The Creeping Death wasted no time in sending out an opening shot. He cast a few balls of water at the enemy army, they flew comparatively slowly, up and out, each about six feet in diameter. That wasn't small by any means, but it wasn't enough to ...

2025-08-01 00:44:29 +0000 UTC View PostSorry, I came down with a very bad flu and I won't be able to post today. I might still do 2 chapters this week, depending on how long this bug sticks around. Pretty ironic that this is the chapter I'm too sick to write, tbh. At least I'll have a ...
2025-07-30 16:10:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe trumpets sounded the wake up call, and Brin started his count, a soft tapping once per second, audible only to the members of his Lance. Normally, this would be a time that everyone donned their armor before leaving the tents, but he’d heard...

Today's chapter is looking like it'll be pretty late, possibly as late as tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.

2025-06-06 15:39:55 +0000 UTC View PostI think I'll make a few adjustments to the Class Selection chapter. Mostly, a few people pointed out how Confusionist looks too similar to an adherent of Confucianism and now I can't unsee it. He'll probably end up calling it [Wyrdic Illusionist] ...

We're getting close to the end of Book 4, so I thought I'd jump in and give you a little update. In a way, it's such a weird feeling to be here. This book really just jumped out of me and it was a real pleasure to write. Brin is...

2025-05-02 19:44:59 +0000 UTC View PostBrin didn’t know what the goblins’ plan was. There wasn’t a gate near the section of wall that the goblins approached, so there wasn't an obvious point for them to make their assault. He could only assume they planned to either climb up the ...
