Moving house!

Hi all!

Tomorrow is moving day! Woo! Also halloween. That I am less enthused about. I'm not a big fan of any holidays really, but halloween irks me because of how commercialised it has become. It's just a blah festival. Anyway, new chapter is out, and there is more of Cleo! It's got some focus on her journey and the introduction of a few new characters to boot! I hope you like them!

Also yes, Peter is based on a friend of mine. I hopes he likes the portrayal, Pete you creepy bastard!

Have fun!

The Hunt is on!

Hi everyone!

New chapter is up! It's coming up to my favourite chapter so far, and is the beginning of the introduction of the greatest of Xianxia habits, THE CLIFFHANGER! I hope people like it.

Nothing that new to report on my end, so I will keep this post short.

Chapter 7 - The Hunt

Enjoy!

Moving House and Writing Books!

Hi all!

Today is the day! The day for a new chapter! I know it happens every Friday, but I might not be able to keep to that next week as I am moving house next Saturday. I will try to, as I want to keep to the deadline, but I will not be using a computer much and my tablet kinda sucks for the whole editing thing.

In other news, the chapter is out, and it is an in depth piece into one of my favourite pieces of any story or game, the crafting system! (Yes I love minecraft) Don't worry, if you are turned off by crafting, this is not all this story will have to offer. There is also fighting, intrigue, romance, and even bad comedy! I hope you like the chapter!

What have I been doing this week? Well not much really. Getting ready to move, working, seeing mah lady, and trying to get ahead of the curve in chapters. The last one is the hardest, but I might actually do it this week! I probably won't though.

Hope you all enjoy it!

Chapter 6: Primeval

Not so surprise midweek update!

Hey all!

I wrote this on a whim a few days back and really enjoyed writing it. It's supposed to be read in a Scottish accent, so if you don't know what that sounds like just think of Groundskeeper Willie from the Simpsons. It's a short tale based on something I came up with in chapter 3 and I thought that I might write it. I will likely do that for a few of the pieces of literature mentioned in the series.

Not much is really happening to me at the moment. I saw Big Hero 6 finally a few days back, and that was hilarious. If you haven't seen it yet, Baymax is the most adorable robot ever, and you should watch it. Brooklyn Nine-Nine is funny as hell as usual, and the Flash is shaping up to be fucking awesome. I also can't wait for season 2 of Daredevil, because the first season was so good.

Either way, I hope everyone is well!

Golden Children and Translators Ending

Hi all!

New chapter for you all, with a new character and a bit of information about how one of the clans works in Babel. It's a shorter chapter, so to make up for it, I will be releasing a side story this Wednesday! It's going to be a surprise, but it's very different from the rest of the story so far. In fact I wrote it as if I was another person! (I was channelling Robbie Bruce and Lewis Carrol when I did.)

On a sadder note, Void Translations is ending its project of translating one of my favourite Xianxia novels, Xian Ni. I love the series and it makes me sad to see Void end the project, because if nothing else, the translation quality has been brilliant. I hope we get to see another group (HINT RWX/FBT PLEASE) to pick it up, as Er Gen is a master of the genre, and Xian Ni is just the right level of dark. Either way, I wish void the best, and hope that things go well for him.

A Path Well Trodden

Hi all!

I hope you like this new chapter, it's a bit longer and explains some of the mechanics of the story as we go ahead. The next few chapters are going to be packed with both information and plot, so keep your eyes open. I will begin on including major characters within the next 10 chapters, and we will have all the major characters of this story I hope introduced by chapter 20.

I've been reading Re: Monster, which is pretty good fun, but I'm up to date on everything that isn't translated through three languages and kind of rough on the eyes, so I will hold it at day 201 for now!

Other than that, I hope everyone has had a nice week, and I will see you all on Monday!

Me, Myself and Tony

Hello once again!

The third chapter is out, and it's a preamble for the first 'test'. Not much really happens in this chapter, but it does introduce a few important things. Perhaps you can pick them out, and perhaps they are not what you think!

I've been reading I Shall Seal The Heavens recently, and am currently loving the third arc. If you are enjoying what I am writing then please, check out WuxiaWorld and have a look at it if you already haven't read it.

The next chapter is almost twice the length of this one, so the story should ramp up a bit, but the next part is also a bit of an info dump. A lot of things will be explained about the world in the next five or six chapters.

Enjoy!

The Sword Itself

Hi all!

New chapter is out! Woo! I enjoyed writing this chapter, it's the first piece of combat in a series that should have a large amount of combat in it. As everyone knows, the best parts of Xianxia is the combat scenes and the training between combat scenes. It also goes begins to show the major plot point of the first book, It's not like it's hard to guess what that is.

Anyway, enjoy!

New Chapter!

Hello people! Today is the second release of Babel! I am very happy to say that I have finished this chapter, and am pretty excited about where the plot will go.

This chapter introduces us all to the MC. On a scale of Chen Chang Shang to Chu Feng, I am trying to get my MC to Tang San levels of reasonable personality. Over the next four or five chapters people will actually begin to learn about the Tower and life inside it, these will also introduce us to several recurring characters, so keep your eyes peeled as some characters who you might think are not coming back will be.

Here's the new chapter everyone! Have fun!

Prologue release!

So here I am announcing that the first chapter (the prologue) of Babel is released! Check it out HERE. I like this chapter, it's a solid way to start a story. A little bit of world and character building, even some tension thrown in there to excite the mix!

I hope people think it's good, and I will be seeing you soon!

Oh, I am going to try and publish something every Monday and Friday, so while the story won't necessarily be the fastest progressing it will still progress. I might even try and occasionally get a Wednesday release too, but I don't know about that. The main thing that is holding me back (other than my rampant procrastination) is my work schedule, so I hope it goes to plan, but the release schedule is TENTATIVE at best. I have also been thinking of writing a darker story with an evil protagonist or one that becomes corrupt, so I might put that up every Wednesday or every other Wednesday instead when I have got enough planning for that one.

Prologue: The End of an Era

Have fun!
