This is the final chapter of Book 2!
A quick thanks to all of you who are here as it releases, for supporting the story, and reading along.
If you have not already, I'd love for you to take a moment to rate or review the ...
2025-04-25 13:10:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe helicopter touched down on the landing pad with a gentle thud, pulling Alex from his thoughts. He followed Jonathan out of the chopper, guiding Sam while ducking his head. Wind whipped his hair in all directions, though his blue cloak remained unnaturally still on his shoulders. Several Hunte...
2025-04-25 13:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostJonathan’s eyes widened as he activated his own scanning ability to look at the Rift. The color drained from his already tired face while he read the information.
Damien must have had a similar ability, since he started muttering at the same time. “Son of a bitch. He’s right.”
The ritual lines blazed with unnatural light as they were augmented with white, magical fire. Alex held his arm up against the heat that pressed outward. Where the flame touched the white lines, the mana channeling along its pathways seemed to speed up several times.
“Shit, shit, shit,”...
2025-04-21 13:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Hope you're having a great Sunday. I was just thinking that Spell Weaver Volume 2 only has four chapters left in it.
Rather than having you get only three chapters next week, I'm going to pull the following Monday's chapter and let you all get a double chapter on Friday....
2025-04-20 16:27:04 +0000 UTC View PostAh, fuck. I really hope this doesn’t hurt.
Val, come back down here, but come down in between the two of us so he can’t tell which is which! I need a bit more mana; I’m almost completely out.
Alex stood, overlapping with his mirage in Rylan’s vision, as his c...

Alex reacted instantly by creating a lightning spell circle over his right hand, prepared for a movement skill fr...
2025-04-16 13:00:28 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning, everyone!
This last week/weekend I received some help from several Patrons who offered to be Beta Readers for the end of Book 2!
Just wanted to take a second to thank them for their time and feedback. I feel like it allows everyone else to get a more polished ending to ...
2025-04-14 13:21:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe helicopter’s vibrations rolled through Alex’s bones to the steady wump-wump-wump of the propellers. He sat between Sam and one of Jonathan’s team members, looking out of the small windows at the other helicopters in the air around them. Each carried what Jonathan had called an ...
2025-04-14 13:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe flickering lantern light in the briefing room clashed with Alex’s modern idea of a briefing room. He’d normally see a harsh glow over those gathered, but instead, the warm light made the area feel somehow less serious despite the maps that were spread across the conference table and the h...
2025-04-11 13:00:23 +0000 UTC View PostNot sure if you guys can tell from all of the art I've been getting commissioned, but I love art. In my mind, seeing the story in a visual medium is so freaking cool. I've been an artist much longer than I've been a writer, but writing has definitely tak...
2025-04-09 21:06:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe corridor stretched ahead of the group, and Alex did his best to keep his face neutral.
Behind him, Olivia and Sam stayed close, and Sam spoke up, clearly uncomfortable in the silence. “I’m glad we at least got Craig’s number after all of that. I’d like to visit him when things c...
2025-04-09 13:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning, everyone!
Just wanted to make a quick post! Marco finished the last commissioned that I have planned for Book 1. I love the way it looks, and I feel like readers can definitely tell what part of the story the scene is from.
This project was done by artist: Marco Defillo...
2025-04-08 13:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostAlex stepped out of the SUV and his shoes crunched on the gravel from the side of the mountain road. The air bit at his exposed skin and the smells were fresh and clean compared to the overcrowded cities. They’d parked at a small trailhead tucked away in the Catskills and the weathered wooden s...
2025-04-07 13:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, sorry for the second weekend post in a row, but after yesterday’s poll, I spent pretty much the entire day editing the 30 chapters between Royal Road and Patreon to bring everything up to date based on the poll and other reader feedback...

2025-04-05 12:52:29 +0000 UTC View PostSunlight streamed through the large windows of the restaurant. The buzz of conversation and clinking silverware filled the trendy breakfast-brunch spot. Young professionals hunched over their laptops while others lounged, shared plates, and drank mimosas and Bloody Marys.
Alex’s cloak shi...
2025-04-04 13:00:19 +0000 UTC View PostAlex sat cross-legged on the training room floor, still watching Kazuo’s hands dance through the air. Through his mana sight, he could see the spell take shape like a constellation. There were delicate lines of power that were connected by bright nodes of concentrated mana, which he now knew we...
2025-04-02 13:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostAlex shook the Director's hand while taking in the man before him. Director Matthews had hard, honest eyes with a face lined in a way that spoke to a few decades of hard work in the sun. His suit was immaculate and fit his broad shoulders well, and his calloused grip spoke of someone who had led ...
2025-03-31 13:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostAlex and Olivia stood at the checkpoint with the sounds of the Safe Zone all around them. Val subtly shifted around Alex’s shoulders, his illusion reactivated to maintain the appearance of a deep blue cloak with gold trim. The amphiptere had been unusually attentive since they’d left the Guil...
2025-03-28 13:00:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe setting sun caught the glass windows of the AG's newly developing headquarters. Alex and Olivia closed their doors, his a bit harder than necessary, and quickly entered the college-like campus after settling Valtherion onto his shoulders. The construction hadn't stopped since the podium event...
2025-03-26 13:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostAlex stepped over the blackened crater of his office floor and was careful to avoid the small parts of the boarded floor that splintered and stuck up at odd angles. Soot marked his jeans where he’d knelt earlier to examine the damage. In the heat of the moment, he hadn’t thought of the damage...
2025-03-24 13:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostAlex's back slammed against the office wall, and he scrambled forward on his hands and knees. Not wanting to be a predictable target, he kept moving. He blinked rapidly to clear his vision since the light had temporarily blinded him.
The wind blew loudly, and he heard more pages flying arou...
2025-03-21 13:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostSunlight poured through the courtyard windows, and a cool breeze ran through the large sliding glass door that was open. Sam sat cross-legged out in the courtyard while Alex and Sarah sat at the granite countertop of the living room. Alex was hunched over his leather notebook, its spine starting ...
2025-03-19 13:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostRylan's boots crunched through dead leaves as he stepped deeper into the woods. He was happy for the chill in the air and the long walk to get out some of his frustration and the weight of failure from the day before. His jaw clenched tight enough to ache, and he had to force himself to relax. Th...

2025-03-14 13:00:18 +0000 UTC View PostAlex stepped carefully on the steep, declining forest floor as they made their way down. He heard several distant roars echo through the trees and could feel his pulse begin to quicken at the promise of a fight.
"Val, why don't you fly up top and keep a lookout overhead. Let me know if we h...
2025-03-12 13:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostAlex sat up in his chair after hearing her tone. "Elana? What's wrong?” His eyes came up as they caught the movement of Valtherion lifting his head after hearing the tone of Alex’s voice.
"We've gotten multiple reports in the last twenty-four hours that there is a large settlement of pe...
2025-03-10 13:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostSunlight barely crept through the gaps in the curtains and painted warm stripes across Alex's far bedroom wall. He opened his eyes and savored the quiet of the early morning. Wriggling back and forth within the sheets, he marveled at the luxury of his new bed.
He didn't feel tired. He felt ...
