Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 66 – An Experiment of His Own

Sen very nearly panicked at the thought of being incapacitated on the street with less than friendly strangers around. He was even more frightened of the idea of coming out of it just to find himse...

Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 65 – Self Knowledge

As Sen left the market, he did his best to ignore the people who had taken cover and watched the brief fight instead of fleeing the market entirely. The expressions on their faces disturbed him a l...

Rinn's Run: Chapter 16 - Lessons

Since planetary day/night cycles were so unpredictable, Kalan made the decision right after he bought the Ankala Rising that he’d operate on the same cycle used on Cobalt 7. It went a long way to...

New Tiers

Okay, so I think most of the people who plan on voting in the poll have probably done so by now. So, here's what's changed. 

If you're in the Good Karma Corner, Storytime Corner, or My H...

Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 64 – Problem Solving

Sen studied the group of noble brats for a moment. He let his senses extend just enough to get a read on them. They were all cultivators, but all of them were also still in the qi condensing stage....

Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 63 – Practicalities

Sen just stared at Grandmother Lu for a little while as he tried and failed to understand what she meant. Sen had some vague ideas about what inheritance meant, but cultivators tended to distance t...

Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 62 – Unexpected Boons

Sen hesitated for the briefest of moments, mostly out of pure shock, before he walked over to the much-restored Grandmother Lu. She wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace. Sen, mindful of h...

Patron Poll - Other Tiers

Hey everyone! So, I know that some Patreon accounts offer a whole slew of tiers with different benefits. I occasionally think that maybe I should I offer some kind of $15 or $20 tier, but I'm hones...

Rinn's Run: Chapter 15 - Education

Kalan spent the first few days in the wormhole getting Fresia acquainted with the ship. He was bemused by the way she found the ship and everything aboard endlessly fascinating. Most of the time, s...

Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 61 – Grandmother Lu’s Heavenly Wares

The older man, who introduced himself as Zhang Muchen, was apparently one of Grandmother Lu’s house staff. Sen knew that Master Feng had left Grandmother Lu some money, but he hadn’t thought th...

Falling Leaf

I'm sort of thinking of this as a young Falling Leaf image, but it was just so much fun that I decided to go ahead and have them finalize the sketch. Enjoy!

Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 60 – Orchard’s Reach

Sen stopped and cocked his head to one side when he thought he caught the sound of laughter echoing down the mountain after him. After a moment, the sound receded and didn’t return. Sen shrugged ...

Chapter 59 – Parting Ways, Part 3

As the winter chill started fading from the air, Sen felt the pull east growing stronger. He had thought, well hoped, that he might get more time. With the moment almost on top of him, though, Sen ...

Chapter 58 – Parting Ways, Part 2

As winter took full hold, Sen started thinking more and more about where he would go. He knew his first step would be Orchard’s Reach to see Grandmother Lu. He expected she’d want him to stay f...

Rinn's Run: Chapter 14 - Into the Empty

Kalan gave Fresia a serious look. “Mox is no one to trifle with, Fresia. He has a hairpin temper. You even look at him wrong and he’s liable to explode into violence. So, just let me do the tal...

Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 57 – Parting Ways, Part 1

Armed with the knowledge that he was leaving soon, it seemed that Master Feng, Uncle Kho, and Auntie Caihong decided that they needed to cram as much information as possible into his head before he...

Unintended Artwork Update

Okay, I finalized the details with the artist in Indonesia. Falling Leaf artwork is coming. I should have it by Thursday. 

Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 56 – Next Steps

Sen never stopped moving. He felt Auntie Caihong’s thrust coming toward his back, even as he saw Uncle Kho come in for a downward slash from the left. His senses told him that Master Feng was a f...

Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 55 – A Distant Call

For once, Sen simply sat in the darkness that pervaded the mountain before dawn. He had meant to get up and train, as he did every morning. When he stepped outside to start, though, he instead foun...

Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 54 – Fighting Ways

Sen learned a lot about himself over the next few months. He learned that his body really had benefited from body cultivation. He was harder to seriously injure. Things that might have once left hi...

Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 53 – The Path Forward

Sen had been so angry with Falling Leaf that he’d stormed inside. He pretended he didn’t feel her eyes on him as he went. He’d argued with her in his head all the way to his room. She didn’...

Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 52 – Reflection

After the very long discussion about the Jianghu, Sen became withdrawn from the others for a time. He still practiced every morning and trained with Uncle Kho every afternoon. Yet, after the evenin...

Uncle Kho

Sigh. I may have to make peace with that artist after all. Anyway, meet (Old) Uncle Kho! 

Unintended Cultivator Artwork Update

Okay, I've placed an order for a possible drawing of (old) Uncle Kho. If all goes well, I should have that back to share with you sometime next week.

I also started talking with a different a...

Unintended Cultivator: Chapter 51 – The Jianghu, Part 2

The walk back to the house was made almost entirely in silence. Master Feng looked like he’d swallowed something sour and couldn't get the taste out of his mouth. Uncle Kho seemed lost in his own...

Unintended Cultivator, Artwork, and Royal Road

Good morning, everyone. 

So, first things first, there will be a new chapter of Unintended Cultivator posted here today. It's just fighting me a little harder than usual. 

On ...

Rinn's Run: Chapter 13 - Temera

Elsewhere

Temera Amaluy sat on her ship and tapped her fingers on the arm of her chair. It was the only sign of her impatience. Even the tapping was an affectation, more pretense and...

Jericho Lott: Chapter 48

(It's later than I expected, but I think it's still Thursday on the West Coast.)

Sven was actually waiting outside for us when we got there. I took very careful note of the enormou...

Rinn's Run: Chapter 12 - Threats

With everything Fresia needed finally taken care of, they headed back to the ship. Kalan’s mind turned to wondering about Artex. Traveling between far-flung parts of the galaxy wasn’t a precise...

Rinn's Run: Chapter 11 - Errands and Aggravations

The next day was a series of annoyances for Kalan. Tessan showed up so early that only EM 2073 was available to go out and meet him. The robot dutifully accepted the package, confirmed the recipien...
