Hey, author update on the hiatus (I know, it's been so long none of you probably remember me lol).
Covid sucks. Getting hearing loss after covid doubly sucks (with tinnitus, ugh. ugggh.. I'm 24.) After getting well, I realized that if I wanted to make a living as a writer, I would have to write something that appeals to the masses, while having my unique crazy writer twist so that I don't burn out.
So I went back to the drawing board, for my redemption arc. This time, I would write not one but two before making my triumphant return to royal road. The first of those novels has two hundred thousand words done, but I am still perfecting it.
The second, a novel that would (I hope) appeal to the fans of the Xianxia and LITRPG/Gamelit genre, has over a hundred thousand words written, and I am very excited to share it with you guys: If you are willing to embark on another journey with me.
I never really considering charging my readers before because I'd fall sick almost every four or five months, but like I said, things are taking a turn for the better, and I am much healthier than before. I do plan to take this one to patreon, though it will be on royal road for free of course. I have 20,000 words in reserve even if I do fall sick, so yeah.
9000+ words have already been published (two huge chapters), and it's daily updates. I take the write to the end pledge with this one, meaning that I'll provide the readers an ending even if it takes forever. All my previous experience in writing outside heaven's mandate, primordial tower, and enigma's multiverse is condensed in this one novel.

Without further ado, here we go:
Into the Wilderness- A LITRPG System Apocalypse
Jack Smith, your typical American college graduate with an annual salary half his student debt, was not equipped for the apocalypse. Or first contact, magical powers and Eldritch horrors. Apparantly, deciding to take a 'nature retreat' a day before the apocalypse wasn't his greatest idea- but hey, the aliens didn't send him a memo.
In a world where the only law was that of the jungle, where the weak perish and the strong prosper- Jack would come to realize that he was not the prey, but the predator who punishes the worst among his kind.
----------------------------------------
This is my most ambitious project till date. 100,000 words have been already written. Chapters will be 2k+ words long, updating daily.
The power system will be Xianxia cultivation with a LITRPG system that is less focussed on numbers, and more focused on the contents of the skill combined with innate talents (superpowers essentially) that most cultivators possess.
There will be real grit and tension, and the MC will face challenges beyond him constantly and it gets gory. There is loot to be found, hidden quests and boss monsters.
And much, much more...
