So three novels are done, not counting my side project of Abaddon, which would be four, totaling more than 500k words written, so I am grateful to anyone who at least noticed my work. I do have ideas for where the next book will go for potions and dreams, and I do have an ending in mind for how the series will end, but I'm giving it a rest for a bit since there are no comments and low views, and I still want to improve my writing skills. Am still grateful to those that followed my story anyway it why I did three books but want to get better to encourage better reading experience and more readers.

If anyone learns to write better due to my work, congratulations, and if I inspired ideas even better, even if it was just learning what you did not like that helped make your work better, we all learn from those that help pave the path before us.

So as for what next, beyond writing better and learning where I am falling flat, I think my next book will be "Soul and Ash." We start mid-novel. With the MC letting the person who he teams up with kill him, taking his power, as he doesn't believe this world is real. Since he is trapped in an endless death loop, and it breaks his mind a bit. It is only after that he wise up a bit about the world he is trapped in and tries to do things differently, but now he has less power and no ally to help.

This is a small snippet that is still rough. I still want to improve it before I post online, but also wanted to show the idea of the story.

He stared up into her glowing blue eyes as her blade gently rested over his heart. After so many deaths—so many times he'd felt himself slipping, becoming something that didn't care anymore—her face was the only thing that still felt real, her touch of warmth the only brief kindness in this world of cold madness he knew he could trust.141Please respect copyright.PENANA1Oioo5fZbW
Her unwavering gaze locked on him, and for a moment, he thought he saw something break behind it. Her lips parted.141Please respect copyright.PENANARhslmSfzhK
"Are you sure?" Her voice was barely a whisper. "There'll be no going back."141Please respect copyright.PENANAjEDA5eGQiS
For you or for me? He thought, but didn't ask. He knew he could not change the game, but he could change who won it.141Please respect copyright.PENANALdFc1qO4al
A gentle smile curved his lips, and he let out a soft laugh, pressing the knife deeper into his own chest with the shifting of his weight. "Yeah. If this works, we'll both be free."141Please respect copyright.PENANAs9UrBhNwC7
Free. The word tasted like a lie. She'd rise. He'd fall. But maybe that was enough. He would find a way, or fade away.141Please respect copyright.PENANABwfG64hgq1
A single tear splashed onto his cheek. He froze.141Please respect copyright.PENANAehkVJl5YR5
She had never cried. Not when the hunters tore her apart. Not when they'd huddled in the dark, counting their deaths like breaths. Not even when he'd failed to get stronger, and she still helped him, forcing her into more death loops.141Please respect copyright.PENANA96Urf6ovOv
But now tears fell freely, and her hand trembled on the blade.141Please respect copyright.PENANA6gMeWHQi1H
"Goodbye, my love," she whispered.141Please respect copyright.PENANAh7udaFBpKF
Love?141Please respect copyright.PENANANOzLiLEEO9
The word didn't make sense. They were just surviving. A desperate alliance. Two people clinging to sanity in a place that devoured it. That was all. Wasn't it?141Please respect copyright.PENANAOjbs35Cdjk
He wanted to ask—wanted to understand—but blood filled his mouth as the blade plunged into his heart. The world stilled—then cracked—and he was dragged back to the beginning of this hellscape once more.141Please respect copyright.PENANAi3SVVB4mPD
Somewhere, beyond the veil of death and resurrection, something laughed.141Please respect copyright.PENANAOqRVpfbKah
But he didn't hear it. He only felt the cold, the dark, and the terrible certainty that he was alone again.141Please respect copyright.PENANAvLSeSkVly0
Back to nothing.141Please respect copyright.PENANAlg4dlVbbp4
But this time, something felt different.141Please respect copyright.PENANALCAskoaVA1
This time, he wasn't afraid.
141Please respect copyright.PENANA0TnBy9ObPQ
Their more to the full chapter, this was just a snippet. So I want to add more depth to the world and seen when I revise it later. I also want to write at least the first book before I post it. I have three chapters done of this novel but want to use care crafting it.

Between now and whenever, drop a comment, throw a follow, share with a friend—anything to help get me noticed or push me to make me write better is welcomed even if it criticism. I am a slow learner, but I do learn, and half the point when any author shares a story, is to share their work for others to enjoy. Usually the other half is money since we all need it, but right now my goal is sharing and improving. Money will come in time, and if not? My stories will still exist for someone to find, and that will be enough.

So stay safe and never stop dreaming.
