Afterlife 2.0 Chapter 47 — Material Sciences
Before I started with the materials, even the small trickle of Mana I was sending into my Authority Core was getting hard to hold in. I had to release my hold on my Authority.

Afterlife 2.0 Chapter 46 — Are they actually the same person as me?
There were so many overlapping voices that I couldn’t pick any particular one out of the crowd. This was mostly because they were speaking too loudly, which caused the microphone to peak.

Afterlife 2.0 Chapter 45 — System Update
The votes for the Skill came out perfectly equally, so I just chose on my own. I did not expect that, I thought there would be some clear favourites.

Afterlife 2.0 Chapter 44 — Bargains for blood even if I’m missing the blood
First things first, I needed to finish the ritual.
I could deal with the fact that there was some kind of other monster living nearby and begin the process of sorting through all the memories...

Wanderer of Dust Chapter 1 — The First Death
This is the start of a novel I started writing a while back. It had its issues, so I ended up scrapping the first draft, but I always loved the concept and wanted to revisit it eventually. ...

The path weaved through the meadow, meandering up a hill in that way you would only see in fantasy media. It twisted lazily, doubling back on itself up and down in a completely nonsensical fashion ...

I massaged my temples while listening to Hazel explain how she absolutely required the materials from the boss to advance her profession. The fight was apparently causing damage to the creature's u...

I looked over a two-dimensional scene in front of me. My depth perception was completely fucked. I genuinely couldn’t tell if something was really big and far away or really small and inc...
Afterlife 2.0 Chapter 39 — This time, there were no suicidal gardeners
This time, there were no suicidal gardeners, so I figured that I had finally gotten the answer correct. Just give all the staff blinky rings. Oh, of course, it was horribly inefficient if I were to...

Autumn was right, the facility was completely fucked. With all the Mana drained out of the building, all of the lights were off, but I think even if I hadn’t done that, most of them wouldn’t be...

Okay, so the version written on Patreon is unfortunately slightly trimmed. I wanted to let you know so you can check out the PDF if you're concerned about potentially missing any details.
I have something I'd like to ask the people who have subscribed to my Patreon.
Before I wrote Afterlife 2.0 I had another novel that was basically my baby. But I ended up throwing it away after a poor review from a single beta reader.
Lately I've been thinking back to ...
Afterlife 2.0 Chapter 36 — Even if I have to rip down gods from the sky I don’t give a fuck
You guys like these quick chapters? I feel like I'm in a flow state or something.
Don't expect it to always be like this, though. I'm not sure how long I can keep up ...

Woo! The benefit of having no release schedule is that sometimes I can just sit down and write an entire chapter in two hours, then publish it. Hope you enjoy!

Afterlife 2.0 Chapter 34 — Never tell anyone else you have that ability
I tapped the keyplate against the door and waited a moment for it to register the tap. Then waited another moment because nothing was happening. I checked the map.

Afterlife 2.0 Chapter 33 — Let’s finish dealing with all of this so I can go live my chuunibyou dream life
As I ran across the desiccated soil, buffeted by winds that would send any regular human into orbit, or at least tumbling towards the hole in reality, I only had one thing on my mind.

Afterlife 2.0 Chapter 32 — It’s a bit of a long story, is this really the time?
As usual, the PDF is the properly formatted version. But I get if you want to read it here. Underlined text is her Core System readout.

Okay, so either Patreon's text editor is missing a lot of standard features from editors like Google docs / The RR editor, or I have no idea how to access them.
