It took Kari and Fay ten minutes to reach the Imperial Royal Palace from the amphitheater. While that still felt like a long time to her, Kari understood that it generally took about two hours to reach home from the amphitheater if they traveled by carriage. The amphitheater was about 54 kilometers away. Given that, the amount of time it took her and Fay to reach her home was impressive.<...

It was not particularly powerful. However, it was invasive. Even though the power was barely enough to activate a B-rank Spiritual Technique, it spread across the city, causing even those who were n...
2019-08-27 15:26:50 +0000 UTC View PostFeinrea felt distinctly uncomfortable as she wandered through the streets of Nevaria alongside her younger brother. It wasn’t the stares. Plenty of the alchemists she trained would stare at her chest, so she was used to that even if it annoyed her. If she had to say what it was that bothered her, she believed that she had just spent so much time cooped up in her office that she could no...

This is just a preview of the reward for this month's NSFW artwork.
I don't know about everyone else, but I really love the idea of a dark-skinned lamia. There's something exotic about them. That was half the reason I created Lin.
2019-08-22 18:23:48 +0000 UTC View PostAfter stepping through the Warp Gate at our main headquarters, Kari and I found ourselves in a large room that looked similar to the one we’d just left. It was a massive space shaped in the semblance of a dome. The floor was made of oddly shaped stone tiles that had a number of Runes inscribed on them. Furthermore, immediately behind us was the gigantic Warp Gate, which looked like ...

I showed an update near the start of this month about the art reward. Here's another quick update.
I commissioned the artist Michiroon to draw SFW and NSFW beach themed artwork of Lin from WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior. The artwork will be delivered to patrons at the end of this month.

2019-08-21 19:21:40 +0000 UTC View PostI was walking on my hands and knees, my eight month old daughter sitting on my shoulders, grabbing fistfuls of my long green hair as she cheered and giggled. We were strutting across the carpeted floor of the main office. A little ways off, Kari was sitting behind the desk and diligently working on the paperwork required for our guild, which I had foisted off on her because I knew squat abo...

A meeting had been called by the Council of Six Sects—the leading body in Midgard. While it was called the Council of Six Sects, the name referred to how it was led by the six largest sects in the Northern Plains. The council meeting required all sects that were considered mid-level and up, in other words, sects that had over 100 members, to attend.

Like... I know A Most Unlikely Hero 6 isn't even out yet, but... yeah. Here is a sketch for the cover of A Most Unlikely Hero 7.
Can you guess who these characters are?
2019-08-14 22:06:38 +0000 UTC View PostHey readers!
I just wanted to let you all know that I received my proofed copy of A Most Unlikely Hero volume 6. Everything checked out and I've ordered paperback copies to sign and send to alien and kitsune tier patrons.
I do not know how long it will take for them to arrive, but I will keep you all informed.

I woke up to the sound of crying. The bed shifted underneath me as the person who I shared it with climbed out of bed. Soft feet padded against the floor as a figure silhouetted in darkness headed toward the crib. Turning over, I watched with my eyes cracked open as Kari lifted our daughter into her arms and began cooing at her.
“Little one, you mustn’t make so much noise...
2019-08-12 15:32:02 +0000 UTC View PostKari really did know me too well.
She understood that if she had brought the matter of children up to me beforehand, I would have flat out refused her. I knew next to nothing about children. The one child I’d ever associated with was a little boy who’d called himself my “rival for Kari’s love”, and he had died in my arms when we were forced to flee into the En...

So, I figured I'd begin writing a monthly post about what sort of things you can expect this month on Patreon. Let me know if this is something you want me to do going forward. If enough people want it, I'll begin writing these at the beginning of each month.
As usual, I will be continuing WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior. You guys will get two chapters...
2019-08-06 16:20:30 +0000 UTC View PostOne year. 567 days. A lot could happen within that frame of time.
The process of getting our sect registered did not take long thanks to Erica, who brought up the matter at the earliest chance she had. With it being seconded by Tungsten, who was the second in command for the largest sect among the six, Brave Vesperia became a recognized sect within just a few days time....
2019-08-05 17:24:56 +0000 UTC View PostNow that the first sex scene of the main timeline is available for human patrons, I wanted to express my thoughts and views on the series itself.
While WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior is something of a pseudo-xianxia story (I don't think my cultivation system is good enough to call it true xianxia), a lot of the ideas come primarily from Japanese tropes found in anime and...

After handing the man some valis, I took the container—a simple wood box with parchment on the bottom—in hand and traveled with Lin toward a park. I...

This is another title idea I created. For this idea, I'm going with a more sci-fi feeling. I'm going with shades of blue in a gradient to complement the colors of the background and using a more modern/futuristic font for the title.
I might still try a few more, but I think this one fits the best so far.
The artwork is by 2019-07-30 21:52:46 +0000 UTC View Post
This is a preview of the cover for Incubus vol. 1. I have not finalized it since I'm still looking at the different font types. I'm not sure if the title font works here. I hope you guys can give me your opinion. What do you think of the font? Does it work with the cover art?
The art is by Orendi Laran.

Lin’s tail thumped against the ground as she and Kari sat on the floor of the royal princess’ bedroom. Kari, dressed in a simple gown without shoulders, sat cross-legged in front of her. Since she had a long snake tail, Lin couldn’t sit like that. Instead, her tail was coiled underneath her like a spring. Only the tip, which continued hi...
2019-07-25 15:18:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe caravan dropped us off at Capistrana. Kari and I didn’t spend the night in the city and made our way post haste to Vesperia. This involved traveling through a mountainous region, but the mountains were neither large nor very dangerous, though we did have to worry about the occasional D or C-rank Demon Beast.
Vesperia was located in what would be considered the north-wes...
2019-07-22 19:44:55 +0000 UTC View PostI contacted Ingramspark (the company I self-publish through) about my books never arriving and the tracking number never coming through. They apologized and said they would submit a replacement for them. With luck, this means the publishers will send me those copies so I can sign and ship them to my Alien and Kitsune Tier patrons.
Thank you guys for being so patient with me.

It took 24 days to travel from the north western peninsula to Vesperia—the city in which the Explorer’s Guild was located. After emerging from the jungle that made up a good portion of the peninsula, we headed for the nearest town and found a caravan willing to let us travel with them in exchange for our services.
During our time traveling with the caravan, w...

Lucretia is my archetype lolita teacher. I've seen this trope done a lot in similar light novels. Strike the Blood had Natsuki Minamiya. A Certain Magical Index had Komoe Tsukyomi. I think Aiko from ARIFURETA might also be a lolita teacher archetype.

It says on my account that the order was shipped on 7/08, but the label for the shipment has not been created.
