《Transcendental Misappropriation (Book One of the Pentacle Series)》Afterwards

August 7th, 2017
I want to thank everyone that made it this far in my first book. I would like to point out that I have found the Royal Road community to be very supportive. I appreciate everyone’s comments, as they were, more often than not, polite and constructive (even when being severely critical). I also appreciate everyone’s tolerance early on when I didn't have access to MS Word and there were way to many obvious editing mistakes (Yes, I know there are probably still more).
Now, I apologize. Before moving on to book 2, I want to take some time to go back and address any glaring errors and plot loopholes you have noted in the comments I haven't had a chance to read yet. FYI – Also, I will be covering for a coworker and things will be crazy busy over the next 3+ months, but know I don’t want to hold off starting book two for too long.
I see now that in my quest to avoid making my character overpowered, I didn't have him grow enough. I created excel charts of Danny’s growth compared to the wizards, and he starts slow and grows exponentially as he ages while the wizards are stagnant. I will try and go back and alleviate this issue somehow with more “chemistry” action. I had plans for having major growth happening in the next book (hint: what happens to him at the very end of this first book), but that doesn't help me if I lose readers before they finish the first.
Please leave a review, if you haven't already, and honestly tell me what you liked and didn't.
As always, please walk near junk mail responsibly.

Reaching for One's Desire: Kane's Ascension
After living most of his life as a worthless orphan, Michael Kane only desired for the chance to make something of himself in this world of monsters and magic. In a world where only wealth and power mattered, he was literally at the bottom of the food chain. He fucking hated it. Always having felt that he was destined for something greater than what was essentially a beggar’s life, Michael held hope that things would change with the arrival of the Day of Gaia’s Gift, which happened exactly halfway through the year. It was the day in which everyone that was fifteen years old was given access to the System and was given a ‘Class’ depending on your aptitude, two if you were exceptional and lucky. It was his hope that he was given at least one class worthy of becoming an Adventurer, which would help him start his path to a life of wealth, fame, luxury and pleasure. Being an orphan that never knew his parents and having no one that he cared for nor that cared for him, it was not surprising that these were Michael’s goals. Little does he know, that he is destined for even greater things.
