We're coming up on the end of the book very shortly. Technically the next chapter is the last one, however I'm working on an epilogue to sort of round off the end of the book and give us one more look at the wider world. This is a late addition, but over the past month or so I've become increasingly convinced the book needs one.
That means we have two more weeks before book 1 ends. So wha...

I had the typography on the cover redone professionally (with some tweaking by me, because I know just enough photoshop to be dangerous). The original one was something I made on my own, and I'm not a designer, nor am I good with fonts.
I'm probably going to put this up on RR on monday with the next chapter release, but I figured I'd go ahead and give you guys a high-res preview. :)

This is currently the longest chapter in the book at exactly 12000 words. I've considered breaking up the titular sermon into its own chapter at the section ...

Here's the full size version of The Unholy monster from the previous chapter. The artist, as always, is John Latta. He really outdid himself on this one - it looks like it belongs in a D&D monster manual. At some point I'm going to have to create a statblock for it so people can use it in games. :P

I have an image of the the monster that Infinity encounters in this chapter which is truly horrific. The artist did a spectacular job with it. I've been deba...

Today on questions you probably didn't want the answers to: What exactly does live in that river that bothers everyone so much to look at. Well, the answer is these things.
I had my favorite monster artist, John Latta, draw up the entire evolution chain as concept art sketches. There's one more not featured here which we'll see later (technically we haven't seen the winged ones yet either...

I commissioned artwork of various unique monsters found in the book. Here's one such creature. We've heard of these from Regga - it's one of the things that killed Yanelle. I'm going to hold off on releasing more of them until we see them in the book, but since this one has already been mentioned I thought I'd go ahead an share it.

This is more of an interlude but I'm sticking with the normal chapter numbering for now, mostly because I don't want people to skip it (they will be very confused if they do).

Chapter 21 is called “Infinity” for a few reasons, but the main one is that I consider this chapter to be the first time that you the readers really get to meet the main character of this series. That’s a pretty wild thing for me to say here, and you probably weren’t thinking about it like that before I said it. So why do I have that opinion?
Let’s back up a step and talk about ...

I know the meta on ads for RR is memes and low quality art, so I wanted to do something kinda ridiculous and commission custom artwork just to be different. We'll see if it actually works... :P
I'm releasing this here first, but it will obviously be public soon.
The artist on this one is John Latta, and I have him doi...

Hello! I just wanted to let you guys know I'm expanding the Patreon chapters to RR+3. This is because I'm getting close to finished with revisions and edits to the first book and have broken things up into more chapters than I had previously (My longest is now 11k words, which is still upcoming, the average is still somewhere around 6-7k).
This week you guys will be getting an extra chapt...

Same image as last time, but now with a few design changes incorporated and more details. The infinity symbol will make its return on the book later as part of the coloring process.

It occurs to me that not everyone may be familiar with how responsible disclosure works in software development, and how real life bug bounty programs have had an impact on how this story works. There are a lot of jokes in this book that are probably only really visible to software developers. For example, Daemons aren't just the name of a 2024-01-03 00:06:55 +0000 UTC
