Great news, everyone! Book 3, where Eric shoes his orc friends all the exciting things he can do with revenants before stepping foot inside a lost city that's effectively a heritage library, is now available on Amazon! I do hope you'll check it out and maybe leave a review, if you're so inclined!
Here is my catchy blurb!
It's a good thing that Eric finally managed...

If you take us out, then we both lose out on what could be the most profitable trade you and your company will ever make, opening up opportunities for your future unlike anything you'll find, anywhere else. And don't expect anyone else to be making offers for this land either, once the DI Interface annou...

Jack and Marsha were staring at Morlekai and his sister with expressions that were equal parts fear and fascination. “You guys actually want to do this mission with us? You do know it’s for um… students, right?”
“That won’t be a problem,” Eric quickly assured. “Elonia made it clear that they were more than ...
2024-07-05 04:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostEric allowed himself to slip into a doze that was as much him feeling like he was one with the land as anything else as the miles flew by. He sensed so many wondrous stories unfolding. Tales of hope, redemption, and healing. Stories of excitement and adventure spawning from the mildest of White-tier rifts, where the fates themselves seemed determined to bring any noble hero safely home. ...

“So who are we waiting for?”
Marsha turned to the freckled youth with fiery red hair and a lean frame who was the farthest thing from the powerful six foot tall Javelin thrower he had supposedly been before making what he had declared early that morning was the smartest decision of his life. Yet now the freckle-faced youth looked the farthest thing from happy, slen...

To break all connection with past identities and have his primary persona blend seamlessly into New Arcadia’s capital. Exactly where a rich scion would be expected to gravitate to in times of strife and trouble, just as he supposedly had Freetown, before it had suffered the devastating loss of its...

Almost as lost as the world she had –No. Don’t think it! You had no choice. None at all!–
She choked back a sob, ...

Prince Caliban Caerulus’s gaze fixated upon the globe that had been quietly placed on the finely lacquered hardwood table in the middle of his emergency office. His hands clenched into tight fists, ragged nails at odds with his perfectly coiffed uniform as he glared at the grainy images depicted within.
His beloved Blue Palace. The linchpin of his operations here on Earth, ...

“Brittany! NO! Stay with me!”
The final awful moments of the battle replayed endlessly in Elonia’s mind as she gazed down upon her dying friend, spasming her last on the blacktop surface as her assigned honor guard did all she could to stop the bleeding.
Their desperate efforts to stabilize her friend gave Elonia perilous h...

Eric’s scream was a howl of primal terror and furious despair as he tore through the air so fast he’d bend spacetime itself, if he could, while pushing his gifts...and himself, like never before.
So desperate that he paid no heed to prudence or caution.
Not even when he sensed the hideous weight of a Half-step Silver.
And no mindless...
2024-06-03 04:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's note. Yes, I rewrote the dragon turtle in the Orange-Tier delve to be winged, not shelled, and included Eric using his blade as well as making use of javelins and sling. I may also write in a scene where his summoned runic shield helps him deflect dragon fire at least once, even if barely.
Because if it's going to be on the cover I want it to at least have some validity to the st...

2024-05-31 22:19:29 +0000 UTC View PostVersion one has Eric looking up at the camera after practicing his favorite form of conflict resolution. (Note. The actual book cover might be clean of fallen goblins if the Amazon Algos demand it!)
Version two has Eric glimpsing Queensland and the gate to the otherworldly realm that led to his Gold-tier cultivation class.

Time seemed to pass in a dizzying blur for Elonia, Brittany squeezing her hand so tightly as they were hustled down multiple glossy futuristic-looking corridors of chrome and glass and glittering topaz alloy that Blue Corp had invested so much of itself into making such extensive use of, the corridors saved from too stark a look by the occasional ...

Absolute destruction was promised in the mocking laughter of his foe, waving his blade in deadly moulinets as he taunted Eric one last time. 2024-05-24 04:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Elonia wanted to scream as Caliban’s own men actually stepped forward, and it didn’t matter that the slowed to a stop upon facing Caliban’s glare.

Her eyes widened. “To hear you...

And it made no difference.

Congratulations! You have SUCCESSFULLY raised your second Underking!
Eric couldn’t hold back the laughter slipping free of his lips as he raced for Blue Palace, the contingent of metallic velociraptor extras he had somehow made not quite able to keep up at anything faster than fifty miles an hour. Not without tearing both themselves and the road up, but he knew just where to park his treasures as the magnificent city tower came into view.
