The man who was Xavier Collins but was not Xavier Collins.

2024-06-27 07:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostXavier materialised on the nineteenth floor of the Tower of Champions. He was standing in a dark cave. A fire was burning nearby, the flames making shadows dance on the jagged rock walls. The place smelled damp, and Xavier sensed that there was an open body of water somewhere nearby.
A man ...

Guardian stood atop the wall, on the battlements that surrounded Collinsville. His massive hands were folded behind him, and he stood tall. Taller than any of the humans around him, that was for sure.
He stood rather still, too. Guardian supposed he would understand if someone mistook him f...
2024-06-25 07:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostXavier let the others go their separate ways after they had no luck finding Adranial in the tavern. He returned to his room, somewhere he didn’t expect to spend a great deal of time, but was always a good place to come back to when he wanted some quiet.
He sat, cross-legged on the floor. ...
2024-06-21 07:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe woman scoffed. “I have no idea where you would get one. This one was given to me by my mother.” She paused, and it looked as though that hadn’t gained the reaction that she’d wanted from him. “My mother is A Grade.”
Xavier blinked. “Your mother is… A Grade....
2024-06-20 07:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostXavier and his party arrived in the Staging Room soon after the death of the Dark Lord Altruin. Once the dragon and its rider had been killed—in a single slash of Xavier’s scythe-staff—Xavier had stood at the top of the castle’s tallest tower and looked out on the city, waiting patiently ...
2024-06-19 07:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe bars rose up from the ground, making an awful grinding noise as they retracted into the ceiling. There was another loud rumbling as the earth shook once more.
Xavier let his body sway slightly from side to side, imagining as though he were a captain on a ship.
The reason for the e...
2024-06-18 07:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostXavier, Howard, Siobhan, and Justin spent a good deal of time talking with Adranial and the other members of her party about what strategy they should use for the Eleventh floor. Xavier wasn’t worried about the four of them usurping his party’s record clear, not after they’d spoken for a fe...
2024-06-14 07:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostXavier called an end to the sparring match, much to Howard and Justin’s apparent relief.
“I guess we should find Adranial. See about the next floor,” Siobhan said.
Justin was panting. “Yeah,” he said between breaths. “I’m ready.” He placed a hand on the Staging Room’...
2024-06-13 07:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostXavier stood in the Staging Room after they’d all just opened their loot boxes following the clearing of the Eleventh Floor.
Justin grinned—still looking like a kid on Christmas. He took a step back. “This is a situation where it’s better I show you, rather than tell you.”
T...
2024-06-12 07:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostArriving back in the Staging Room felt like some weird déjà vu.
They had completed the eleventh floor incredibly quickly, and on their first run through.
Despite what Xavier had said to the others, he was a little annoyed he’d lost out on the solo title, but he wasn...

2024-06-07 07:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostConnor Drier did not want to be moved. The rage that split his face was like nothing Xavier had ever seen. He straightened, standing almost as tall as Xavier, and tried to look down his nose at him.
Xavier sighed and cast Willpower Infusion.
On the entire town.

2024-06-06 07:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostXavier, Howard, Siobhan, and Justin materialised in the middle of a small wood, exactly where Adranial had said they would. He gazed up at the trees. The leaves were orange, red. Autumn colours. Though who knew if autumn existed on this world. He didn’t really know how seasons on other planets ...
2024-06-05 07:00:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe two parties parted ways after their conversation. Xavier was deep in thought, his forehead creased, as he made his way up the stairs.
Adranial, Domical, Elsie, and Larson had told them everything they knew about the eleventh floor. They’d sat down at a table near the bar. Sam’s eyes...
2024-06-04 06:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostXavier Collins materialised in the middle of a long hallway, one that stretched farther than even his eye could see. The longer he looked down the hall, the more it looked like some sort of unlimited mirror illusion.
Though he was used to be being teleported by the System by now, and even t...

A man was tied to a chair in the middle of a dank basement. He was unconscious, hanging limp, his head lolling to one side. The only thing that kept him from falling to the floor was the ...
2024-05-30 07:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostIt turned out there was a way to store memories.
In fact, there were several ways, but Adranial only wished to use the one. Though they now had a way to use the System Shop in Collinsville—God, it still felt a little strange naming this place Collinsville—Adranial didn’t trus...
2024-05-29 07:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe world was in order.
Xavier Collins walked through the streets of his base and could barely believe his eyes. The place had been transformed. The first and most obvious difference about his Seed Sanctuary was the fact that it had grown tremendously.
Guardian walked by Xavier’s si...

John looked down at his body.
Everything about it had changed. He was leaner, stronger. When he clenched his fists, he felt more power. The Fire Wolf inside his dimensional space had strengthened too, levelling up alongside him.
Beast and man had bounded fo...
2024-05-24 07:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostJohn Hammond’s hands were shaking, which meant his staff was shaking too. He tried to control it, but his emotions were running too hot.
He felt a bit foolish, being here. He was the lowest level out of the lot of them at Level 20. He should be higher level than that by now. He wanted...
2024-05-23 07:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostXavier gathered Allegra, Melissa, and John together, speaking to them as a group, telling them of his plans. While Xavier, his normal party, and all the other Champions of Earth were back in the Tower of Champions, Earth would need some protectors.
After a good amount of thought, Xavier fou...
2024-05-22 07:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHoward, Justin, and Siobhan took Xavier’s plan rather well. On the surface, his plan to powerlevel others from Earth looked almost like he was cutting his friends out of getting first-clear dungeon titles. And, in a way, that’s exactly what he was doing.
But they didn’t seem to feel a...
2024-05-21 06:31:13 +0000 UTC View PostXavier savoured the moment, breathing in deeply of the fresh air outside of his base. He wasn’t quite sure how he’d managed it, but he’d avoided being teleported by that Death Trap—the same item that had gotten Justin stuck on another world.
He didn’t have any proof as to whic...
2024-05-17 07:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostXavier did not know if what he wanted to do was possible, and there wasn’t time enough to think about whether or not it was. There were only two options.
Either he succeeded, or he fell into the clutches of someone more powerful than himself. And if that were to happen, he couldn’t see ...

I've got a little surprise for you all. I've been working on a book behind the scenes, and the first book in this new series is now complete.
For various reasons, I've decided this book will be going straight to Amazon instead of through Royal Road first.

2024-05-14 07:33:26 +0000 UTC View PostXavier watched as Adranial shifted in her seat. He couldn’t help but see every movement she made as an admission of guilt. But he was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt unless he had a good reason not to. She’d come to him, warned him, after all.
