Book 3 - Chapter 18 - Unfortunate Ending




Dear Readers,
It is sudden and unfortunate that I need to write this message to you. From Chapter 18 onwards I will no longer be posting this story on Royal Road. There are a number of reasons for how this has come about, some deeply personal that have been developing over time, but one in particular that has pushed me to act ahead of when I originally had planned.
As I have some particular goals for this tale and series in the next few years, it has become clear that I need to do this. Unfortunately this story has been re-published without my consent or knowledge (until now) on another site, right up to the current chapter. As I find this unacceptable and an issue in regards to the future options for the story, I feel that I need to act.
I will continue to release the 1st draft of this story regularly on Patreon for a token fee.
For those that wish to join me and continue reading as it is written, thank you in advance!
For those that are unable to continue with the story and have been reading and following this tale, thank you so much for your support, thoughts and kind words. It has been wonderful knowing that there are readers who have been following this tale, week to week and I feel blessed that I have had this experience. I hope that at some point in the future a published hardcopy or ebook finds its way into your hands and you are able to enjoy the tale once again.
At a later point, I might republish an edited copy of book 1 on Royal Road. But, for now I will leave the first 5-10 chapters as a stub with this message that the story will continue on Patreon.
Thank you, dear reader, it has been a blast!
Kind Regards,
JMMatheis
(P.S. Sorry about that chapter title, but the site that has been scraping my work will pick up this 'chapter' too.)

We all have dreams of becoming powerful, becoming the cool mage that rules the world, living as the dashing rogue who can steal a kingdom's entire royal treasury undetected, or perhaps, the valiant knight whose prowess on the battlefield is unmatched by all. However, when the apocalypse strikes, you can only use what you have at your disposal, be that guns, baseball bats, your fists, or maybe, just maybe, a shovel. One young man who goes by the name of Darenzo has just had his world altered into one that is now the focal point of some sort of experiment. Just at the end of his shift at the skip site, a worldwide announcement was made, that not only changed Darenzo's life, but also the lives of all of the Earth's inhabitants. Can Darenzo survive and thrive in this changed world? Or will his growing madness best him? The answers to these questions can only be revealed with time. [Goal of 2 chapters per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies] (The new cover art is a courtesy of the very kind and talented ssddx and was designed using the fanart cover of cthulupillar as the base.)
