Chapter 27: The Investors

Hi Everyone!

I'll be doing the next chapter for this in the next two days! I'm not really sure if it's the right direction, so I thought I'd enlist you all to tell me if you like this chapter or you think it needs work. Hope you all enjoy it, and please do let me know either here or in the Disc...

Quick Update: Billing, Chapters, Release Schedule!

Happy Friday Everyone! 


This month has been phenomenal in terms of growth. I've been blown away by the support for Wildcards. I was made redundant in February and haven't been able to find work since, so having a story that is able to pay for some of my bills is amazing. 

Release Schedule: 

  • I'm going to keep my Royal Road Friday release schedule go...

Chapter 26: First Reveal

Hi Everyone!

Sincere apologies for the delay in getting this over to you all. It was my Birthday on Sunday and I thought it would be nice to give you all another chapter, because I've been absolutely blown away by the support you've all given me. I had all these stretch goals for September, but...

Chapter 25: Prime Evil

Happy Friday Everyone!

I'm halfway through Chapter 26, and thought I'd get this one out to you as soon as possible. I think we might have a double chapter this week. I'm in a great mood with the feedback and banter on Discord, so thanks for that. Hope you enjoy this. Any questions, do let me kn...

Chapter 24: Raid Night

So this is the largest chapter release done so far. Over 6,000 words. I really hope you all enjoy it. Thank you for all your patience and for the little messages of support on Discord and on here. They're really appreciated.

We're now officially more words than Harry Potter and the Philosopher'...

Chapter 23: The Trial

As a thank you to everyone that has supported me, I'm going to release chapters early on Patreon. I don't really have a strategy in place yet, but I think it's fair to release the chapters to each of the Tiers as you all had very little incentive to become Patrons, but did it anyway!

Thanks so ...

Chapter 22: The Follower

Hi Everyone!

Sorry for the delay with this chapter. I wanted to get your feedback on the format for Patreon releases. I'll be releasing this same chapter later on Royal Road, but wanted to see what you all thought of the PDF version. If you have any suggestions, please let me know :)

Crunchy LitRPG - Abilities Draft

Crunchy LitRPG - Abilities Draft

Currently brainstorming how the Abilities work. These are a few of the active abilities that James has received from Dervius. How they operate differently from movement will remain to be seen. I wanted to create an actual slate of abilities that James can use in the game in certain moments. I want them to follow a certain logic and I want him to be conscious of cool-down timers and restrictions...

Chapter 19 - Update

Chapter 19 - Update

Hi Everyone, 

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm alive. I've been working on the next chapter in the Character Creation and it's just been a bit tricky. I felt like it went too heavy on the explanation of the world / exposition. So I've gone back and reworked it. 

Originally I had planned on writing chapters and publishing them as they were ready, but the amount of m...

Welcome to New Patrons!

Hi Everyone! I'll be sending personal messages to each of you. I will be creating the NPC's and Cameo appearances alongside you so we can make the best character possible for the story. 

My inbox is always open if you want to chat! I am still trying to figure out how to work Discord. I'm quite bad at setting up a server it would seem. 

I really appreciate your support, esp...

So, as you can see from my terrible handwriting, my mechanics are going to be put in place soon. This is just a sneak peak at my thought process and will give you an idea of what could be expected. As always, the story is a work in progress and things could change.

This is just a nice reference guide for me, the excel spreadsheets will come later for balancing. But as it stands now, wha...

Where we are now!

Where we are now!

Big thank you to the new Patrons! Absolutely delighted to have your support. Thought I'd post up the current stats of the story, just to show you how far we've come from the start. Lots of wonderful comments and reviews coming in which is just a wonderful feeling.

I had absolutely no expectation of making the trending list, and hitting #22 on the list was amazing. So many new reads and ...

Where it all began!

Where it all began!

Just wanted to post this as a reminder to myself of when I published my first couple of chapters. 6 total views, which was mostly me just checking the story again and again to make sure I didn't screw it up. :)

You'll also see the original cover which was seen as a bit too Eldritch Horror for the genre I was going for. Personally, I love it! The new cover, from the same artist is much m...
