Sen tried to work as quickly as he could to help the injured, but things only grew more chaotic as people poured out of the gates. Some came looking to find loved ones, while others simply wanted to see what had happened. There were wails of grief...
2024-02-21 06:39:27 +0000 UTC View PostIt took longer than Sen would have liked to get to the battle because he had to keep dodging around panicked townspeople. Granted, it only added a few seconds to his journey, but he knew as well as any warrior that seconds could cost lives. Howeve...
2024-02-20 05:28:08 +0000 UTC View PostSen had a lot to think about when he took Liu Ai back to the town to get her new clothes. He was so caught up in his own thoughts that Ai had to poke his cheek to get his attention. He blinked and looked at her. He had a dim recollection that she ...
2024-02-20 03:55:08 +0000 UTC View Post“You’re angry with me,” said Falling Leaf.
Sen glanced over at the ghost panther, noting the unusually intense look in her eyes. He’d known this conversation was coming. He just wished she’d picked a more convenient time for it. Wa...
2024-02-18 05:03:29 +0000 UTC View PostLaughing River frowned as he thought about the ghost panther kit. While his transformation skills weren’t the same as those used by other spirit beasts, he would have been willing to bet that he knew as much about the process as any spirit beast...
2024-02-17 04:02:36 +0000 UTC View PostLiu Ai was ecstatic when she saw Sen in the morning, jumping up into the chair to hug him as hard as her little arms would let her. That held up for about five minutes. Then, she remembered she was angry with him.
“You weren’t here!” s...
2024-02-16 06:15:28 +0000 UTC View PostMindful of Fu Ruolan’s words, Sen relieved Glimmer of Night from watching over Liu Ai. Granted, it mostly involved telling the spider he didn’t need to stand at the girl’s door, but Sen found it relieving that she hadn’t been left entirely...
2024-02-15 07:34:44 +0000 UTC View PostIt only took about an hour of wandering through the town for Sen to yearn for a place like Grandmother Lu’s shop. A place where you could find a bit of everything, as long as it was meant for mortals to use. Instead, he had to ask where to find ...
2024-02-13 15:21:50 +0000 UTC View PostSen opened his eyes and looked down. A mop of disheveled black hair met his gaze. Liu Ai was using his chest as her bed, having come looking for him after another bad dream. He had still been awake, idly trying to make shapes out of shadow qi. He ...
2024-02-12 05:54:44 +0000 UTC View PostSen stepped out of Fu Ruolan’s home with a mildly perplexed expression on his face. It turned out that what came next was not even remotely what he thought would come next. Sen had fully expected the woman to go into a full-blown explanation of ...
2024-02-11 02:41:15 +0000 UTC View PostSo, as usual, my birthday sort of snuck up on me. Today, I'm turning mumble-mumble years old. More importantly, I survived another full orbit of the earth around the sun. Yay me!
So, a few things are happening behind the scenes in Eric...
2024-02-10 18:47:45 +0000 UTC View PostSen turned his gaze back and forth from the corner to where Fu Ruolan now stood. His teachers had told him about things that were like what he’d just seen, but this was different. The techniques he’d been told about were just advanced...
2024-02-09 21:53:34 +0000 UTC View PostDespite his misgivings about what he might find when he got back, Sen was surprised to discover relative tranquility. Fu Ruolan had decided that the best thing for a young child was to have something to chase. So, she had conjured qi constructs fo...
2024-02-08 10:45:43 +0000 UTC View PostFalling Leaf stared at Misty Peak like she thought the fox woman was particularly slow. She gave Sen a look that, for once, was not that hard to translate. Why do you put up with this one? The ghost panther adopted an expression of patien...
2024-02-07 02:29:55 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, I obviously haven't been on here or on Royal Road the last couple days. Nothing catastrophic happened. I just went to bed on Saturday and, when Sunday rolled around, my body just noped the fuck out. I basically spent the last two days doing ...
2024-02-06 14:18:47 +0000 UTC View PostSen didn’t quite know what to make of the scene that greeted his eyes. The foxes, who he had just assumed were going to be the problem, were still sitting at the table where he’d left them. Of course, that didn’t mean they hadn’t caused th...
2024-02-03 18:44:03 +0000 UTC View PostOkay. So, I looked into a variety of options for selling signed copies. None of them are especially easy or particularly cost-efficient methods. It also turns out that Patreon's shop is strictly for digital content/items only. That's something I m...
2024-02-03 06:51:55 +0000 UTC View PostSen was a little relieved that the tree cutters lived near the edge of the town in a truly modest but well-tended home. He wasn’t looking forward to making a show of carrying the injured man through the town on a qi platform. He would have, but ...

She dashed...
2024-02-01 16:36:58 +0000 UTC View PostSen had seen a lot of strange spirit beasts in depths of the wilds, from the damnable bear-cats to birds made entirely of fire. He’d even once been attacked by something that looked like the bastard child of a pangolin and a massive ivy plant. H...
2024-01-31 06:08:13 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, so I had a moment of realization. While I couldn't use any of the suggested blooper ideas for the final text I submit to my publisher...I absolutely could use them to give you all a Patreon-exclusive bloopers chapter. That's right, this ...
2024-01-30 03:50:21 +0000 UTC View PostOkay. Yeah, it seems I'm completely incapable of not writing. But these days off do give me the chance to purge ideas like this one that tend to clutter up my brain. Enjoy! ~Eric

2024-01-29 04:44:20 +0000 UTC View PostSen stood on the opposite side of the road from Glimmer of Night. The two were tossing a spent beast core back and forth. Well, thought Sen, I guess it’s tossing for us. In reality, the core was zipping back and forth between t...
2024-01-28 02:56:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe two men guarding the gate never even had a chance to be startled. One moment they were half-watching the forest. The next moment, their heads were rolling away as their bodies slumped to the ground. The heavy wood of the gate was no more of an...
2024-01-27 06:49:19 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, the day has finally arrived! The audiobook version of Unintended Cultivator: Volume One is live on Audible! I'm a little less familiar with how Audible works internationally. So, I'm just going to provide some links to major markets. Hopeful...
2024-01-26 12:19:34 +0000 UTC View PostMisty Peak had given him an annoyed look when Sen put his foot down. She’d been trying to convince him to just take her along when he returned to Fu Ruolan. He had, for his part, reiterated the point that the reception would not be good and that...
2024-01-26 11:59:07 +0000 UTC View PostLi Yi Nuo had spent the last few weeks trying to speak and be noticed as little as humanly possible. The fox woman seemed to have dismissed her from mind entirely, which was a relief after the humiliation of being captured by the woman. Yet, it wa...
2024-01-25 07:45:23 +0000 UTC View PostDeciding that since he was already awake, he might as well get up, Sen pushed himself into a sitting position and opened his eyes. And froze. The interior of the galehouse was in utter ruins. The only things left standing were the outer walls, and...
2024-01-24 11:05:52 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, so the first thing I wanted to talk about is that Unintended Cultivator: Volume One has hit something of a milestone over on Amazon. It's now in the top 500 ebooks on the site overall! Granted, those overall site ranks bounce up and down all...
2024-01-23 21:43:02 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Laughing River woke him up, Sen didn’t speak. He just forced himself to stand with gritted teeth holding back the pain. He stumbled to the fireplace, dropped down in front of it, and went to work. He wouldn’t call what he did anything rem...
