"We Lease The Kraken" Public Release Announcement!
🕑 Added 2025-05-18 02:07:47 +0000 UTCHEY EVERYONE!
Making this post to let you all know that the first 9 Chapters of my newest novel "We Lease The Kraken" has officially been released to the public! HURRHA!
If you're interested in checking out the new story, it can be found primarily here.
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/116872/we-lease-the-kraken-a-litrpg-pet-shop-system-story
If you don't have a Royal Roads account, or don't want to read it there, you can also find the chapters in my Patreon collections. Just look for the "Public" WLTK tab! (should be near the bottom).
If you like the story, PLEASE consider Rating and Reviewing on Royal Road. That will go a HUGE distance in these early days to getting more eyes on this story.
To the current subscribers reading Alpha Strike, don't feel left out though. That DOESN'T mean I'm abandoning this story. In fact, now that I've got most of WLTK ready, Alpha Strike looking to return to 2 chapters per week in June. WOOT!
Right now the schedule looks like it's going to looks something like;
WLTK -
Day 1: 8 Chapters, including the prologue.
May 16th - July 1st: One Public chapter a day, with breaks on Sundays.
July 2nd Onward: 3 Chapters a week, on Monday - Thursday - Friday.
Alpha Strike -
May 16th - JUNE 1st: Monday releases as it has been recently.
Month of June: Variable. At this point the "big rush" will be through. If I have time I'll be able to push out a extra chapter a week.
July 1st Onward: Alpha Stike will be back to Tuesday and Thursday releases, as Saturday is my Editing day while I'm preparing for Alpha Strike Book 1's Amazon release.
Once Book 1 Editing is done (TBD): Tuesday - Thursday - Saturday.
====================
SYNOPSIS
Jeremiah Bridge had it all.
A clear path to becoming an inter-planar veterinarian, a life of privilege in Prima City, and the unwavering support of his brilliant sister, Sarah. But everything crumbles when Sarah, a renowned artificer and humanitarian, is framed as a villain and killed in disgrace.
Branded by association and cast into the chaotic streets of Nexus — a world where magic, technology, and myth collide — Jeremiah is left with nothing but questions, grief, and a strange pendant pulsing with mysterious power.
When the impossible happens and he is chosen by the System, Sarah’s final, unfinished masterpiece, It pulls him into a world of impossible creatures, cryptic bargains, and shadowed truths Sarah never shared. But the System doesn’t just promise power or survival; it’s a puzzle whose consequences ripple throughout his life, and possibly all of Nexus.
There’s just one thing he can’t quite figure out…
Why does it want him to open a pet shop?
Now, armed with nothing but a stubborn will, his sister’s legacy, and a store he never asked for, Jeremiah must uncover the truth behind her death, survive the streets of Nexus, and unlock the true purpose of the System she left behind. All while trying to find a good home for some good boys.
Because this isn’t just about pets or profit.
This is a story about revenge.
This is a story about grief and redemption.
And most importantly, this is a story that might change the fate of the last bastion of life in a universe of Stagnation.

WHAT TO EXPECT
♛—————————♛
— This is a story about healing. Jeremiah isn't in a good place at the start. He's angry, frustrated and grieving. He's going to make mistakes, push people away, and complain. But he isn't going to stay there, either. This story is just as much about Jeremiah healing as it is about superhero battles and fun pet shop shenanigans.
— Slow Burn LitRPG in a Modern Fantasy setting, where you're just as likely to see Fae and Vampires riding the subway as you are to see Dragons and Superheros battling in the sky.
— Old-school Pet Shop System in the same vein as some of the classics like "Gourmet of Another World", "Number One Dungeon Supplier", "The Innkeeper" and "Black Tech Internet Cafe System"
— MC with Fae-based powers.
— Pet Shop focus! While the MC WILL have his own struggles, battles and adventures, the core of this story is the Pet Shop, and how it changes the environment and people around it.
