《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

Into The Fray
In a war-ridden world where metaphysical powers are the norm, Alma Gustafsson, a defect with no abilities whatsoever, stood at the top of it. An elite captain with a tactical mind, capable of fighting the invading forces with utmost efficiency and discipline, amplified by an immeasurable amount of sheer dedication. This mission was supposed to be a standard one. Get behind enemy lines, kill the metal puppets, destroy the flying fortress, escape with body and life intact. To be the first one to stare at the eyes of their true enemy was surprising enough, and dying was already a sharp reminder of what she is: A defect that has no place in the battlefield. But somehow, meeting an old man in the middle of the forest was more important to her than the events that transpired. “Your grit is one of a kind, girly. I need that.” Said the old man, giving her a chance to go back out there and fight once more. It was a stupid offer, making her choose between eternal happiness of heaven and the meaningless fighting that she has done all those years. However, she never took herself as a smart person. And as she embarks on a journey to protect her world, she will find herself at a crossroad that will determine the fate of the universe...

Demonhunter Zecruix
In the world of Xylesia, there exist beings known as Rakhe or Demons. Some of them roam free, while other were sealed. Their existence was an enigma to all the races that lived in Xylesia but one consistent thing about them was that they were always a danger to other living beings. Aside from Rakhe, there were many beings that are related to them such as Demon-corrupted or their vile worshipers, the heretical tribes and cults. To face such threats, a sacred order of warriors called Rakh-Threc-Zal or Demonhunters were created long ago by the Ehridolon, an offshoot of the human race of Xylesia, to counter the Rakhe and all the evils that it branched. This is the story of one of the demonhunters, Zecruix Valvren and his many deeds.

Alex was always a little...sour...with her race car dad, the racer that everyone has known and loved since what felt like forever--at least, according to Alex-- Lightning McQueen. For the past few years, she's never wanted anything more than for her charismatic (and over-enthusiastic) father to stop nagging about wanting her to join the racing leagues, but in a twist of fate, Alex decides to join secretly, going under the name "Storm Swift", racer number #22. The secret is kept between Sally, Alex, and the known next-gen. racer, Jackson Storm, who makes a deal with Alex to keep the secret, as long as she agrees to keep a relationship with him, if only as a way for Jackson to gain more publicity than he already has, as a new generation racer. What will happen? What if the secret gets out? Find out what happens in the story of the next generation, filled with your favorite characters, such as Lightning, Sally, Jackson, Cruz, and the new girl on the track! ---- Note- Though the events in this story deal around the plot of Cars 3, please remember that this is only a fanfiction that I created for your enjoyment! Happy Reading! -I.K.
