New Story -- Chapter 14
Chapter 14“Welcome, uh, number 32599—”“You can just call me Thaden, if you want,” the Assistant Healer said with a sigh, sitting in one of the chairs arranged in front of the desk the Charee was behind. The chair’s design reminded him of wooden chair with padding on it that he would see in banks and offices...
New Story -- Chapter 13
Chapter 13Thade swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood up.That simple action turned out to be a mistake as he immediately stumbled forward and face-planted into the adjacent wall when he moved too quickly to stop himself. Thankfully, a quick cast of Weak Regeneration was all it took to heal the 1 point of da...
New Story -- Chapter 12
I was originally going to continue The Fusionist book 5 today and Monday, but decided that I wanted too much to get back to my new story. I'll be doing more Fusionist this Thursday and Friday :)This is also a longer chapter than normal, as I didn't want to break it up in the middle anywhere.Chapter 12Thaden loo...
Plans for Jan. 7-12

The Fusionist Book 5 -- Chapter 8
Chapter 8Who is this monster?Obeying the indirect order, Vanders gestured toward two of the other Martials that were part of the “welcoming committee” to pick up the heavily damaged body of the Supreme Provider, a title that Borex had adopted only the month before. Unfortunately for the Berserker, even his great St...
The Fusionist Book 5 -- Chapter 7
Chapter 7A “Provider”?Larek could extrapolate what that meant given what he’d seen of the city and its environs; a Naturalist was someone who could provide the people with food through the use of their spells. He could only assume that any of the individuals who did the same, whether it was killing monsters for t...
The Fusionist Book 5 -- Chapter 6
Chapter 6The volume of Mana wrapped up in the Fusions on his Air Skimmer was much higher than the few Weaken stones he had thrown earlier, and the subsequent explosion as those Fusions detonated was catastrophic, to say the least. Even being 150 feet away, the concussive shockwave spread so quickly and with such incred...
Fusionist resumes tomorrow!
Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that I'll be returning to The Fusionist Book 5 tomorrow! I think what I've decided to do is write Book 5 and my new story in chunks, so I'll write a few chapters Thursday/Friday this week and then a few more Sunday/Monday/Tuesday before switching back to my new story ...
New Story -- Chapter 11
Chapter 11It took a while to get back to the top of what he was mentally calling his main message window feed, where it appeared as though everything of note was logged and recorded. As a Data Analyst, he appreciated the fact that there was a history of his actions to look at and peruse – if it didn’t happen to be ...

New Story -- Chapter 10
Chapter 10Ashcleft Town Guard Virlo sat at the table across from him and didn’t say a word as the story spilled out in bits and pieces. He debated on whether or not to lie or obscure some of what had happened to him, but decided that he was too tired to think of what to conceal or what to change in his story; not onl...
New Story -- Chapter 9
Chapter 9The distance to the cluster of buildings seemed to grow longer as he walked, but he put it down to the fact that he was running on so little energy. He had a feeling he would’ve taken a few breaks along the way to conserve what strength he had left if it wasn’t for the fact that his journey down the road w...
New Story -- Chapter 8
Chapter 8Waking up from a strangely dreamless sleep, Thaden stretched his arms above his head as he yawned, eventually sitting up as he opened his eyes. His back was a little sore for some reason, making him remember that he’d be turning 30 in a few months.Back pain already? Isn’t that something for when I’m 50 o...
New Story -- Chapter 7
(I decided to start with this new story this week and finish with more Fusionist on Thursday and Friday)Chapter 7Rushing through the now-open stone doorway, Thaden barely slowed down as he found himself in a cave unlike any other he’d seen thus far. First off, it was much larger at approximately 150 feet wide and twi...
Plans for Dec 31 - Jan 5
I didn't get as much as I wanted to done this week, what with Christmas on Monday and not feeling the best the rest of the week (sore throat and feeling run down), but I managed to get 6 whole chapters done, at least! With the release of Aetheric InFusion on amazon next Wednesday, my writing will be a little sporad...
New Story -- Chapter 6
Chapter 6Petrified with fear, Thaden stood with his back to the immovable double doors, waiting for the horde to attack him. Despite his Weak Repulsion Field still being active and knowing that it would—hopefully—protect him, it couldn’t alleviate the sheer horror of being attacked by monstrous nightmares wieldin...
New Story -- Chapter 5
Chapter 5Slinking through the cavern tunnels as quickly as he could, Thaden passed through a long stretch of empty corridor without seeing or hearing anything at all. He was tempted to stick to the shadows in between the magical torches that dotted the stone walls every once in a while, but quickly decided that it was ...
New Story -- Chapter 4
Chapter 4Closing his Character Report, Thaden took a deep breath as everything it imparted finally hit him. On the one hand, it was important information that imparted the knowledge that he was currently in some sort of world that utilized a system that reminded him a bit of video games, all of which somewhat made sens...
The Fusionist Book 5 -- Chapter 5
Chapter 5“How do we kill them?”Nedira glanced at Larek after his question, before turning back to the Sand Vultures in the distance. “Explosive spells, fire, and Battle Arts that do wide-area damage,” she replied.So… nothing that I can do? “Why is that?” he asked.“To key is to disperse the sand that com...
The Fusionist Book 5 -- Chapter 4
Chapter 4As they made their way to the east and toward the Surging Aperture, Larek took stock of his current equipment and progression, making sure that he was as prepared as possible for his first real fight since eliminating the last of the Umbral Demons. First, he had a newly made axe from the blacksmiths of the Dre...
The Fusionist Book 3 coming down
I hope everyone had a good holiday! Just a heads-up, to prepare for the release of Aetheric InFusion releasing next week, I'll be taking down the chapters for it on Patreon and Royal Road this Friday to adhere to Kindle Unlimited rules. So, if you haven't read them all yet, you have a few days left to get throu...
The Fusionist Book 5 -- Chapter 3
Chapter 3The western part of the Kingdom of Androthe, at least where Larek and Nedira had entered it after leaving the desert environment of Lowenthal, was relatively empty of anything – be it vegetation, people, or monsters. That only lasted for an hour or so of travel, however, as the dry, arid land quickly morphed...

Plans for Dec 24-29th
I got started with 2 new books this week! I'll be working on a few chapters (my goal is 3 a week) for The Fusionist, while the rest of the time will be devoted to my new story. Here's my plan for next week:Sunday (Christmas Eve): I'm taking this day off!Monday (Christmas): I'm technically taking this da...
New Story -- Chapter 3
Chapter 3Apparently, something had been trying to inform him of things for a while, but he hadn’t known to check for it. It was like having a bunch of text messages ready for him to read, but he’d turned off all notifications on his phone. In this case, however, his phone seemed to be in his eyes… or directly in ...
New Story -- Chapter 2
Chapter 2The process of regrowing his body was neither pleasant to see nor was it quick. As opposed to how fast the repairing of his body went while he had been shot through the air after the volcano, the wait was excruciating and difficult to watch. Unfortunately for Thaden’s consciousness, which was forced to watch...
New Project -- Chapter 1
I haven't decided on a title yet, so it's just called "New Project" for now. I'm hoping to have 1 or 2 more chapters tomorrow! Also, sorry for all the graphic content -- it's for a reason, and it won't all be like this!Chapter 1Taking a step off the curb, Thaden caught movement out of the co...
The Fusionist Book 5 -- Chapter 2
Chapter 2“I… can’t.”Larek sighed, dropping his hand from Nedira’s shoulder.“I don’t understand. We’ve left the tunnels—”“It’s not that,” the green-robed Mage said, turning around and looking straight into Larek’s eyes. He could see that her own were wet, and he reached up to wipe away a tear...

The Fusionist Book 5 -- Chapter 1
So, I decided to write a few chapters of The Fusionist Book 5 each week, followed by a brand-new series that I'm developing. There will be another chapter for this book tomorrow, and then I'll be planning out this new series the rest of the day and a bit of Thursday morning. I'm hoping to have a few chapter...
