《Devourer of Destiny》Book 1 Afterword

I did it!... Finally...
This has been a strange journey with some false starts. But let's cover more important stuff rather than wallowing in all that, shall we?
Firstly, if you are reading this and it's not on or from Royal Road, you are sailing the high seas! Not that I mind, this is free and all, but you should probably know that so that you aren't expecting things like typo fixes and interaction.
(Yes, I am leading with that because someone is already hosting this on their site without asking. Sigh.)
New Chapters & Release Schedule
Beginning with Book 2, new chapters are set for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week. These will be automated releases scheduled through Royal Road's system and I'll flip on the thing that shows the next expected release on the fiction page once I begin batching these.
I am setting the bar for chapters low but there will likely be more than three chapters a week. Any additional chapters I manage to conjure up will get slotted it on other days.
Book 2 and beyond are fresh chapters reimagining the scenarios from before. Book 2 in particular has some major changes to its premise. I'll talk about the inside baseball on all that under a spoiler in the comments here.
Keeping the Novel Available
After what happened previously, I need to take steps to ensure people who want to keep reading this can. Let me begin with emphasizing something: there will never be a Patreon for this novel. If I put in the time and effort a Patreon novel deserves, I'd be finished with it before the end of this year (versus around 2 years at a 3 chap/week pace), which doesn't make for a good Patreon so it's just not happening. This novel ends at Book 7 and each Book will be about the same size as this one and that is not changing.

But without a Patreon, people need something to assure them they can hold on to the novel and it won't just disappear again. So what I am going to do going forward is release a free EPUB of each Book as they are completed. These are yours to keep, forever. Now I have no reason to hit the delete button.
This novel will also not randomly become a stub out of nowhere while it is active. If there is a Kindle Unlimited release, it will come after it is finished and everybody here has had ample chance to nab the EPUBs first. I don't see this happening -- I don't think this is a commercially viable work -- but that's how it will happen if it does.
And that's it. Thanks to readers both old and new for checking this out. I'll do my best not to disappoint this time.

Agent of the Alternates
This is the first Well of Souls story. Nathan Hunter, as well as five hundred other seniors at his high school, found themselves pulled into the deadly game in an alternate dimension of their school, where they had to survive against increasingly tough monsters while completing a series of Challenges as their numbers continued to dwindle with no end in sight. With no way off the property, nor any way out of the alternate and back to their real dimension, Nathan and his classmates battle for survival in the hopes that eventually, they will be freed from the game. Warning: Things will get repetitive at times, particularly after Arc 1. The reason for this becomes clear in the first couple of chapters of Arc 2. It is simply the nature of the lives they lead.
