This chapter has a second part. I'll be combining them later.

As he’d already figured, meeting Lavinia–a spirit with a soul of a Summoner originally from Albion–had an element of inevitably since the two of them had to be resonating strongly on multiple levels to talk like this. They were both in Summoner Acade...

Hey everyone,
First, thank you to everyone who has reviewed Past Life Hero on Royal Road so far. Ya'all are rad.
So...there's a problem on there.
I only have two in-depth reviews right now on Royal Road for Past Life Hero. I don't know what th...
Max reflected that even with all the strange social situations he'd been in over two lifetimes, this was still definitely one of the most notable. He was currently sitting on his bed, facing the ghost girl, Lavinia, as she sat in his chair.
He had not moved his desk chair to where it curren...
2023-08-16 01:22:24 +0000 UTC View PostIt felt like he’d had a bad dream.
Max woke up, staring at the sky. But in less than a second, he remembered what had happened and was instantly mad as hell. He sat up, looking down at himself, and sure enough, his body was whole. He didn't know if he was in exactly the same field he had ...
2023-08-14 22:33:54 +0000 UTC View PostMax crouched down, dagger at the ready. He wasn't feeling optimistic about this situation. There were four men with spears blocking the entrance to the alley and another four in front of the restaurant plus Regal. Suddenly, a screen popped up to one side of his vision that read:
On Saturday morning, Max walked on the road to the central area with Lance and Wiley.
It wasn't early, and it wasn't late. About halfway between breakfast and lunch. He had expected more people to be heading to the central area, but there were only two other groups that he had seen. One was...
2023-08-13 01:54:13 +0000 UTC View PostI haven't done this for a while, but after seeing a bunch of writing advice on Twitter, I felt compelled to writing some of my own.
This next part is not a flex, it's to add context.
I regularly chat with some of the most successful fantasy authors in the world. Others that I d...
2023-08-12 16:41:18 +0000 UTC View PostMax grabbed a snack. The conversation started after everyone sat down at the table. "You're done for the day now, right Max?" asked Lance.
"Yeah, but after this, I was going to go work out, I think."
Lance shook his head. "I probably should, too. Been thinking about it. &n...
2023-08-12 03:20:12 +0000 UTC View PostDuring Max's walk to get some food, he kept feeling like he was seeing things out of the corner of his eye. Sure enough, when he opened his third eye, his summoner eye, he was able to see something that actually astonished him. The very walls themselves were covered in spirits. What they were use...
2023-08-10 20:18:26 +0000 UTC View PostHi folks!
I'm trying to get those $10 chapters out as fast as possible so I can make it an official tier, and also so readers can see what's coming.
It's a little frustrating that readers with less patience on Royal Road keep giving the story bad reviews when what they're saying is ...
long chapter!
That Friday, Max woke up and immediately got ready for class. He thought he had woken up a bit late, and the magical clock in his room agreed with him. Dammit. He hadn’t set an alarm. Good thing for his new habits or he could have overslept much wor...
Max ate a snack during his break after Challenger Path Lore class. He still had a lot to ponder. While he thought about different Paths and what other mana-based Path might be a good fit for him in the future, he tried to rein himself in. He was likely getting ahead of himself. After all, h...
2023-08-09 01:18:04 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Max woke up on the first Thursday of his first semester at Summoner Academy, he started the day as he usually did–heading for the bathroom. As he left his room, he heard weird noises coming from his roommate's room again. At this point, he was relatively sure that he didn't hav...
2023-08-07 23:48:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day, Wednesday, Max woke up early. It seemed early rising was starting to become a habit. This time, he didn't hear any sounds coming from his roommate's room. He did a light workout, went to the cafeteria, and got changed. He still decided to wear a robe, but as the day before, he...
2023-08-05 22:19:18 +0000 UTC View PostHalfway back, Max was surprised by Gantry Pliss approaching him. "Your name is Max?"
"Yes. Gantry, right?"
"That's what they call me," said Gantry with a smile. His face grew serious, and he said, "Truly, I am super impressed by how you fight. What the professor said was true. Y...

Max’s second day of class started off differently than the first had. He decided to get up early and work out in the morning. While he was getting ready, he heard noise in the room next to his for the first time. The entire time he'd been at Summoner Academy...
2023-08-03 18:11:22 +0000 UTC View PostSummoner Academy operated on a five day class week, with weekends being two days. Seven day weeks similar to Earth made the system easy for Max and Lance to adapt to. Classes were staggered. Some classes were Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and some were only on Tuesday and Thursdays...
2023-08-02 16:22:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe $10 tier is a work in progress. I'll be building it up to the 15 chapters or so ahead that I'm shooting for over the next 2 weeks.

Luckily, Max didn't have any other problems before registering for classes. It went without a hi

Even though the parking lot was relatively small, there were few enough vehicles to allow for plenty of room. In fact, there was a handy, empty space outside right after leaving the food court. This seemed weird to Max. Back on Earth, it seemed people were often trying to park as clos...
2023-07-30 22:16:55 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone.
I'm going to be adding more chapters on here at a faster rate than free chapters on Royal Road.
My eventual goal is to raise the number of chapters per tier, and have a decent $10 tier.
I'm working on it!

Some chapters should be up soon. :) It's gonna be a long, long, book.
2023-07-30 16:10:12 +0000 UTC View PostAt the edge of the Summoner Academy, Max only saw one or two other students in the very plain, grubby medieval style clothing that he and Lance were wearing. He realized now that others would likely be able to tell they were new arrivals in the central area. Oh well, screw it, he thought...
2023-07-29 18:57:25 +0000 UTC View PostMax and Lance headed over to the auditorium where their group of newcomers had received almost all of the informational assemblies over the last few days. After Max took a seat, he noted the usual group of five staff in the middle of the floor waiting for them. Now that Max had been at the academ...
2023-07-29 13:44:49 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day was not very eventful, as it was mostly taken up with more processing and various meetings where most of what Max had already learned by reading the pamphlets was explained to the group by professors, usually Professor Happy. But during this time, the newcomers also familiarized them...
2023-07-28 16:28:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day, Max woke up right on time, his internal clock gently nudging him awake. He sat up, stretched, and thought about how glorious it was to wake up this way in this lifetime. More than anything back on Earth, being able to wake up without feeling like hell on two legs was something he ha...
2023-07-28 12:56:19 +0000 UTC View PostNew Past Life Hero chapters are going up today.
Please be patient with me. :P
Max's room definitely wasn't bad. In fact, he was mildly surprised that it was as good as it was. After all, after seeing more of the Summoner Academy on the way, he hadn't been too impressed by the rest of the grounds. Earth was a no-mana, high-technology world, and it had pretty decent faciliti...

If you're here, you're already be getting advanced chapters, but I figured I'd let you know in case you've read ahead and want to leave a review or w/e. :)
2023-07-27 11:21:59 +0000 UTC View PostThis time, Max's transition wasn't so comfortable. He woke up on his face in the dirt. Pushing himself up, the first thing he noticed was that he was in a field with other people who all looked as discombobulated as he did. The second thing he noticed was that he wasn't wearing the same clothes a...
