2026 Plans and Schedule

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 22

As an Apocalypse Dragon, the void was like a second home to me. My blood pulsed within me, and my core grew warm. There was no air to breathe in the void, but my chest was moving with the gentle thrum of otherworldly energies.

I realized I was instinctively drawing in energy from the Kindling Dimension and siphoning it into myself. While not as good as eating, this natural respiration wou...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 21

The Chaos Raven was fighting Ted. Though I'd encountered him before through proxy, this was the first time I was meeting the Chaos Raven in person.

This bird had offered power to the man I knew as the Lich King. The infighting he'd caused had left San Antonio a broken ruin by the time I found it. He was less nosy than the other Chaos Gods, but I always got the impression that he was older...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 20

I realized I was rapidly transforming into a dragon.

The seal I'd been working on the past few months was falling apart, and scales were starting to show through on the backs of my hands like a thin layer of paint were being worn away.

Perhaps if I'd focused on myself entirely I'd have been able to seal the effects of my Chaos Dragon title, but I'd been splitting my focus between my...

Amazon Apocalypse Short: In Pursuit of Forbidden Knowledge

Long Ago in the Arcadia Multiverse...

Jai Mei felt a chill running through her body despite the sun beating on her back and head. It was in the full heat of summer, and when winter came her condition would only worsen.

When her cultivation talent was tested, her spiritual roots were so powerful and so strong that her local sect needed to bring in a Nascent Soul expert just to test...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 19

Adrian dreamed.

It was as strange and vivid as his memories, but these couldn't be his memories. In the dream, he'd battled monsters the size of planets, forged treaties between enormous empires, and led a broken band of war-torn refugees to a world where they could wait out the war in safety.

He even remembered dying, though he hadn't gone quietly. He'd kept his body toget...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 18

When we left, Bridget was dressed in all the hastily-assembled finery she could manage. She probably would have spent the whole day dressing up to meet royalty and agonizing over her first impression, but Adrian's fate was weighing too heavily on her mind. Ted said we had several hours to meet him, but we'd rather be early than late, so we left mere minutes after he did and ended up beating him...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 17

I waited impatiently for the Mucaria mystic realm to open up. If Adrian was missing, I had to search for him. But first I needed to find Bridget. She'd know where to start the search.

When the mystic realm opened up, I was the first inside and rushed to her apartment. The teleportation arrays and trains to get around the mystic realm would take too long, so I just flew.

I opened the...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 16

Camlaan settled down nicely as I ushered in the new administration. I'd underestimated the ambition of some people in court and had delegated a lot of my work much faster than expected. That was perfectly fine by me, since I had a new fabricator in space to play with, and it had just finished printing a giant mech suit for me. I couldn't wait to show Adrian when he got back.

But as I had ...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 15 [Adrian]

As far back as he could remember, Adrian had known he wasn't quite the same as other children. As he understood it, most babies were supposed to be groggy-eyed sleepy things that hardly did more than cry, eat, and poop.

And truthfully, Adrian had done all that for a few days. But after that, fuzzy thoughts started taking shape in his mind. Walking and talking felt less like learning a ski...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 14

I spent the next hour consolidating my hold over the city. Much of the city's nobility was dead. Offices needed to be filled and jobs needed to be assigned.

Coming in firing spells and killing people wasn't the cleanest way to take over, but it certainly left an impression. Now that I was literally ripping up the vassal treaty, I had no intention of allowing a second rebellion to take pla...

No post today, here's a gif instead.

Hey guys, if you're seeing this I wasn't able to finish a chapter today. I'm halfway done with it but that's as far as I got as of uploading this contingency.

Instead, have this gif of Myrina aggressively flashing you (Go to the imgur link to see the gif instead of the still image.)

(Link if you can't click the image: ...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 13

With the Grand Sage giving out the call for surrender, the remaining officers followed suit and their units threw down their arms. Truthfully, I hadn't expected them to keep fighting as long as they had.

But perhaps I shouldn't have been so surprised. I'd already peeled off the bulk of the Sages disloyal forces with my gifts and aid, so most of the lords of Camlaan hadn't even shown up fo...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 12

I sent the scouts out before we even left New Kyoto. Sure enough, the forces of Camlaan were standing around as they waited for their Oni allies to arrive. This strike was planned to be quick, so their army hadn't even brought camping supplies. From the communications I'd intercepted, they were supposed to be storming the gates of Crownhill before nightfall.

Instead, the Sages, a thousand...

What do you want to see in book 7?

Hey guys,

It's time for another of these. Normally I do them between books, but the separation between book 6 and 7 is a bit unclear because part of the ending for #6 has been moved to #7.

But that doesn't mean I don't want to hear from you guys! This is the thread to make your voices heard.

What do you guys want to see?

More of Liliana the Sorceress? More of Seraphyne?<...

The City of Crownhill (As of book 7)

Hey guys, my artist from the Spellheart series (Titi-artwork on Deviantart) drew Crownhill for us!

This is roughly how it should look by the end of book 6, with the multiple districts and shield included.

As I mentioned before, no chapter today. Family stuff. Sorry! I will hopefully have another chapter of book 7 by Wednesday or so.

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 11

If my information was correct, and I was pretty sure it was, there was an Oni army headed toward Crownhill. Some remaining forces in New Kyoto must have assembled a teleportation array capable of reaching all the way to Onibushi.

In all likelihood, the city that was briefly in human hands had now been overthrown again and was once more in the hands of the big clans from Onibushi. Not that...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 10

The return to Crownhill went smoothly, and half the Nineteenth Legion arrived without issue, invited in by me. Toward the end, the System started putting up some resistance to allowing so many foreign-born warriors to enter the shard, but that was alright. It just meant any wounded could be immediately rotated out for fresh reinforcements. Perhaps eventually I could find a way around the rule.<...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 9

I spent the next few days bouncing between talking to Lydwyn and snooping. The way I was doing it was embarrassingly simple, and I probably should have thought of it ages ago.

Governess had a bunch of cell phones already programmed to be fully remote controlled. All I had to do to turn them into spy devices was put them somewhere they wouldn't easily be found.

At first I tried mount...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 8

While Adrian enjoyed his youth, I worked harder than I ever had before. Before I was a father, I found governing Crownhill tedious and easily put off. I was happier tinkering in my barn or exploring distant worlds with Myrina and the others.

I'd heard it said that men don't truly grow up until they become a father, and I felt that now. When I promised Bridget I'd do whatever it took to ma...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 7 [Lydwyn]

Lydwyn, in the capital of Camlaan

Lydwyn had always been one of the least among the sages. Truthfully, she still felt like an acolyte before the others.

She was the youngest of the Sages of Camlaan, after her predecessor failed to survive the integration of their original world. Bonding with the Ark and gaining the position of sage had come suddenly, since before ...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 6

We returned to the castle, and from there went to Sanctum. Adrian and I were soon searching through Sanctum for the most impressive bug we could find. He stared hard at the empty city we walked through, which seemed eerie even to me.

"Is this place haunted?" Adrian asked nervously.

"I don't think so. If it is, don't worry. I have a spell. I call it ghost-bye-bye." I held up my hand ...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 5

I asked the other regulars in the pocket realm and learned the kid's name was Peter, and he was one of many orphans in the pocket realm. Lots of children had been at school during the integration. Any that had parents working outside of the city wound up permanently separated from them.

There was an off chance their parents were still alive somewhere, and maybe when the integration was ov...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 4

I spent the next four months doing all the tedious stuff that came with suddenly expanding my territory fivefold. All my time in Crownhill was spent with my family, but my every waking moment besides that was spent chasing down loose ends outside the city.

My reputation in all of the smaller settlements increased dramatically, though not so much in Crownhill. Truthfully, I felt bad about ...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 3

After the council meeting, I went home and talked with Bridget about plans to set up a play date for Adrian. She revealed she'd been thinking something similar already, and with the two of us on board we were just barely able to pry Adrian away from Myrina and Mimiko.

Bridget turned out to have a lot of connections in the pocket realm, probably since she was always stopping by and droppin...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 2

Toward the end of our family vacation, I left Bridget and Adrian in the apartment and went for a little trip of my own. Prince Herius' new world was only a single jump away from Glacia, and I wanted to keep in touch with whatever members of the Nineteenth Legion there were still in my employ.

Prince Herius was still busy with all the business of managing a newly colonized world. Practical...

Amazon Apocalypse 7: Chapter 1

Ours was a worldly family, so we went on a tour of all the worlds we did business with. Truthfully, only part of it was to see to our businesses. Mostly, it was because Bridget was hunting down the rarest and most valuable nutritional supplements in the entire multiverse for Adrian, and taking him to visit the best magical doctors she could find.

Sakura and I would handle the business stu...

Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 71 (Epilogue?)

Grand Sage Balencia, in the Capital of Camlaan.

"My family controlled the western roads leading to the capital since time immemorial! It is my right to claim them once again!" shouted a profusely sweating nobleman.

"You've done nothing but cower in the city since the start of the integration. It was one thing when your family had castles and knights aplenty. Now y...

Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 70

The focused attention of Mimiko and Bridget was expected, but the sharp-eyed gaze of the newborn baby in Bridget's arms was less so. Newborns weren't supposed to do much of anything besides lay swaddled in cloth, sleep, cry, and shit.

Then again, as I looked the kid over I remembered he'd skipped the newborn phase entirely. He was already toddler-sized and clearly had no issues seeing me ...

Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 69 (Nice)

The Many-Mouthed horror snapped at me with dozens of mouths, and I flinched back in nervous fear. Anyone else would have done the same in the face of such a strange extradimensional creature.

I tried to examine it, but got nothing back. The System was dependent on real physics to estimate the levels of creatures and things that weren't integrated, and this extradimensional space adjacent ...
