Jack felt like he was getting torn, folded, spun, and wrapped around himself in timespace. He was everywhere and nowhere, all the time and never, all at once. The wormhole leading to the Space Monster World was by far the roughest he’d experienced.
The pressure would have annihilated any ...

As the long-timers here know, I take August off every year to rest and recharge my creative juices. I'll do the same this year as well. Next week's chapters will come as normal, and then I'll start my break until early September. Probably the 9th of September. Maybe earlier if th...
2024-07-27 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostCan you guys believe it's been 500 chapters? Because I can't. Seriously. It's, like, wow.
I can't express how thankful I am for all of you. Your support kickstarted me and keeps me going. Now, 500 chapters later, we're still here, slowly approaching the finale.
Enjoy bros. We've earne...
2024-07-26 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe summit ended with a bang. Jack’s clone was taken away by Elder Godspeed—a short, effeminate man—and rushed through the universe to escape any pursuers. They would take a wide route before returning to Earth.
Jack’s main body wasn’t in a hurry. He sat in the middle of the Churc...
2024-07-25 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View Post“We host this summit on the Space Monster World’s request, to let them openly and clearly determine their allegiance,” the Heaven Immortal intoned. “I believe, Overlords, that the truth is clear as day. The Black Hole Church doesn’t even dare to app...
2024-07-24 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View PostThere are times when one feels small. For example, when they’re surrounded by individuals greater than themselves.
This was partially how Jack felt as he sat in the center of the meeting room. It was small, yet imposing. Frescos filled the walls, depicting Old Gods in their moments of glo...
2024-07-23 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe powers of life, death, time, and space swam calmly through the air. They turned around each other, entwining and disengaging, forming and deforming. Where Life and Death met, they yearned to unite. The same happened for Time and Space. However, if Time met Life, or any other combination, they...
2024-07-22 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Second Crusade was meant to take a long time. With the Church hiding away and splitting their forces, it would be relatively easy to delay for decades, if not centuries. The Old Gods would have time to arrive from wherever they were in the universe, and then protracted warfare could begin ane...
2024-07-20 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View PostSup bros! Remember when I showed you some designs last week? Well, I made them into shirts, sweaters, coffee mugs, stickers, and various other stuff. And by made them, I mean I put the designs into a print-on-demand website and it worked its magic. I'm also working on a Brock plushie, but that's ...
2024-07-19 18:26:00 +0000 UTC View PostCaught you by surprise huh? Couldn't help it. Brock is the man.

Jack stuttered. “The Arch Priestess?” he said. “That’s— She’s— Brock! Good fucking job!”
The brorilla’s frown broke into a smile, and then he laughed. “Thanks.”
“How does that even ...
2024-07-19 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostJack opened his eyes to find he was drenched in sweat. He was still shaking. Watching a black hole from up-close was not an easy experience. It was like having a first-row table to the greatest forces of the universe…which sounded suspiciously like the Second Crusade.
The clone h...
2024-07-18 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostBrock’s avalanche of palm strikes neutralized Starhair’s momentum just as he charged past the halfway mark. He was then pushed back. The hands kept slapping, a series of strikes so dense Starhair didn’t have time to teleport away. He tried regardless. A portal opened next to him, and just a...
2024-07-17 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostSophie dropped everything she was doing to arrange the duel. She also informed everyone she knew, apparently, because what seemed like half the New Cathedral arrived with her.
“Hello, Jack, Brock!” she shouted as she flew closer. She wasn’t a D-Grade, so she couldn’t really fly, but...
2024-07-16 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View PostJack opened his status screen. The space monster cores he’d absorbed so far had given him a bunch of levels.
Name: Jack Rust
Species: Human, Earth-387
Faction: Bare Fist Brotherhood (B)
Grade: B 2024-07-15 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View Post
Jack opened his eyes in the New Cathedral. They flashed. A grin played on his lips, and power surged through his inner world.
Sitting in his office, Jack laughed with joy.
“Good job, myself!”
Several galaxies away, his clone had just absorbed the Green Dragon Realm. Working ...
2024-07-13 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostJack held onto Spacewind’s attacking hand, firmly and easily. The man looked like he was having a stroke.
“You have no idea what’s going on, and that’s okay,” Jack said. “I’m Jack Rust. You once mocked me, bullied me, and tried to kill me. I’m here to repay the favor.”

To infinity, and beyond!

Jack’s clone flew through the wormhole, surrounded by dancing colors on all sides. They weren’t really colors—that was just the ...
2024-07-11 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View PostSo sorry bros! I forgot to schedule this chapter. My bad completely.
To make up for my transgression, I have added a little something extra at the end of this chapter. It's the epilogue of Book 5, which you haven't read because I only wrote it this week. I'll add it to the published version...
2024-07-10 19:37:34 +0000 UTC View Post“Let’s come up with a catchphrase!”
Jack groaned. Brock groaned. Even The Stone in Jack’s inner world groaned.
As it turned out, being famous was hard work. Starhair had been assigned as Jack and Brock’s personal assistant, but there was a different person working on their p...
2024-07-09 17:36:08 +0000 UTC View Post“Let’s talk business,” the Arch Priestess said. At a wave of her hand, roots grew out of the dirt floor, forming into chairs before Jack and Brock. She sat back down, and then they did.
“Your breakthroughs were sensational,” she said, her voice taking on a more hands-on quality. ...
2024-07-08 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe New Cathedral was built on a sprawling expanse. A prairie stretched for endless miles. Blades of grass danced, occasionally trampled by the hooves of farm animals. Civilization had slowly started to appear on this beast-inhabited planet, brought about by the Church.
A brontosaurus head ...

It’s important to have a way forward. A guiding line, pulling you towards where you need to be. Jack meditated on that as the starship shuttled closer and closer to the New Cathedral.
What is my path now? he wondered. I’ve saved ...
2024-07-05 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostSup bros! I come with great news about chapter posting frequency.
However, to preface this, those of you in the 10$ tier are not affected by the first part of this announcement. You already receive the best I have to offer. This is more about bringing the lower tiers (and Royalroad) to a mo...
2024-07-05 11:03:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe Iron Maiden groaned. Metal bent. Jack and Brock took a step to steady themselves while Elder Boatman gazed outside the window. Finally, he relaxed. “What are you sitting around for?” he asked Jack. “Go out there and kill that thing.”
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me. You s...
2024-07-04 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Hey man,” Jack said, stepping to the side of Starhair. “Can I ask you something?”
The other cultivator didn’t turn his head. His voice came aloof, almost dismissing. “What is it this time?”
“Why are you being a dick to me? I don’t remember doing anything to offend y...
2024-07-03 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View PostJack teleported inside the bone throne room. White marble was all around. Black columns supported a high ceiling, while a massive, bone-adorned throne stood at the far back, atop a small flight of stairs. The middle of the room held a table with twelve seats, and at the first of those seats sat E...

2024-07-01 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostElder Boatman grabbed a gum worm between two fingers, slurping it in. Jack cringed. The worm disappeared down the vampire’s throat, dead the moment he touched it.
“You have achieved great merit, Jack,” Elder Boatman said. “News of your breakthrough have spread far and wide. The fail...

How have you been? I missed you guys. Me, I took my much-needed time, relaxed, recharged, and I'm ready to kick ass. I've already written a couple chapters, and I can feel how much more consciously I'm able to write now. The words are flowing.

Bros! Allow me to present the first chapter of what will probably be the last book in the series. It might get so long that I have to split it in two, but as you can clearly tell, this is the last major arc. Regular posting continues from today: Mon-Sat, at the usual time....
