This has been my distraction for the last 2 hours.

This day...I swear.

I'll explain more in a post after this.

Little bit of an update. Mostly housekeeping

Hi everyone!

Those of you who follow a few different authors might already know this, but Patreon changed the UI on the creator end and it's obnoxiously terrible.  If I make any mistakes with chapter postings, please let me know.  It'll 100% be because of these new changes.

Past Life Hero, Start of book 2

Hi all!

Sorry for how late I'm telling you all, but I just looked at the chapter I was about to post and I'm not happy with it.

It gives me a lot more uninterrupted time if I wait to post chapters.  I'm going to have all 3 chapters for the week up by Friday, and maybe post 2 ch...

Chapter 55

Max woke up on grainy asphalt.  He sat up to find himself in an alley. The air felt heavy, charged with anticipation.  For a moment, Max didn’t want to move.  It would have felt great to just take a nap.  A whiff of a nearby dumpster helped break the weight of the moment. &n...

Chapter 54

Max stayed seated after The Morrigan left.  The room she’d created hadn’t changed, and it would continue to exist for about another half an hour.  She’d told him when the structure began to fall apart, Max would be transported to Earth.  Apparently, it was easier to move him ...

Chapter 53

"I'm not promising to make a deal but I’m willing to hear you out, Lady Morrigan.”

“This is good.  How do you wish to proceed?”

Max was momentarily taken aback by the question, but decided to just roll with it.  “I want to ask one of my most pressing questions. Why...

Past Life Hero, Ch 52

This chapter took me extra long to write, but it came out exactly how I wanted it to.


****


A kaleidoscope of images, impressions, histories, and facts assailed Max’s mind like a rapid fire stream of cannonballs covered in felt.  He was forced to gaze upon snap shots o...

Past Life Hero, ch 51

Sorry for the wait!

Plus side is these chapters are long!  I'm editing 52 now.  It'll come out in a few hours.

The inside of the temple dimly lit up as Max entered. The faint light was comforting at first, but when he glanced back, the illumination...

Past Life Hero note for Patrons at top tiers

2 chapters are coming out on Friday. :)  Sorry for the wait but I needed to edit the latest one again.

Past Life Hero, Chapter 50

Max was able to keep track of time with his tablet, which was useful.  Otherwise he’d have no way of knowing how local time was passing in the dark.  He idly wondered if time would revert or change once he got back to the Quartet. Thinking about the different time flows and how they d...

Past Life Hero, ch 49

Max had to make a decision on which cave to explore. He had a hunch that the one decorated with fetishes would be a better choice.  Someone or something must have made them, which implied a certain level of intellect, opposable thumbs, and tool users. All sorts of nasty things could live in ...

Past Life Hero, Chapter 48

Max crouched in a half-cave he'd found, nothing deep enough for anything or anyone to live in.  It wasn’t even big enough to hide in very well, but at least it gave the illusion of temporary safety. The moment he'd realized something had gone wrong, he'd immediately tried to find some sort...

Past Life Hero, Chapter 47

For the next few days, Max focused on establishing a daily routine. He had decided to take Professor Grave Call up on the offer of not actually attending class very often for Basic Group Combat. This meant his days were mostly wide open.  So other than the times he set aside for training his...

Past Life Hero, ch 46

Yay!

We're caught up now.  Taking a week off really threw me off my game!

***

Max was thankful for his martial arts teaching experience on Earth.  Beginning a class with new students in the Quartet felt very comfortable for him. It sort of felt like putting on an o...

Past Life Hero, ch 45

Lance tapped his finger on the table. "I'll be real with you. I'm pretty frustrated."

"Okay," said Max, "so how about you talk first and I'll just listen while I eat." 

Lance seemed to consider that and nodded his head.  "I had some time to think about everything that happen...

Quick heads up on Past Life Hero

Hi everyone!

I'm tire of lagging behind on chapters, so instead of posting yesterday's chapter today--late--I'm just going to power through to get caught up and post a double chapter on Friday.

If figure that with the double, nobody will mind. :)

Past Life Hero, ch 44

Max stood across the training field from Gantry, with Professor Grave Call to one side. The tall Man had pulled a simple chair over from somewhere and was just watching Max and Gantry watch each other. Max had noticed other students heading in their direction or watching from a distance for a whi...

Past Life Hero, ch 43

Sorry for the delay on this one.  I'm almost back to business as usual but it took some doing.

***

Max woke up and didn't know where he was at first. The room was far too large and opulent. It felt like his old life was overlapping the present, giving him a strange case of vert...

Past Life Hero, ch 42

I'm a little late posting this.  Please forgive me.

Max went to the front door, curious about who it could possibly be. He wasn’t even sure who would be aware that he had just purchased this dorm.  The uncertainty made him extra wary.  Golem guards outsid...

Past Life Hero, ch 41

It was somewhat unsurprising to learn from the golems that all of the most expensive rooms were empty. In fact, for Max, it was more eyebrow-raising that the golem spoke with such a normal human-sounding voice. He'd been expecting them all to sound robotic, maybe echoey or mystical sounding, or p...

Past Life Hero, ch 40

I'm a little late on this chapter, but it wasn't my fault.  I promise. :)

(okay, it's only half true)

Max left the alley and headed straight for the portion of the central area where weapons and armor were sold.  He felt conspicuous as hell carrying his loot...

Past Life Hero, ch 39

The restaurant was called The Blue Ox. Max decided that it looked a lot like college hangouts on Earth.  One of the only differences was how instead of TV screens with sports games playing, there were large magic crystals in the corner with some sort of song and dance routines instead.  ...

Past Life Hero, ch 38

As he walked across the school grounds, Max noticed more stolen glances or even open staring, even among upperclassmen. Lavinia must have noticed as well because he heard her voice in his ear saying, "Wow! You're really becoming famous, huh? You know, I was famous in my time too, or maybe infamou...

Pat Life Hero, Chapter 37

Max woke up in what was becoming an increasingly familiar field. He sat up, looking around himself.  “Ugh,” he grunted.  He spotted his clothes, which he'd been wearing when he'd been killed, neatly folded in a pile next to him on the ground. The clothes he currently had on were the...

Chapter 36

As Max left the restroom-turned-slaughter house, he briefly thought about using the kitchen to set a fire or blow something up. However, he decided against it for the same reason he hadn't seriously considered it before. Demerits were one thing, and he was resigned to stacking up demerits like cr...

Past Life Hero, ch 35

Max peeked out the door into the hallway of the unfamiliar dorms.  He quickly realized that beyond just the size of the rooms, these buildings were built much differently, layout-wise, than the ones on the Summoner Academy grounds. Firstly, this room did not have a common area between two ot...

New tier question - need input

***This post is only for $10 and $20 tiers.***

Now that we're 15 chapters ahead of Royal Road, I need to ask a housekeeping question.

Some authors with big web serials have stretch goals, and they'll add more chapters to their highest tiers if they get more Patreon patrons.

It'...

Past Life Hero, ch 34

Sneaking into the Mystic Spear Academy grounds ended up being much easier than Max had feared. The Mystic Spear grounds were intimidating.  Unlike the front of the Summoner Academy grounds that were just one big pen forest with a road and a gate, the Mystic Spear Academy gate also had a fenc...

Past Life Hero, ch 33

Max spent an entire day in the forest, testing his new capabilities.  He also worked out strategies and shortcut codes for them with Lavinia that he thought of while he'd been refining mana. It felt great to finally have a complete mana body again. Of course, the downside was that achieving ...

Past Life Hero, ch 32.5

This is eventually going to be rolled up into chapter 32.

Max had some pep in his step.  He was still furious about what the Spear brothers had done, but now he had an opportunity to learn something new again.

He left his dorm and immediately headed for the edge of c...
