Howdy everyone.

  Hope you enjoyed the first book of cultivating chai. All things considered, I did want to make it a little longer, but I feel like letting the suspense build up for the sequel while also giving Xiao Feng and his Xuhu a very rare type of bond was a satisfying payoff.

  I've written a few chapters of cultivating chai and I'm just checking them for consistencies, will be posting them next week! I wanted to post them immediately after concluding book 1 honestly, but I got a few ideas that has improved a lot of stuff for the better so here we are :)

  As for another announcement, this is part of a project I've been working on in my downtime for half a year ish now (book 1 is done, won't affect my schedule), so if you want to offer it some support I'd be pretty grateful (it's 11 on rising stars and every bit of support counts). It's very different from chai and some of the themes are mature, so do be warned and please check the tags! Around 50,000 words are already posted :)

  That's about all for now, see you next week.

  The Wastrel Heir of Velmoria: A Second Chance/Re-Do Story.

  Synopsis:

  The kingdom's last defender had one chance to send his memories back in time. He chose wrong.

  The Sword Warden of Cravess watched his knights burn alive as Black Mana consumed all that remained of his lands. With his dying breath, he passed on his memories to sixteen years in the past— except with a catch.

  He could choose anyone but himself as the recipient of those memories.

  His choice? His best friend, Lucan Velmoria. The genius who'd killed a Fourth-Circle Blood Mage as a Second-Circle Journeyman. The prodigy who surpassed every Combat Mage in the academy despite dropping out. The man who'd died saving his life.

  Except that genius never existed.

  The real Lucan Velmoria is an outcast drowning in wine, heir to a dukedom he never wanted. His Shadow Mana affinity? Worthless—no one's ever advanced past Second-Circle with it. Those legendary feats? He has no idea how his future self accomplished them.

  But with his half-sister marked for assassination, his mother trapped in endless sleep, and the Duchess' endless machinations, he must embrace the impossible techniques in his inherited memories and prevent his kingdom's annihilation.

  He has sixteen years to rewrite the ending.
