Unaffiliated Healer is now available!

You can now pick up the 4th book in the Earthen Contenders series, Unaffiliated Healer, on eBook, paperback, and hardcover!

Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DMN8DM6M

Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DMN8DM6M

The audiobook is currently under production by Miles Meili and I'm hoping it will be out sometime in January!


_________________

Thaden is built for running dungeons solo, but in order to progress past his current Level, he’s going to have to find some friends rather quickly…

 

After resolving all the pending SPECIAL Quests that had been plaguing him, Thaden is finally ready to evolve his Class, where he can then continue to Level-up past his current limit.  Unfortunately, his current Evolution Assignment is proving to be a bit more difficult than his last one, as it requires him to complete one of the new Intermediate dungeons with a full Raid Party of at least 100 people without any casualties.  Throwing money at the problem might’ve worked in the past, but now there’s a complication that makes such a prospect nearly impossible.

 

The rise of the Contender Guilds.

 

Thaden has had his run-ins with the Guilds in the past, of course, but while he had been away for a while, the Assimilation System has embraced these Guilds and incorporated them into its mechanics, legitimizing them past the relatively loose groups of Contenders they were before and making them official organizations – with specific Quests to go along with them.  With Guild Quests including the completion of Intermediate dungeons and a Ranking system with ongoing awards, the competition is fierce – and no one is willing to risk their Ranking by taking someone not affiliated with their Guild along. 

 

With these obstacles in place, Thaden struggles to find a Guild willing to accept him as a member, even if only temporarily.  This is proving harder than it should be, as while his Class is undoubtedly powerful, information about it and the detrimental drawbacks it enforces on any party he participates in is now widely known. 

 

Will he be able to find a Guild inclined to giving him a chance, or will this unaffiliated healer be stuck at his current Level, unable to progress any further? 

 

This story contains an overpowered MC with a normally non-offense-based Class, LitRPG progression mechanics and stats, and isekai/portal fantasy elements.  Contains no sexual content or harems.

Corrupted SufFusion is now on audiobook!

The 6th book in the Magical Fusion series, Corrupted SufFusion, is now on audiobook!  Miles Meili narrated another awesome 18 hours of crafting and LitRPG greatness in this newest volume!

The elimination of a Calamity isn’tas beneficial as one might think…

 

After the frightening experience involved in closing thenorthwestern Calamity and rescuing his friend, Larek and his companionsdiscover that not everyone is happy about what they accomplished.  Forces behind the scenes have made lifedifficult for the “conquering heroes”, so much so that they are forced toquickly flee the area while they continue their search for Norde.

 

Unfortunately, once they arrive near the southeasternCalamity where Nedira’s younger brother is supposed to be, they encounter asituation that could lead to the downfall of the region, the Kingdom, andperhaps even the entire world.  Larek’sunique skills are able to solve some the more immediate problems, though thisis only a temporary fix.  A morewidespread solution is needed to save as many people as possible; a solutionwhich the Factions and the SIC have failed to provide, but Larek believes mightbe achievable with the help of his Fusions.

 

At the same time, the powerful Fusionist also discoverssomething about Corrupted Aetheric Force that could be the key to success.  In other words, the gradual suffusion ofCorruption throughout the world might not be the disaster he once thought, butinstead a boon upon which could lead to the survival of everyone….

 

This weak-to-strong MC story contains LitRPG elementssuch as character progression and statistics, as well as a heavy craftingemphasis. No explicit sexual content or harems.

Undisguised Healer is now on audiobook!

The third book in the Earthen Contenders series, Undisguised Healer, is now on audiobook! Miles Meili delivers another awesome performance in nearly 16 hours of LitRPG goodness!

Audible US: https://www.audible.com/pd/B0DKG1Z9SH

Audible UK: https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0DKG1X7XD

_________________


Forced to hide his identity up until now, Thaden soon learns that it may cause more trouble than it’s worth…

Even though he never intended it to happen, the events that occurred in the city of Forgestone have set Thaden on a course to fix the problems that he inadvertently caused.  His inner sense of responsibility has now put him firmly on the path to eliminate or at least minimize the destruction and loss of life that could occur from the fallout of the SPECIAL Quests he’s been assigned, so he is putting all his focus on accomplishing this feat as soon as possible.

 

Thankfully, his journey and interaction with other Contenders is helped by the changes the Assimilation System put into place a short time ago, reducing—but not eliminating—the likelihood that he will be attacked by those same Contenders.  Of course, time will only tell if everyone will get the memo and leave him alone; if not, he still has ways to move about in disguise, which he is hoping will be enough to forgo any problems that may come up.

 

But before he can throw himself into the search for the Anchor dungeons mentioned in the SPECIAL Quests he had been assigned, Thaden and his brand-new Class wants to find some stronger, more specialized gear with which to get himself better outfitted.  To that end, his first stop is to visit a dungeon that purportedly has a higher likelihood of having Support-Class drops; however, The Devil’s Nail turns out to be nothing like what he had been expecting….

Martial TransFusion is now on audiobook!

The 5th book in the Magical Fusion series, Martial TransFusion, is now out on audiobook!  Miles Meili put out another amazing performance in this latest volume! 

Audible US: www.audible.com/pd/B0DBJ8FMPD

Audible UK: www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0DBJ7LQG9


The Kingdom has changed morein his absence than he thought possible…

 

After traveling across the entirety of the Sealance Empireand the deserts of Lowenthal, Larek has returned home to the Kingdom ofAndrothe to find that the situation is quite different from what heremembered.  Not only are there massiveApertures called Calamities consuming large portions of the landscape, but mostof his friends are also scattered to locations unknown around the Kingdom.  Worse yet, they have no idea who he isbecause of the Dominion magic used on them before he was transported to theEmpire. 

 

Despite those setbacks, Larek is determined to reunite withboth his friends and his family. Problems arise almost immediately upon entering the Kingdom, however, ashe is presented with a delay of his reunion with them all.  As a result, he is forced to adapt to the sheerdevastation he finds himself surrounded with.

 

Through it all, there is one truth that is becoming moreand more evident as time goes on.  Aspowerful of a Fusionist he may be, Larek also struggles with fighting andanything more than basic combat tactics, as his skills in that department aresorely lacking.  It’s time to learn howto fight instead of just flailing around, swinging his axe and hoping that hishigher stats will carry the day.

 

In other words, the Fusionist needs to undergo amuch-needed Martial TransFusion.

 

This weak-to-strong MC story contains LitRPG elementssuch as character progression and statistics, as well as a heavy craftingemphasis. No explicit sexual content or harems.

Even though he never intended it to happen, the events that occurred in the city of Forgestone have set Thaden on a course to fix the problems that he inadvertently caused. His inner sense of responsibility has now put him firmly on the path to eliminate or at least minimize the destruction and loss of life that could occur from the fallout of the SPECIAL Quests he’s been assigned, so he is putting all his focus on accomplishing this feat as soon as possible.

Thankfully, his journey and interaction with other Contenders is helped by the changes the Assimilation System put into place a short time ago, reducing—but not eliminating—the likelihood that he will be attacked by those same Contenders. Of course, time will only tell if everyone will get the memo and leave him alone; if not, he still has ways to move about in disguise, which he is hoping will be enough to forgo any problems that may come up.

To that end, his first stop is to visit a dungeon that purportedly has a higher likelihood of having Support-Class drops; however, The Devil’s Nail turns out to be nothing like what he had been expecting….
