MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 12
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----I might have another chapter for you later today or tomorrow Thursday. Trying to slowly make a backlog between RR and Patreon on Madman so every week isn't a hectic scramble. Fortunately, I've finished my exam preparations, so now I just have to do my three exams and I'll be free from school stuff until late August.-----------------------------Chapter 12[Congratulations! You have unlocked an achievement! x ]‘The First Step’Puzzled the pieces together, only to find a much bigger puzzle.This is...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 11
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Sorry for missing the chapter last week, but as a compensation two are dropping today and some long-awaited questions are finally answered, such as, "What is Breezy's secret fetish?"-----------------------------Chapter 11Breezy appeared between us and the entrance of Water Wizard’s Wonderland with a pillar of light. He had always been on our side, but I got the feeling that things would be different this time around.Bee and Tina were both time-frozen, and it was clear that he had come to ‘fix...
Loopshard - Chapter Fifty-Eight
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----And here it is, the last chapter of Book 1 of Loopshard.You won't get a new chapter until probably Sunday next weekend, since I'm gonna focus on Madman to hopefully get a few chapters done before Saturday to make up for the one I missed last Wednesday.-----------------------------Chapter Fifty-EightAdam spotted Emelia waiting next to the Altar from the sky and descended towards her on a spiralling trajectory.It took her a moment to notice his approach, and when she did she looked absolutely confused....
Loopshard - Chapter Fifty-Seven
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----I've been writing to get book 1 of Loopshard finished for the last 2½ days and got to about 9k words before finishing, and realised that I should probably split it into two. So, anyway, this is the first half. The rest will arrive in a bit.-----------------------------Chapter Fifty-Seven“Hello Adam,” greeted Luvicidix.“You look… different,” he replied. “I thought I had to get the Vanity upgrade for you to become humanoid.”“My sister and I cannot be affected by the Vanity upgrade, nor any...
Loopshard - Chapter Fifty-Six
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----There's only one or two more chapters before the end of Book 1. It's clocking in at about 200k words which is pretty crazy <.<My longest book so far was Father of Monstrosity and that's around 180k.Anyway, I felt pretty motivated to get this chapter done today, since it's something that I've worked towards for a long time and I think the payoff came out pretty good. Anyway, it's now 4AM here, so I'm off to bed ...-----------------------------Chapter Fifty-SixAdam walked around beh...
Loopshard - Chapter Fifty-Five
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----The exam project I'm working on ended up taking more time than expected yesterday, so that's why I just finished this now. For the project, I'm working with React Native, which I'm not very good at, so everything simple takes forever to do. Spent 4 hours today just trying to get a goddamn app to show my location on a map (._. )Anyway, it's turning out pretty good and I have until the 28th to finish it, so there's no stress.-----------------------------Chapter Fifty-FiveAdam hacked his...
Loopshard - Chapter Fifty-Four
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----I've finally finished all the editing I needed to do for Madman book 2 and Exorcist book 2. Now I can finally focus writing—!Oh wait, I've got exams coming up <.<I might not release anything next week until Friday, depending on how my preparations go. That being said, I'm also not releasing a new chapter of Loopshard on RR, so you guys on here won't fall behind in terms of how far ahead you are from the free readers.I'm working on chapter 55 at the moment, but it may not be done today. ...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 10
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----And so it begins!-----------------------------Chapter 10I gasped and found myself standing in front of the entrance to Water Wizard’s Wonderland, which was not where I’d been a second ago.“That wasn’t a second,” Panda muttered. “You were out for like 12 hours… Breezy really isn’t playing around this time.”Next to me, Bee and Tina both gasped as well. They were no longer translucent from the Adjudicator’s ‘Phase Locked’ spell that he’d inflicted on us.“The Judge is not to be trifle...
Loopshard - Chapter Fifty-Three
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Apologies for the delay, but I didn't want to rush this chapter.-----------------------------Chapter Fifty-Three< < Now Entering > >< Stage 5 >< The Forbidden Altar >< 30-minute Timer >Adam opened his eyes, immediately recognising the strange sensation of being stuck in a cutscene.But it was different from last time.He stood on the engraved stone disc in the middle of the Elphin Sanctuary’s ritual site. Under his feet reflective mercury flowed through the grooves in the stone and ahead of him, in the v...
Loopshard - Chapter Fifty-Two
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----It's been a super hectic week but I finally wrapped up the edits on Madman book 2, which is nice. Still need to wrap up Exorcist book 2, but I should get that done next week. Then the week after that my exams begin T_TOnce we're into June, stuff should become a bit less hectic I hope.UPDATE:Since chapter 53 is quite important, I don't want to rush it, so it'll come hopefully Monday or maybe Tuesday next week.-----------------------------Chapter Fifty-Two“Do you want to know the people you...

10 people joined the raffle for the 4 audiobook codes I have to give away.Congrats to the winners:the ice manladypie247Enrico SchmitzAlucardAs you can see, I used https://wheelofnames.com/ to do the spin (it's the same site I used to pick the Spin The Wheel options for book 2). If you are wondering why each image has less names, it's because I removed every name that was picked so they wouldn't be chosen twice.For the winners, I will reach out to you both by the email linked to your patreon account and through the platform's mes...

Loopshard - Chapter Fifty-One
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----I hate to do this to you two days in a row, but this chapter hasn't been edited yet since I just finished it at 3AM and really need to get my ass to bed.

Madman Apocalypse Book 1 is out!
Hi everyone! I just released Madman book 1 today on Kindle Unlimited, Audible, and as an eBook.I worked really hard to make the ebook as good a product as possible, and I think it ended up looking pretty good considering I did the formatting myself.The audibook is published by Tantor and narrated by Eric Michael Summerer, and I really think he nailed the insanity of the story. There's a 5 minute audio sample available for anyone wondering what it sounds like.Amazon: https://mybook.to/madman-apocalypse-1Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/Ma...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 8
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----I will have another Madman post out tomorrow concerning the release of book 1 on amazon. I should also have a Patreon-exclusive raffle of audibooks for anyone interested, but more about that later (since I'm not sure when I get those from the publisher yet).-----------------------------Chapter 8By the time I finished recounting my entire unedited tale of the past—“You skipped quite a lot,” Panda muttered. “Like a lot of important things. And you didn’t even talk about all the bad things you did...
Loopshard - Chapter Forty-Nine
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----As promised, here's the next chapter.UPDATE: After some consideration, I have editing this chapter and Forty-Five since I felt they were out of character for Adam in how he treated Emelia. As commenters rightly pointed out in chapter forty-five, Adam's treatment of her felt very strange given their interactions. I wanted to show that he wasn't romantically interested in her, but I went a bit overboard and also originally wrote him to be manipulative which in hindsight really goes against his esta...
Loopshard - Chapter Forty-Eight
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Chapter Forty-Nine is actually already done. I wanted to have both of them edited and up on here today, but editing took longer than expected, so Forty-Nine will be up early tomorrow instead.Forty-Eight is another big one. Been a lot of those for Stage Four, lol.-----------------------------Chapter Forty-Eight< < Collectible Relic > >< Skyblue Pearl (Rare) — Thine eyes hold a power oft forlorn, oft forgotten to time, oft lost to conflict. An unclouded gaze is the key to a world of secrets and thine eyes ar...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 7
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----This chapter ended up very unhinged. Brace yourselves.-----------------------------Chapter 7Neither Bee nor I were in a hurry to get to the fight taking place below in the metro station, so we just let the escalator slowly bring us down.“Who do you think are fighting?” Bee asked.“Probably two rival gangs or something,” I replied.“It just seems like a weird place to fight over,” she said. “There’s no food here and it would be hard to sleep in the station because of all the noise from the train...
Loopshard - Chapter Forty-Seven
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----This chapter ended up a fair bit longer than expected, which is why I didn't have it out in time yesterday, despite working until 3AM to try and make it happen. Anyway, it's almost 4k words long, so these last two chapters have been some big bois.-----------------------------Chapter Forty-Seven“Alright, listen up,” Adam told the squad of four archers and two swordsmen he’d gathered to him. Nearby, the other defenders were keeping the Forlorn soldiers at bay while a rain of arrows from above slo...
Loopshard - Chapter Forty-Six
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Wrote a bunch today.Also, the audio sample for Book 1 of Madman is available and ohmygawd I'm so fucking giddy with excitement about how good it sounds (give it a listen here). Stubbing book 1 of that story on Monday which is only mildly mortifying.Anyway, this is a long chapter (4500 words...). Took me forever to edit. I've also got most of chapter 47 done, but it won't be up until tomorrow or maybe Monday.Oh yeah, and happy Easter if you celebrate it. I'll be hiding easter eggs for my niece...
Loopshard - Chapter Forty-Five
-Previous chapter----Next chapter---------------------------------Chapter Forty-FiveGladwyn continued to look at Adam and Emelia with a barely-suppressed grin on his face, meanwhile Beck was blissfully ignorant to the fact that they were in the same dimension.“I think it’s time,” Adam started dramatically, “to figure out who won!”Beck grinned. “This time I won’t be last place,” he said confidently.“None of you have me beat,” Emelia told them.“What did you get?” Gladwyn asked. “3000 Points?”“4308,” she answered, l...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 6
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----(._. )Delayed yet again, sorry about that. After April I'll be much less busy.-----------------------------Chapter 6I launched myself at the Skinstealer before it could go on the offensive, shooting across the air between us with tremendous speed. My fist connected with its head as I flew past.“You just used SPRING_HEEL!” Panda exclaimed.Not-Noah leapt after me, but I dodgerolled forward and moved through his body as though it was made of smoke.“That was your I-Frames passive!” Panda yelled. “W...
Loopshard - Chapter Forty-Four
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----It's not what it looks like! I didn't stay up all night to finish this. It's been done for hours. I just didn't get around to editing it until now <.<Next week is Easter vacation, so it's okay if I fuck up my sleeping schedule a bit.Anyway, this chapter was fun to write. Hope it's also fun to read. I should have Ch.45 out tomorrow.-----------------------------Chapter Forty-FourAdam’s mind raced with the implications of the announcement he’d just received.Emelia is here!? In my wor...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 5
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Super delayed, sorry about that, but I wanted to get the latest Loopshard chapter out yesterday so this one was pushed back as a result.-----------------------------Chapter 5Bee was looking at me like I was a psychic.“How did you know??” she whispered in disbelief.The four of us stood in front of Liam Johnson and his bodyguards. All six of them had loaded crossbows in their hands and steak knives hanging from their belts, as well as bullet-proof vests.The Chief of Police was lounging on a comfy-looking s...
Loopshard - Chapter Forty-Three
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Thought I could have this out Sunday, but didn't happen. You're getting it today instead, even though I normally write on Madman chapter Monday to Wednesday. Once I'm done with editing I can promise at least 3 chapters weekly, but it's just a bit of a busy mess at the moment with all the stuff I've got going on <.<I'll have two more chapters coming at the end of the week.-----------------------------Chapter Forty-ThreeThey started off by visiting Weaver in the Market.“Did the rope a...
Loopshard - Chapter Forty-Two
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----I would've had this out yesterday, but I'm trying to avoid working until 2-3 AM since it really fucks up my productivity for the next day <.<I might have another chapter out later today, but we'll see how it goes. Got a presentation at school tomorrow I've gotta wrap up as well, plus the edits for publication literally never end (._. )-----------------------------Chapter Forty-TwoIt took 3 minutes before the Necrosis affliction finally started to dissipate. He’d been getting increasingly wo...
Loopshard - Chapter Forty-One
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----This chapter took me a long time to finish today, not sure why. It's also quite big, clocking in at 4000 words. Anyway, I haven't had time to edit it yet, but I'll do that tomorrow after I wake up.UPDATE: Chapter has now been edited.-----------------------------Chapter Forty-OneThe ground trembled and the treeline shook as the massive Slothling Ogre broke through. The trees toppled and blocked off the path it’s huge body had made. Even though Adam had defeated it before, the sight was no less i...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 4

Let's see if Gambit can finish collecting all his allies before then!-----------------------------Chapter 4“What are youdoing here?” Samantha asked. “I thought the asylum still had power.”She definitely remembered me, which I thought was impressive considering everything going on.“You must’ve left quite an impression last she saw you,” Panda remarked....
