The Fusionist Book 3 -- Chapter 1
Chapter 1“No. I’ve already told this before, Larek; you can’t just go out by yourself anymore.”Larek Holsten wanted to ignore what the blue-haired young woman was telling him, but when he saw Nedira nodding in agreement, he sighed and put his head in his hands. The loud conversations going on around Dining Hall washed over him, which only seemed to reinforce the headache that seemed to be ...
Dimensional Dungeon Cores crossover info

Another Box Set Cover Art Sneak Peek!

Dimensional Dungeon Cores crossover map
For those unfamiliar with my crossover series, Dimensional Dungeon Cores, I created a graphical map of what it entails.

At 172k words, this is now officially the longest solo-written book I've ever completed -- it's a monster!)Epilogue“Your Majesty, the reports have been trickling in over the last few weeks and—”Duke Luttleton immediately stopped as the one he was reporting to held up his hand. Sealing his mouth shut, he watched as King Midan nodded toward one of his adviso...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 71
Chapter 71Verne and Norde were both sitting cross-legged on an empty bed near Nedira once Larek arrived, talking in low voices that not even he could clearly make out with his high Listening Skill. They looked up when he entered the room and both seemed excited to see him; they were less excited to see Penelope and Vivienne behind him, however.“What are they doing here?” Norde asked. From what...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 70
Chapter 70Larek immediately shook his head in disbelief. “What? No. I didn’t do anything to them.”“As Shinpai mentioned, you did it unconsciously,” the Dean explained. “And it’s not exactly the same thing as what the Great Ones use on those they control. Whereas their Dominion magic has all the subtlety of a warhammer as it invades the minds of those they dominate, what you seem to u...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 69 (nice)
Chapter 69As much as Larek wanted to visit and stay near Nedira while she was in her coma, waiting for her to wake up, other obligations took that option away from him. Thankfully, soon after the final match concluded, he was able to speak with Verne and Norde who raced down to the arena to see him and check on Norde’s sister; it didn’t take any prompting for them both to volunteered to stay n...

The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 68
Chapter 68An anger he’d only felt once before back at Crystalview Academy descended upon his mind, but unlike when he lost control during the Scission attack, a state of hyper-focus accompanied the rage. In the space of a breath, he immediately dumped 11 Advancement Points each into Strength, Body, and Agility, draining his entire store of 33 AP in an instant. He reveled in the pain that almost ...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 67
Chapter 67“Where did they go? Were those illusions?”Larek heard the other teams questioning where Team Fusion had just disappeared to, searching around the area with their weapons and spells to find them; Larek could only assume that they thought they had used something like Light Bending to camouflage themselves, but they didn’t have any luck.They’re on the right track, however. My Camouf...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 66
(I managed to finish one more chapter this morning, but I'm taking the rest of the day off to celebrate Father's Day a day late because it's less busy out there in the world -- I'm going out somewhere my wife and daughter have picked but won't tell me, so I gather I probably won't be back until later tonight! I'll have more for you tomorrow!)Chapter 66“Welcome to the ...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 65
Chapter 65When they arrived back at the arena and took their seats in the Skirmish participant section, the looks they received from the other competitors was a mixture of shock, disbelief, and anger. Larek simply shrugged it off, knowing that there was nothing he could do about the feelings of the others, but he was immediately cognizant that Penelope and the Dean were absolutely correct about th...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 64
Chapter 64“Larek, would you mind doing me a favor?” Dean Lorraine asked him.The Logger-turned-Fusionist glanced around the room, seeing the confused looks on just about everyone’s faces – all but Shinpai, however. Instead, a hint of a smirk that had been threatening to break out was visible at the corner of his mouth.“Uh, yes, sure; what can I do for you, Dean?”She gestured to the tabl...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 63
Chapter 63The crowd went silent again as the Penelope and Bartholomew reached the other team’s fortification. Or at least, that’s what Larek assumed because it was out of his view, but also because Kimble started lobbing fireballs in an arc from his position on the walkway and Vivienne did the same with her blunted wooden arrows. They were aimed off to the left, but it was probably at their ex...
