Gray's Disappearance [October Short Story]

Hey peeps!

This month's short story is more like a "here is what's happening in the Academy while Gray is having fun in the abyssal hells" type of thing. Everything here is a mild "spoiler" for what is about to happen in Death Lord Arcanist, so if you want everything to be a surprise, don't read, but if you want some insight into what everyone is doing about Gray's disappearance, here you...

Map of the Abyssal Hells [10/30/2023]

Happy Halloween Eve!

I figured I'd share with you all the almost-complete official map of the abyssal hells! What do you all think? I LOVE ALL THE LITTLE DETAILS ;-;

The artist really knocked it out of the park.

Also, I'll be printing it up for posters. Please stay tuned.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

My master punched the man in the throat long before my attacker could swing his own haymaker. The man staggered backward, half-gasping, unable to breathe. Master Elias was much thinner than the other man, and much older, but that didn’t seem to matter.

That man was strong, but to Elia...

Map of the Abyssal Hells [Draft]

Hey peeps!

I wanted to share an update with you. We are getting a map of the abyssal hells for the Astra Academy series! I hope you all like it so far. This is a SUPER rough draft. There are five layers, and the fifth one is just a little circle right now.

BUT, you should be able to see the Wraithborne Orchard pretty well, which I thought you all might enjoy.

Anyway, let me kn...

Here is Gigi the Puppy!

Hey peeps!

Death Lord Deimos Artwork + Update [10/5/2023]

Hey peeps!

Above is artwork of Death Lord Deimos! Canon-wise, he has yellow eyes, tanned skin, black hair, and armor made of bones and steel. The artist really went to town. He's a little hotter than I imagined, but I guess this is fun, too, lol

The Business of Lord Oto

It was a perfectly fine house, so long as I ignored all the dead flies. Their little bodies littered the kitchen and living room, mostly in piles in the corners. I supposed there were also dead mice caught in traps on the rafters, and probabl...

Writing Update + Poll [9/8/2023]

Hey peeps!

Sorry for the slow updates. After I got back from DragonCon, I was sick. o.o

Crown Tournament now has a release day! Nove...
