Jeremiah stepped back inside, the sharp bite of early autumn nipping at his heels before the door thudded closed. For a moment, the world shrank to the soft tick of the cafe clock and the muted symphony of puppy snores. The air was thick with the aroma of coffee and a faint, lingering scent of shampoo and wet fur — a reminder of the morning’s bath-time chaos.
He glanced toward ...
2025-06-10 23:54:42 +0000 UTC View PostAll tiers should be updated for both stories.
As a reminder, this will be the last Monday chapter for WLTK until July.
Once July starts, both stories will move to their new schedule.
Since I'm not sure how long Saturday editing will go on for, to keep things fair, chapters will be posted on a rotating schedule.
So July will look something like this.

2025-06-09 20:50:40 +0000 UTC View PostA sharp jerk jolted Garrelt out of his restless half-sleep, snapping his eyes open. For a split second, he was caught between dreams and reality—ice caverns, train tunnels, and the memory of Robert’s cold sneer all tumbling together in the fog of waking. Then the world steadied: the soft, bone-white seat beneath him; the dim, steady hum of the train; the glowing blue line on the wall...
2025-06-09 20:40:36 +0000 UTC View PostTo his considerable relief, Jeremiah discovered that all he needed to do was assign a product to a shelf, and the System would stock it automatically. The new items blinked into existence with a shimmer of light, settling into neat rows. A prompt informed him this convenience only applied to newly purchased goods and only up to the shelf’s maximum capacity. Any overflow or bulk orders ...

DO NOT subscribe to any patreon page - mine or anyone else's - through Apple Store apps.

I'll have to come up with an actual drawing sometime, but I feel like this at least gets the vibe across.
So, that was my bad, I posted my Editing doc instead of the real chapter, orz. here's the actual one. Its not that different, but the scene

2025-06-06 01:51:38 +0000 UTC View PostToday marks the release of the Epilogue of Book 1 hurrah! the Chapter was a bit long though, so it was split in 2 parts.
Don't worry though, Patreon subscribers will be getting both at once as they move through the tiers.
Anyway, as always, enjoy!

Now, instead of just being a flat number, Jeremiah will have a set number of each TYPE of bond he can have active at a time.
For instance, right now he can have 3 Attunements and 1 Contract. Anything beyond that is concidered an Auxiliary Bond and will be explained in this chapter.
