Hi all.
I just learned tonight that Patreon, in its infinite wisdom, has made it where a chapter actually loses its collection status the moment I try to edit it. So... I've been taking chapters out of collections by editing them or changing tiers.
Frustrating. If you've seen this, ...
Okay everyone,
It's looking like it's going to take me the rest of the year, but I'll be officially starting work again on Delvers LLC 6 next month.
Also, I've already started commissioning some new artwork for the series. I've liked the idea of getting some traditional paintings d...
Several things went through Max's mind at once. Through multiple lives now, he'd always had the same feeling before fighting seriously. It was an acknowledgment of the fact he was making a decision, committing himself to see something through or die trying. In this case, the fight was not a...
2024-07-31 17:15:46 +0000 UTC View PostMax watched from a rooftop, waiting for the moment to act. The building below, which used to be a hotel, was now occupied by the Victory Guild.
One interesting thing about the post-apocalypse world was that lots of buildings that had previously been hotels had been converted into apar...
2024-07-31 12:36:53 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
I'm not done uploading everything today, but I wanted to make this note before I got more tired and loopy.
Up to Chapter 19 or 20 has just been posted of Sponsored Apocalypse 2 at the $10 tier. I am really focused on getting this book done, so oth...
Kevin woke up and stared at the sky for a moment. The clouds, unobscured by some sort of demonic stealth field, looked beautiful. He could tell he was still alive because everything hurt.
When he glanced down at himself, he could see some terrible injuries that were j...
2024-07-31 08:08:17 +0000 UTC View PostThe fight was not going well. Kevin sprang aside, barely dodging a gout of hellish flame that demolished the forest behind him. However, unlike the way Historia had fought with Lydia, the demon was not toying with him. He was deadly serious, aiming to kill.
So far, Kevin’s experience, his...
2024-07-31 08:06:28 +0000 UTC View PostKevin stared at Historia. He stayed absolutely still, and although the demon was standing casually, Kevin knew he could move incredibly quickly if he wanted. Luckily, Lydia was staying still, too. One of her clawed fingers was trembling slightly. Kevin wasn’t sure if it ...
2024-07-23 05:27:36 +0000 UTC View PostOn the second day of travel, Branch and Lydia somehow located a very old, unique monster. It definitely stood out from the others in the area. Lydia fussed at him when Kevin unsheathed his sword and told him to just stay put. He wanted the fighting practice, but reluctantly admitted that as long ...
2024-07-23 05:26:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe morning sun shone down upon the road and the surrounding trees, making Kevin feel very optimistic and grateful to be back in the outdoors again. Lydia walked next to him with mannerisms that others might not notice, but Kevin knew were telltale signs of a polymorphed dragon. While other trave...
2024-07-23 05:24:55 +0000 UTC View PostKevin got ready to leave for Alariel’s tower after the Mountain Fingers left his inn. “Are you sure you don’t want to come, Lydia?”
“No. Go ahead.”
“But…this is your last chance. You got her autograph and you could meet her any t...
2024-07-15 22:07:35 +0000 UTC View PostThis was the first time Kevin had moved at maximum speed since fighting the ruin guardian. And since he wasn’t distracted in the same way as before, he could fully appreciate for the first time how much his physical capabilities had improved.
As he dashed through the fore...
2024-07-15 22:06:52 +0000 UTC View Post“Try this,” said Kevin.
“Really? You eat these?”
“Don’t sleep on meat-on-a-stick. It’s one of my favorite things to eat in Clearmine.”
Lydia eyed him skeptically. “Truly?”
“I promise....
2024-07-15 22:05:49 +0000 UTC View Post“Lydia, could I get your help?”
His cousin was still sitting at the table were they’d eaten breakfast, but now she was sipping on something and reading a book. She looked up with a lazy expression that quickly turned to shock. “Wow! You really are differ...
2024-07-05 13:53:29 +0000 UTC View Post"I still don't understand how you did it," said Lydia. She stuffed a spoonful of eggs into her mouth with obvious irritation. Kevin smiled in return. Based on how his cousin had taken the news when he first showed her Alariel’s letter, he'd realized she wasn't that upset about not be...
2024-07-05 13:52:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Sorry I've slowed down on the chapter releases. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed lately, but everything will get better when I finish a another book or two. While I can manage writing several books at once, it's kind of exhausting.
Anyway, we should be back to a mor...
Kevin sat in a room of Alariel's tower that he'd never seen before. The mage herself sat across from him on a divan, her fingers steepled and a pensive expression on her face. Between them on a table was a sample of the potion that he'd made. Every once in a while, Alariel dipped her eyes down to...
2024-07-05 13:46:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe page he was writing in was almost full. Kevin looked at the new page of notes and made a face. He’d filled up quite a few now. Over the last two weeks, he had been studying even harder than before, and he had even used some of his own money to buy several books on Alchemy that he had ...
2024-07-01 21:58:22 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Kevin asked Alariel for an autograph, she didn't react to the request gracefully or act as if it was a regular occurrence, like he’d expected. Instead, she chuckled, and when Kevin asked what she found humorous, she simply shrugged. She didn't question why Kevin asked her to make the signa...
2024-07-01 21:57:29 +0000 UTC View PostTime passed quickly as Kevin suddenly found himself incredibly busy. His days were jam-packed with work and training.
Most days he would leave the inn that had become his de facto home in Clearmine, heading for Potent Potions. Now that he had his routine down, Addison...

Several days after Max's breakthrough, he found himself back at the Trifecta guild. This time, instead of going up the back way like he had before, he decided to enter through the lobby. It still wasn’t exactly the most prudent thing to do, but with his plans for the day, ...
Mana swirled in the air in a vortex, so thick that if anyone were watching, they would have seen sparks in the air, visible to the naked eye. Earth had an absolutely astonishing amount of mana now. It took all of Max’s control to move it quickly, though. It was like trying to ...
2024-06-24 10:20:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe knock echoed past the door, it settled into the surrounding stones. However, nothing happened for a few moments. He strained his hearing, wondering if he would hear footsteps on the other side. Suddenly, one side of the double doors silently opened. It wasn't a gust of wind or the door ...
2024-06-22 12:54:28 +0000 UTC View PostKevin faced his cousin inside a nearby park. He didn’t know whether the place was usually popular or not, but Lydia wasn’t suppressing her aura very well ever since she’d let a bit of it slip at Lord Alex’s mansion. The normal evening noises were gone. No birds chirped, ...
2024-06-22 12:53:36 +0000 UTC View PostKevin arrived at the gates of the mayor's mansion with plenty of time to spare. Since the official messenger had shown up the day before while Kevin had been drunk to give him this summons, every aspect of this enforced social call had been annoying. Kevin had plenty of experience with the nobili...
2024-06-22 12:52:18 +0000 UTC View PostI took my time heading towards the farms outside of town, traveling cautiously. There was plenty of evidence of monsters and people who had passed through the area, but other than some vehicles in the distance and the omnipresent, distant sounds of gun shots, I didn’t have any issues.
... 2024-06-22 02:38:53 +0000 UTC View PostI walked away from the junkyard for some time, my feet seeming to carry me away on their own.
My earlier feeling that I was fine after killing people for the first time ended up being a lie. It was true that I didn’t feel guilty, but I kept feeling worse and worse, like a knot was ...
When I ambled back to the Larsons' junkyard, the man in overalls hurriedly opened the gate for me. Then, all the adults moved back respectfully. At least, I liked to think it was respect and not just fear. None of the children were anywhere to be seen. I figured that they either had uncommon comm...
2024-06-22 02:37:01 +0000 UTC View PostEven before I'd been attacked, I'd gotten the lay of the land and figured that my greatest threat was that most of Caleb’s group were hunkered behind vehicles. Even though I'd just stolen Hailey’s the Necromancer’s goblin summon, there were still plenty of potential magical abilities ...
2024-06-22 02:36:02 +0000 UTC View PostAs we rounded the corner of the slatted fence, an SUV and a car came into view. I quickly counted nine people: two women and seven men. They all looked like rough customers. In front of me, Randy paled and turned back around, running back around the corner even faster than he’d f...
