A transient youth with an unusual name, Hoku, stumbles upon a hidden message in his late uncle's library. Provoked by a profound fascination, he encounters a distorted timeframe that reincarnates him into "The Sequel," a perilous alternate universe plagued by mysteries and fallen civilizations. Stripped of his memories and identity, Hoku must navigate this treacherous realm by forging alliances with strangers who appear to share his misfortune. To return to his own world, he must unravel the parties that purposed him to become the ‘Navigator of the timestream’. His quest pits him against the apprentices of a formidable deity known as "The Abundant Creator," forcing him to recover the past and confront the enigmatic truths that upended his grasp of his own existence.

Thank you so much for your continued patience. Due to some recent changes in my writing schedule, I'm a bit behind on this week's chapter. I've completed the first draft of Trial III (currently at 10,000 words), but it required a major rework to ensure the mechanics made sense without overwhelming the pacing or clarity of the story.


This trial has been one of the most difficult to structure, even more so than Trial II (this isn't because it is more complex, it's due to how it required precise sequencing and subtle buildup.) I'm currently revising it and plan to release the first part as soon as it's ready.


1–2 chapters will release each week, alternating between my two books.


This week: The Covenant of Timeless Mysteries


Next week: The Latent Identities of Darwin


If I'm ever lucky enough to write full-time, updates will come faster! Until then, thank you again for reading and supporting this journey.
