Hi Guys,
Whew. This has been a hectic weekend.
There are a few things I'd like to say in this post because I want to be completely transparent with all of you.
I'm disabled. I can't really use my hands, but the reason for that is because my upper body itself is a bit strange. The disability itself started a while ag...
2022-04-25 01:07:18 +0000 UTC View PostHi Guys!
From next month onwards all tiers will be following RoyalRoad's scheduling.
I understand this is a decision that will likely cause many to unsubscribe, but the truth is it was already in consideration over the month because writing 30-35k weeks was becoming unsustainable.
I would like to say that this news ...

2022-04-22 12:51:14 +0000 UTC View PostHi Guys!
Today is turning out to be a really busy one (a lot of stuff piled on suddenly) so the next chapter may come a bit later. I'll keep you updated if so, but the overall amount of extra chapters wont change.
Enjoy!

I stood in the middle of a corridor and a headache was forming in my skull. There was alway...
2022-04-22 00:02:06 +0000 UTC View PostMy footsteps echoed across an empty corridor. Murals and tapestries hung on the walls, depicting ages gone by. Priests gave water to the thirsty, and knights fought valiantly against monsters. Each one showed a different good deed enacted by the church.
Above each of the tapestries was the symbol of a single eye.
I was wearing my pur...
2022-04-21 10:58:38 +0000 UTC View PostAsking Amanda about reincarnation was a flash of curiosity. The words had flown out of my mouth, but I didn't regret it.
I wanted to know the answer.
“Are you finally getting sick of reading about Marked ones?” Amanda followed my gaze to the bookshelf as she hopped onto the sofa beside me.
Her crimson hair lit up and she sm...
2022-04-20 10:36:56 +0000 UTC View PostGerial and I spoke deep into the night, and I ended up sleeping in the chair after creating a dirt nest for Gold on the desk.
It was a break all of us needed.
We’d both left the room together sporadically so that the church would know we were both safe. Bishop Kavenaugh couldn't keep the grin off his face.
He didn't seem at a...
2022-04-19 10:48:52 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys!
Familiar chapter title?
I've completely re-written chapter 163! And most of this chapter is new, with some things moved over from the previous chapter 163.
Please make sure to read both, as there have been important plot points covered in the new chapter 163!
Enjoy!

2022-04-18 10:46:26 +0000 UTC View PostHi Guys!
Familiar chapter number? Yes!
I re-wrote almost all of this chapter, so its practically a brand new one! You will still be getting chapter 164, but I had to re-write this one because there was a huge glaring plothole I'd written.
Also, I didn't like the way I'd written Gerial. It wasn't true to my vision of him a...
2022-04-17 10:15:56 +0000 UTC View PostMemories of my previous life flashed through my mind. I’d never forgotten Earth, nor did I want to. My old life held precious memories that I would cherish forever. But it was the memory of my violent death that I had lived over and over again in my mind.
Falling, pain, dying.
Don't hate me for this. 2022-04-16 23:39:18 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi guys!
I wasn't too impressed with the first three chapters of my last book, so I wanted to improve by making the first three chapters of this book impactful.
I've loved what I've written! (sorry if that seems cocky haha, I just like improving)
Enjoy!

Whew, I woke up with a big old feeling of imposter syndrome. Then I wrote this chapter and it went away, woo!
Enjoy!

My guard held Gerial in his arms. Gerial’s hand hung limply towards the ground, blood dripping off his fingers and into the water. The sight of Gerial’s injuries kicked me into action, ad...
2022-04-15 23:09:28 +0000 UTC View PostThe sword sliced at my head, barely missing my cheek as I ducked underneath it. That was a mistake. My opponent’s leg kicked out from below, pushing my right foot to the side and breaking my stance. I tumbled and a flash of steel was the last thing I saw as the sword plunged into my chest.
"I win." William’s triumphant voice echoed in ...
2022-04-15 10:45:22 +0000 UTC View PostThe person responsible for trying to turn me into a slave was standing in front of me. Heat washed off him in waves and his silver eyes bore holes into my head. I was expecting to see anger, and fury.
There was only indifference.
“Are you accepting the claim?” Ignatius’s icy voice sent a shiver down my spine.
We stared at...
2022-04-14 23:57:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe aftermath of master Strand’s attack taught me an important life lesson. I can't leave an unconscious body in the middle of a hospital and skip the paperwork.
"You're lucky you have friends in high places.” Gerial spoke.
The authorities arrived a few minutes after everything was over. They’d cleared the area and taken Master...
2022-04-14 11:02:34 +0000 UTC View PostWhew! Sorry for the delay.
My computer suddenly updated, then my internet went out.
I may come back to edit this chapter.
Book 3 is finished! (a couple of epilogue chapters to tie things up incoming)
I finished this book in 27 days (ish) and its the first time I've finished a book within a month. Its a very emotional mome...
2022-04-13 11:33:49 +0000 UTC View PostHi Guys!
Sorry for the late chapter, I spent a solid 11 hours on this one.
I may come back to see if any other edits/changes need to be made.
Enjoy!

Please note that the Mythic Magician tier will be following the regular RR schedule as of the 1st of May. This does not include the Friday and Saturday (AEST) at the end of April which will still have extra chapters posted.
Enjoy!

2022-04-11 11:15:31 +0000 UTC View PostA shadow crossed over mine as Gerial walked beside me. The sound of our footsteps pressing against the stonepath filled the air. The museum towered over us, a single building floating among a storm of mana.
“Anything to report?” I asked calmly.
The air whistled across my body, spinning across my ears, and bringing a voice with it...
2022-04-10 11:19:29 +0000 UTC View PostThere were things in this world that took me a long time to piece together. Their customs were different from Earth, and so was their food. Magic was in the air and something I thought was normal could turn out to be a glamour.
"Little Bob’s a golem?” I smacked my palms on the table in front of me. “Are you sure?”
I’d met t...
2022-04-09 23:40:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe quiet atmosphere of the bookstore settled around me as I gazed down at little Bob. I thought the child was reaching for my inventory, but he had actually wanted my wrist.
"Sorry little guy, I'm not going to be going anywhere with you." I spoke. "Where’s your dad?”
I took a step back and little Bob gazed at me in confusion. He...
2022-04-09 10:54:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe next two days passed without incident. Roxxy warned Amanda about the connection magic, and my guards confirmed that it was possible. I’d also gotten the time to rest. The more I thought about it, the less I was convinced that Bob had anything to do with this.
“The Gesti are an immortal household, they don't tend to drop ice cream o...
2022-04-08 23:57:24 +0000 UTC View PostRoxxy stood alone in the hotel corridor, a hint of cool air brushing past me as water mana spread around her. She was keeping up a defensive bubble, but it wasn't for me.
"Of course we can talk.” I spoke.
I moved aside and she walked inside, her eyes darting from side to side.
“Amanda’s not here?” Roxxy asked.
"Yo...
2022-04-08 10:11:56 +0000 UTC View PostI stood up as Roxxy’s voice crashed into my ears, rushing towards the door with William. Gold squawked, flying alongside us, heat brushing against his feathers.
The door had already been opened, Gerial disappearing through it.
[Mana Sense].
The moment I entered the corridor I saw the source of the heat. Amanda's door...
2022-04-08 00:00:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe sound of chirping drowned out the dripping of ice-cream as it fell onto the floor. I didn't move. Amanda had placed the dessert upside down onto my head, and then squashed the ice cream into my hair.
“I-I am so sorry.” Amanda’s eyes were wide. “I'll grab a towel. Or some napkins.”
“I'll go with you.” Roxxy appeared ...
2022-04-07 11:07:05 +0000 UTC View PostMy heartbeat quickened as I looked at the card in my hand. Bob was a Gesti, or worked for them. I went over the conversation I'd just had. None of it had been sinister, and I'd sensed no ill intentions.
His kid had been the one to approach me, not him.
“Did you enjoy your R&R session?” A voice called out to me.
It was W...
2022-04-06 10:41:18 +0000 UTC View PostFive hours later I stepped off the roller coaster.
Okay, it had only been five minutes, but it felt like five hours.
Whether or not I’d screamed was nobody’s business. What happened on the roller coaster stayed on the roller coaster.
Amanda wasn’t as confident about roller coasters as she'd looked. It was a pleasant surpr...
2022-04-05 10:40:44 +0000 UTC View PostMy heart pounded against my chest as I listened to Gerial. He’d said that the Gesti were claiming me, but I didn't know what that meant or what repercussions there would be. There were too many unknowns.
“We need to talk about this.” I spoke.
Gerial glanced over shoulder towards the lobby door.
“We’ll do it when there...

2022-04-03 11:04:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe portal disappeared behind me as my friends stepped through the door. Amanda and Roxxy stopped in shock as they viewed the cities in the sky above and even William looked moved.
“This entire platform is one of nine entrances to Gesti Sky.” My grandma’s voice floated into my ears.
We stood on top of an empty dock, and I could...
