《Magnus》Book Two: Afterword & BIG (Publishing) Announcements
Advertisement
Afterword
Phew! We're finally at the end of the second book! It's unreal that there are so many of you reading this story now! In this book, we took a bit of a different turn as compared with book one. Given the events that happened in the first book, and given what they were up against, most of the plot events of this book kinda fell in place automatically; MC's situation drove his actions in (what I hope) ended up being a plausible way. We also shifted a bit from Fantasy more back to science fiction here, which I honestly fretted over for a long time. RR really loves fantasy, but I hope I've accomplished something that balances the two genres here.
Quick note: I'm going to be going back and adding a scene with Xikanika back when the girls stay overnight at her castle in order to build out Nova's and Xika's friendship as well as showcase Xikanika's calculating side. She'll show her concern for Nova and her guilt over giving her up to the Legatus, but she'll also ask probing questions into the Resistance, which Nova will not answer. Hoping to give some foundation to her character to set up to the later events in the book.
Book Three Announcements
As for what's next? Book three is titled Prime War and it's quite frankly insane. It's definitely the craziest book of the trilogy and SO much happens. Tons of twists and turns that I bet none of you will have seen coming. As of right now, I have 56 out of 59 chapters of book three written. That's actually very behind schedule - I haven't even begun editing the book yet. So, I'm gonna need a bit more time with this one. The good news is that I no longer need a buffer to write the next book since book three is the final installment in the Magnus trilogy.

That said, I'm budgeting 29 days for editing. Regardless of where I'm at, I'll start serializing the book at its normal pace on day 30. HOWEVER! When I finish editing the last chapter, chapter releases will accelerate to once a day until the book is finished! Woohoo!! More Magnus, coming to a Royal Road near you!
And that brings me to my final, biggest announcement.
Publishing Announcement
It's hard to imagine, but I've now spent thousands of hours of my life on this series. When I started this journey all the way back in 2018, I never thought it'd become what it has today, and none of it would've been possible without you, my readers, and your epic comments and support! So it is with great joy that I bring you this announcement.
The publisher Aethon Books has picked up the Magnus trilogy! The story will be receiving paperback, e-book, and audiobook editions, and all three books will be receiving professional editing and brand new covers.
In fact, book one has already been edited, and the cover is done and it is EPIC!! Sadly, my publisher doesn't want me to share that until we go live with the books, but rest assured, I'll paste it as soon as I can!
What does this mean for you?
Not a whole lot for current readers, actually. When I signed the contract, I made sure they would be cool with me posting the entire story on RR before publishing. That said, I will have to take the story down from this site as the books release, starting with book one, which will publish in a few months. Then book two will be taken down a couple of months later, finally followed by book three - probably towards the end of this year. We'll have long finished serializing by then. I'm going to update the synopsis to mention that the story is going to be taken down, so if any of your friends have been meaning to read Magnus, now's the time!!

So, with that all said, I am once again asking you for your support! But seriously, when the book sales do open, I would be eternally grateful if you'd consider purchasing a copy, and leaving a rating or a review on amazon! I've never once opened a patreon for this story, nor have I asked for money, and your purchases and reviews will greatly help the book become more prominent on the site. The more people who see it, the more sales I'll get. So let's spread Magnus to as much of the world as we can!! I think amazon even lets you review if you haven't bought the book, so just that would help a ton as well!
Alright, so that's it for my plea/beg! I'll post progress updates in the author note above this chapter as I make my way through editing. It's been an epic journey writing Magnus and bringing it to all of you thus far, and I'm incredibly excited to see where book three takes us. I shall see you all in exactly one month. Until then! Kick ass and chew bubblegumjust kick more ass!
PS: I need ideas for book three's chapter graphic icon. I realize that's hard without knowing the contents of the book, but feel free to throw out your ideas(along with how it evolves. cUz It'S gOtTA eVoLvE)

As the son of the clan head and the next heir, that just wasn’t enough of an excuse to spare me from my father’s grueling training. For in his creed the only strength that mattered was that grasped in one’s own two hands. In my journey through the lands with my harem, I was grateful for his training as it saved my life multiple times when my girls weren’t there to engage in combat. This is my story."

The Ocean Flame Palace Host
Schedule: I am officially going on an indefinite hiatus. Sorry to all readers but I just don't have any more ideas. Hai Yun is the youngest Divine Rank Alchemist on the Scarlet Flame continent. He was an orphan picked up by a wandering Alchemist Grand master and raised in the Crystal Ocean Alchemy Sect. As he soon got bored of refining other people’s recipes, he started creating his own. One such recipe was of an elixir that can allow one to retain their memories through reincarnation. He thought this heaven defying elixir could bring about a new golden age for alchemists, to let them keep all of their experience after death. However it only brings about a calamity as the other powers of the martial world immediately begin lusting after this divine object. They attack the Crystal Ocean Alchemy Sect en masse, razing it to the ground. To keep them from getting it, Hai Yun devours the Elixir and obliterates his body so they can never even find another trace of it in this world. However, in his reincarnation a series of very interesting things happen… Glossary: Wuxia Fantasies ***DISCLAIMER*** I do not own any of the artwork which was used in the book cover.

Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: End of the Five, Twenty-three, and Twenty-nine Years Story
Alternate titles: - Five, Twenty-Three, Twenty-Nine Years - 5, 23, 29 "Dad? I think I got a really bad fever, why do I still feel fine?" "It feels cold..." Five years ago, Owen became a Court Wizard in search of his father who was lost to the unknown three years prior. But that wasn't the beginning of the story. Maybe it began twenty-three years ago when Ronald Bell and Joshua Ruze saved the Illyer family. Or perhaps, it all started twenty-nine years ago, when Ronald, the son of the wealthiest merchant, became a Court Wizard. Well, it doesn't matter anymore, for the story five, twenty-three, and twenty-nine years ago shall now meet its end. 2nd book written in the Wizards of the Otherworldly series. Read Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia first. This story is split into two 'Collections,' Ronald's Collection and Owen's Collection, each centering around those Court Wizards. Crossposted with WordPress site, Wattpad, Sufficient Velocity, and Rainobu. Wizards of the Otherworldly Court is a fantasy story about the Otherworldly Court, an inter-dimensional (or world-hopping, you get the idea) organization made up of people of all ages, gender, and race from many parallel or different worlds. They are granted elemental-like magic powers and called themselves 'Court Wizards'. They are tasked to watch over the many worlds they come across and step into these worlds on 'missions' to preserve the balance, life, order, anything to make said worlds better places in the shadows but may reveal themselves if necessary. However, these missions may partially or even fully oppose their nature, personal interests, and ideals. Yet, most of the Court Wizards are aware and willing to complete even the worst missions that would shatter their true selves that they will never cast aside regardless, either growing or regressing because of it. Basically, it's isekai to multiple worlds but each book after Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia focuses primarily on one world while also discussing its lore in detail. Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like Jojo.
