World Sphere - 64 - Captivating Beauty

Chapter 64: Captivating BeautyWe had hours to warm up, and I was scheduled to fight second this time which meant Pascal was bumped to third. Since the barracks sat right next to the training yard, we had front-row seats when the Harbinger-class ship descended.It was massive with a polished hull, but...

A Soldier's Life - 417 - Sanctuary (minor edit 7-5-25)

Chapter 417: SanctuaryIt was half a day before the ship set sail. The Salty Widow’s hold was filled with crates of provisions and supplies. Their flag had a black background with a golden burst behind a white skull. It lacked the dagger stabbed into the skull, which represented the Death Hunters. ...

A Soldier's Life - 416 - Necromancy 101 (edit 7-5-25)

Chapter 416: Necromancy 101The Hierophant looked down at the fawn and then at Evie. “Necromancy is not like other magics. All other magics take raw aether and convert it into their respective affinity. Necromancy takes life essence and transforms it into death essence. When you push aether through...

A Soldier's Life - 415 - Indoctrination (needs a different title as I didnt cover as much as I hoped in the chapter)

Chapter 415: Indoctornation“She is an otherworlder?” Elyssara partially asked and partially stated as we prepared to leave her office.There was no point in denying it, and it explained her young age and powerful affinities. “She is,” I confirmed.She nodded slowly at Evie, trying to be reassu...

A Soldiers Life 277 and 278 moved over now

A Soldier's Life - 414 - Alhur's Journey (compiled and edited on 6-29-25, 5900 hundred words)

Chapter 414: Alhur’s JourneyAlhur had assassinated one hundred and seven men in service to the Kingdom—most of them Telhians. He remembered each one with perfect clarity, and each had been, in his mind, necessary. He had killed countless more through less subtle means. Now he was travelling half...

A Soldier's Life - 414 - Alhur

Chapter 414: Alhur (yes, I wrote 414 before 413. I think I need to end chapter 413 with them leaving for Sanctuary)Alhur had assassinated one hundred and seven men in his service to the Kingdom, most of them Telhians. He remembered each one in detail and each one as being necessary. He had killed co...

Don't wait up tonight, but the chapter is in progress!

Seraphim subs - don't worry, I am halfway through the Alhur chapter but not going to finish tonight. Since I was only able to write three chapters last week, I will definitely write four chapters this week, so I will probably write on Sunday.I edited chapters 288 and 289 of book 5 this afternoon...

Town Builder - 104 - Mage College

Chapter 104: The Mage CollegeThe darkness was complete. Mild panic echoed down the defensive wall. A few fireflies were dancing in the distance—no, not fireflies, but magical items with glowing gems. “The darkness is not complete—light spells!” I yelled. Of course, most players never bothere...

World Sphere - 63 - Dungeon Economics

Chapter 63: Dungeon EconomicsCallem seemed to be enjoying developing a dungeon delve team more than I was. As we walked back toward the skyship platforms, he was deep in a one-sided conversation, rattling off a verbal training montage he was already compiling for Sammie. He had some guesses about he...

World Sphere - 62 - The A Team

Chapter 62: The A TeamI sat heavily on the bench beside Aelyn, too drained to remain standing. The damage from overdrive with my lightning reflexes spell lingered more than the bruises Callem had inflicted. Callem joined us and announced, “We are ready.”A short man entered, handed Callem a folde...

World Sphere - 61 - Callem's Killing Intent

Chapter 61: Callem’s Killing IntentEarly on the morning of the seventh day, I made my way to Ennet’s house to meet Callem. When I knocked, Aelyn and Wynna were already inside, busy making breakfast. I joined them quickly, drawn in by the smell of cooking and the warmth of the hearth.Aelyn kept g...

A Soldier's Life - 413 - Unexpected Complications (edited 6-29-25)

Chapter 413: Unexpected ComplicationsExhausted young men trudged toward the Citadel alongside us, their steps heavy from training and upkeep of the stronghold. Their faces reflected a wide range of origins and lands, though nearly all were human. I spotted three elves among them, one of them a woman...

World Sphere - 221 - Magitech (minor edit 7-12-25)

Chapter 221: MagitechEvery time I started to think I had enough gold, something always came up that required more. Loriel wanted me to create a shield for Skyhold, the capital city of the islands, encompassing the city and citadel. Even though the city was smaller than Myththorne, I did not have the...

A Soldier's Life 275 and 276 moved over from Seraphim

Since the editing has caught up to the releases, you should go to the collection titled final edit. This is the final edit of the plot, but it will still be going to an editor before publication.Tonight I am writing World Sphere 221 and watching the Pacers/OKC. About a third into writing the chapter...

A Soldier's Life - 412 - The Citadel of Veilmark (minor edit 6-24-25 +200 words)

Chapter 412: The Citadel of VeilmarkI could hear the others talking well into the night, long after I had bathed and nestled into fresh sheets on the soft bed. The griffin down pillow rested under my head and reminded me of Baldo and, by extension, Raelia. Maybe I would send her a message sending to...

Alhur's POV coming soon, but here is another vote for another. I already know what the epilogue is: it will give an explanation for what happened to the ley lines and dungeons to lead into book 8

We have the Alhur POV coming soon and I think I am going to do another POV chapter in the middle of this book. Just four choices:

A Soldier's Life - 411 - 'When The Dead Rise, The Living Stand Together'

Chapter 411: 'When The Dead Rise, The Living Stand Together'The streets of Nausis thrummed with life as night approached. Finding what I sought, I stepped into the shop—a modest herbalist tucked between two carpentry shops. The interior was dense with the scent of dried lavender, rosemary,...

World Sphere - 60 - Training at Twin Rocks

Chapter 60: Training at Twin RocksAs the skyship settled into the docks, I could see my large warehouse. The damaged sections had been completely repaired. I paused. The color of the stone was not very appealing, gray with splotches of black. It was probably many types of stone magically fused.“Is...

A Soldier's Life - 410 - Nausis

Chapter 410: NausisI pulled the small blade from my thigh, careful to stem the bleeding with a steady focus before wiping the blood off and handing it to her. A few drops stained my leggings, but my healing magic kept it minimal. She took the blade, her fingers trembling slightly, and I gave her a c...

Just an update....

I did 3 chapter edits this afternoon and am currently working on Chapter 410 for Seraphim. I probably won’t finish tonight since the hockey game in the background was distracting me. However, I wanted to let you all know that I allowed a Twitch streamer to do a read of "A Soldier's Life&#3...

A Soldier's Life - 409 - (minor edit 6-17-25)

Chapter 409:Sweat dripped from Evie’s small nose, and her thin blonde hair was plastered to her skull. She formed a half-smile as she moved one of the small daggers into a reverse grip, and I rolled my eyes as we had told her many times that was a terrible idea, especially with her terrible streng...

A Soldier's Life - 408 -

Chapter 408:I had our group push a little harder, even though Evie was having some trouble with interval gallops. We reached Donianos well before midday. The high stone walls looked welcoming, and the numerous soldiers walked the battlements. There was a small tent city outside the wall, but it was ...

World Sphere - 59 - Loriel

Chapter 59: LorielLoriel was born into wealth and privilege. Her childhood was filled with false friends and an endless education. Her mother had a substantial inheritance and was forced into an arranged marriage with a Bricio. Her father was a minor noble in the Bricio family with no future, so mar...

World Sphere - 58 - Duel

Chapter 58: DuelAs we stood across from the opposing academy, two men wearing the crests of the mage academy entered. They dictated the rules, which were quite similar to the qualifiers. The biggest difference was that intentionally killing someone would result in a ten-year sentence as an indenture...

A Soldier's Life - 407 - Crimson

Chapter 407: Seeing CrimsonThe early morning sun was peaking through the windows. I ordered breakfast for everyone, and a large spread was ready as they came down one at a time. The food was still plentiful, and it was months before the harvest, but if the dungeons didn’t regain control soon, ther...

Soldier Chapters 271, 272, 273, and 274 moved over from Seraphim

Monday's Chapters Were moved to today as I catch up on editing. Only plan to move over two chapters a week as normal, but some confusion about not being able to access chapters I had edited, so four for Monday, a few days early. Also starting to get into the heavier edits so taking a little long...

A Soldier's Life - 406 - Options

Chapter 406: Versatile OptionsThe dreamscape appeared just as I had left it, and I immediately went to my shelves to retrieve spell forms for the energy affinity. I had three distinctive tomes on the affinity: one from the Telhian Mage College, one from the Esenhem elves, and a third from the Milvan...

Town Builder - 103 -

Chapter 103:Working my way through the NPC auction closing was more frustrating than usual. There were a lot more players and guilds with slots than the last auction. It was becoming a headache. There were no surplus NPCs this auction since there had not been a lot of NPC deaths in the last Incursio...

World Sphere - 220 -

Chapter 220:An Age of War was a period when there was nowhere to escape the conflict. There were always warring kingdoms, but what Loriel was referring to was a conflict that spanned hundreds of thousands of miles. If the World Walker attacks had been an indication of their scope, things were going ...
