Chapter 10
The bamboo near the Quartermaster had split, revealing items inside, and under each item a long sheet of paper hung. As the rest of the Adepts learned how to tie their white belts properly, Ruwen walked to the closest split bamboo.
An inch wide coin made of gold sat inside. The figure etched into the metal had mostly worn away. The handwritten note hanging below it provid...

Hi!
The Grey Warden preparations are nearly complete, so I thought I'd let you in on the details.
This week I'm revealing the cover, and I'm interested in your thoughts.
I hope you are having a great week.
Talk to you again Saturday morning.
Take care,
AFK

2022-08-18 03:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostHi!
I had a decent week writing and I hope to start releasing three chapters a week soon. I want to build up a bit of a buffer though, so we don’t repeat what happened a couple of weeks ago (I missed a Saturday release).
A lot of the progress this week centered on The Grey Warden. I finalized the cover for it (which I will release here this month), received feedback from the edito...

The Adepts assembled before the pillar, grouped together in their Rungs, and Ruwen and Sift stood behind Rung Four. Their disposition toward Ruwen had returned to a deep green, their confusion in the tower long forgotten. The townsfolk had cleared the courtyard but stood bunched together around the outskirts.
The three Founders left the tent and strode to the pillar, Madda...

The stairs circled upward like a corkscrew and Ruwen took his time. At heart he wanted to please everyone and seeing the looks on Rung Four made him feel awful. It was necessary however, because they didn’t deserve to be in the tower’s final level.
The walls of the tower glowed with enough light that Ruwen could see, but as he approached the top of the stairs the light...

2022-08-11 01:56:51 +0000 UTC View PostHi!
A couple of quick notes about this week’s chapters. I changed the structure of the story and tower a little and will go back and fix the other chapters to align with what is in these chapters. So ignore any inconsistencies you see relating to the number of levels and who is on what floor.
Second, I had an exhausting week and never had the time to proofread these before posting...

Ruwen was the last person to enter the third floor and he found chaos. Rung Four stood in a tight group near the entrance, and Sift stood still in front of them. The other three rungs were here as well and they fought each other in a massive brawl.
Unlike the previous two levels this floor stretched at least a hundred feet into the air. A six foot wide pathway wound around...

The ten of them stepped onto level two and immediately found a wall twenty feet away with an arch entrance on each end.
The floor glowed faintly leaving the ceiling in darkness. Ruwen glanced up, feeling a small air disturbance above them. He immediately returned his focus to the doors, not wanting to ruin the point of the level before everyone began.
This level appe...

I just posted a couple of chapters from book seven. I apologize again for them being late, I take my deadlines seriously and hate missing them.
I added some paragraphs in chapter 3 as well detailing Ruwen cleaning up and salvaging some items off his clothes for Fractal. Things like blood from various demons and Infernal Desecrated Soil. I didn't add them to the chapters here tho...

Ruwen stepped out of the tent for the first time, and his skin warmed from the red-tinged sun shining through a blanket of white clouds. Their tent sat at the edge of a courtyard a hundred feet long. In the center of the open area stood a thick pillar fifteen-foot high.
Ruwen strode to the twelve-sided pillar and slowly walked around it. The roughly hewn granite had five s...

Six townsfolk appeared and erected a long table behind the platform. They filled it with bread, cheese, meat, and fruit. Eight large urns of water sat along the table’s edge, and someone arrived every hour to refill anything that needed it.
The Founders had never left the tent, but dropped their invisibility at the seven hour mark to inform rung four they could now leave...

I need to delay the chapters for this week a couple of days. I need more time to figure some things out and I don't want to rush it.
For most of the week I was traveling for work, and usually those trips are really productive for me. But this week, for a multitude of reasons, didn't allow me any time to write.
So my hope is maybe I can release the normal chapters on...

Book beginnings are always hard, and book seven is no different. I'm not completely sold on the direction I've taken, but I plan to write it out for a bit to see if I warm up to it. For those who like such things, chapter one of book seven has already foreshadowed book nine. I really need to write faster.
In other news, my book order arrived and I plan to get signed copies of bo...

The group had three women and five men, all looking like they’d reached their thirties. They all stood over six feet tall with skinny bodies. The top of their ears didn’t come to a point, but they angled more than usual. Ruwen wondered where they’d come from, as he’d never seen them in any books or in person.
Ruwen sat down six feet from them and crossed his legs. ...

“Rungs one, two, and three may begin,” Mist said.
Sift raised his hands above his head, the palms touching.
“Yes, Adept?” Mist asked.
Sift bowed to the Founders. “Rung one will take him.”
“Absolutely not,” Echo said from across the room.
Sift turned toward Echo and pointed at her. “It’s your fault he’s late. You can’t cause t...

Ruwen sat cross-legged on the packed dirt of the unfamiliar tent, and grinned at Sift’s shocked expression. “What did I miss?” he asked again.
Sift’s shock turned to relief before mirroring Ruwen’s grin. He leaned forward from his sitting position and hugged Ruwen. “I worried the worst had happened,” Sift whispered.
Ruwen returned the hug, his throat ti...
