Hey, guys. So for the past many months I've been deployed in my country's Armed Services. I'm back now, though.
I apologize for the delay in new writing, but the internet situation was not great as you can maybe imagine. I couldn't really reliably cross-reference my old writings to write a sequel to any of my current works. I did manage to write a new book, though, set in the same world as Merchant Swordsman--and I've edited everything to make it consistent and to fix my accidental consistency issues, now that I'm back.
The new book is classic High Fantasy, with a LitRPG twist, much in the same vein as Merchant Swordsman is. It follows the first months of a young adventurer's journey into the outer world as a druid and martial warrior hybrid. I really start to dig super deep into how magic works with this setting's System; so if you found yourself wondering about how the mages in Merchant Swordsman were doing what they were then this is your chance to see! I'm very happy with the new book and think I really improved on some of the things I didn't like with my writing of Merchant Swordsman--information dumping pacing in particular.
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
The Book's Cover:

All of that said, I will be returning to work on both Merchant Swordsman and my first serial The Sorceress' Soul. You can expect book two for Merchant Swordsman to start dropping this year. I'm very sorry for the wait and thank you to any of you guys who are still along for the ride--and for those who aren't, I totally understand. I'm super excited to get back into Lysander's journey and to pick up where we left off together, though!
Until then, if you like the System of the world of Arden, and maybe just my writing too, then please feel free to check out Adventurer: A Fantasy LitRPG Adventure. We're only a few chapters in here on Royal Road, but the chapters are long and we're now well-over a hundred pages of material posted here for you all to read.
Until then, I'm off to plot the next chapters of Merchant Swordsman and The Sorceress' Soul! Have a great one, guys!
