Adamant Blood 001-043 (not an epilogue to ar'k) (Patreon)

I'll still make another epilogue for Ar'Kendrithyst when I feel like it—

BUT FOR NOW YOU GET A WHOLE PART 1 FOR A NEW SERIES. 

126k words! the whole thing! in one post!

it's an epub so you need a reader for it; sorry. not putting 126k words into an email.

It's still by me, so it's pretty much the same sort of prose as Ar'Kendrithyst, and there are some numbers and they go up, but it's not the same sort of story.

Vein Cutter is set in an alt-Earth superhero world, with kaiju and walled city-states and a different, more alternate Earth right beside the first one. The main character is a 17-year-old kid named Mark Careed, who gets some bad news when his expected Awakening informs him that if he continues as he had planned he would end up as a brawny with a basic stronger body, just like 90% of every other Earthling who goes through the Tutorial. But if he does something drastic, with potentially dangerous consequences, he could end up with a whole lot more than that.

What to expect:

Slice of life, superheroes, monsters, magic, hard progression, post-apoc, sci-fi, few-but-important numbers (gamelit), difficult times, setbacks, disasters, kaiju, death, sadness, progression, no real cheats, eventual inventive use of powers, eventual politics, eventual real power, eventual superhero

This is the origin part of the story. 

What it's like:

Supper Supportive, Ar'Kendrithyst, Changeling

This is PART ONE of BOOK ONE, at 126k words.

Let me know what you think! (and I do mean that! I'll take constructive criticism. Consider yourself a beta reader, or not; up to you~)

I'll eventually start posting this to RR, but you guys get it first.
