Verian Thavian Mazet, Headmaster of the Royal University of Etrua looked across at the only other person present in his office.
“I am surprised you sided with the Adventurer. Would it not have been better to bring the Earl of Dralogne’s second son closer to your side?” he asked.

The amazon algorithm really likes early sales, downloads, and ratings/reviews. The more I get early, the more amazon pushes the book in the algorithm, the better it does! If you could help me out, from buying, downloading ...
2024-08-30 12:22:11 +0000 UTC View PostNate walked into the lecture hall and sat down near the front. The room was barely filled, which he supposed he had been warned about. There weren’t that many people who attended the University with the intention of going down an Enchanting path. The lower grades might have had a few more merch...
2024-08-29 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“Do you have to be so crass about it?” griped Nate, staring at Kiri as she joined him at the table. “And how did you even know? Was it Frick?”
“Wasn’t Frick. That’s one of the reasons I swung by, but we’ll get to that. So, what happened? I thought you were going to just tell...
2024-08-27 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate sat in his room occasionally glancing at the floating runic array as it hovered off to the side of him. They’d only been back at the University for less than a day and he’d been vastly wrong in his estimation for how long it would take to reach his Skill evolution for Imbue...
2024-08-25 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate smiled as he glanced over at the three members of his team lounging around the campfire. He added the final few strokes to the painting he’d been doing and spun it around to face the group.
Britt clamped a hand over her mouth as she unsuccessfully tried to suppress a squeal of deligh...

A/N: Hey everyone. When I posted the epub for people to download in preparation (see link if you haven't grabbed it: A/N Book 1 Stub and ePub | Patreon ) a few of you expressed interest in the links for Amazon an...
2024-08-19 22:58:40 +0000 UTC View PostNate walked into an empty classroom. Moonlight shone through one of the windows, lighting up the various tables and comfortable chairs. Even when it came to classrooms the nobility did not go without the soft and cosy chairs designed to keep them happy. He waited patiently for less than a minute ...
2024-08-18 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostNate sat outside his Skill Development classroom. He had a couple of hours till his next class and it had been impressed upon him by his fellow Guildies that given the attack on his room and the lack of reaction from the University staff, that he shouldn’t be wandering the grounds alone. So ins...
2024-08-15 20:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostNate sat between Kiri and Null, with Britt, Ameera, Karim and Flash in the row behind them. The rest of the classroom was divided into similar cliques as the merchants seemed to gather in small factions. The nobles seemed split into three main groups with a few stragglers arrayed around the room....
2024-08-13 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe walk to the dormitory had been uneventful but seeing the gathered Guildies standing outside on the grass near the squat building that was to be their home for the next four years made him suspect that the lack of issues they’d encountered so far at the University was coming to an end. That,...
2024-08-11 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostSo, Book 1 will stub from Patreon and RoyalRoad on the 25th of August for its release on Amazon KU. I know KU isn't available everywhere, so attached below is the epub for anyone who wants to download it before I am forced to remove it on the 25th. Even if you do, any reviews or ratings on launch...
2024-08-10 06:54:56 +0000 UTC View PostKiri grinned in excitement as she walked out onto the field. When she’d stepped up, they’d asked her to wait a moment while they found an appropriate assessor. Her Economics and Tactics assessments only had a handful of students present but it seemed like almost every student took Combat. She...
2024-08-08 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate stared at his painting. He’d chosen to go with this particular scene for a few reasons. Firstly, it was a piece he had wanted to paint for a couple of weeks now. The second was, it differentiated him from the other painters who seemed to all prefer portraits, be they of themselves or of th...
2024-08-06 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostNate walked into the first assessment room with Kiri. Aisling, Evindal and the rest of the Guild Platinums had all gone to wait with the carriages. He didn’t think that was a rule enforced by the University, as a few of the other students appeared to have chaperones, but most of the students we...
2024-08-04 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostNate glanced out of the carriage as it rolled into the District of the Nobility, trundling along towards the Royal University.
“Is this really necessary?” he asked, glancing across from himself at Aisling and Evindal.
Kiri was seated next to him on the plush seats that were enchan...
2024-08-01 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostNate gauged Caroline’s reaction to his offer of trade. At face value, one Master quality Sigil was worth less than one Master quality Sigil and two Journeyman quality, but that was before factoring in the extent of what you could do with the sigils. Illusion was likely amazingly powerful, but a...
2024-07-30 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate walked with Luc into the Nobles District. The guards had held them up for a moment until Luc flashed his Platinum Badge. That was enough for them to leave the pair alone, though the expression on their faces said they weren’t happy about doing so.
The first thing he noticed was...
2024-07-28 20:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostNate listened as Deverell explained the information they had and what that meant for Nate.
“So, after carefully reviewing our own Class records as well as obtaining some information from the Enchanter’s Guild, we have determined that there isn’t a record of a Battle Enchanter Class or...
2024-07-25 20:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostNate watched as Kiri strode out from the back of the shop. This was the fourth outfit she’d tried on and by his estimate the best of the bunch, though admittedly, he was growing a little bored. Still, he kept up a smile of encouragement for his friend, even if clothing shopping wasn’t his ide...
2024-07-23 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate sat by the window as the sun peaked in, going over his Class Core Obfuscation rune designs. He had done most of the initial work the night before, coming up with the geometric pattern he thought would suit his proposed design. After he had drawn up some drafts he had decided he needed to sle...
2024-07-21 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate walked beside Kiri as Aisling led them towards the Guildhouse. The sun was up now, even if it hadn’t been for very long, and the warm rays and salty air from the ocean were helping to make him feel more relaxed. Added to that was Kiri’s presence.
“So, we should go shopping later...
Nate sat up quickly, looking around his room frantically. The sun was not yet peeking in through the blinds of his expensive room. It only took a moment for his mind to settle, the remnants of his dream locked in his mind. He’d never been prone to nightmares, but he wasn’t surprised he’d ha...

A/N: This is the second last chapter of Book 2. With that in mind, just letting everyone know that Book 1 (Prologue to Ch51) will be going to Amazon KU some time around the end of this month.

2024-07-11 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate was forced to teleport again to avoid a hail of bloody spears that annihilated a tenth of the valley. The nine demons continued to harass him as he sensed at least two soul attacks against his barrier. Every teleport was designed to keep him as far away from the Temporal Executioner as human...
2024-07-09 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate watched as the eight demons continued to make their way towards him. Unlike the demons of the first trial, who had come on like a horde, fighting each other almost as much as they fought him to be the one to kill him, these eight came on carefully. It was clear they were wary of each other i...
2024-07-07 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe valley was just as barren as the rest of the demonic realm.
