Minute Mage: A Time-Traveling LitRPG Progression Fantasy

Update

Hey everyone! It's been a while.

Sorry about the unexplained break from the series. I was okay, just had some family stuff come up and it took my attention away from writing, and when I came back, I realized I was having some severe motivation issues with Minute Mage. I'd always assumed these issues would solve themselves after taking a short break, but that has not seemed to happen. Unfortunately, writing Minute Mage has simply gotten harder and harder as I continue to do so. I think this is partially because of the fact that the beginning of the story was something I wrote several years ago at this point, and I've grown a lot as an author since then. There were foundational mistakes I made when writing early chapters that continue to make aspects of Minute Mage difficult to write today, and, while I enjoy writing something that puts my skills as an author to the test, being forced to constantly grapple with these issues every time I sit in front of a keyboard is mentally taxing.

Ultimately, I ended up making the decision to say this: I am taking an official break from Minute Mage. It'll be on hiatus, and I don't know when I'll return to it. I hope to continue the story someday---I still have a lot of ideas for what will happen next---but I'm not sure when that might be.

However, I am not quitting writing.

I waited a bit to make this announcement because I wanted to ensure I didn't leave you all without anything from me to read. And as of today, I finally have something for you---a brand new series, and one that I think is some of my best work yet.

A while back, just for fun, I decided to try spending some free time between chapters writing some new stories. And it turns out, I had a far easier time writing them than I did with Minute Mage. One of those ideas I decided to continue to develop, and it's recently reached a length of over 100,000 words---about an entire novel's worth of content. It's something I'm very proud of, and that I've been eager to share for a while now.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

You can find the story here. As of me writing this announcement, it has ten chapters available on RoyalRoad, but as I said above, there's a lot more that I have ready to upload that'll be releasing in coming days.

Here's the synopsis:

BLOOD MAGUS: A RITUAL MAGIC LITRPG

A ritual gone wrong gave him the world's deadliest Class—now all he wants is blood.

Zeth stole the most powerful ritual magic in the world from a mad cultist. A Class that's fueled by the blood of his enemies and human sacrifice. One that's illegal to use, punishable by gruesome death. And now that he has it, he's faced with a choice: hide away for the rest of his life from those who would hunt him down, or embrace the power, becoming the hunter to get revenge on the murderer that stole his friends' lives.

For Zeth, that's no choice at all.

His enemies have to die; and he plans to use every eldritch ritual, drop of blood, and demonic summoning he can to kill them.

I really hope you check this new story of mine out! It's something that I am seriously extremely proud of, and that I've put countless hours of work into---and hopefully, it's something I can keep writing for a very long time.

As the story is very new, doing things like reading, following, and especially rating/reviewing is extraordinarily helpful to its growth. So please, if you've enjoyed Minute Mage thus far and would like me to keep writing as a career, go read the story and give whatever support you can! I am extremely grateful for each and every one of you, and I wouldn't want to lose my community of readers when swapping from writing one story to another.

Anyway, that's all. Once again, please go check out my new story, and thank you all for reading Minute Mage. It's been an absolute blast, and I hope to see you around.
