《The Fallen Ascending》Book 1 published; available in e-book or paperback // General Status Update
Advertisement
And for those who might be interested in having a copy of the first book for offline reading, you can now get it either as an e-book or in a printed version.
The ebook is available over at amazon.com for $3.99. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01FL3906A
The print version is available over at thebookpatch.com for $14.97. http://www.thebookpatch.com/BookStore/the-fallen-ascending-book-1-rebirth/c21fcf1f-0e45-4b5c-b9aa-8248ff7b916f
I realize the print version is kind of expensive (or at least it seems that way to me), but that's simply due to it being with a 'print on demand' publisher. If I somehow had thousands of dollars to spend, the cost would reduce considerably. If I could order the book in batches of 1000 at a time, the cost would go down to $9.97, but as this is my first work and I don't have $10,000 sitting around handy, I had to find a place that would print it one copy at a time.
In both cases, I'm actually making about $2.50 from each sale, with the rest either going to amazon or thebookpatch for their distribution and printing fees.
It's not enough for me to get rich from, but I am generating enough to pay for my internet so I can keep posting, and even give me an evening off from time to time for relaxing and refreshing, and for that I want to thank everyone for all their support. You guys truly mean a lot to me!
As always, the story will be hosted here free of charge (but may lack proper italics or formatting in some cases as RRL just doesn't play nice with those things and they're easy to overlook). The version you guys get here is basically my rough draft, and you *will* find all sorts of little typos, comma misplacements, and grammatical glitches from time to time. (Hopefully they're not enough to detract from the overall reading experience too much.)

In fact, several of you guys are even kind enough to help point out those mistakes and save me a lot of work later down the line, and I truly appreciate that as well! There's tons of different ways to help support an author, and I appreciate you guys for all you do for me. :)
As an aside, you guys may not have noticed, but I've also got a brand new little story which is starting to take shape here on RRL -- Dreambreaker. Feel free to try it out sometime. It may be something you enjoy as well -- as long as you keep an open mind and understand that I have no idea where that tale is going to go. It's one that's haunted my dreams and wanted to be recorded, so only time will see where my subconscious mind takes it...
The God Chronicles will probably be put on hold for a while. It's a dark little broody series, and with all the success I've been having with publishing my work, I just haven't felt dark and broody. I'll come back to it someday, but I don't know when that'll be. Just whenever the mood strikes, I suppose. ;)
Releases will now rotate roughly around the following schedule:
Nightfall -- Book 2 of The Fallen Ascending
Winter's Tale
Dreambreaker
I try and shoot for at least a chapter a day or so, so updates to each of them should come fairly frequently. If anything comes up to mess with that release cycle, for whatever reason, I'll let you guys know.
Thanks for all the support! (I have to admit, it's great to be back and adding to the world that is The Fallen Ascending.) :D

The Dungeon's Escapee
An Earthling, a Summer Elf, and the only male Phoenix in existence walk into a Dungeon... Okay, maybe they don't really do it so much for glory but rather because it's their job, and maybe they weren't really together, and some of them were actually walking out. Enter the world of Cespes, a land of magic, mystery, and monsters. Now, the Ancient Gods have gone silent even as magic enters the Golden Era. The Avish Empire might have fallen four thousand years ago, yet much of society remains fragmented, even as they share more cultural ties than ever before. Adventurers have always formed parties. Now, there are Dungeons, dark, grey blobs that dominate Kingdom maps and kill everything within sight. Yet, beyond even these obvious places of danger entwined with fortune, a forgotten evil rears its head after fermenting for millennia. A call for heroes has arrived. Warning: This story is written in the first and third person with multiple POVs. I will try to publish at least once every two weeks, if not more. Cover art by: [email protected]

God Slaying System
Issac was known to be one of the strongest players of Blue Sky City. During the initial stages of the start of The Heavenly Domain, he had already gained a lot of power and was going to become even stronger then the guild leader. But, he was betrayed by the guild leader as he feared he would be more powerful then himself and was killed until he got back to level 0. Heck, they even stripped him of his 'Sword of Heroes' that he got from completing the Diamond Ranked quest and took it away. After all that, he was banished from the guild left with nothing. Now, he could not even compete for being strong as he was. That was the time he found the God Slayer Temple. After this encounter, he was no longer the same as before. The main point is that I got the inspiration to write this novel by reading the novel “Reincarnation of The Strongest Sword God”. So, you may find some minor similarities but, well the story is completely different and the ideas are mine. So, enjoy reading my novel. This novel is also available on Webnovel under the same name. The updates on the novel are a bit faster there.

Our world is gone. The new world is as bizarre as it is dangerous.

Dangerous, powerful, mad, people want the pair captured for purposes unknown, presumed nefarious.

Is there any such thing as safety amongst the wastes, or can such a thing only be earned by sweat and blood?

They say the story is only as good as its villain. Perhaps, it's time to skip the middleman.
