## Book Blurb

With their initiate year over, the Pettit family dispersed to their separate adept postings: Jenn would be on the border with Krogga, defending against incursions. Yukiko was to patrol near Alturis, giving her the chance to see Gregory’s home and childhood friends. Mindy was going back to Grackle to help their younger friends with their troop training. Gregory was headed off to the far northern end of the empire, going to what was known as the most dangerous patrol for an adept magi.

Gregory was sure that Sage Laozi Windfoot had set his posting there to make sure no one said he’d played favorites, but it made him worry for his men— it would take months to get to the town of Coldwood, and his year wouldn’t begin until he relieved the current adept. That would make it closer to a year and a half before his family could gather together in Krogga.

To get there, Gregory would need to use his foresight and knowledge to survive. It wasn’t just the bane beasts that would make the post dangerous, but the eurtik who lived in the north, too. The free eurtik were hunted by slavers, but were also known to attack slavers and magi guard units alike to try to free their kin.

If that wasn’t enough, Gregory would also need to play politics while in the twin towns of Coldwood and Icelake. Both had magus-tier magi posted to them, as incursions of eurtik and bane beasts were common. They were probably the worst kind of magi: those who loved eurtik slaves, or would willingly profit off helping the slavers.

Gregory would need to make hard choices for his adept year. What would he let happen around him while posted to the most dangerous part of the empire? Was it better to turn a blind eye to get by as easily as possible, or would he stand in the way of the powerful people there?

Gregory Foresight

THIS PAGE NEEDS FORMATTING UPDATES

SPOILERS!!!

This page is inherently full of spoilers for the Aether's Revival series! Do not read it if you care about spoilers!!

Gregory Pettit inherited the power of foresight from his mother, which allows him to see into the future, gaining the knowledge of likely events. These events can be changed and influenced, and so are not set in stone.

It his hinted by Darkness in book one that the records of what Gregory might be able to do have likely been destroyed.

Book 1

Before the Alturis Age Day Ceremony - "Gunner and Eloria would marry and have three children that they would dote on."

When in Tolkin, and being given a bath by Jess at the Proctor's Rest, he possibly has an insight that lead to him being more aggressive with her as she pleasured him.

When in the archive with Yukiko, he sees a vision of her possible futures, with three copies of Yukiko standing behind her. The left is the most physically fit, but is covered in blood. She has a dead expression on her face, looking like she had given up on life. The middle image has a cruel smile, and a number of small puppets dancing at the ends of strings tied to her fingers, making her seem like the spider in the middle of a web. The last vision was the same as where they were at the time, with Yukiko sitting across from him, except a happy smile touched her lipswhjile shadows swirled around her feet like happy puppies. These visions he instinctively knew aligned with her choosing to follow the body, mind, or spirit paths respectively.

When discussing which path to choose over breakfast with Yukiko, Gregory feels a crossroads open before him. He could try and convince her to join him in aiming for all three paths, or not. The outcome of each was shrouded in darkness to him, but he knew this represented a pivotal moment. He simply knew that, if they both do it together, it would work.

Immediately after, he sees another vision. Behind Yukiko stood a copy of her. Clad in darkness, her face was mostly obscured, but the image had a warm smile directed at him.

He later remembers a time when his mother likely had a vision. When Gregory was five years old, his mother shared with him her belief he was going to be a magi. When he said to her "I'll be the best magi." her eyes went distant, and she seemed to feel confident he was correct, and that he had joy and pain awaiting him. While this does not count as him using his own power, it is a relevant note of his lineage and where he gets the power from.

## Premise/Synopsis

From Book 1: Alvin woke in a room that was not his, to discover that he had died and his brain had been bargained off cheaply to pay off someone else’s debt. It did not sit well with him. It didn’t surprise him that even in death, people were still using him for their own purposes. He had never exactly been a good guy, but everyone had their breaking point, and he had found his.

The bastards in charge had uploaded his mind into a virtual death game. The whole world could now pay to see him play it and probably die. Alvin questioned whether he was really a bad guy, if this is how they wanted to treat him. Regardless, he was not about to wait for death to come for him. He would kick open the damn Apocalypse Gates and see about crushing everything that challenged him. It was time to make the world aware that he was done with pretending to be nice.

Dungeon Walkers

Dungeon Walkers

There are 4 books in the series: https://amzn.to/3vuZjBU

This is a completed series.

1. Dungeon Walkers 1
2. Dungeon Walkers 2
3. Dungeon Walkers 3
4. Dungeon Walkers 4

## Premise/Synopsis

Dungeon Walkers brave the depths of the dungeons for personal gain— clearing a dungeon means dungeon points to purchase gear with, but more importantly, perks. Perks are the main reason Walkers put their lives on the line. Every time a dungeon is cleared the first time, a Walker gets a choice of three perks that could change their lives.

Not every Walker makes it out alive. When someone dies in the dungeon, their soul is fragmented into four shards, which can be purchased for dungeon points. Collecting all four shards and taking them to a temple of the Goddess means the dead can live again. There is a sub-sect of Walkers that makes it their goal to bring the dead back from the dungeons— they’re called the Rescue Squad.

Stern is intent on joining the ranks of Rescue Squad. Finally done with his six months at the academy, he is about to make his first run through a dungeon. It will not be easy— he doesn’t have a crew, or a team, to run it with. Stern is an irregular— someone born with unusual perks— and unfortunately, looking like the blighted. Being seen as blighted has made Stern’s life hell, but he keeps pushing on, intent on making his goal real.

Despite his hardships, he’s been blessed with the unusual perk of his life-long friend, Pawly. Pawly is a polydactyl Maine Coon, who is protective of her friend and eager to help him reach his goal. With his friend beside him, Stern is ready to start his adventure.

(This book contains non-standard relationships and touches upon adult situations.)

Alvin had another rough week, but this time, he had Gothy with him.

Travelling from Utah to Nevada, they were able to set up two more Settlements. Then they had to visit the world of Fey to rescue the kids of the Beatty, Nevada Settlement. Just when things looked like they were going well, the Developers got involved.

With the very rules of the game changing, Alvin found himself in a new position. Gothy pledged herself to him through the game system, leaving her collared and bound to obey his every whim. Coming to terms with their new relationship, Alvin wondered what would come next.

He wasn’t expecting a road trip north to loot an abandoned town, nor the Dragon that guarded it. What came as the biggest surprise was the chance encounter with a fantasy race whose gate had opened. What would come of this fateful meeting?

About Daniel Schinhofen

I have been writing on and off, mostly very bad stories, since I was a kid. None of those should ever see the light of day, if they even exist anymore. I started seriously writing in 2015, when a friend of mine handed me a couple of books that blew my mind. They combined two things I loved— video games and books. The fledging genre was called LITRPG, which is still around along with the broader term Gamelit. It was those books that convinced me that the stories I used to make up might have an audience.

That spurred me into writing the first book I published, Last Horizon: Beta. Seeing that people liked the book convinced me to write the continuation of that series, Last Horizon: Live. That led to Alpha World, which was where I started to think that I might be able to become a full-time writer. It wasn’t until late 2017 that I gave the idea serious consideration. The continued fan response from that series, and the start of Apocalypse Gates, gave me the push I needed to take the plunge and become a full-time writer.

That brings us to here and now. You’re very likely here because you want to keep up with my books, or maybe find merchandise that revolves around my works. We’re working on bringing a store to the site; if it’s not already up, then check back in a bit. You’ll also find links to the fan page here, my monthly blog posts, and my Patreon page.

Thank you for stopping by and reading though the entire about me section… What? You wanted to actually know more about me, and not my books?

Oh, okay. Maybe a little bit.

I’m an introvert, but I’ve been trying to break away from that by doing the Live Streams on the fan page.

Video games used to eat up all my free time, now writing does that so I don’t get to play like I used to.

I also used to be an avid reader, now I barely have time to keep up with some of my favorites; Michael-Scott Earle, Scottie Futch, William Arand, Eden Redd, and Blaise Corvin. You should check out all of those.

Before going full-time, I used to work as a paper pusher in the local county lock-up. Before that I worked almost every job in food & beverage.

I currently live with my girlfriend of many years, my dog, and two cats that belong to the girlfriend.

That’s about it, I’m not an exciting person, sorry. I do want to thank you for stopping by. Again, it’s because of fans that I can do what I’ve dreamed about doing, which is being an author, so my thanks.

Age Day

Age Day is the term used for the comming of age in the Velum Empire in the Aether's Revival series.

While the date for a particular place depends on the location within the Velum Empire, this date is the same each year.

For example, the Alturis age day is 2 days short of Midsummer each year.

Proctors go place to place, testing the children who are reaching adulthood.

It is common for traveling merchants to come and set up for the day.

The main event of the day is the Coming of Age Ritual.

It also seems to be tradition or an edict of the empire that a new adults first drink is payed for by the empire. "...and the first drink is on the Emperor, after all." - Gunnar

Alturis also had a variety of contests and games to celebrate the day, though it is uncertain if other places have similar.

Aether's Blade

### The Blade and Room

The Blade, also known as Aether's Blade, is an artifact kept in the sub-basement of the in processing building of the Magi Academy. Making ones way down several flights of stairs, and beyond a dozen iron doors, one comes to two emerald-robed magi (adept rank), standing beside the largest iron door at the end of a hallway.

Jutting form the stone floor of this room one would see a naginata, the blade sunk almost completely into one of the stone tiles. Dozens of different jewels are embedded into the silver bands near the head and end-cap of the naginata. The blade and shaft are described as being of a black metal, which drinks in the light of the lanterns in the room.

### The Ritual

Novices are instructed to remove their footwear and step toward a three inch wide line/slab of the same black metal as the blade, which is embedded in the floor, and encircling the buried weapon.

When ones feet come into contact with the line of metal, a novice feels a shock of cold rush into their body, eliciting a shiver.

Novices are then further instructed to reach out and grasp the shaft of the weapon, one at at time. This process results in the gems revealing what type of magic one holds an ability in, possibly more than one.

When Greg did as instructed, his hand wrapping around the shaft, his experience was of his aether sputtering, dying down to a dim level similar to banked coals, and his legs grew weak. Then a wave of cold energy rushed up through his feet and into his body. When this rush of energy reached his aether, the flame in him flared to life, forcing power into his legs and straightening them out, and rushing out through his hand and into the naginata. This caused the largest gem on the very end of the naginata to pulse faintly with light. This pulsing turned into a glow, and then brightening until it was almost blinding, before eventually dimming once more. It is noted this stone was ryuite. Upon releasing his grip on the weapon, the flaring aether flame in him returned to the small flame it had been before. This ritual leaves one feeling exhausted, as if they had run for hours. Depending on ones constitution, some even stumble or collapse to the floor after letting go of the weapon.

Master Damon remarks he had never seen the ryuite glow, nor any gem glow that brightly.

When Yukiko Warlin gripped the weapon, the single black jade embeded in one of the silver bands of the naginata began to flicker, and grew into a soft glow for a few seconds. Based on what Master Damon says, it appears the term for one who makes the jade respond is a 'shadow', and with the next most recent instance being around 12 years prior, seem to be fairly rare.

Elder

Elders are cats who were once warriors, queens, deputies, medicine cats, or even leaders who have grown old enough to retire. Elders are freed from most of their duties, including hunting, fighting, and patrolling, however they are responsible for keeping stories of the past alive and teaching their Clanmates to care for each other. Most elders are retired warriors or deputies, but medicine cats sometimes retire too. It is stated that leaders can become elders as well, however this is very uncommon and there are no examples of this throughout the books.

## Place in hierarchy

While elders are not very high in their Clans' hierarchy, they are well respected and honored for their wisdom as well as the fact that they have served their Clan faithfully for many moons. Most of the cats in a Clan will look up to the elders and care for them well, for example, helping them get rid of ticks and fleas in their pelt.

## Basic description

Elders are stereotypically rumpled and very grumpy as well as quite whiny and needy, however they can be very kind, especially to young cats in need of wisdom. They tell stories of cats who have died, as well as stories about their own life, and even pass down very old stories that may not be true, such as the tales of LionClan, LeopardClan, and TigerClan. Elders are served by younger cats, usually apprentices take care of them the most but warriros sometimes pitch in too. Sometimes taking care of the elders is used as a punishment for misbehaving apprentices, but it also a regular duty for them. Elders often need help getting rid of ticks and fleas from their pelt, as well as having their bedding changed often and having fresh-kill brought to them. Elders mostly stay in camp, specifically in their own den, however they are free to roam around the territory as they wish.

## Retiring

When a senior warrior feels that they are old enough to become an elder, they express this to their leader who gives them permission to do so and holds an elder ceremony. Typically a cat only retires because of old age, but if they suffer a permermant injury they may reitre early.

Amazon Link

## Book Blurb

Gregory was beyond happy when his second year in the Magi Academy began. Now married to both Yukiko and Jenn, Gregory had more love than he ever thought he’d find. It was also a time for friends. Daciana and Nessa, their novice friends, found another in Victoria, who also quickly became close with Gregory and his wives.

Gregory found still more friends in Clover and Ling, two clanless apprentices who shared his tactics subgroup. The eurtik-blooded magi were earnest and eager to learn, so they were quickly taken under the Aether’s Guard apprentices’ wings.

With so many friends around him, Gregory felt the year was bright. The hatred of the Eternal Flame still pressed down on them— although the clan seemed strangely quiet during the first half of the year, the threat of violence was still there.

The friends trained hard to fight as a unit, intent on being the champions to raise the clan’s name and reputation. The first tournament of the year came quickly, with a few surprises. The biggest was because of the merchant, Carlisle, belittling eurtiks. Hao Warlin suckered him into a bet that grew and grew until the merchant lost a massive amount of money. Hao took it gladly, using it to purchase gifts for Daciana, Nessa, and Victoria. Those items allowed the three novices to not only survive the remainder of the tournament, but also to emerge as the victors.

Gregory and his wives fought honorably and hard to advance to the finals, where their last fight was against the Eternal Flame. With their rigorous training and communication, they managed to defeat the arrogant clan, letting them stand alongside their novice friends as champions.

The excitement of being the champions wasn’t the happiest part of their year, though. That came after the tournament, when all five of their friends— Nessa, Daciana, Victoria, Clover, and Ling— joined Aether’s Guard.

The apprentices weren’t done yet, as they had other major events ahead of them. The tournament for their tactics class was first and, beyond that, the tournament against Buldoun.

(This book contains some adult themes.)

Buildings located in the upper ring include: Auction House, Felina's, Hemet's, the Tea House, Eternal Fire Clan manor, Gin's home.
* Magi Academy - walls made of stone 60' high 30' thick, solid metal gates guarded at all times by 2 dozen guards and a magi. Massive winches atop the wall are used to ponderously open the metal doors.

Getting from the academy to the lowest ring is a notable walk, and so utilizing a rickshaw (two-wheeled vehicle with a doorless, chairlike body and a collapsible hood, which holds one or two passengers and is drawn by a man between two shafts, either on foot or by bicycle or other device.) is often a good method of transportation.

Unsorted Notes:

Passing the gate into the lower ring, there is a long spiraled incline of the main road, all the way to the north gates.

In the lower ring, it is noted that the shops are large, often with a smaller second level that function as a residence above the shops. The size of the shop in turn also means they often have storage space.

## Book Blurb

Dungeon Walkers brave the depths of the dungeons for personal gain— clearing a dungeon means dungeon points to purchase gear with, but more importantly, perks. Perks are the main reason Walkers put their lives on the line. Every time a dungeon is cleared the first time, a Walker gets a choice of three perks that could change their lives.

Not every Walker makes it out alive. When someone dies in the dungeon, their soul is fragmented into four shards, which can be purchased for dungeon points. Collecting all four shards and taking them to a temple of the Goddess means the dead can live again. There is a sub-sect of Walkers that makes it their goal to bring the dead back from the dungeons— they’re called the Rescue Squad.

Stern is intent on joining the ranks of Rescue Squad. Finally done with his six months at the academy, he is about to make his first run through a dungeon. It will not be easy— he doesn’t have a crew, or a team, to run it with. Stern is an irregular— someone born with unusual perks— and unfortunately, looking like the blighted. Being seen as blighted has made Stern’s life hell, but he keeps pushing on, intent on making his goal real.

Despite his hardships, he’s been blessed with the unusual perk of his life-long friend, Pawly. Pawly is a polydactyl Maine Coon, who is protective of her friend and eager to help him reach his goal. With his friend beside him, Stern is ready to start his adventure.

## Spoilers

All spoilers must be hidden in collapsible sections, and must be hidden/collapsed by default. (we do not use the highlight-able spoiler approach because it often does not display correctly, and therefore does not work.

The code must be put into the Source Editor for it to work. It is one of the drop-down options near the "Cancel" and "Save Page" buttons when editing a page.

Replace "Name of thingy" with the title of the hidden block like the example further below.

Replace the "This is the text...." with whatever elements, text, images, or links that are the spoiler.

Here is the code block you use.

Control Runes

Control Runes are a magical sub system within the Aether's Revival series.

These runes are most prominently employed withing the Velum Empire, as a way of controlling Eurtik servant and slaves.

In the Velum Empire, slaves have no rights, and are classified as property, which is owned by the one who has their control rune.

A slave who touches their linked control rune dies. It is stated that early on, many eurtiks chose that death willingly, rather than be slaves.

The creator of a rune can establish restrictions on what the slave can and can not do.

Pain is used as the method of control if a runed subject breaks their restrictions.

Servants can also be constrained by runes and rules, which are imposed upon them when they become servants.

Servants, as opposed to slaves, are still classified as people, and are to be treated well by the keeper of their rune.

As such, servants are to be housed, fed, and cared for. If they are not, then the servants are to be freed or the debt they owed surrendered to another.

This rune based system of servitude is still employed in the modern day empire upon those who break certain laws, as their crime penalty. Such individuals pressed into servitude then must carry out their sentence. It is common for those who commit any other crimes or fail their duties in that time to be made slaves instead.

It takes a magus or higher tiered magi to create a slave rune.

Adepts and higher can create a servant pact.

Only a grandmaster and above is capable of breaking a rune, though it is mentioned that the pacts fade after a set time, and can also be broken early by a master or higher.

It is stated that there is no way to tell if someone is a servant and under a servant runes effects.

However, slaves have a brand in teh shape of their rune somewhere on theri body, though it is most commonly on the arm or chest.

Magi Guard

Cover of AR6, Magi Guard

## General Information

This is the 6th book in the Aether's Revival series.

Amazon Link

## Book Blurb

At the end of their apprentice year, Aether’s Guard headed off to Buldoun for an international tournament. They had allies there in the Swift Wind and Iron Hand clans, but they also had to deal with the Eternal Flame; Nick Shun had no interest in letting go of his perceived grudge against Aether’s Guard. However, with the academy overseer on the trip, Nick had no chance to act out against them.

The tournament brought both joy and grief. Mindie, the part-fox eurtik, found her resonance with her aether and was welcomed into Gregory’s slowly growing family. The other hopefuls also moved steadily closer to their hope of joining.

The mages in Buldoun were surprisingly friendly toward Aether’s Guard, especially the Wolf House and Eagle House. Claudia Firetongue of Eagle House even turned out to be much more than just a friend. Once the first half of the tournament was over, Gregory was roped into protecting her, as she’d been targeted by assassins.

While Gregory’s wives and friends played in the Empire’s Gambit tournament, Gregory stayed close to Claudia to protect her from any more assassination attempts. As the tournament drew to a close, he was able to thwart a concentrated attack from shadow magic mages and escape with Claudia, bringing them to Lightshield. The elder of Aether’s Guard gave his all in that fight, sacrificing himself to kill the shadow mages. His last words to Gregory were a reminder that even more sacrifices would be needed in the future.

With the tournaments concluding on that somber note, it was time for Aether’s Guard to bid farewell to their new friends. Claudia was spirited away to a safer location by the Buldoun Archmage while Clover, Ling, and Roshana were taken back to Wesrik by Grandmaster Hemet. For their initiate and adept years, they were to help at the academy, away from Gregory and his family.

Setting out for their magi guard training year as initiates, Yukiko, Jenn, and Gregory wouldn’t be alone. Armsmaster Egil Magi-killer was the overseer for the year, and Mindie would be his assistant. The family would get to visit intermittently, even if only a few times during the coming year.

Gregory knew that he would need to walk a fine line between friend and commander with his men. He hoped to help shape them and himself into the best they could be. The future would certainly test him, and having a strong force beside him would make things easier.

## Magi and their place in the Empire

Every town, and all the cities, have a magus stationed in them.

All towns should have guards and walls, villages included, but no one wants to pay for them. This is remarked on by Bishop as they visit Tolkin in Aether's Blessing.

## History

Eurtik slavery and servitude was instituted over a thousand years ago, by the emperor of the empire. Over time this system expanded to include Control Runes, a method of enforcing rules and restrictions on what a subject can and can't do.

## Economics

The primary currency of the empire is known as vela.

## Customs

A bowing salute is done with the right fist cupped by the left palm at chest height.

The empire is ruled by Emperor Toja, also known as the Divine Emperor. Before becoming the emperor, he was known as War Leader Toja.

## Book Blurb

Meeting a dark Elf was unexpected. Kuro offered unconditional servitude in exchange for being saved, and Gothy was determined to make the most of it.

Kuro had a single request: to warn the Queen that the King had broken their pact. Alvin agreed to take her to her world to report, wondering if it would be as easy as it sounded. Meanwhile, Kuro held up her end of the bargain, doing everything Gothy asked of her.

Driving through the Svargax Gate, what they saw before them was not what any of them expected: two armies at war with each other, one composed of the dark Queen’s Elves, the other of the light King’s Elves.

Feeling his simple plan go out the window, Alvin decided to find out if the King’s Elves could be reasoned with. Realizing it would be more difficult than he thought, Alvin wondered if he could reach some sort of accord with either side.

(This book contains adult situations, in all their horror and glory, including but not limited to: sex, abuse, drug use, and murder. It also contains graphic sex scenes, which portray elements of BDSM and harem. You’ve been warned.)
