Sorry to leave you guys hanging on that cliff after the last Heaven's Laws chapter. I've been tight lipped because I have a tenancy to say too much. So one of the things I've been doing the last two weeks is making sure the cultivation system that was started in Heaven's Laws Prodigies, mainly the Energy Cultivation and the laws Chao and Huifen ...

Jun’s katana was held at ready to the side as he rounded his approach. Mencius did the same with his spear drawn as he circled around the massive bear in the opposite direction. They both stayed clear of the lake so they’d have an opportunity...
2025-08-27 18:47:15 +0000 UTC View PostMany kilometers above the first floor in a floating, five-story pagoda, Divine Lord Isacara observed what was going on below. Her perceptions had reached such a level that there was no place hidden from her senses. She’d been watching the training camp put on by Nathaniel Kane. It was exactly what it seemed. His knowledge and skill shouldn’t...
2025-08-23 14:15:31 +0000 UTC View Post“You’ve already refined the first drop of Esh Vine Nectar,” Zan said, addressing his son who sat shirtless in his old room in the Ice Phoenix Palace. His daughter-in-law was also there. She was once again wearing a blue Ice Phoenix gown and would be helping with her husband’s advancement.
He continued, “As for treasures capable o...
2025-08-23 14:14:38 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a glimmer in her eye as Huifen laid eyes on the Ice Phoenix Place as they drew near. It was like a mountain peak of icy quartz. She’d grown partial to the Divine Spire in their living quarters on the seventh floor, but she’d grown up here with Mother Quinyuan and Sister Pangfua close by. She knew that it would always feel like a tr...

It was made of a divine marble not found on Lifestone. Its durability allowed for intergalactic travel. That wasn’t something they’d be needing it for anytime soon.
Expert Ji, the artificial tower spirit, had given the...
2025-08-09 14:22:16 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 1 is getting close. I've ended up doing some outlining, which I rarely do. The pacing with this book is going to be faster then the first two.
2025-08-09 00:54:03 +0000 UTC View PostI had a false start on where I was starting book 3, but everything is looking good now. Should have chapter one out tomorrow.
Cheers!
Jared wasn’t shy about using his jade to communicate with his contacts at Citadel News who he’d been invited to join this large group of cultivators heading to the Mountain King of the northern gate. He’d only been with them for a few hours and the things he’d seen left him questioning everything he thought he knew about the different Pa...
2025-08-07 14:48:16 +0000 UTC View PostBody Cultivation Hurts has always been a title place holder for this series. So this is a series name, not the name of this novel. The series can stand alone but it's also in the Heaven's Laws universe.
Yes, there is a planned meet up between characters in the future. Think Avengers meets cultivators. Cultivengers? Avengivators?

Giving you guys a sneak peak at the next cover for Heaven's Laws book 3. I'm liking the new artist. They've done the last three covers.
2025-08-05 12:28:32 +0000 UTC View PostNathan studied the trio as they fought the common desert monsters. There weren’t as many demon-zombies this far out except for rarer variants. Even the faster moving ones were much easier prey compared to the desert monsters found this deep into the southern gate. There were large snakes that liked to hide beneath the sand, giant scorpions, an...
2025-08-05 12:24:06 +0000 UTC View PostHeaven's Laws chapters should start early next week. I'll be trying to do Body Cultivation Hurts chapters at the same time since they are both in the same universe. BCH will likely be done first since it's almost complete already.
Cheers!

Vanguard continues.
Prodos’s competition is ranking up. Major Lucius Edwards is a year behind.
Without victory, Earth’s preparation will be severel...
2025-07-21 17:24:27 +0000 UTC View PostAfter winning three of the four events in Vanguard including from the opening day, Prodos no longer had to worry about placement in the last event. It was impossible for them to lose. That allowed them to approach the one-on-one tournament that had been teased since the beginning without the same pressure.
There was also the question of th...
2025-07-16 15:41:35 +0000 UTC View PostStanding alone in a sim within a sim with a tube of chocolate ice cream, Krato Aeneus Raptis watched as his charge ascended to prepare his assault against the four rank D men in defensive position. He’d watched the event from the beginning.
It was unlikely he would ever see his wives and children again now that he was in custody of the e...
2025-07-15 16:43:41 +0000 UTC View PostThe remaining six rank D users didn’t dare to scale the manticore or go around it. The exception was Brendon Black who jumped up to the monster’s side. With a shield in his left hand and Warhammer in his right, he stood lazily as he smirked up at me.
“Are you going to keep running?” the man challenged.
“Why would I leave wh...
2025-07-14 15:56:20 +0000 UTC View PostAfter all the bloody scenes Mia had seen since Freedom had begun almost two years ago, rarely had she seen such a beating. Unlike the last four rank D users, Brendon Black didn’t rush in to face off with Mel. There were seven of them against one. Instead of clearing the distance when their bolts didn’t seem to work on him, Brendon kept his m...
2025-07-13 19:23:11 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Brendon Black and his men were halfway to the central flag array with Lethal Accord not far behind, Ebrima Okoro appeared at the podium with the last flag. It was the very one they had failed to capture.
What was surprising was that Ebrima was alone. He stood there momentarily as if he wanted Brendon to see him. Then he turned around,...
2025-07-12 14:44:22 +0000 UTC View Post“Lethal Accord, takes the lead!” Mr. Rachet proclaims.
“It’s coming down to the wire,” Bolt replied, looking at the timer.
1:11:59
Giving Mia an apologetic look, Mr. Rachet continued, “It’s due to the long-term strategy of Lethal Accord. They have more rank D users, so they’ve been able to fiel...
2025-07-11 16:03:44 +0000 UTC View PostTwenty-four hours into the event, we were returning what would likely be the last of our “easy points”. Not that fleeing from a dozen rank D casters could ever be easy. It wasn’t even our intention to continue antagonizing Brendon Black and the Forefathers. They were just our only real competition when going after these the flags captured ...
2025-07-10 16:10:57 +0000 UTC View PostIt was like Lethal Accord had been waiting for this moment. Even if it wasn’t obvious to the battalions that didn’t have surveillance on every base, it was to Prodos. I had only just sat down to eat dinner when Destiny relayed it to me and the intelligence team.
The three major players all had a squad of rank D users by the central fla...
2025-07-10 14:23:49 +0000 UTC View PostLethal Accord and The Burden Bearers captured their first flags with little effort. They both had similar strategies even if they used different approaches. Thirty-one rank D users gave Lethal Accord the advantage in overall military might. They had several powerful squads with multiple rank D members a piece lined up along the path from their b...
2025-07-08 15:51:31 +0000 UTC View PostMia and the metacaster panel were on the edge of their seats as the Forefathers retreated only to use their auras to leap up to the top of the maze walls. Even if they were holding their breaths while their shields were down, the gas also affected their eyes. Many of them struggled momentarily, but someone figured out that intensifying your aura...
2025-07-07 17:57:31 +0000 UTC View PostThe longer the Forefathers waded through the gaseous compound, the faster they moved. Much of Prodos had run ahead in force to be ready for a fight on their way back from capturing a flag. The mortar team was there guarded by a platoon to secure the entrance to the arena. There were several teams behind them in the maze and upon the walls at the...
2025-07-07 14:18:47 +0000 UTC View PostWhat I saw below caused me to think well of the battalion in my sights. They weren’t a major player and didn’t have any rank D users, but they had two lines of men facing off against their Manticore King. The front row of forty focused their rank E psionic bolts on the creature. The row behind them was the same except they wielded modern fir...

“I’m just concerned that Brendon Black is going to make things difficult for Lucius, is all I’m saying,” Mr. Rachet insisted from where he sat next to her.

2025-07-04 16:02:16 +0000 UTC View PostFor the last week until the event, I continued my training with the same relentless fervor. Except for a few meetings, the development team, and my time with Victoria, I didn’t even see anyone else. Destiny didn’t count, of course. As much as possible, my life became one of aerial combat. Not just free falling from above and surviving. I was...
2025-07-04 12:00:38 +0000 UTC View PostThere wasn’t a day that passed that I didn’t improve. Even though it probably would’ve been wiser for me to sleep more often, I tried not to. About once a week my mental fatigue caught up with me and I slept when Victoria did.
She attached herself to my side as we slept. It made me feel bad that I didn’t allow it of myself more oft...
2025-07-03 19:07:07 +0000 UTC View PostMel’s time came sooner than we expected. It was just a week later when he broke through. Victoria had been keeping a close eye on him, commanding he make his way to the recovery chamber before he broke through.
I only made it after he’d broken through. Even Krato insisted I go to congratulate him which I found curious, but it didn’t ...
