QuestWright Chapters 32-33
At the start of each month, I tend to do a poll, a "behind the scenes", and a newsletter-like write-up. The poll and behind-the-scenes hits tier2+, while everyone gets the newsletter. They're just additional little things I add in because I enjoy writing them, and I hope my patrons enjoy...
QuestWright: Chapters 30-31
Author note: Minor change. It was pointed out to me by my beta readers that More, as a name, is confusing. "He was with More."...more what? Thus, he will now be known as Thomas Moore. That's all! Remember, if you're interested in joining us for the Reader Quests, post in the for que...
Reader Quests
Hello Questors, Because I like you guys so much, and I thought it would be a lot of fun, I'm going to give out a weekly Quest to all my readers. No, obviously, you DO NOT have to complete it. But you can, and that's a bit of fun we can have as a community. Within my discord you'll find...
Big posting weekend: Chapters 28-29
Howdy folks,It's looking like we're going to have 2 chapters today, two tomorrow, and likely three on Sunday if I can finish editing 34. So, a seven chapter weekend as I do not like how close Royal Road is to our progress on Patreon.You guys paid to read ahead, wouldn't be fair if it was...
QuestWright Chapters 25-27
Here's the last portion of the five promised! I hit a snafu in writing, which is going to set me back a chapter (fixing a portion that doesn't work). Should still hit five chapters next week, but it'll be a little touchy. 10 days till Symphony 1 releases!Chapter 25: A Space to Call our O...
QuestWright: Chapters 23-24
Because the length of this weekend's posting would break past 10k, which can be intimidating for some, I've decided to go back to the old days where I split things. Today is 23-24, tomorrow will be 25-27.Chapter 23: Common SolutionsWhat could’ve happened that would trigger a Quest Chain? D...
A Not-so Quick Update
Howdy everyone,We've got some fresh faces around here with the addition of a new story to our catalog. For those of you who have only just arrived, QuestWright is not my first series. The first book I ever wrote was originally titled Creation, which was later changed to Symphony because it fit b...

Chapter 41: PainFor Walker, the time between his overlay shutting off and turning back on was but a moment. He hoped that it was the same for everyone else. Other than that, there was not much else that was different after the Omniverse upgraded everything after coming here.Which naturally led him t...

QuestWright: Bk 1: Chapters 4-6
When you're done reading, if you have the time or inclination, let me know what you think so far. With Symphony, I spent a long time planning it out, and while I know where this is heading, I'm writing it more from the seat of my pants because I feel like I'll get a better natural flow f...

Welcome to the Secret Project: The QuestWright
So, I've had an idea bouncing around in my skull for a while. What if, instead of focusing on the hero in the story, we look at the guy who hands out quests? And, of those deadly tasks, who assigns them and how?A lot of LitRPG has bounced around the idea of it, but like Symphony, where we dove i...

Chapter 25: TestingWalker looked over his recent gains.It would be easy to say that everything he'd just received impressed him, but that wouldn’t be true. Mainly because its reception went against what he’d told the Founders time and again.Rewards should be earned.But he'd take them, an...

Chapter 21: NullificationWalker tried talking to the Book of Souls for a time, but aside from the general warmth it exuded whenever he spoke, he never received a real response.Logically, he knew the memory didn't exist. He had invented a hypothetical situation, and yet, he'd still been pulle...

Chapter 1: The Book of SoulsWalker stepped out of the metaphysical realm. Of course, no actual steps were taken; rather, a taller-than-average man with a shock of white hair sat in the stone chair of his empty office. The fight with Kwaya had all been within his mind. But even still, as he sat on th...
