Notice of Hiatus
Scroll to the bottom to the bold text for the summary.I took a few more days than I had initially anticipated because I needed to make up my mind about Casual Heroing and, more in general, my writing. The rewrite of Casual Heroing has actually done much better than the first draft, which makes me incredibly proud. It's not common for a RR story to undergo a rewrite and come out better. Usually, rewrites end poorly. I was incredibly lucky to stumble upon Joey's story the first time around...
Break
I have to sort some stuff out for the plot. Things are not clicking in my head and the story suffers because of it. I'll be back on the 15th of April.
One Day Delay
One Day Delay strikes again.As per the title, the chapter comes out tomorrow.

SPARKS OF LOVE!?! ❤️💞💝Next chapter comes out on February 23rd!............Chapter 242 - A Night to RememberTrying to mingle among the Elves at a party is not the easiest thing to do.

A lot of [Merchants] are not happy with me taking control over all the bread supply, quite a few fields in the Green Stretches, and so on. It’s... not th...

WAIT, WHAT ABOUT DRAGON'S LEATHER?! 🐲🐲🐲Next chapter comes out on January 24th!............Chapter 233 – Dragon’s HateI pass my tongue over my top teeth, feeling some of the meat from the skewer stuck there. As I start picking at it with my pinkie, I ponder Aemilianus's words."You know, it's becoming really annoying how people know just about everything about me, and I don't know anything about them.""I mean, ask away," the guy replies with a smile....
