Happy Halloween guys!
A while ago, I've mentioned my intention to take my LitRPGs Never Die Twice and Vainqueur the Dragon to KU, now that they've been complete for years on RR and all. The dates for both are fast approaching, and in Never Die Twice's case, I'm currently working with the amazing Selkie Myth to relaunch it on Amazon around November. We've been discussing different...

I flew back to the palace, the fading light of the setting sun casting long shadows on my path.
My excursion went surprisingly well. Although I couldn’t say with certainty whether Tlazohtzin would adhere to my instructions or reconsider his decision, I rem...

A/N: as I wrote the Inquisitor interlude, I realized it just kept getting longer and longer (even more than the Artisan one) and I wouldn't be able to finish it by today, so... had to split it in two. I hope to finish the second by Thursday, but no promises since I've got to finish the next B&F chapter too.
A bit of a warning, while the second half will be more uplifting,...

A/N: I gotta say, I HATE the new Patreon UI. It's a nightmare to get through on my side; I hope it's at least bearable for you readers.
Otherwise, that chapter has some very light NSFW content in the waking world, but it's short so not sure if it warrants a warning. If you've read so far I think you probably know what to expect.

Hi guys, as promised earlier this week, here's a third episode of the Djinn webtoon (developed in cooperation with Gharbi Zouhayer)! Hope it'll entertain you until the new B&F chapter this Saturday!
As before since this is a work in progress (this episode contains a few visual errors in fact which should be corrected swiftly) any feedback is appreciated.

As warned in the Mall of Madness update, I'll be taking a short one week break next week (the first since April, I believe); due to RL stuff I really feel the need to recharge my batteries, so to say. I'll be providing a few more bonus content this week (like a Djinn update) to make up for it.
As such, there won't be updates from August 28th to Septe...
