QA Book 5, Chapters 1 & 2

Hey Everyone,

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Sorry for the radio silence on my side, I was just working on a few things, and had a nice break away from Quest Academy. I'm slowly easing my way into it, and finding the beats that feel right. Here are two chapters for you to read, and my hope is that I'll have a few more next week. :)

I've been revamping the Discord with what will likely be the new tiers for Patreon. You don't need to worry about a change happening out of the blue. I'll be deciding in the next while and then announcing what's happening before rolling them out.

Fun Fact: I wrote 6 variations of Chapter 1. This was my favourite.

Fun Fact No. 2: I'm in Canada with Michael Chatfield at the moment, and we'll be heading over to Florida in a few days. It shouldn't interfere with my writing schedule. :)

All the best,
Brian

brian I love you

Nate

Wahoo thank you so much. The best way to start the new year!!! I hope you had a great break to relax and revitalise.

Deko

I thank you good sir, I look forward to where this goes! Buckle up lads we're on the way!

Thomas Todd

Welcome back and thanks for the chapters! I didn't know hink we'd get any until next week so this was a very nice surprise

Mike

You’ve made my week!!!

Samuel Mumma

Darn, we didn't get to see Upgrade's mind explode from presents.

daGrimm

Yay! Now I gotta read it.

Darnell Maxwell

1) Bought time he remembered Kane. 2) Do we have to talk with Hannah. Can't we just shove her into the background and forget she existed. Kinda like Kane.

Abdulmohsen

When did Gallant join Sal's guild? Last we saw him was at the end of book 3 after the tower trial and their relationship didn't end at a good note then. The only other mention of him was at the gala when Prestige told Sal that she was helping him because he would be influential in Gallant having a good life based on divinations she had about her son.

CHoobler

Yeah, Alex kinda sucks

Pickled Rick

Great to see Sal back at Quest Academy. I really hope he manages to pick up a healing skill now that it's not just him but also his father that needs it. Completely baffles me that he never tried to get one or even tried to upgrade somebody elses

Michelle Ray

Thank you for the awesome chapters and welcome back! Had great holiday, hope your holidays were enjoyable as well. Travel safe and look forward to more chapters.

Kerradeph

Why? Sal got some stuff on a promise of getting Alex various materials. It's now been several months and Alex hasn't heard pretty much anything about getting those materials. Seems reasonable to be rather frustrated with Sal as a result.

Kerradeph

I think something might be broken with your reader. That quote was fine for me.

Thomas Todd

If you're reading in Adobe in liquid mode it can screw with the paragraphs like that sometimes, turn it off and it should be fine

Dawn Zeleznik

Thanks for the chapters, they were great. Hope you had a good holiday and enjoy Florida. I’m heading there myself in early February.

CHoobler

Yes but, Alex works with crafters personally why would he expect a first year student to be able to compete a task like this in less than the three or so months after Sal said he couldn’t start until he was finished with the tower

Tim Walloch

Thanks for the chapters! Also, six versions of chapter one sounds amazing. Feel free to drop alternative chapters here too (more words = more better). It would also be fun to vote on the alternative chapters.

DasGoat622

I think Gallant had said he would join if Sal fixed his problem and between Perfect and the elixir I think he found the solution. So it’s just a matter of time before his problem is fixed. That being said not sure what kind of mental state Gallant is in.

Pickled Rick

My bad then. It was the only paragraph over the two chapters that had any issues so I thought it was just a typo paragraph that slipped through the cracks.

Sam

When sal was talking to Sakura about joining the guild, he told her that he could probably get gallant to join. This was before gallant went all battle frenzy during the tower run

BaguaBrady

Nevermind the unexpected changes to the curriculum that meant he couldn't spend the expected time on projects outside his needs. Does come off as a guy who shouldn't be talking to students like that, at the least.

Zeletavska

The different versions of chapters one: Sal on the Credit Floor Sal in the new Dorm Sal getting his first Coffee Sal going to a Dungeon Sal catching up with people in the Canteen As per Brian in the Discord

Jerrell B Simmons

If you need anything and in Orlando let me know in PM I live here

Rielgesh

Loved the chaps! My only issue is I want more! 😂

David

Great chapters! Cant wait to see what the gifts for his friends are, and the reactions to jackal once they go to a dungeon! I was just catching up with the final chapters of book 4 today, when I got the notification for the first 2 chapters of book 5, what a great way to start the week! TFTC!

Zeletavska

If you access Patreon via web app, the membership tab has the server invite link. And if you were asking what Discord is, it's a communication app. Brian hosts a QA Community server where we can chat with each other.

BaguaBrady

Fun start to the next book. Looking forward to the mini arc when Sal kungfu soccer's a bunch of arrogant young masters(students)

Barbara Collier

Awesome....totally worth the wait. Now get back to writing those fingers off.

Nate

It’s New Year’s Eve for me in New Zealand so I’m going to read the chapters tonight in bed and see in the new year

Andrew Tobin

I wonder, they have off time and stuff, I wonder if football is still a thing in this universe, or what they do for entertainment. They have tv shows with propaganda, but don’t talk evolved creatures for example.

Andrew Tobin

rofl, Sal”s priorities are a mess? I refuse to believe it!

Benjamin Hartmann

I want Sal messing with Upgrade 😂😂!!! But I appreciate the smooth start into the world of saviors. So much to discover 🤩. Wish you all a wonderful happy new year 🎉 🎆

Lumpenhans

Alex is always an Win, I'm already looking forward to the new project. Galant still wants to join the guild ? He wasn't so hot for Sal last time.

Chris Hoopes

Gallant was high on adrenaline and bloodlust on top of the tower. I'm sure there was alot of honesty that came out in that moment. The last time we saw him was in the back of the transport. The high had worn off and he realized he'd fucked up. We saw tears but to be clear we don't know if they were out of remorse for what he had done or what he had lost. He's either a great actor or an emotional mess inside at the end of book 3.

Lisa Johnson

Love it. I love how the story just hits the ground running:) so excited to see what happens next.

Robert Crews

Well I think I can t. Wait to see Fabis influence on Sal and his friends. Gallants fall into supervillianism and the Guild ofcourse.Erica will cause problems too.

Ron Blondeau

Great start to book 5. I love how Fabi leads Sal around by the nose, lol. Can't wait to see the interaction with Upgrade when she see jackal!

Naotsugu97

Welcome back! Good start on book 5!

Robert Crews

When is book 4 coming out

Zeletavska

Unless anything has changed recently there is currently no hard-set date. Current aim is end of March/early April for release. As per Brian on Discord.

C

Good chapters, still want to see upgrades gift.

Drew Wallace

Thank you! Can't wait to see what happens

Sam

Techically this one included Sal on the Credit Floor and Sal getting his first coffee. He made it to the dorm area but not quite to his room. No canteen or dungeon though, though dungeons were talked about. Brian managed to include most of it.

Sam

Difference is that Sal told Alex he had to go home to talk to his father about getting the supplies. This is his first time back since then. He hasn't had time to talk to Alex about whatever deal he might have made. Alex should have waited until he met up with Sal. If Sal hadn't mentioned the herbs, then Alex could have called him a charlatan.

BrianJNordon

I've moved onto Florida now, so I won't be back in Canada for a while. I haven't actually done any sort of official signings, I really don't think I'd be able to fill any sort of room with readers :D

Robert Crews

Is it bad.that I check patron account hourly for the next chapters

Robert Crews

I can't do discord so thanks for. The update

C

Happy Monday???

brett wolfe

I really hate the pdf formats

Lukster14

For some reason every time I try and access chapters 1-2 I just get a blank page that tells me how many words are in the chapter but that’s it. Anyone know of a workaround?

David

Too much Fabi. Sal is making decisions but it seems like she is directing his life. I miss when Sal solo crafted and determined his own path. Outside advise is good but he's bacially just doing whatever she says. He needs more autonomy and to act more like a guild LEADER, not follower

ts25679

Is there no text to speech functionality? Even my accessibility suite can't read it 😢
