Hey everyone!

Hey everyone!
Thank you all for being patient with me on this somewhat open-ended break. I'm here to give a vague timeline as a heads-up!
Book four is pretty much done being plotted, and I'm going to dive back into writing this week! I want to get a healthy backlog again before I star...

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a good Sunday!
Just wanted to let you know that I'm pausing the Patreon today for the upcoming break. My recommendation would be not to cancel Patreon during the break! With it paused, no one will be charged, so you'll retain your membership as long as you d...
2025-10-19 19:49:18 +0000 UTC View Post68. Opportunity at the Portal
Alex lay back on the ground, his chest heaving.
Mage’s face popped into his vision, standing over him. His clone smiled down at him and said, “What’s with that goofy grin?”
“Shut up.” He kicked out his foot, hitting Mage’s shin. The clone didn’t react, only raising an ...

Alex sat in the small clearing, legs crossed and eyes closed. The sounds of quiet chatter and cracking fires drifted through the early evening air.
One clone sat in silence nearby, watching his back. Luis had joined the clone after they’d been separated from the group for some time. The q...

Gravity returned to Alex as he settled on the ground. He’d been excited to step from the Rift and back into the real world. Eager for the fresh air of his home world and a short break from the constant eyes on him in their travel across the Rift lands.
He’d also been eager to get back o...
2025-10-10 14:11:05 +0000 UTC View Post65.5 Tempering the Mind (Part 2)
A mental prodding pulled him from his sleep, pulling both eyes open. While his second mind wasn’t able to see around the room, memories of sounds and smells came back to him in an instant, and he knew that Aisha and Robert had come down the hall and were attempting to talk quietly just outside ...
2025-10-09 12:44:02 +0000 UTC View Post65. Tempering the Mind
Alex adjusted his grip on the small bar of chalk in his hand. The powdery residue it left on his fingers reminded him of his first few months as an awakened.
In his crouch, he leaned forward to brace with his left hand while completing the last strokes of the ritual circle. The body temperi...
2025-10-08 12:56:35 +0000 UTC View Post64. After the Sun Fades
Alex’s perception of the world around him shifted as he held the Cadence Stone aloft.
The crowd lining the arena cheered and chanted so loudly that the very air around him shimmered. Fascinated, he focused on the distortion, beating in time to the stomping of human feet at the beating of ...

I had a lot of fun writing this one.
Would love to know what you guys think of the chapter! Leave me a comment!
Hope you have a great Friday.

Dust and mana settled in the center of the arena and revealed itself to be the least chaotic section of the crumbled stadium.
Alex’s mind catalogued his surroundings, multiple minds working in concert as he descended into the stands. [Feather Step] carried him lightly to solid ground, tho...

“I’ll be in the middle of the front section,” Alex said. “I’ll need you guys to stay close and guard me as much as you can. Doing this the entire way is going to take all of my focus. If I let it go, there’s a chance that it unravels and the net mends itself back up.”
“Then ...

The group slowly made their way back to the hollow vein. Most of them were limping or wincing along the way to minor wounds, with Alex using his last healing potion on Robert, Aisha, and another man who’d been badly injured.
No one spoke on the way back. Something felt eerie about walking...
2025-09-26 13:05:05 +0000 UTC View PostAnnouncement: End Book 3!
Hey guys, I'm going to be sending this out to all Patrons and will make a post on RR on Friday.
We're about 12 chapters out from finishing Book 3, which means one month away!
This post is to announce that I will be taking a writing break at the end of this book. I'm not sure how long...
2025-09-24 23:54:16 +0000 UTC View Post59. We Fight as One
Alex followed close behind the group as they ran, feeling his connection with Mage grow closer and getting a grim update of their situation.
“I’m out of mana, and they’re pushing us further and further into the tunnels. I don’t know the way well enough to even tell where we’re...

Robert stared at Alex with wide eyes and a question written on his face. Rather than asking the obvious question of how he knew that specific information, he moved into action.
He called Luis over and gave quick instructions. “Grab Dustin, Eric, and Elyse. You and Droq’shan start guidin...
2025-09-22 13:00:22 +0000 UTC View Post57. Nodework and Narrow Escapes
I can’t believe it works.
Alex walked with the small group away from the cavern while allowing the threads of mana to spin over his hand. He wove them into his newly created control node over and over; the small disc-like shape answered so many of his struggles with his magic. 2025-09-19 13:29:10 +0000 UTC View Post
56. Lessons in Perspective
Alex sat on a small cushion, only half watching as Warrior sparred with Robert. Legs crossed, he watched as his clone swayed to the right, shoulders rolling with the Willow Branch Sways. Robert’s heavy blow passed less than an inch from his chest, though even as Warrior prepared to strike back,...
