The following information was included in yesterday's author’s note, but I’m posting it again since not everyone reads them, and I want everyone to have the details regarding the launch of book two (the first chapter comes out on 2/6).

If you’ve already read this, I’ll see you tomorrow for the first big piece of bonus content, concept art from the first half of book one. Thanks.

----------------------------------------

We did it everyone!

At long last, we’ve arrived at the end of book one and reached the conclusion of Nick’s tutorial. But his epic adventure has only just begun. I’m taking one week off before launching book two on February 6th, but there will be some bonus content on every scheduled release day until then to help tide you over.

When book two starts next week, there will be fresh challenges and major rewards coming down the pipeline. Nick will gain a shiny new class and some powerful items and abilities, all over the next few weeks.

What you can expect from book two:

* Powerful new classes, spells, and abilities.

* Major rewards for completing the tutorial, including some rare gear.

* Working as part of a team and meeting lots of new characters.

* Bigger fights, bigger enemies, bigger… everything.

* Faster advancement in numerous ways both old and new.

* Learning more about the multiverse, the System, the labyrinth, and the Mad God.

* Cameos from some of your favorite beasts (yes, I mean you Bandit).

I wanted to take a few minutes to reflect on how far we’ve come before we chat about the future. Labyrinth of the Mad God was the first book that I’ve shared with other people. It means so much to me that so many of you have been enjoying Nick’s journey.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

I’ve learned a ton along the way, thanks to all the insightful comments, corrections, and suggestions that you've left. Listening to you has made me a better writer, and I’ll work hard to keep improving as I keep pumping out those chapters 5 days a week.

Thank you so, so much. You’ve helped to make this story so much better than it would have been without your participation and feedback. Your encouragement and advice have been invaluable. I still have a long way to go, but thanks to your help, I’m one step closer to my dream of writing full time, and I’m optimistic about the future.

The first book was mostly a solo story while Nick went through the tutorial and learned how to survive in his new, magic-filled, reality. But now the isolation is over, and the training wheels come off. We’ll be meeting a lot of new characters soon, and the danger and rewards are about to be dialed up to 11.

If you don’t want to wait to get started on all the fun, the patreon is already well into the first new arc. On that note, the patreon will be expanded soon, and then again sometime during book two, fulfilling a long-term promise. A lot of crazy stuff is going to happen from this point on, and I hope to see you there.

That being said, if you’ve been enjoying Nick’s story so far, and want to help make sure that the series succeeds over the long-term, I have a special favor to ask today. If you haven’t had a chance to follow or rate the story yet, and would be willing to do it now, it would be tremendously helpful at this critical stage of the novel’s growth (It’s also super motivating to see that people are enjoying the book and really puts a smile on my face).

My deepest thanks to everyone who has clicked those buttons already. You’ve helped put the story in front of fresh eyes, and I am in your debt.

If you have a few extra minutes and want to help out even more, some reviews from people who have enjoyed the first book in its entirety would be a fantastic asset right now, helping me take the success of LotMG to the next level and beyond.

I know that the story isn’t perfect. I’m still learning every day and working hard to improve my craft. But I gave this book everything that I had, and I’ve been tweaking it ever since day one. I deeply, truly hope that you have enjoyed it so far along with all of Nick’s adventures to come.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support. I hope that you like the bonus content, and I’ll see you next week for the start of book two!

All the best,

Magnus Grey
