Hey all, it's been a while!
Last time we'd talked, I said I'd upload GGN book by book instead of chapter by chapter. That is still happening. However, life has its turns, and my other story, Road to Mastery, did bananas on Royal Road. It will also be published on Amazon soon, which means that I have to focus there for the foreseeable futur...
2023-03-13 09:50:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe wind ruffled Jerry’s hair as he lounged on his heavenly soft chair, watching the clouds roll by above. Behind him, the airship was as lively as ever. The Billies climbed up and down the sails, making minute adjustments as Marcus instructed; Laura was performing water shows for Boboar and Foxy, who never got bored of them; Headless and Bone...
2022-09-14 17:37:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe silence over the death lake could be broken by a falling pin. Everyone simply waited.
Jerry’s forces had defeated Arakataron. To save himself, the Archmage then accelerated his ritual and revived Desistos, the Death Primordial, an entity of unfathomable power. The heart seed they’d planted on Desistos—a spell that would enslave h...
2022-09-12 17:38:00 +0000 UTC View PostAxehand smacked Arotaron with everything he had before looking to the side. A few dozen stone islands away, the skies were filled with transparent, glowing fish and a whale, along with armies made of mist. The two forces entwined and clashed mid-air, forming a magnificent spectacle that Axehand disregarded.
Master would win.
Axehand ...
2022-09-09 17:38:00 +0000 UTC View PostJerry was stunned. What? he thought back.
Come on, kid. We don’t have all day! Just say yes already.
Who are you?
Speaking inside his soul was weird. Who was this person, and why were they asking to be revived? Jerry needed all the help he could get, but his mind went to the black dragon under the l...
2022-09-07 17:45:56 +0000 UTC View PostBoney had never felt like this in his unlife. This power, this strength…
Back when he was alive and full of blood, he had experienced many things. While in life or death battles—of which he’d had exactly two—his vision sharpened, his entire body honed in on the present, the limiters of his muscles were released, and he became the m...
2022-09-05 17:37:59 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
As you've seen, my break is over. I hope you had a great summer, and that you're looking forward to the conclusion of GGN's Book 2.
However, I have some news that are mostly bad for you, but might be good too. Long story short, I have decided to pull Good Guy Necromancer off serialization. After Book 2 is done for every...

There are many news to give you, but I think I'll do it next time. I've spent all day working and I'm spent right now...so just enjoy the chapter. The final battle begins!

For the second time in a short while, Jerry was plunged into dark, cold waters. This time, however, he was in control!
The death energy wasn’t nearly as cold as he remembered. It was tender with him and his group,...

2022-07-28 16:26:00 +0000 UTC View PostAn ancient corpse, a diary full of secret knowledge, the legendary Prism of Death… This hidden cave contained a treasure larger than anyone had ever imagined—only Marcus was disappointed, as there were exactly zero taels here.
“Don’t worry, Marcus, I’ll compensate you,” Jerry said and laughed as if reading Marcus’s thought. 2022-07-27 17:38:00 +0000 UTC View Post
Late chapter, but it contains a ton of delicate, super important exposition, so I had to make it perfect. Enjoy!

“Look, guys! I found the Prism of Death!”
Jerry raised the pearl with a proud smile, stopping everyone in their tracks. They gaped.
“The what?”
They knew what the Prism of Death was. Horace ha...

Enjoy the double release!

Clashing blades and blood-chilling roars echoed through the Mists as Jerry jumped from stone island to stone island. The dark water was calm beneath his legs, only revealing the slightest of ripples despite the tangible tension...
2022-07-22 17:39:00 +0000 UTC View PostA howl cut through the mist, seeming to echo from all directions at once. Another replied soon after, followed by a third.
Everyone looked at each other, suddenly filled with adrenaline. The ambush had failed. They had to run, now.
“RUN!”
Nobody knew who said it first, but the entire group instantly sprinted away, ...
2022-07-22 17:37:01 +0000 UTC View PostA colossal column of black light rose from the lake’s depths to the sky. It was thick enough to fit two people with arms extended and the mist churned where it passed, swirling around the column like a vortex. In fact, the column furiously absorbed the mist and pushed it downward like a direct funnel from the sky to the bottom of the lake.
... 2022-07-20 17:37:01 +0000 UTC View PostEdit change: I realized that some things I'd planned required the characters to be idiots, and we can't have that. Therefore, I've once again made a small change. Arakataron does send a squad of death knights -- a dozen -- to the Dungeon as soon as he senses the disturbance, but it was too late. Jerry and co. leave the place before the death kni...
2022-07-18 17:56:06 +0000 UTC View PostI'm transitioning to full-time writing, and this is the final week at my job! There's tons of work, obviously, so I'll have to miss today's chapter. I'll catch up within next week.
Enjoy your weekend!
2022-07-15 06:42:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe moment the fake Prism broke—or, to be precise, when it hid in the monstrosity and stopped releasing the Curse—an invisible ripple spread throughout the entire world.

In a towering cathedral on a barren mountainside, groups of wizards walked together and discussed in spirited tones. Others sat in lecture halls, listening t...
2022-07-13 17:37:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, I've made a couple of changes in previous chapters:
1) Laura doesn't try to dampen the bone monstrosity's dust tornado, as it didn't make sense.
Enjoy the chapter!

“They’re sad?” he asked. “No, trapped? Are they trapped?”
Billy One moved his hand: so and so.
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” A vein popped on Marcus’s temple. “Come on, boys, try harder; how difficult can it be?”
The Billies glanced at each other, th...

I couldn't get much writing done today -- too much excitement -- so I'll post the chapter tomorrow. In other news, I just signed this story with my publisher!

A tentacle slapped the wall right above Boney’s head.
“KYAAH!”
Another slapped Laura’s calf, almost making her trip. Headless roared in confusion. The terrifying creature behind them continued its silent pursuit.
They had been running for some time now. The tentacle-person didn’t seem able to close...

The dungeon was a place darker than even the black mists above—not due to supernatural environmental hazards, but a simple lack of illumination.
“Let there be light,” whispered Jerry. A spark flashed in the darkness, and a torch instantly came to life, shedding light in a large radius around him. “There, all s...
2022-06-15 17:37:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe darkness endlessly zoomed by, the dry earth below giving its place to more dry earth. Traveling the Mists of Death gave the illusion of wandering in a fake world where space had little meaning.
It was awe-inspiring, in a sense. Terrifying, in another.

2022-06-13 17:37:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe Mists of Death was a place of darkness.
The earth and sky were shrouded in it, and the billowing winds carried the chilling touch of death. Moreover, the visibility was terrible, making the airship float alone in what seemed like infinite, all-encompassing darkness. Only an everpresent glow, like the last ray of a setting sun, prevente...
