《Rupegia》Announcement: Discord, Patreon, Blog, and Schedule
Advertisement
Hello everyone. Due to some overwhelming yes I took the plunge and started a patreon. With this things will be much more organized.
First, I made a blog. It's mostly where I will put links to everything, since I will start uploading Rupegia on other sites beyond this one and Scribble Hub, so I thought it would be nice to have a place where all links are available. There's also a slight chance of some chapters getting censored so I will put the uncensored version over at the blog if that ever happens.
Second, I made a Patreon. Support me if you want the story to grow and read chapters in advance. I will use some of the patreon money to commission art regularly once the goal has been reached. I never commissioned art so the target goals for them might be naive but I will adjust them when necessary, so far they are only preliminary. There's also two English dialogue standard goals over there, switching styles will slow me down for a while since I actually do have to type quite fast to keep up my release schedule but I can adapt. I may end up switching even if the goal hasn't been reached but it really depends on how busy I would be.
Third, here's the Discord. It's a place for discussion, talking to me, ranting at me, memes, and artworks that I will commission (including the lewd ones). I'm fairly new at Discord so forgive me if there are problems with the server.
Fourth, schedule. I won't change current chapter structure but I will slice them up in mostly 3 parts (around 3k words) and release them over the week. I didn't want to do this but the difference it makes for my popularity is very significant, if I want to get more exposition it certainly pays to release more often. The schedule will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8PM US East.
Fifth, expect Rupegia to appear in other sites soon.

8 95Memories of a Certain Spiritual Hourglass
Xavier Wright never felt special because he could see ghosts. To him, interacting with the dead was no different than being a talented musician or athlete. However, for Gigi Amokachi, Xavier was the last piece of the puzzle regarding her family tradition and her life-long goal to become a spirit hunter. And yet, both of them could not possibly imagine the consequences of their desires, the dangers inherent in a witch's promise, the unforgiving flow of time, and the foolishness of a lover's regret.

AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.
8 72Welcome to the Dungeon
Welcome to the Dungeon! A place of fun, miracles, arts and mindless bloodshed. Here, heroes, demons, monsters and everything in between are all gathered for the singular purpose of clearing the Dungeon. The sheer teamwork is breathtaking! Of course, there is no choice otherwise. A fact that Glen understands and dreads as he is forced through trial after trial he hadn't subscribed for. It is then that he realizes that there are only two options for people like him: continue or perish. Now, he's wondering if he chose correctly as he has to keep in mind the feisty wildlife, and to remember the simple fact of trying not to die. Author's Notice: the update schedule I'm aiming for is every Tuesday and Saturday. Should there be something preventing me from achieving that, I'll give a heads-up in the latest chapter author's note.
