This turned out not to be the final chapter, but the next one is. The book is finished! I was up till 4am last night getting it done. I've still got to edit the final chapter and it will be out on Tuesday.
“How are you feeling, Hump?” Emilia asked from the fo...
2023-03-26 01:21:51 +0000 UTC View PostAnother bonus chapter! Next release shall be Saturday, and I think it will be the last one of Book 3.
Hump made it to the side passage of the House of Stone before the cold of essence overuse caught up with him. This wasn’t just a chill; it was flesh burning, bone freezin...
2023-03-23 23:35:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe echo of Starick’s warning left a chill in Hump. He’d had enough of war, yet today’s battle was far from over. The crackle of flames still filled the House of Stone as the Tree of Damnation burned. The light glimmered in the fading mist of Starick’s spell, until nothing of the three pr...
2023-03-23 00:41:13 +0000 UTC View PostAnother bonus chapter! (hopefully) I'm going to try and write another chapter for Tuesday's usual release, but it's not started yet so it may not happen.
At least for tonight, Patreon is officially 10 chapters ahead!
There was no point in thinki...
2023-03-21 00:54:32 +0000 UTC View PostHump stood over Eliana relishing in his newfound power. He could sense the ensuing battle taking place behind him and finally understood why Anthony went so far. Why Kassius had craved the dragon soul as he had. This… was bliss. He felt indomitable. Fearless. Powerful.
“Look at yourself...
2023-03-19 00:47:19 +0000 UTC View PostSurprise bonus chapter! The next one just needs an edit too, so there should be another tomorrow.
Bud couldn’t take his eyes from the raging battle outside the House of Stone. Adrenaline rushed through him as he watched Anthony and his warlocks face off against the newly ...
2023-03-17 23:49:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe gorger grinned at Hump with an ivory smile, its mouth dark and hollow at the back. It peered at him through pitted bronze eyes, and Hump sensed the twisted pleasure even on its alien face. This was what it had been waiting for—a chance. Chains pulled Hump up by his wrists until he could sta...
2023-03-15 21:34:45 +0000 UTC View PostHump knew something was different with this spell. This level of power wasn’t meant for a wizard—it was beyond him, and that was both thrilling and terrifying.
The pages of his spellbook turned entirely golden, trails of essence spiralling off it and filling the air around Hump. Power s...
2023-03-12 00:11:58 +0000 UTC View PostThis is kind of an awesome chapter to be number 200 :D Thanks for sticking with the story for so long! Can't believe it's already 200 chapters lol.
It took everything Hump had to keep the dungeon essence from boiling out of his body. Without a formation to infuse it with in...
2023-03-08 00:47:26 +0000 UTC View PostHump couldn’t tear his gaze from the battlefield, or at least, what was left of it. he watched as the cliff continued to crumble away, white stone tumbling to the city below. Buildings collapsed off the edge, bodies fell, and in less than a minute half the temple district was gone.
Even s...
2023-03-05 01:37:17 +0000 UTC View PostThis went through a million rewrites. Action is hard lol
Bud moved ahead of Corvin to meet the quickly approaching inquisitor.
Hump felt Abraxus’ hold over him slacken as the man’s focus went to fighting the two knights. He pulled himself back to his feet with his...
2023-03-01 01:54:43 +0000 UTC View PostAhead of schedule! There's a decent chance there will be a chapter tomorrow too, so patreon will be 9 ahead. Really loving how things are coming along with this chapter.
Abraxus shouldn’t be here, and he certainly shouldn’t be so calm. Hump’s instincts told him ...
2023-02-24 22:09:42 +0000 UTC View PostA stillness permeated the city at the fall of Countess Daston, as if nobody could quite believe it had happened. The fighting came to a momentary halt. Warlocks cried out in triumph, while the defenders of Sheercliff went quiet and started to retreat.
Anthony, however, stood stoically at th...
2023-02-21 23:56:11 +0000 UTC View Post“There’s something in there,” Celaine said, nodding toward a ruined manor a dozen paces further up the street. “It’ll see us if we keep going.”
She’d stopped up ahead, while Patrick circled around the ruined house for a better look.
A strange, slurping sound escaped from...
2023-02-20 00:14:31 +0000 UTC View PostWith the fall of the Tree of Damnation, everyone that remained in the academy courtyard was on their feet. They watched as Hump stepped out of the main building alongside Marcela and the others, a mixture of fear and awe on their face.
Marcela gave them the same speech.
“If we remai...
2023-02-16 01:01:09 +0000 UTC View PostI took home a border collie puppy on Friday. Never have I struggled so hard to concentrated! It's 2am but I made it :D
Moving through the streets of the Upper City was made easy by Marcela’s party. They knew the area like the back of their hands and guided them discreetly...
2023-02-12 02:15:53 +0000 UTC View PostWhat have I got myself into? Hump slowly looked over the vault, his eyes glazing over riches beyond his imagination, and he had a fairly good imagination at that.
“Are you sure we can help ourselves?” Emilia asked.
“This will all be useless if Sheercliff falls,” Marce...
2023-02-08 20:36:25 +0000 UTC View PostI'm in the process of making a glossary for all Book of Infinite Pages entries so far, as well as general character info for the main cast like their blessings. I think I'll be finished with it this week so there might be a post that's not a chapter.
If there's any ...
2023-02-04 19:41:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, I've got a series I really recommend you check out that just came out on Royal Road. Ashborn Primordial is a Progression Fantasy written by a friend of mine, Vowron Prime (some of you may know him. He wrote Magnus.) I beta read this book for him and it's awesome. I hope you give...
2023-02-01 01:27:18 +0000 UTC View PostHump studied the helpless form of High Priest Agaron. The man’s body was petrified up to his chest, forming a scaly bark over his skin. It cracked as he breathed in and out, the sound sending a chill through Hump. If the gods did not intervene even for a man like him, Hump wondered where they d...
2023-01-28 22:56:11 +0000 UTC View PostRicard might be a powerful Chosen, but Hump wasn’t sure how even he would be able to break a barrier like this. Fuelled by the tree’s essence, it seemed an almost endless well of power, yet Ricard made it sound easy.
“How?” Hump asked.
“Time and power,” Ricard said. “All...
2023-01-25 01:37:58 +0000 UTC View PostI don't think there's anything I find more difficult in writing than large battle scenes. This is the start of the first proper large one in the series, and I'm really pleased with how it's coming along!
Hump gripped his staff. The doorway was sealed shut, and he...
2023-01-21 22:38:47 +0000 UTC View PostFinding the opera house was easy; all they had to do was move in the opposite direction of the fleeing crowd. They were there in five minutes. Guards stood watch across the street, preventing access for anyone that shouldn’t be there. Hump and the others didn’t even need to show their medalli...

2023-01-13 22:05:26 +0000 UTC View PostIt was late when Vivienne returned to the inn, Eliana alongside her. They’d been at the debriefing for the day following the attacks on the warlock bases.
Hump and the others had decided to wait up for her, all of them eager for news. The two women appeared exhausted when they took a seat...
2023-01-11 02:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostI feel obligated to inform you that this is Chapter 69 of Book 3.
With news of more trees discovered on the warlock base targeted by Countess Daston, Ricard ordered Hump and the others to remain on site until the situation was clarified....
2023-01-08 01:26:01 +0000 UTC View Post2700 words a day is really feeling like a lot lol. I'm only counting new words, and so far I've managed to hit 2300, 1400, 1200. That includes editing and stuff, but it's just such a high target! I am speeding up though. It's progress...

2023-01-03 18:08:45 +0000 UTC View Post“Who are you?” Hump asked. He maintained his Shield, ready for another attack.
“Doesn’t matter,” the man said casually.
He raised his staff. Essence streamed up his arm and through the air around him, filling his focus and making it shine bronze. Earth magic.

2022-12-30 22:55:20 +0000 UTC View PostHump trailed behind as they raced through the streets. Marcela led the way, guided by the light of the locator crystal. Even after all his physical training, Hump was still far from able to match the pace of Chosen. His heart pounded, his lungs burned with cool winter air, but he kept running at ...
