《Ortus》Important Announcement!

Hello and happy new year!
To commerate the taking of 2021 around the back of the shed and shooting it in the head, I've decided to try taking writing more seriously and launch a Patreon page! You can find it at https://www.patreon.com/authoranno
There's a public post on my Patreon showing what you receive for pledging when the chapter goes live.
Disclaimer: The Patreon page charges upfront so as soon as you pledge, it takes your payment. Therefore, if it's near the end of a month, it's worth waiting until the 1st of the next month to avoid being charged twice.
What does this mean for Royal Road?
Nothing will change. I will continue posting chapters between 4500-6500 words every week on Saturday at 16:00 GMT. No content will be behind a paywall nor will I remove chapters from Royal Road in the future.
What does this mean for Patreon?
As a patron, you can access chapters weeks in advance. The current (and only tier) is £3 which gives access to two chapters (two weeks) in advance. They are in the pdf format and total between 9000-13000 words. They will also be posted every Saturday at 16:00 GMT.
My goal is to increase this to 5 chapters in advance for the same money so if you don't think it's worth it, wait a while and check back to see if there are more advance chapters.
What does this mean for everyone?
Consistent chapters every week without a month or longer breaks every now and then.
Also, there's been a bit of neatening things up with the story. Skill names now have [ ] around them, like [Leech]. I've changed this for the whole story so if you read older chapters and they lack square brackets or there are square brackets where there shouldn't be, please type a comment or send me a message to correct it.
Todays chapter will be released in 15 minutes from this post.
