok winged through the sky, following the road back in the direction Jake had come before. He’d been pretty sure he’d known where the kidnappers had gone, but once he was up in the air he’d been able to immediatel...
2022-09-21 23:47:15 +0000 UTC View PostJake was in an incredibly bad mood when he rode the clay bat back to the schools. The fact the boombox was playing “Dance Monkey” now, and he hated that song, was not helping matters. He didn’t bother turning the boom box off, though. It felt appropriate to be blasting mus...
2022-09-21 23:46:22 +0000 UTC View PostHoly shit this fucking thing is fast, thought Jake. He was strong as hell, too. In general, Jake’s opponent was stronger, faster, and tougher that he was. His magic was incredibly strong. Every weapon the minotaur swung seemed to have some sort of magical effect...
2022-09-21 23:45:25 +0000 UTC View PostI'm going to be posting more chapters later today. :)

Jake was feeling a bit of euphoria. The last time he’d been on earth, things had been a lot different. Almost all of his memories after being reincarnated had revolved around being shot, beat up, or near d...
