Hello, Riz Tales here!

Ah. . . The dreaded .5 chapter finally arrived.

First of all, I’d like to thank all the readers who support . You guys are amazing and all the supportive comments really came in clutch at times to inspire me to keep up the good work.

Today doesn’t mark the end of a season since it has only recently begun, but the long-awaited break for me has finally arrived which had been originally delayed. I’ve been going at it for eight months now without a single day missed and I’m quite proud of that. In fact, the same consistency can be expected once the break is over with a few changes by the end of the year which I’ll address at the bottom.

The break will last until August 22nd on Royal Road and August 18th on Patreon, basically two weeks while I’m out of the country and joining the cast at a beach. After a break, I will resume the series.

I ask for the readers’ generous understanding, and will return with even more entertaining content!

While I’m leaving you without your weekly dose of , you can check out my other series in the meantime that just started, ! It is a new series I’ve been working on in the background with intention of publishing in August.

Stay safe and see you guys soon!

In a world where one's bloodline and talent determined how far they can go, Alexander appeared to get the short end of the stick; born from a prestigious bloodline yet displaying no particular talent while under an unknown mana curse that prevented his body from absorbing mana. Having never known his biological father and his mother marrying a Duke years later left him ridiculed by many over the years as the shame of the Kallis family. This dark fantasy web novel follows the story of Alexander as he attempts to grow into his own destiny while plagued by nightmares of a dark and hopeless future where monsters ravage the world.

Post Note:

I’d like to personally thank everyone who at any point and time made the effort to support me over on Patreon. It is thanks to you guys that I finally get to go on vacation after three long years of missing out and quite honestly I’m really looking forward to it.

In addition, there is some more news that I wish to announce.

Firstly, from this point on I shall be adding mini art pieces at the end of a chapter, so I hope you enjoy them. There won’t be a lot of them at first but as time goes on I plan to add variety. If you have any suggestions on what characters and poses I could go for, leave them in the comments and I’ll see to it to be done.

Secondly, I’ve mentioned a change of plans by the end of the year and I meant it. From January 1st, 2023. will be going from two weekly chapters to one. However, don’t worry as that means that I can invest more into quality by having more time to work on a chapter while not worrying about being late. This in turn would make the chapters longer as well. The change hasn’t been finalized and will be determined by how well I manage to perform upon my return until the end of the year. Publishing four chapters weekly does sound like a lot of work but if I manage just fine, there won’t be any changes.

Hope you have a great summer!
