WE'RE ABOUT TO PARTY! 🎇🎇🎇Next chapter comes out on January 19th!............Chapter 232 – New Friends"Joey Luciani, right?" The man who just barged in here asks me, extending a hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you."I extend my hand, still keeping my guard up and ready to bash this guy's brains in if this is a ploy of any kind. But he simply shakes my hand with an apologetic expression."We're not meeting under the best circumstances, but take it up wit...

A NEW PLAYER ENTERS THE SCENE! 🧬🧬🧬Next chapter comes out on January 19th!............Chapter 231 – Magical Might"Pointers?" I smile, faking ignorance. The courtyard of Lucinda's home, where we are currently standing, is fully illuminated by the midday sun. The air quality is not the best in this part of town, but at least it's warm outside."A gentleman exchange of magic, without the need for any harm to occur," the [Archmage] fellow says, looking at me with his...

UNEXPECTED MEETINGS, THE WRONG ARCHMAGE! ✨✨✨Next chapter comes out on January 15th!............Chapter 229 – Back to itIt’s hard to explain what it feels like to lose something—or, at the very least, to think you’ve lost it.I walk through the bustling streets of Amorium on the morning of the seventh day since I began speedrunning the Cantrips. I’m not sure what happened because, well, I don’t remember anything past the moment my nose started to bleed. The Omnium Compendium was ...
Casual Heroing, Chapter 228
One thing: the [Druid] storyline is something that I cared very much about, but I ended up rushing it a bit and it's currently not well connected to the rest of the story. I will most likely add some chapters after this one that will have a different numbering (or maybe not, depending on when they get written), that will take place chronologically after today's chapter in the story. It's a weird announcement but it's because I've already written around ten chapters ahead of t...

UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENTS! 🧙🏻♂️🧙🏻♂️🧙🏻♂️Next chapter comes out on January 10th!............Chapter 227 - Aurora's Bakery, Part 1The [Princess] was still reeling from the decision Joey had taken. How could he dump all of this on her? Just when she had thought that the Human wasn't like the rest of his wretched race, since he literally came from another word, he had bailed.His bakery was now experiencing an almost insurmountable challenge since the grain...

What do you think it might be? Just wanting a bigger stake in the whole thing?""Perhaps.""Listen, old man. I have a question…""Yes...
Fever
I think I either got covid or the flu. Fever currently running at 102.7F/39.3CI’ll post again as soon as I’m healthy again. It’s been a torturous period lately health wise.I’ll probably take 4-5 days. Felt like shit yesterday and can barely open my eyelids without pain and cold sweats.Getting tested later.
One Week Break (Feeling Sick)
ARGH! We've just got to a part of the series that I love writing, with Joey doing some crazy shit and a few of my favorite characters (that weren't present in the first version) entering the scene.However, I'm a fucking wreck physically speaking. I am in constant nausea, strong abdominal cramps, and headaches. Now, I don't know if the antibiotics are about to make my liver pop or what, but I've only got three days left on my treatment before I can finally go back to normal. M...

SETTLING BUSINESS! ⭐⭐⭐Next chapter comes out December 18th!3/3 chapters this week!.............Chapter 225 – Baking PlansAs I leave Lucinda's house, I make a mental list of the things I need to take care of.First, magic, I tell myself, squinting slightly. Well, actually. First, send a note to Irene. Not a good look, but I don't have any more time to waste.As I walk toward Aurora's Bakery, I ask a question in my mind.Old man, are you there?Yes, young Luciani. I'm here.Grea...

But the warmth it usually carried seemed to have been snuffed out by the shadows that hung heavily in his eyes. She scruti...

TIME FOR ACTIONS! 🔥🔥🔥Next chapter comes out December 11th!3/3 chapters this week!.............Chapter 223 – FuneralsWhat do you do when someone dies? Or what do you do when someone dies, and the person you are with is far from you, far from your touch? What do you do when you can't get close to them because you must stay in the back unless you want to cause a commotion?I have a hood over my head as I watch a rather somber function – Irene standing behind a [Captain] that had app...

One-Day Delay
Been feeling under the weather today, probably coming down with a little fever. I’ve got a second health check-up that should put my anxieties at rest once and for all with the matter I had mentioned a few weeks ago. I’ve been cleared by the first doctor and making sure I’m all good before Christmas hits and all doctors flee to warmer abodes.Anyway, I hope you‘ll be able to forgive the lower productivity you have witnessed. The chapter will come out tomorrow. Thank you for your patience....

WOOF WOOF! 🐶🐶🐶Next chapter comes out December 4th!3/3 chapters this week!.............Chapter 220 – RoyallyOur steps echo in the Dungeon. [Princess] Laurealia's heavily armored figure is by my side as I walk through the same corridors that I went through the first time around. The opening that [Captain] Drusillus has drilled into the rock with the help of [Geomancers] is quite far from where I ended up—roughly a half-minute trek away.'Spatially distorted Dungeon.'That wa...

AN INTERROGATION?! 📌📌📌Next chapter comes out December 1st!2/3 chapters this week!.............Chapter 219 – Dangerous ThoughtsStan's deep eyes seem to harbor the weight of many lifetimes; they have the look of a man who'd walked countless miles on a road paved with decisions and consequences.

HE CAN'T EVEN SPEAK TO HER?! 😲😲😲Next chapter comes out November 24th!2/3 chapters this week!.............Chapter 216 – RelationshipsThank you, Jesus—the [Princess] opted to leave her Royal Guard stationed outside. I'm not well-versed in the intricate intricacies of royal decorum, but I'm reasonably sure that having the guard’s eyes fixed upon the [Princess] during a fitting session would be quite inappropriate. Not to mention, what she's trying on isn't even re...

The past two months have been the average whirlwind of American hyper-...

"We are going for a mostly pink theme here. It's something that came from our old bakery, Happ...
Casual Heroing, Chapter 212
Your [hopefully] favorite writer has returned!I've been dealing with some [hopefully minor] health concerns, among other things, so you'll have to do with three chapters this week instead of four. Hopefully, after my visit on Wednesday and some tests later this week or next week, I'll be able to put all my head fully back in Casual Heroing instead of having hypochondriac episodes because of the public healthcare system and its terrible slowness. As soon as I clear up this issue, I...
Casual Heroing, Chapter 211
Yours truly had to scrap all chapters written this week because they were absolute fucking vomit. Therefore, I'll take a week-long break to rewrite to avoid turning Casual Heroing into a Maid Cafè JRPG and getting put on the gallows for it. I'm an idiot, my bad.——————BAKING WHAT?! 👑👑👑Next chapter comes out November 13th!4/4 chapters this week!.............Chapter 211 – Baking Princess, Part 1“I’m not going anywhere, Human.

I was advised against it, but I believe it to be necessary.’I look at Tullia for a few mome...
