Hi, everyone.

I have a lot of things to say, some very good, some sad.

Sanguine Paradise, my first true novel and attempt at creating both a world and story. There have been many ups and downs, but most of all, there has been learning. Which had always been the purpose of it. Many people from all around the world have come to read my work which has always been something I'm beyond grateful for.

Sanguine Paradise, as of today, will be discontinued, as I now move on to new stories, new worlds, and hell, even universes. I regret that I must drop the story I've spent a year writing on, and of which many enjoy. But this has been a long time coming.

Sanguine Paradise was a story that started simply because I had nothing better to do, even though I didn't like reading, much less writing. But it suddenly dawned on me is the story became something, something more than just a side thing, a hobby. I now, for the first in my life, have a passion for something I want to continue with for the rest of my life. Authoring stories and creating worlds.

Sanguine Paradise was amazing exactly because I felt a deep passion for it, it was a sandbox for all the things I loved in a story. But it was also founded on zero experience and abysmally little knowledge of how to write a proper story. It has for that suffered a lot from mistakes and has been built on shaky foundations. This doesn't mean it's a bad story, but it does mean that I'm restricted in the quality of work I can put out as I force out each new chapter of the story.

The story has been always built as an incredibly open-ended story that can literally continue forever if I wished it to. There is even set-up for when Xavier outgrows his world. It would take me another entire year to convincingly finish the story, which is, unfortunately, unfeasible for me.

I will release the last 20 Patreon chapters over the course of the next few days, but I will also write 1-2 more for closure. It will be abrupt, but that is the best I can offer. It has been a long ride, but for me as a creative mind, it's been long over.

Now that I look to new horizons, I am starting a project called; The Aethos, a universe sandbox for all my new novel series and more. The first addition to this universe is Tales of the Implock, A LitRPG Monster Evolution series. With this new story, I aim to put out something not only I myself will be proud of, but even you as a reader who has followed me through this long journey of mine.

I will have it professionally edited by a real editor and then self-published on Amazon. I will continue to write and release chapters on Scribblehub, Royalroad, and Webnovel.

On Patreon, you can still both support me and read chapters ahead of public release. Even some tiers will reward generous Patrons with full professional books long before publication.

You can already find the first five chapters of Tales of the Implock on Scribblehub.com and on Patreon, and over the next couple of hours, I will be adding 10 more new chapters on Patreon.

Thank you, everyone, for supporting me all this way. I genuinely can't express how thankful I am that others like yourself support me in the first thing I can see myself dedicating my life to.

Welcome to the Aethos.
