It's the month of March, which means two things: March Madness and my birthday.
Now, I don't much care for March Madness. I'm not a sports fan. Never have been, never will be, but my family is, and so I'll probably end up watching more basketball than I care for. I suppose that's life.
I'll be turning 33 this year. I feel old. I know some people have said I'm not old, but I feel like I am. Does anyone know where I can find the Fountain of Youth? Or maybe you can figure out how to reverse someone's time? I just wanna be young forever. Lol. Kidding. I am. I promise I'm not being serious.
I don't have many announcements to make this month, but there are a few, so here goes.
Incubus: Volume 3 the audiobook will be published by Podium this month. I was told to expect it on the 22nd, but I do not know if that's really gonna happen. The book should have gone up on pre-order over a week ago and I can't find out. I'm assuming Audible is being Audible and giving anything remotely sexy a hard time. I'll let you know when it is available.
While I'm not publishing anything, WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior: Volume 11 will be published next month. I'm hoping to have it out in early April, but we'll see. My artist needs to finish the artwork before I can format the book for print and ebook.
I am still in the process of getting Arcadia's Ignoble Knight ready for its republish. Volumes 1-6 have been proofread, so all that's left is volume 7. I have also hired Claparo to begin working on the artwork for volume 8, and I'll be doing self-edits for volume 9. Volume 8 will also be going to my copy editor soon.
I suspect Arcadia's Ignoble Knight will be 10 volumes in total. Once I've finished the edits, created reference sheets for my artist, and handed the manuscripts to my copy editors and proofreaders, I will finally have the time to write on Wednesdays, which means the change in my posting schedule for Severing Time & Space will happen after all that's done.
I'm also considering adding some more benefits to my Kitsune-tier. You really help me a lot and I can't express how grateful I am. I always worry that I'm not giving you enough content and I want to do more. Nothing has been decided yet, but I will let you know when I've got something conclusive.
One last thing before I leave. I wanted to talk to you about a game I picked up recently.
Elden Ring.
I don't know how many of you have played Elden Ring yet, but I've found myself enjoying it a great deal. I never liked FromSoftware games when I was younger because I kept dying. I remember rage quitting Dark Souls. Maybe I have been able to git gud, but this game is really fun. I just beat Godrick yesterday during my one-hour slot of gameplay on the weekdays. Are you playing Elden Ring? How far have you gotten?

I kept dying at first until I got the hang of it. Now, I still die occasionally, but it's normally only when I try to solo a boss.

I just picked it up! I am having alot of fun even tho i keep dieing over and over again
It has a PVP element, but I haven't really had to deal with that. That said, it IS the same company that does Dark Souls. I've heard someone call it Dark Souls mixed with Breath of the Wild and that seems pretty accurate.
Awesome! Yeah, I like this series too. I was sad when I had to stop because of money issues. I'd like to finish this series.
I will let you know.
I'm doing surprisingly well. Granted, I die a lot more than I do in MMOs, but I've managed to progress really far despite having only played one Souls game for like an hour ten years ago.
That's what my mom told me when I said I felt old to her. She looked at me like I'd said something stupid as well. XD

Wait till your 53 this month and you look back at the last 33 years and think what happened to that twenty year old that thought they would change the world.
Michael Moneymaker
I picked up Elden Ring myself, and I have found that I suck at Souls like games. I probably need to play fewer rpgs and more action games.. but yeah.. it is very pretty on Xbox X and 4k TV

If you find that fountain let me know, I turn 32 near the end of the month so I feel your pain. Felt like I turned 21 just yesterday.
Daniel Glasson
Love the news about Arcadia. Just starred a full reread of the series to prep

I thought about getting Eldon ring but I read that it's PVP and that it's by the same people who did soul dark soul and I suck at dark soul couldn't play it so I didn't bother getting ring. But if you say it it's a pretty fun game I might just try it I like the graphics. 🤔😎
