Patreon Tiers changing this week
Book 4 being removed this week
Next 8 Chapters of Book 5

Hey Everyone,

First of all, the engagement on the last batch of chapters was actually insane. There were so many likes and comments, and it was lovely seeing it. Really glad they landed with so many of you. There are changes and corrections that'll need to be done on them. Downside of releasing so many at once is that mistakes are more common.

Last week I said there wouldn't be another 8 chapters. Turns out I'm a liar. There should only be another couple of chapters to wrap us up, I'm just thinking through them at the moment.

Patreon Tiers are going to be changing this week. You don't need to worry about anything, as I'll be grandfathering all current members, which means unpublishing tiers so they'll no longer be joinable, but you won't be impacted unless you cancel your membership. I'll be making a post with the final chapters, explaining the new tiers. :)

(For those that are new here, I'm still using the Wildcards tiers from 5 years ago, and I need to update everything for Quest Academy with appropriate rewards)

Okay, with all that admin out of the way, I really hope you all enjoy these. :)

You just made my day!!! Tftc!

Agalia

This drop is not what I needed when I'm lying in bed at 1am with work in the morning lol

Thylayb 1970

Woot!!! Can't wait to read them!!!

Pickled Rick

Almost done with the book is both another huge achievement but also bitter sweet as there will no doubt be a gap between Book 5 and 6 for your well deserved holiday. To my fellow fans if it's not against any T&Cs would love to see a full pdf of Book 5 once all the chapters are available so I can reread completely uninterrupted again before it's published in presumably November time. I would do it myself but I am just really lazy.😂

Deko

Thank you for all the chapters!

R. Skye

Thanks for the chapters! Definitely an enjoyable way to keep me busy between meetings, project reviews, and such.

Heather Herren

Awesome. It looks like Sal is redirecting his goals! It will be fun to see where this leads.

Anders

Truly appreciate the surprise chapters as well as grandfathering us in on your adjusted tiers. Out of curiosity, will you be opening more NPC, hero or villain slots? Would enjoy the opportunity to engage with you at any of those levels if there is availability.

Sam

When did Hannah actually join the Guild? I thought she was going to wait. Now we know the most likely reason that Divinity isn't joining the guild. Really hope that Robert doesn't make Divinity spy on Sal. Looking forward to where the Guild is heading in the future. Another great book, Brian. Keep up the good work and we'll keep buying your books :)

Andrew Tobin

Daaaang, how do the chapters keep stopping when it’s starting (continuing?) to get good?! So happy to meet Oswald - always love it when good guys make it thru. The meeting was amazing. I was kind of annoyed with Quest (when are we not annoyed with Quest?) for not taking in what Sal said about mobilising the students in the recovery process, although I guess that’s something that needs organising, supervisors, etc. Vanessa still best girl. So glad Barry is Barry again, I miss him. And more importantly, Divinity! So glad Vinny is back in the picture, and we’re learning all that has been holding her back. I am hoping we get some good, happy, enthusiastic Vinny moments, like the early days again.

Thomas Todd

Great chapters, love seeing Sal take his spot as Guild Master. The fight was perfect in that it solidified his conviction, but rather than having it be a theoretical. I would like to say, Brian you are a cruel cruel man ending the chapters before Divinity came out of Athena

Alteron

Thanks for the chapters, really curious what happens next.

Zwil

amazing.

Will Campbell-Jones

No, Divinity!! Glad Sal is helping her feel better. It sucks that she's so used to suffering in silence.

Iron Akela

Sooo good!!!

Bettafish

"Punish the person who's job is to detect which of the constant stream of incoming problems might be a big problem because she missed a spot after catching at least 5 others that we know of" Robert is not looking great coming out of this batch.... again. Between this crap, the people just accepting that their homes are gone again with resignation, Shade and Feirce im starting to see why Bastion is still a credible threat in the world. Everything is still stuck in this cycle of panicked last stand at the top with whatevers getting the best immediate results getting overly emphasized and everything swerves to support it and that's violently undercutting consolidation twords actual gains

R. Maxwell Steele

She's not joining for the wrong reasons though. Mythic guild could easily set up her family and take the burden off her back.

R. Maxwell Steele

Hopefully they reprogram Athena to understand economics and that humans have become dependent on fighting and harvesting. So the whole extermination plan seems like a plan to collapse the entire human infrastructure. They'd have to create a whole new society at that point.

AJ

I agree with Sal Athena is just terrifying in every sense of the word like he just created the machine version of skill master and coach

Pickled Rick

Glad I waited until I read everything because my last question was going to be about if Athena could perform unknotting and if these action plans help a person naturally unknot their weave. Point of clarification but Sal's Athena profile mentions Arkwright. Is this because of the crafting lessons it can give Sal? Presumably letting Arkwright do all the building will not allow Sal to progress his Mythcrafter skill as it wouldn't be stressing his weave. Potential error: Mythcrafter is shown for Sal to be Factor 2(Legendcrafter) instead of Factor 3. At first I thought it was because his grade didn't match his weave but then Divinity was correctly recognised as Factor 4 despite her skill levels being at Factor 2 level as well.

Madisyn

Does that mean we can purchase a tier that puts a character named after us in the story like it has for the levels for wildcards?

Ant

DIVINITY.... What a place to leave it. Oh well. Great set of chapters again. Looking forward to Divinities reaction... and everyone else's when they find out that it has been confirmed that Athena can push people skills through ascension when they're ready.

Jeff Barton

chapter 85 sal has mythcrafter factor 2 grade 20, but a few sentences later it's classified as factor 3?

Uncle Snoo

Was hoping to see Athena tear Sal down after what Upgrade said. Kinda disappointed.

Naotsugu97

Great chapters! And kudos for the Cliffy McClifface!

The Foolish One

Next, some Fabi and Sal time is needed.

Ira White

Why does it seem easier to wait 6 months to 2 years to wait on a full book then it does to wait a week for a few chapters? Is it just mind demanding instant gratification and the obsession to know what comes next? Yup I've been up to long lmao. Thanks for the chapters. I'll come back and post more after I reread them and get some sleep 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Ant

Also it looks like she might be getting those wings a little sooner than anyone thought.

Rielgesh

Tftcs! Loved these! Can we also get a skill progression list for skill master? I'm super intrigued how that'd be improved

nin10do

I love that the first person to have their weave interacted with is divinity and the madien voyage of Athena to automatically upgrade weave and I love the way that it was Sals interactions from book one with her weave being a mastery issue and as well as divinity being Sal first real friend who accepted from the first moment making the whole thing more meaningful

Orod

Why do these chapters have to dropped while I'm at work 🤣. I can't concentrate until I finish reading them all.

Dawn Zeleznik

Glad I read first this week instead of posting out of happiness to see new chapters. So, Athena seems to have a few more surprises in store. I wonder if it got the idea because Sal was wearing the visor and was thinking he could easily help Divinity. As always, never enough to read. Thanks for more great work.

Semper Malus

If those two dont wind up together im going to be very upset. Sure fabi is smokin hot and compliments Sals crafting but Divinity drives Sal to be a better person. In my mind theres noone better for him. Just my two cents.

Orod

I think I remember Sal saying he didn't want to be with her. One instance was when he was talking to his Dad and his Dad agreed with him. I also think that was what Divinity wanted but Sal basically friend zoned her. It was when he gave her the monocle and she was said to have faltered as she could see that that was what he truly felt.

Jim Swift

Wow, so many story lines have come out of the 2 latest batches of chapters and no way to follow all of them in a few remaining chapters for Book 5. There is such a lot to look forward to. Wouldn't be surprised if "Quest Academy" eventually surpasses Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" in total length. Wonderful work. So many thanks.

Meghan B

Oooo I was super happy at the First Guild Meeting!!! And that last chapter? Mm. Can't wait till next week.

Frilas

I just love it—I'm not even able to begin putting into words how much. It's amazing to finally learn about Divinity's reason for being firm on not joining, and I'm excited to see how they will work on that. I have a feeling that will change quickly, as I don't think Robert will let Divinity leave, even if she wants to, after two years when her skill gets better. Also, I'm afraid to jinx it, but the Divinity fan in me has to say it: I hope we see them together soon. I would love it if that happened by the end of the book, personally. :) Aside from the small romance jokes here and there, some actual stuff happening has been long overdue for a college setting, seeing as there is not just none in Sal's life, but even his friends don't have any.

Waterhobit

Now that Sal understands Divinity’s circumstances, he should offer her a guild contract that provides support for her parents.

R. Skye

Loved the chapters and where this is going. Specifically, I am enjoying the exposure to the realities of the world Sal is getting and how it is changing him compared to his sheltered student life. I am also interested in seeing the implications of ascending on Divinity. She was having issues controlling/harnessing her ability. Pushing up several ranks may not be the best thing for her before she had some time with Sgt Head exploring her state of mind. One observation so far as I reread: Chapter 82 with Quest seems off only for the end with Quest not knowing where Upgrade and Fabi are. Book 1-3 pretty much set up that the Academy has surveillence pretty much everywhere. While they did not badge into Sal's room cameras in the halls/common areas/elevators should have seen they went in and did not leave... especially since that was where Quest last saw them and he knows their personalities when it comes to projects. I am a security professional that has done executive protection, cameras and last knowns would be my first place to check if any of my employees with known habits were missing during an emergency.

Tim Walloch

Excellent chapters!

BrianJNordon

The Factor thing is an error, but the Material Synthesis component of the Arkwright can give Sal the materials he needs for the developmental builds. :)

Michael Flynn

I thought last weeks 8 were a blast, then you went and did it again! Thank you so much for those chapters, loving seeing how the gang is coming together for the guild, and Sal is learning to be a leader. One small typo chapter 85 paragraph 2, 'you two abilities' should be 'your two', or 'you have two'

Ron Blondeau

Isn't she is tied to the Hunters Bureau contract for 2 years from her admittance to the Quest Academy. which means she can't join a quild?

Ron Blondeau

I need to reread these chapters a number of times to properly add any useful comments but I can't get over how terrific this story is.

Ali Sha

I could see it becoming more like a tradition litRPG setting where dungeons and towers and such are controlled commodities and the thing that is stopped is the spillover into the ‘normal’ world.

Sunita Caton

Chef's Kiss, This was amazing! Does Athena being able to facilitate ascensions mean she is utilizing skill master?

R. Skye

Chapters 86-87 "The Meeting"... Hannah is there and I think the fact she is uncomfortable being around everyone may be what is attempted, but... Alex, Mica, and Seth all get more dialogue/interaction time then Hannah. Vanessa would know who she is from the photos and research and probably check with Sal that he is okay with Hannah being there. Hannah is also seeing Fabi and Sal interact for the first time as well... I feel like that may have warrented some form of reaction be it overt or introspective. Overall, I feel like there is some interactions missing between Hannah and the team during The Meeting, even if its just banter. Also... would Vanessa let that 'viper' comment from Alex go without responding or making a show that she is ignoring his antics?

Frilas

Athena has the evolution of skill master, Skill Paragon as one of the ability's that make up the "Revelation" ability of it so it should be capable of way more then what sal can currently do.

Kiwi

Loved this week's chapters. It just confirmed my hatred towards Robert, he's a devious bugger and why Divinity was saying hes a nice guy...... She had to or lose everything. I'm glad so much was cleared up with her and why she cagey at different times like when she was asked to join the guild.

zombie

I missed Divinity (and her little smileys!) and am glad to see more focus on her. These are really fun chapters - loved Rochelle's "We are getting paid??" moment

C

Fantastic chapters, but you sure do love leaving us waiting in suspense! Haha

Kiwi

Yeah I was against Sal and Divinity coupling but they sort of compliment each other now. As for Robert I'd say he's in for a big shake up after Sal saw the raid first hand and how much of a mess it was with needless destruction.

wendy woolley

Omg another amazing set of chapters.

Ira White

Ok now that I've slept and reread these chapters time for my overly excited commentary lol. First. The legion system is awesome. I was on discord the other week talking to other nerds about system shenanigans breaking what could be awesome stories by instead of using system mechanics to improve characters threw hard work and inventive story telling they just use system fuckery and divine system "kill this noob spawn and system grants you the jock strap Oathkeeper with lvl fuck off powers and stats" and quests that take out all spontaneous character development because they are plot bound to go on a quest to save the world in a way predestined by *insert god, goddess, or system*. You solved that whole problem with Divinity being willing to talk about the future but leaving it up to Sal to figure out his own path while also using system mechanics to organically build his character with the help of system fuckery and not because if you don't follow the system plan the world will end or some bull shit like that. I know I'm being hard on system fuckery and I like system fuckery but I love when characters are built up by their own effort and choices. Not just because the plot demands that the MC get stronger with no gods damned context except system fuckery. Training arcs, crafting binging, and dungeon delving are important parts of story building along with numbers, stats, and progression lines. Fuck that guy who said Authors shouldn't use numbers in stories because someone will poke threw them and ruin your story and fuck the people who do that shit too. World building is awesome and you're doing amazing. Ok rant about system fuckery over lmao Back to the legion system like I said I absolutely love it. Its got numbers and upgrade progression paths that are going to be awesome. I like seeing stats its the one part of system leveling I enjoy over cultivation. With out going on another rant lol. It always annoys me when " oh look threw the power of deep breathing and looking deeply into a ball of fire I have discovered the concept of plasma and broken threw to human mortal grade 7 and mastered plasma powers. Like wtf tell me more about your new over powered concept.........I'm doing it again 😒 🙄 😑 Anyways words, explanations, gratitude, and system fuckery. You're awesome, your story is awesome, I can't put my thoughts into words with out sounding like a lunatic, I love everything you're doing please keep it up. See you next week.

Robyn Davis

I am glad Sal finally got to eat some steak. It bugs me when he goes from one thing to the next without having a snack. He will need to stock up arsenal with some goodies.

C

Also on a side note, these chapters did a lot do restore some of my faith in Divinity. I was starting to dislike her because I thought she was becoming manipulative to get her desired futures to the point I was worried she was going to betray Sal. Glad to see some character growth in a positive way for her here.

Lisa Johnson

Could legion use Divinity to see into the future? A database of possible futures…Love the chapters. So much fun seeing the potential future unfold. I always want more!

Justin

Ok so I have to start this week's review of by saying 21,322 freaking words, and they were all awesome! Subsume is a success, because at this point Sal is jacked and can parkour his ass all over the place. Upgrade is a true friend as she "cough" let Athena test it's self on her instead of Sal. Coach has officially joined the Quest team of "wait you did what???" club, and Fabi has a crush on Athena! Athena is perfection although I was hoping for a little speech from or at least a little display popping up showing "Thermonuclear War, Game Over" pop up and make Sal soil is undies. Myth Guild is now signed up and oddly enough the voice of sarcasm was Seth and not Barry...weird right? And damn did Brian keep the best for last. Divinity, our conscience, our inspiration, our diviner of calamities, and favorite teaser of Barry has lost her damn powers....! Don't flip out though because Athena is awesome and Robert is a dick! Brian please stop sleeping and eating so much, we really need more Sal and Co., Really sleep is overrated and with enough caffeine totally unnecessary! P.S. totally loved your chapters and can't thank you enough!

Merry Clark

Well heck the school year just started and the book is just about done?

Kurby

1) “Where has this reckless abandon come from?” UPGRADE IS HIS FAVORITE TEACHER! TAKE A WILD GUESS! 2) I'm such a child. I'm such a child that was raised on Hollywood movies. At the end of chapter 82 I wanted nothing more than for Sal to get up and begin walking with Quest. Then when he asks Sal if he's seen Upgrade or Fabi. Sal just goes. “Oh don't worry, they're in my bedroom. They're probably exhausted by now.” And then he keeps walking while Quest stares bug eyed worried that he needs to call someone. It's such an obvious and stupid joke but it's making me laugh just thinking about it. 3) “Prime corrected her code. She's still recovering” Holy shit! That hit me in my soul and I'm not even a programmer! 4) Yay! An upgrade for Divinity. Also this explains a lot of the flaws surrounding her power and her approach to them. Especially stuff like her checking on the demon attack over and over again despite being reassured they had a plan to stop it. Also Divinity this is literally what friends are for. To help talk through problems and assist where they can. Empty platitudes and small talk are for acquaintances not friends.

nin10do

Can one of the mythics be the arbiter judgement mk2 I want Sal swinging from buildings and using the spiders metal would make sense to heal people somehow as well as crafting projects.

Dlandis

I'm so sad... All 8 chapters already done. Love the work, sir. And yes, "Not scary at all." Is a grand little mantra.

nin10do

Don’t forget Sal accidentally updated her weave so she has been struggling with her ability in Lombardi classes she was always struggling with her essence gate throughout book one

nin10do

I wonder if jackal will have a evolution with the spider and doc aymes exotic materials at the end of the book and then end there as a cliffhanger

Fast Lance

Ok so the biggest difference in the series now is not only are we getting to experience the growth Sal has gone through as a character. But for once we are regularly seeing his mythical inventions being used and its dope. My biggest frustration for the longest period of time was the lack of growth and not seeing his inventions used. You spent so long teasing us about how amazing the legendary sniper was. So I wanted to see how cool mythic grade items would be. Please keep this up, obviously 8 chapters is a bit much. But more exposing us to how Athena, Jackal etc work. The wait was worth it. Also I’d love to learn more about Bastion, Dungeons and Demons. So far the demons do not seem like an existential threat to society. Mythic guild should be able to crush them trivially if they continue evolving at this rate

M

A continuity question. In book 4, chapter 43, "Twilight, Guild master of Eclipse" does the transference when saving Fabi. In book 5, she is Eclipse. Note, I saw this only because I went back to see if Oswald might be Thunder -- have not memorized 5 books!

Jonathan Robichaux

If this is going to be tone and style of the next book I'm 100% here for it. Show and tell.of the inventions, we get to see them in action. Sal being a fulcrum of change instead of things happening to him. A bigger emphasis on the secondary cast of characters instead of just fabi and upgrade. Demons! Lol I have loved these last 2 dumps more than any other

Tanstaafl

I figured 3 books a semester plus one for the break. Works for me!

Anders

One of the reasons I love this series is the focus Sal has on helping others grow and discover their own heroic gifts while being a catalyst for change. These chapters tied the whole book together and I am extremely excited for the chapters and books to come!! I took the liberty to highlight some recommended edits. If you don’t particularly want or need this in the future just let me know. Again, truly enjoying the books! Chp 81: Pg 2, The instead of He, currently reads: ‘He man answered’ Pg 2, was instead of were, currently reads: ‘how ineffective the Association were’ Pg 2, currently reads: ‘Sal waited on the spot for another while’ - recommend a while or another (insert time). Chp 82: Pg 3, revolutionize instead of revolutionise. Chp 83: Pg 2, at instead of on, currently reads: his ‘battery was on an all time low.’ Pg 2, remove one of the beens. Currently reads: ‘he had been practically been’ Chp 84: Pg 2, finish instead of finishing Pg 3, for instead of fore. Chp 85 Pg 1, adjust ‘I'm guessing it's because you two separate weaves’ to ‘I'm guessing it's because of you’re two separate weaves’ Chp 86 Pg 9, express instead of expression Chp 87 Pg 4, remove a ‘with.’ Currently reads: ‘you did help with us with the’ Chp 88 Pg 1, add she. Currently reads: ‘Divinity asked as blew at the edge’

Sye Olmstead

The past 16 chapters have been incredible! Would love to see some romance introduced between Sal and Divinity though

dark phoenix99

Divinity from inside Athena. "Sal, why is humanity a race of cosmic super beings? Last time I checked we were just a post scarcity utopia?" stream of consciousness thoughts: The last two set of chapters have been awesome. The Guild meeting was everything I could have asked for. Divinity has problems. Fascinating that her good future is blown up. Better future incoming? Can't wait to see the results of her ascension. The hunters guild the just the worst. How are they in charge? How has humanity lasted them being this dumb and incompetent. I noticed quest never answered the question about how Shade has lasted thing long. I want to know what the hell Cosmicraft can make? Is Arkwright going to become a god of building shit? Quest needed to hear Sal's rant. I wish he had unleashed something similar on his parents. I get Sal's bad mood with everyone. Every few months, I get in a mood and I am not fit for human company. No real trigger, just in a crap mood. A few weeks ago I was at a mall and I walked past some skinny useless looking security guard and I genuinely thought, "If I had to, I could take him in a fight." I took my ass home. I didn't need to be in public :) Good, good stuff.

Braccen Olsen

Haven’t ever commented but love these books. Hoping to see more hand to hand combat with Sal but I’ll love the books no matter what!

DasGoat622

Since when is Fabi not joining the guild. I thought she was the co leader of the guild. That’s why she was dragging Sal around by the nose at the end of break and beginning of the semester.

Kiwi

its been really good seeing Sal's confidence, and not keeping his achievements secret.

Kiwi

nah id say Thunder is a different person

Ant

So, I had a thought... Sal has an unknown number of whole dead baby spiders in arsenal, and he's friends with Melanie (aka the necromancer). Does this mean at some point we'll see Melanie with a hoard of unread baby spider minions? Now torn between: that'd be cool; and Eeeewww, new nightmare fuel.

LadyLark

I think that was future possibility but it changed. When Sal made Fabi able to use her ability completely.

Andrew Tobin

A swarm of undead baby spiders? Nah, a swarm of regenerating undead baby spiders…

R. Skye

... ::rereads chapter 88:: "I haven't been able to look into the future properly since you were in the infirmery"... Food for thought... 1) Does the personal warding device Sal made for himself to block mind reading mess with Divinity's power in a weird way with Sal as it blocks psionic essance? Divinity's power is psionic based. 2) Does the mythic elixer machine run through potential prolifically revolutionizing alchemic samples so fast it rapidly changes potential futures until Alex and Anders settle on what they want to make?

Orod

I didn't even consider #1. His equipment only blocks psionic powers. I don't think it was made specifically for mind controllers. But we also have to remember Sal just casually changes the future that it could just be Sal making huge moves that pay off later. There is also the small possibility that this is self inflicted and she needs to make some choices

Jonathan Campbell

No way, Sal and Fabi or maybe even Rochelle would be pretty cool though! Sal and Divinity are both overthinkers to a ridiculous degree, there's no chance in hell they wouldn't implode in short order.

Cedric 'Driky' Chatelain

Mid read comment: it’s really annoying when Sal look at his stat and we don’t get either a (+xx.xx) or a recall of the previous value. Ps: finished 83 and loving what I read ;-)

Grakyn

I've really enjoyed these last two blocks of 8 chapters. I think I may need to go start my re-read of book 1-3 to get ready for the full release of this one.

Glen Adams

Something thats been on my mind for awhile now, did we just drop the romance subplot all together? Dont get me wrong I love the chapters as per usual but it seems like there we multiple times in these for the reminder that they are all young adults. IE Sal not caring who saw him without a shirt. Sal seems to be bordering on being a eunuch.

Kiwi

Nah I don't think it's been dropped, but I don't thinks it's a necessary storyline at the moment. Sal's focussed on so many things he would be a shit bf anyway.

Orod

Question: Will Sal ever go back to his revolver/guns? Just started book 3 and man do I miss the revolver. I still like his Hand to Hand though and think it is also a great option

Dennis Biancanello

I'm certain none of us are complaining about the pace lol. I do have to eat a bit of crow - i reread book4 and saw that i had somehow missed or forgotten the coming out of Sal's parents re their history. I enjoy the storyline like a guilty pleasure (for some I guess it would be bon bons and wine, for me its a good read.) thanks for the read.

JoeO

In the words of Gallant - I quite literally have no notes. Great chapters

Lost1nCarcosa

Since you mentioned it, is Wildcards gone, or is it something you might return to? Don't get me wrong I LOVE this story, but I was also really digging Wildcards as well.

Max

Chapter 82 I wished Sal would be even angrier with Quest. He just saw how all the heroes who visited Quest academy failed society. I think Quest deserves more heat in this discussion.

Kiwi

I had the opposite reaction, I thought it was a cheek that the hunter bureau said Quest academy isn’t up to par, where it’s hunters and guilds are chaotic themselves. We don’t know that all those hunters attended quest academy. Quest didn’t do anything wrong though. You read how Lars taught them in the gauntlet,did anything the hunters do in the raid reflect anything Lars teaches? I

Petri78

Sal donated revolver to arkwrict, he can summon revolver from armor with essense, but I think it's only basic essense bullets. Honestly, looks like lightning is much better weapon.

nin10do

Wouldn’t it be the crafting trackers next for the guild with all sight included

Volarus

Here is my take on the last 16 to 8 chapters: To begin with, I think this book is going to be one of the best so far. The stories and the plottwists really exceeded my expectations and our Sal really made huge progress. The last 16 chapters had me on the edge of my seat, always refreshing Patreon to read the new chapters ASAP. I really loved the descriptions of the fight and it was amazing to see our characters (Sal and Vanessa for example) finally going all out . Now for how the story should/could continue: Sal and Fabi are not endgame material. They are good colleagues and friends, but not on the level of Barry and Divinity. And if they were, there should be some signs of romantic chemistry or chemistry at all. However, I see enormous romantic potential in Sal and Divinity, as they have been friends since the start and Sal can help her overcome the problem with her powers. It was even said that due to Divinity mentioning the possible future, these particular futures changed and Sal maybe does not even end up with Fabi after all. The next optimal step storywise for Sal and the Mythic Guild is a little bit tricky however. We have seen their potential and Sal basically never attended any lectures (which is okay, because he is just so far ahead of his peers), but Sal going back to his normal Quest Academy life would just be a step back in his development. Also, now with Athena being able to give out personalized progress-sheets for every member and them having to fulfill those tasks on top of the obligatory guild tasks, they also will be having a tough time being "normal" students again. Sending them back into combat/crafting lessons could also be rather boring and not as thrill-inducing as clearing an actual dungeon or crafting another mythic item. A little suggestion for those experience and development sheets that showcase the development of strengths and stats: We see how much the stats progress and how much points Sal has made progress, but sometimes it would be nice to see the base stat, for example: Strength stat: 13.0 (+1.47). (After defeating a few Hulkers for example) By that, the reader is able to see the progress and it enables the him/her to compare different characters and shows that our Sal really is something else when the (lower) stats of an purely offense-class hero/student are shown. I am very sorry for any grammatical mistakes (english is not my first language lol) and I hope I have brought my point across :) Keep up the fantastic work and I am looking forward to the next couple of chapters/books however they might turn out in the end :)

Aerlevsedi

Prior to meeting Fabi i was expecting to feel like you do. But ironically, to me Divinty has from the beginning felt like best friend material, and not necessarily romantic. When Sal first met Fabi I honestly felt they had fantastic chemistry, and it felt jarring how that seemed to vanish in this book. I assumed it's just been put on the back burner for now, but it feels like Brian wrote last book intending chemistry and then changed his mind and retconned that in this one. (I hate that there is no way to add a new line on mobile now) Anyway, I absolutely agree with loving these last 16 chapters. Also, while I think there's room for classes to be sprinkled in going forward, I fully agree that focus should shift towards the guild and demons.

JoeO

Are we getting more chapters 5/23 US or 23/5 Ireland? Fingers crossed….

pedro souza

I loved this book, it had me on the edge of my seat from the very first moment, I finished the last book waiting for the creation of Valkyrie and I finished this one with Divinity with her true wings! And I am absolutely in love with it. The last 40 chapters were something that had me on the edge of my seat every week. I loved it so much and I am already looking forward to the next book (my guess as to how it will develop and will focus on the use of Athena by the members of the mythical guild, invasion of portals and red zone and a lot of chaos haha) THX for the book, and I hope it doesn't take long for the next one ha haha

Sam

Hunters bureau has only been in power about twenty years per Petro

Joseph Kozachek

Brian: when I find typos or plot holes do you want to get them? What is the best way to communicate them?

I’m curious as to what name Upgrade will give her Mythic Void drone, all I can think is glitch or gear, raven if she’s feeling vindictive. Also what cores are Villa and Vanessa going to get, my guess is stage 4 core of a Stalker or Gloomhusk Villa and maybe a stage 4 Switcher core for Vanessa.

Thoughts on possibly changing the Guild name to MythMaker(s)?

Brian, when I try to download these chapters, they come up completely blank. I don’t know why. Everything else works well.

Chapter 85, page 1, top"he excited Athena" should be "he exited Athena."

Chapter 85, 2nd paragraph: "because you two" should be "because you have two."

Chapter 86, end of chapter: "expression amazement" should be "expressing amazement."

I can't decide what was more epic. Vanessa's reveal or the conversation with Quest.
