Hi, Tapas readers!

Letting you know that I've rewritten my latest novel, The Loom of Ill Fates, so I removed the previous version and just published the new first chapter which features a new version of the protagonist in an entirely new setting before he arrives at the mountain setting of the previous version.

I hope you all enjoy it. Bram's less angry and a lot more hopeful and witty.

Greetings, my beloved Tapas Readers!

It's been a whole year since I last wrote here, and I gotta say, I miss all of you!

First, let me apologize for the delay in posting new Level Up Hero chapters... I went through a troubling period and had a hard time writing for a while...adding the failure of bringing an LUH comic to life — particularly because Tapas put the project on hold in early 2023 — and it became difficult for me to return and continue the story... I'm back now though, renewed and refreshed and ready to write again... and that means Level Up Hero is coming back too!

Yep, this October 2024, we will be resuming Volume 3: Underworld! With edited versions of the volume 3 chapters already out. I'll update you as I begin posting for LUH again.

Next...

Now that I'm back to writing, y'all know there was no way I wouldn't come back without something new in the works. So, here it is!

Let me introduce... The Loom of Ill Fates!

In a nutshell, this is Game of Thrones meets Ready Player One and the Office all wrapped up in one neatly—and if I can toot my own horn here—well-written package! Yep, it's as crazy as it sounds!

Nine episodes are out right now, with new episodes coming in every other day!

I've got a full volume ready for you guys to read so you can expect a lot of content to drop regularly!

Here's the link on Tapas: https://tapas.io/series/The-Loom-of-Ill-Fates/info

And if you're interested in advanced chapters, they're available now on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GD_Cruz

Check out this awesome cover by my friend @Lara Zanatti Reis!

Hi, true believers!

First, a very HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!!!

Apologies for the unplanned monthly-long hiatus last December 2022. This was mostly due to a surprise trip out of the country during the holidays where I decided just to take a break from the pen and paper to really spend time with my family. That's over now and I'm back in front of the screen churning out the next chapters of Sam and the gang's adventure in the underworld, while also working on a new project directly connected to Level Up Hero. XD

Look forward to it and thanks for continuing to support the novel!

P.S. Big news coming soon about Level Up Hero's future... Really big news. Good ones too. XD

Sincerely,

G.D. Cruz

Is the big news that you're getting a comic?

I can't really say anything yet, but let's just say the 'coming soon' news is the kind that makes me want to jump up and down in excitement and then yell "It's going to be EPIC~~C!" at the top of my lungs from the rooftop of the New Atlantis State Building. (wink, wink)

Hey, true believers!

Apologies for the lack of new chapters last week, and possibly this weekend as well. There was a scheduling issue with the new chapters that's finally been resolved today. So, you may see new chapters as early as this Sunday or by Friday, August 19.

Appreciate your patience. Thank you for continuing to read and enjoy Level Up Hero!

Another awesome announcement about the novel is coming later this August 2022! XD

Cheers,

G.D.'s Updates July 2022!

Heya true believers!

Soo~~o Level Up Hero Volume 2: Rising just ended, but we're already posting the prologue chapters of Volume 3: Underworld—and it's Crow-Man's POV!

Let me know if you guys like these 'support heroes' perspectives every once in a while and I'll make it happen.

Now, this late July, I'm launching my new novel — Adventure Academy — a fantasy tale of budding adventurers learning the tricks of the trade as they explore the many bombastic worlds of the realmsverse! Please look forward to it!

Now, let me leave you with a bit of LUH artwork from @Nauscica — she's awesome!

G.D.'s Update June 2022!

Heya true believers!

We're nearing the end of Level Up Hero, Volume 2: Rising! Just one more chapter to go! Are you guys excited? I am!

Level Up Hero, Volume 3: Underworld is coming, and if the title is any indicator then it's going to be a wilder ride than the crew of the Argonaut VII have had so far!

To celebrate vol 3's impending launch, we'll be releasing a set of sudechapters next week featuring everyone's favorite cowled hero: Crow-Man! The side chapters will tie into Underworld too!

Lastly, to my Iron Blood Arcanist and Alpha and the Rose readers, sorry for the delays -- in the midst of a rewrite for those two novels, but my new novel, Adventure Academy will be out soon here on Tapas! Look forward to it.

Let me leave you all with a teaser of things to come for Level Up Hero.

Going beyond even the extraordinary!!!

We've hit 100 CHAPTERS for Level Up Hero!

To celebrate this awesome milestone, here's Thunder showing her appreciation for all you awesome readers—yep, she's hurling that lightning bolt of love at you! And if it looks like this was taken from a web comic, well, don't read too much into it... ;P

Thank you again for making Level Up Hero #1 in popularity for ACTION NOVELS this January 2022.

Look forward to great things coming soon!

Hi everyone,

This is IRON BLOOD ARCANIST related news, so if you haven't read it yet, then please check it out because it's awesome!

First, NEW CHAPTERS (That's right, multiple!) are out right now! Go read it!

Second, ALL PREVIOUS CHAPTERS HAVE BEEN EDITED to reflect BIG CHANGES in the story. See a list of them below:

1. The ages have been changed to make kids learning to be arcanists more plausible. In chapter 3, he already starts out as 4 years old instead of the 3-year-old he was previously.

2. Eldar is a copyrighted term so I've changed it to Sidhe now, reflecting on the concept of European fairies. XD

3. Chapter: BLOOD MAGIC has been rewritten significantly as the previous chapter was noted as creepy considering Number One was infatuated with an eight-year-old girl despite having an adult brain. So had to change that. Now, his interest in her is due to the fact that he realizes she might be one of his old crib mates who'd been banished by Major Heinrich.

4. Lots of new content in most chapters peppered into what's already been written so I highly recommend you reread them. XD Not necessary to read the next chapters though as long as you've read this comment already. Lol.
