A crash of thunder jolted Edwin awake. After a few confused moments spent drowsily trying to recall where he was and what was going on, he mentally groaned, Darn it. I knew I jinxed it. Things were just going too smoothly for me, weren’t they?
Peeking outside his shelter, Edwin got just a moment of warning from the pitter-patter of endless raindrops falling upon the canopy above before the heavens opened and an absolute downpour of rain started, the downpour extingui...

Edwin’s back was sore. While that might not have been all that noteworthy on its own, especially considering his sleeping conditions, it was the first time he had woken up any less than perfectly rested since he got the Sleeping skill. It probably wasn’t helped by the fact his ‘door’ had fallen on him in the middle of the night, jolting him awake and making him lie sleepless for a while, even using his skill not enough to pull him back into slumber.
Guess it’s not high eno...

With a groan, Edwin pulled himself into a sitting position. He had managed to not fall asleep but had still laid on the ground for the better part of an hour before moving. Vaguely wondering if laying on the ground in exhaustion counted as a habit at this point, and if it were a good or bad one if it were, he cautiously approached the edge, even more conscious about ensuring he didn’t slip on the stone now that he had personal experience as to just how deadly it could be.

Bushes tore at Edwin’s arms as he sprinted through the underbrush. Behind him, he could hear his pursuer crashing through the fallen log he had vaulted over just moments before. He winced as the bear just charged through a tree, and the noise as it splintered resounded through the forest. He was running as fast as he could, and that meant he couldn’t be too close to the riverbank, or he’d risk falling in, or tripping on some of the loose rocks lining it, or something similarly ...

Edwin woke up surprised, parched, and starving. Surprised because it was apparently sunset already? No wait. That was birdsong. Sunrise? Sheesh. He did not intend to sleep at all, really, let alone through the night. He supposed he continued to be fortunate that there weren’t predators here. Well, they hadn’t found him yet, at least. That kind of fortune was not something he wanted to depend on, though. Especially when it came to sleeping out in the open.
Despite Edwin’s ...

It was a bleary-eyed Edwin who blinked awake the next morning, curled up in the hollow of a tree. It fortunately hadn’t gotten very cold overnight, because his thin jacket and jeans would not have been adequate if it had been fairly cold. Still, as it hadn’t rained, it was hardly the most miserable night spent outdoors he had experienced. It had taken effort to fall asleep last night, what with the highly uncomfortable spot he found himself in and the worry that some gia...

An eternal void
An enormous tree, orbs glistening in its branches
A sea of crystal

FALLING
Edwin started awake, his senses telling him that he was absolutely falling this time, and not just reliving the same nightmare about falling off a ladder again, and, fairly annoyed, he grabbed his pillow… his pill- wait.
His eyes shot open as he couldn't feel his pillow, or be...

As I'm still getting everything up and running properly, it may take a little while (on the order of a couple of days) for me to get all the advance chapters up and edited. In the meantime, I'll still post up all the chapters I have on Royal Road here, and I'll release all of my chapters as they are edited. This may be multiple times per day. I'm still going to try and keep up with the daily releases for a little while longer, but I honestly do not know how long I'll be able to keep that rate...
