ROD - Chapter 134 (End of Book 2)
Chapter One-Hundred-Thirty-Four – EpilogueDeath is not the end… it is but a new beginning…-Jimminite Prophecy-The darkness stirs as I feel a strange familiarity with my surroundings. A more familiar pop up finds me next.[ You have died. ]My mind feels as it did before the buffs, before everything else. My grip on mana feels distant, just like reality.I sigh, looking out at the endless smoke and haze of this false well of souls. The System’s approximation to the real thing. A holding ground of sorts. In the corner of my vision I see abno...
ROD - Chapter 133
Chapter One-Hundred-Thirty-Three – Carry the TorchHail Thy Gods… for I send you to meet them…-Third Incarnation of Akronos-“You don’t live in a world where all that I love is gone, you suffer in it.” Light springs forth from the heavens as my last set of runes activate, “You pray in such a world that you can escape the wrath that is mine.”Sariel squints at me.“Fear is the only appropriate emotion.”Lightning sings across the landscape as reality bends and bows to a new god.Me.Lightning swells around me, arcing across the grou...
ROD Book one final cover
Dear Patrons,Just got back the final cover design from my publisher. Let me know what you think 🍻🍻🍻Respectfully,Godric
Another free month / Author Update
Dear Patrons, Normally I don't talk about stuff like this, but I feel I should say something as it is impacting my work. Apologies for the light posting, I've been in an out of hospitals and clinics the last few weeks / months. My workflow has been less than what I wanted because of what's going on with me physically. So, in response to that, I will be making February another free month. There will still be chapter posts on here and RR. However, I make no promises on posting this month, my first priority is my health. I'm not qu...
HTG - Chapter 199
KalonChapter One-Hundred-Ninety-Nine: Ata - Part ThreePlanet: EtheriaMy body looks more toned than before. It's been nearly two months since Solara left. My senses even feel sharper, though I’m not ready to admit to Dargo that his training seems to be effective. A storm patters against the glass as I peer into the endless lands of purple flowers and blue hues. It is a beautiful place, one where the water does not always move as it ought. Such a place is peaceful to me. It calls to my weary spirit.“I think I am ready to see Arrum, old ma...
Weekly Schedule Update
Dear Patrons, ROD's chapter is in the works, it's going to be the final chapter for book two, it is over 4k words so far. Which is 2 chapters worth already and I'm not even finished with it. Instead of breaking it up into multiple chapters, I'm going to release it as one big and hopefully satisfying chapter. I may have it finished by Sunday, or at the latest Monday. As always when a book gets finished, I take a week off from that book to edit and send to my publisher. Should be pretty quick, there isn't a lot I think I'l...
HTG - Chapter 198
KalonChapter One-Hundred-Ninety-Eight: Ata - Part TwoPlanet: EtheriaSweat beads from my brow as I stand across from Solara. Weeks have passed in what feels like days. Arrum rarely visits, only to replenish his supplies and consult Dargo, whom I still haven’t deigned to speak with yet. Some days he watches on the edges of the sparring mats, words almost daring to whisper guidance. There is still disdain in me for him. One that still festers. One built from him delivering all of us to Mallock. Even if he did not know the destination of our suff...
Update / Delayed Schedule
Dear Patrons, Really glad I made January a free month too. Oof, apologies for the delays, obligations caught up with me, and now I'm behind on writing. Instead of rushing through chapters and letting quality slip, I'm going to take Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to catch up. I'll also be rewriting a bit of the last chapter of ROD. The emotional tone at the end of the chapter feels a little muted considering what happened. Expect roughly 300-500 words of added content. When the next chapter gets posted, you can reread the last part of...
ROD - Chapter 132
The heavens shall tremble and the System shall kneel when the Prime rises…-Jimminite Prophecy-Starlight swims in my eyes as Mythren’s power enshrouds my soul and keeps it from being destroyed. His voice speaks in my mind.Do not do this… do not doom the Cosmos for the sake of pride… you do not understand what this will do… if I fall with you… so too does the hope for this age…The void embraces me gently as I siphon his strength. Weaves of purple runes act like an armor to protect my fracturing mortal vessel. I’m ready for my gamb...
ROD / Schedule update (Edited)
Dear Patrons, [ Edit 24 Jan 2025, I was really busy, apologies. I will try to catch up by Monday. Thank you for your patience. ] ROD chapter drop is going to be getting delayed until Friday. I've been doing final edits for book one all day, (apparently, they edited it again). My publisher asked me to do it ASAP so the narrator can start working on it. Anyway, I'll find time to write two chapters on Friday. Also, I'm not sure book two of ROD will end by next week. It might get extended a bit to give it a satisfying ending instead of...
HTG - Chapter 197
KalonChapter One-Hundred-Ninety-Seven: Ata - Part OnePlanet: EtheriaSolara traces around me slowly, each movement is measured and full of intention. Twin blades slide into her grasp, each as long as her forearms with a curved edge, I have not seen the style before making me wary. The momentum paired with her blade song, I wonder how it will move.“You always have such curious eyes, Kalon,” she says spinning the blades, “Eyes that linger more than they ought.”“I am admiring your blades, I have never seen any like them before.”She give...
ROD - Chapter 131
Chapter One-Hundred-Thirty-One – Gambit – Part TwoProblems can often exist without people, whereas solutions rarely can.-UWO Specialist Novak-Pain is my existence… darkness swells around me.Did Mythren activate his protection when I spoke the phrase? I remember purple light engulfing me…Heat is my muse when the cold embrace of death’s door seeps in and out of the marrow of my soul. Sounds pierce the veil of my sanity as I feel the energy of a god trying to compress into a mortal coil.A voice standing above me brings my thoughts to rea...
HTG - Chapter 196
KalonChapter One-Hundred-Ninety-Six: Anakor - Part ThreePlanet: EtheriaTime passes slowly as Ioquin patiently answers my questions. In some ways she reminds me of my mother when I was a boy. She used to be this patient with me as well.“So, you’re saying that the first bound doesn’t decide if someone will walk the Netheric or the Etheric?”She nods, speaking into my mind.The first bound only gives one the understanding of the forces that are around them. In the second they decide which path they shall follow.“What determines their abili...
Weekly Schedule / HTG Update / Poll Results
Dear Patrons I hope you had a great week!HTG chapter will be released tomorrow, apologies for the delay I’ve been driving up and down Florida visiting my wife’s family since Thursday. I’ll try to make it a bit longer to compensate for the delay 🍻The poll results and the comments about me writing a third story helped me to get a pulse check with everyone. Thank you for voting and for your concern ❤️🍻❤️What I’m going to do for now is just make Sundays / any day I finish up early a free write day. Which means I may drop chapt...
ROD - Chapter 130
Chapter One-Hundred-Thirty – Gambit – Part OneActions that shake the balance of the fates become legends. Legends given sufficient time become myths.-Artemius-The air gusts in wild torrents as Jaledi’s power is stripped from her, piece by piece. I feel the power swelling in the Earth and in my soul. Flashes of the place that the Lich Adaraic described flow across my mind. As though my consciousness is flowing into it. The first rite, to find the realm of my soul.Before I can find it, I feel on the edge of my expanding perception twelve…...
ROD news / Poll
Dear Patrons,If you don’t like ROD please skip ahead to the poll. ROD will likely get a book 4-5 now (potentially more, not sure yet). Book three will hopefully be epic and set the stage for book four. The ending of book two should be finished by next week, but it could go a little over that. Or I might just do a long chapter like I did for book one’s final fight. The poll is for the new story, whether you want me to write a few more chapters of Starseed or if you want to see the other ideas I’m working on / if you want a few chapters fro...
HTG - Chapter 195
KalonChapter One-Hundred-Ninety-Five: Anakor - Part TwoPlanet: EtheriaTime slips from my perception as darkness embraces me like a lost quilt of comfort. Everything I have come to know as normal begins to fade as my senses are dulled and I am lost in the waves of gentle movement.Until I see it…A dim light that grows in the oppressive darkness.Golden eyes flicker against the oppression, becoming strengthened by it even. As though reality’s cruelties can only increase its power.A balance… something that deep in my heart of hearts… I under...
ROD - Chapter 129
Chapter One-Hundred-Twenty-Nine – Lightning – Part ThreeThere is nothing scarier than a man with nothing to lose. I pity the fool who makes him like that.-UWO Colonel Greymore-It’s nearly time for me to pick them up at the airport, my hands are admittedly a little full though. I'll need to find a solution for that. Balancing a goddess’s attempts to increase her power on Earth, while also shutting out a very insistent system entity. One that is tapping on the proverbial glass wall that I have erected. One that isn’t keen on me keep...
Starseed - Chapter 4
Chapter Four – Starseed – Part OneIt's been nearly twelve hours since we arrived at Haven station in the Talos system. Our... guest by request of the emperor has made herself at home already on my flagship. It pains me to look at this woman. Not just because she’s attractive and I don’t want her to be. But because she’s got the dipshit wrapped around her finger. So much so that the Commander of the Alpha Uncaria is now babysitting her… or being baby sat by her…Fucking hells.“Commander, are you going to offer me tea or just w...
HTG - Chapter 194
KalonChapter One-Hundred-Ninety-Four: Anakor - Part OnePlanet: EtheriaIoquin’s words asking what I will choose play on my mind as I look at the crashing waves of the Realm of Dreams. My soul’s realm. The chaos represents my past perfectly. How many times have I been left without choice? I’ve lost count.Choice… an elusive thing that I have seldom known.“You need to decide quickly,” Ioquin says, eyeing the fractures in the periphery.“Is there even a choice here?” I ask, turning to look at her.She frowns at the remark, and turns ba...
ROD - Chapter 128
Chapter One-Hundred-Twenty-Eight – Lightning – Part TwoPeople can believe anything. Even if every single person in the world believed the same thing, it doesn’t necessarily make it true. Real truth does not require belief, it just requires discovery.-Alpha Jimminite Theta 41-The proverbial heavens tremble with the grace of an angry and spurned goddess. She should not be here, there should be things preventing her from communing on our world. Yet in normal god fashion she has moved around the rules and made her own.It’s only fair that I ...
Starseed - Chapter 3
Chapter Three – Summons – Part Three“Sectors three, seven and nine are still having mechanical issues, sir,” one of my chief warrant officers tells me. “We put in the request for parts three years ago, sir.”“Can it complete three consecutive hyperjumps without critical failure?”She raises an eyebrow, “Well yeah, I don’t let rubbish out of my bay, sir, I just wanted you to know that it’s not tip top. It’s a little below that, given the cobbled together parts and the lack of electronic upgrades in the last decade, which th...

Starseed Chapters 1-2
* Author Note *Title of series is temporary as is the name Alpha Uncaria and potentially some character names etc. This is a very rough draft. I'm posting a second chapter and working on a third because I felt the rhythm for the story so to speak. For those that read the first chapter, go ahead and skip to chapter two it's in this post. Those that haven't read it yet, this is #2 of the potential new stories.Anyway, please leave your thoughts in the comments. Thank you for reading!* End Author Note *Chapter One – Summons – Part O...
New Potential Story #2
* Author Note *Started writing this one on a whim, not sure where exactly it's going, which could potentially be exciting. It will likely have LitRPG elements that show up in the first ten chapters. I don't want to give too many spoilers if this ends up getting picked. Let me know your thoughts or if you're interested in the comments. Thank you!*End Author Note*Chapter One – The Runt“Sir, I’ve already told you, I need the authorization marks in order to release a prisoner in transit.”I push the paperwork in front of the woma...
HTG - Chapter 193
KalonChapter One-Hundred-Ninety-Three: Sha - Part ThreePlanet: EtheriaTime saunters back and forth with the raging of my realm. Something is fundamentally changing in it, the air itself quivers back and forth in a tempo I can scarcely follow. Light in the periphery blinds my eyes.Chaos and yet… despite everything, I can’t help but feel that it is beautiful. The natural inverses of energy battling each other and creating a brilliant spectacle.“Did you hear me, boy!” Dargo yells over the waves and gales of wind.I shake my head.“We need ...
HTG - Chapter 192
KalonChapter One-Hundred-Ninety-Two: Sha - Part TwoPlanet: EtheriaDargo’s hands move in a blur of movement that causes the winds to stir around us. Runes drawn with deft hands appear in the air all around Arkon. The swell of Etheric maka trembles as it pulls from the very air we breathe and moves to his will.His control of maka is… incredible. His expression is calm despite his task. In between movements he provides instructions, “Adana’s seventh is arguably the best rune set for keeping Netheric forces from an Etheric body, it slows th...

KalonChapter One-Hundred-Ninety-One: Sha - Part OnePlanet: Etheria“Well, since you survived what I told you not to do, now you get your first lecture from your master,” Dargo begins.“I do not have a master,” I say, slanting my eyes at him.Dargo clears his throat, “As your instructor…”My eyes narrow.He sighs, “As someone who wishes to help you not kill yourself.”My gaze lightens and I nod, “There was little choice to not try it. I could not have defeated the beast without it. Breaking the sixth was not enough. Even if I had m...
Happy New Year / Schedule
Dear Patrons, I hope you all had a great year. Hopefully 2025 brought you lots of good memories and success. HTG hasn't been getting much love, so I'll be pumping out a few chapters of that this week. Apologies for the delays. On a better note, I did end up writing roughly a third of book five for HTG, so when we get there in a couple months, it will be really fast postings. ROD book two is almost finished, I have half of the final fight written up already, just connecting all the dots and setting the stage for book three, which will ho...
ROD - Chapter 127 (Mira POV)

One that was born in magic itself and breathed by the fracturing of fate. Mirathane Stormborn, do not take this path lightly, for the fates do not take kindly to those who defy them. Even more so to those who break their laws. The choice is yours descendant of Drakaroth.-Eradel the witch of the wild flame-My feet bound fast across the forest’s soft...
