The entrance to the Placid Cave was unassuming.
A gaping, uneven maw cut into the side of a hill that stood one-hour trek away from Placid City.
The entrance Fiora, Agalei, and the rest of the group were entering from was just wide enough for two people to walk abreast, bu...

It's been a very interesting three weeks for me.
My wish was for the first new chapter to come out this past Monday. Although I had a first chapter ready, the story is now so different that I wanted to have at least the first small arc done before releasing anything. 2024-05-05 19:36:46 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello dears,
I must apologize profusely for not showing up on Friday. I have been fortunate enough to find a wonderful woman to help me with the editing process. In the midst of our discussions, I've come to realize that Death Healer should have taken a different direction. And I know that ...

I'm terribly sorry for this message, but there won't be a chapter today. Life has caught up with me in unpredictable ways and I'll have to skip this release.
I'll see you on Friday!
