Reeeeally hope i got the chapters ordered right for this THE STORY SO FAR haha. I still don't know what's going to end up as a Prologue cause I DO want more fighting soon in the book, but we'll see what the final looks like!

Enjoy!

*********A FEW RULES & REMINDERS:

Chapters will be dropping as Bryce completes them. That means anywhere from every 1 to 2 weeks on average, though sometimes waits may be longer.

Recall that these are rough chapters, with no editing other than a single pass-through as Bryce writes.

On a similar note, we are not asking for advice or corrections at this time. If Bryce wants feedback, we will certainly reach out, thank you! If you want to voice concerns or complaints about the chapter, you may now do so over on the Reddit discussion thread below! Notifications are turned off on those conversations, so they're a free-for-all now (within the rules of the subreddit, obviously)!

Kory Leach

Thank you! Just boarded our flight!!!

Andrej Ďurech

Wow, didn't expect chapter 11. Thanks!

Sigrun

Have to remember to grab the new reading after work. This is going to be awesome

LawBear2005

I also like the new additions, It feels more like each of the characters.

Nozzy

Thanks for the chapters about done with another read thru and this was perfect timing!

Dude the guy

Rip Rei, Aria’s mom knows about them, it’s been a good run.

Darren Dyke

I'm not a smart man Jennay - was that Shido? Gemella? MIND?? I'm so exciteedddd

Dougie Mitchell

Aria's father really needed to respond "oh shit" there. Very nice chapters 👍

Ghostbane

Rest in peace Reidon Ward. Thank you for the chapters!

dcshort2

If we thought Aria and her mom were at odds before....

Iron Akela

Nice! Those chapters work very well indeed!

gratch42

I guess despite being an over attentive mother she never got the best view of Aria and Rei flirting during the tournament. Big stadium!😎

gratch42

Started and ended with a “WHAT”. I liked the redo of the end of the hospital scene. Stronger character scenes. The additions of other viewpoints was nice too. Is that the hospital AI telling Viv to ease up? Minor quibble: “viv’s face was hidden by the DTRU” followed by “good to see they cleaned the blood off her nose” - um how can you see the nose…? Is transparent or only the top of her face covered maybe?

Alexander

I can't be the only one who is salty her first thought is "logan" instead of "rei". I get how toxic that is but I couldn't help myself from thinking that😭✋

Kory Leach

Thank you so much!!! I loved the changes! Now a two hour layover in Boston before we head back to Minnesota. I’m guessing that was Shido speaking to Viv through the link. Also wondering how Salista’s tune will change about Rei when/ if she finds out Rei is a Kamiya. THAT family should be prestigious enough for her!!!

gratch42

Nah - if you reread the scene Logan is the first to reach down, with both hands - so just the first contact and first voice in the room to awaken inner Viv. The Viv PoV scene also felt the most [Rough] of the text - so I’m not gonna critique it too much yet.

Alexander

True, it was just pettiness from me anyway haha.

Lyn Shirley

Bravo! These chapters flow so much better now. We needed to know Viv is improving and Aria is still Rei’s woman. Thanks for Salista’s, “What?” That made my day. :)

Linn G

Glad the dispute between Rei and Aria is mostly settled. I’m so excited for the upcoming Rei-Hiroto and Hiroto-Keiji/Samantha chapters! And Sarah! So many interesting exchanges that will happen soon. I’m way too invested in this story lol

Jeff McClure

Thanks for making my day and now ruining it as I await the next chapter of your wonderful series.

gratch42

I hope they are all discussions in a combat simulation. Well maybe at least one of them - best way for Sarah to introduce herself... ? 😃 Let’s talk and train!

Other

Perfect ending... her what... lol. And I was wondering how they would have access to the trainers, that was a very good explanation. Thank you.

Linn G

I’m hoping so much she will be the big protective sister and not the cold competitive one. She can be intense and all but hopefully she won’t become antagonistic towards Rei. Oh and maybe Rei could figure out who she is by her eye color like with Hiroto.

saynt

i know this is off topic but im not on reddit so im going to ask here but am i the only one who thinks the mind doesnt know reis parentage?

Devin Jaros

Well dang that scene between Rei and Gross straight up made me cry!

Lyssa

That made my day! It fits so perfectly and I loved the way you wrapped up Arias anger towards Rei

Woojoe

I’ve been wondering the same. Who knows about the Kamiya relationship to Rei? The Mind, Carmen, Rama, Abel? Seems like Carmen knows more about them now than he did during the ‘I’m concerned’ meeting. But it would make sense that the Mind could be the gatekeeper of that information. Anyway can’t wait to find out more in the next chapters.

Sam

Do you mean Salista? Cause Aria doesn't really seem to care.

Sam

Pretty sure that is Shido. I don't think Gemella would call her Cadet after being in her mind so much. And I don't think the MIND has access to speak to everyone in their minds.

Sam

I loved that Rei finally broke down. It is much more realistic. As much crap as he's had to deal with, he really needed just a moment to let it all out.

Sam

I still haven't figured out why the military would allow her to transfer from a prestigious SOL academy where she is the squad leader for a second-year team that took second place in Sectionals to Galens, who is well known in their area but is not truly a top notch school compared to her current school.

Darren Dyke

Ah. Yes that makes total sense. On the reread the white text is also indicative. MIND would/should be red

CinnamonHawk263

I might be wrong but aren’t chapters six and seven supposed to be swapped?

TDL

Does anyone have a clue who the third trainer will be?

Kory Leach

Absolutely, it was supposed to read “Aria’s mom…” but I edited it. We were literally taking off again when I was writing and had to get the phone into airplane mode ASAP so it didn’t all get written out properly.

Nozzy

The MIND might now about Reis parents but I doubt it cares much right now. If it did I think it would tell Dent due to the psychological impacts I could have on him by pushing him or breaking him. But I don’t think it cares much anyway, it would probably have to go thru thousands of wards to find him and his parents don’t seem the type to leave information about it, else I think his grandpa would have been able to find info about him/his death at some point. Only his squad knows so far, Rama doesn’t know just told him be careful cause jasper scared both him and rei. Carmen knows about the offer but not family if he doesn’t even know his own daughters boyfriend doubt he would know his family pedigree other than Ward. I get the impression award is like a hard stop, people don’t look into it or look past it. It’s a “dirty” word in their culture else it would be an insult people fling around at him, and if HIPAA laws are still present those ward files would be locked down tight as well.

Nozzy

I want to see Sarah absolutely destroy sidorov since they are both second years. She put in for the transfer, but they don’t have to approve it. Could use her background to grease the wheels, know her parents she’s learned a thing or two about that from them.

Nozzy

If it is shido why isn’t it talking to rei tho, it could be the shard portion but should still be able to talk to rei, didn’t the MIND say it would take care of her tho since it was its own fault she is their for miscalculating? Red might just be dents way of identifying Kes from the mind, default could all be white. Since Kes has both been green and blue texts.

Nozzy

Rama is going to come down hard on her if she tries to meddle again, and if grandpa finds out then with his scorched earth policy mindset right now good look to her. Grandpa seems to be a tad protective already, or to mention her brother would be there as well so she would be very out numbers if she tried to mess with rei.

Sam

Someone named Wainwright that we haven't met yet. Probably a saber or brawler since Rei's three current types are brawler/saber/phalanx. We know that Kalus is an A type but we don't know what type of A type so he might be able to cover either brawler or saber. Von Bor is there to cover the phalanx. Don't know if they will also end up with the other three types now that all of Firesong is supposed to be included.

Sam

We don't know why it isn't talking to Rei yet. I have theorized that Kestrel started talking to Dent after she got her face blown off as she was so very seriously injured. That was the perfect time to distract her with the discovery that her CAD was becoming sentient. Viv is so deeply injured that it would be easier for Shido to talk to her, I'm thinking. Despite his many injuries since receiving the CAD, Rei has not been as drastically injured as Viv is right now, so maybe Shido hasn't decided that he needs to know yet. Viv doesn't know who is talking to her and may not remember once she is awake so no secrets have yet been disclosed.

Sam

I was thinking the other day and realized that all CADs must have some ability for telepathy with their users, otherwise how would voiceless commands work. This leads into my conspiracy angle that I'm not sure I really believe in but that fits some of the clues thus far. We know that someone/something is causing Rei to be pushed. We are assuming that it is coming from Central, but the MIND hasn't found the proof yet. One thing that I have noticed is though Dent frequently verbally reminds people that Rei is still a kid, when she thinks of the war, she mentally thinks "ANYTHING TO MAKE HIM STRONGER." Since CADs must be able to either read their users minds or have some telepathic abilities, I have wondered if Kestrel is picking up on Dent's underlying thoughts and with its lack of human understanding is the impetus behind some of the events pushing Rei. Personally, I still think it is someone at Central but I can't get this little thought out of my head.

Darren Dyke

It meshes being the confirmation rei and aria needs AND it brings Viv back in since Shido reached out

Nozzy

Idk would be really weird for reis device having to talk to him via a third party, especially since he has a hud within his own helmet now, last book he thinks he doesn’t even need to mess with his noed any more so with a growth type cad it wouldn’t make sense for it to connect and talk to anyone but rei first. I would argue that reis body being 94% damaged in last book is more injured than viv. Vivs is more traumatic because the brain is fragile, she really only has swelling of the brain because her neuroline tech was fried. With rei being in more pain from his attack by the S0 that assaulted not only the brain but because of that made his body spasm so hard it ripped itself apart, it would have been a good time to distract him too since it also evolved at that time as well.

Brandon King

Also, Von Bor is a Sword Wielding Varient, so perhaps she can cover the Saber angle too?? This could free up Wrainwright to cover something else.. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Sam

I hadn't thought about that, but I guess you are right. If Kestrel could access the controls on the fields, then Shido could too, if it is sentient enough. I think that is the big question though because we don't yet know how sentient Shido actually is yet. Though I have no doubt whatsoever that it will become sentient at some point.

Xien

Sooooo effing goooooood!!! I’m torn between if that voice is Shido or the MIND. In book 2 when Dent felt that telling Rei more would help keep him focused and motivated the MIND mentioned that if she started Rei would want to know everything which left me thinking there’s a larger presence to all of this. Even Dents flashbacks to a cave and Carmen practicing to delve into rock… yeaaaaa whatever spawns arcons is next level… loving the cue up

Xien

Curious though what really gets a user and CAD to start communicating because as scarred and injured as Carmen has been no hint that Corpsus is sentient/sapient (??) but Vivs might be given her extreme brush with trauma?

Sam

Shido isn't talking to Rei via a third party as it isn't talking to Rei at all. And I would say that brain damage and a fried neuroline (which if I'm not mistaken plays a huge role in the CAD connecting to the user) would be a more traumatic injury than multiple muscle injuries.

Linn G

I was thinking about that, too. Especially if they would let a second year squad leader go who has put in quite some work with their team already. Maybe we will get a viewpoint chapter of that discussion.

Nozzy

I’m saying it would be weird for shido to talk to anyone but their own user first. You brought up how Kes helped distract dents mind with her injury which with reis body being 94% damage before he tested out the new shift and temporal shift it would have been perfect to distract his mind when he was in pain by just being awake sitting in the stands. Like I said her brain is the more traumatic injury because of where it’s located, Nero line is more for NOED because it can happen to non CAD users as well. It’s how they use them, and she’ll wake up in a few days but other than brain swelling she is reportedly fine. Her injury is more traumatic because brains are fragile, while I would argue 94% of your body being torn, fractured, is the more injured of the two. Basically her brain put itself in reset mode to protect its self, reis body couldn’t do that when it ripped itself apart all while experiencing that pain and psychological trauma. Viv reached her breaking point by pushing herself, rei and multiple dozens to hundreds of SO weapon strikes all at one time combine the mental pain with physical pain rei injury is far worse imo. Since his body can’t shut down to rest like vivs brain, rei still had to breath, move, blink talk anything that requires muscle movement, joint, and skeletal movement. Overall yes vivs injury more traumatic because of location but not nearly as comprehensive or as injured as rei. Still think it’s the mind because it’s connected to all cads else how can it track development and inform central of evolutions and abilities.

Jeffery Farmer

I might have missed it posted somewhere else, but I love the book cover art. I would love to see both of them with Shido in brawler mode though!

dark phoenix99

I liked the apologies. Aria is back in my good graces.

Brandon King

Bryce, do the merciful thing and just tell us the next chapter isn't coming till next week😅.....I can't be checking Patreon every 15 minutes all weekend..🤣

chris kizziah

That makes sense especially with the voice telling Vic not to wake up yet, that she still has sleeping to do. The question I had was whose cad was talking to Vic.

Sam

We got three chapters last week so I just assumed that we wouldn't get anything this weekend.

Brandon King

Yeah me too, TBH. Hope springs eternal though.. Usually tho, B will drop us a line saying it'll be next week or some such. Dude is busy tho, so all good. I'll happily go re-read 9-11 again!

radiantmemories451

Nice, I absolutely love the new bits, and the new chapter order.

Dorian Grey

I'd like to think it was either Shido or most likely Gemela. It's honestly probably Gemela though. Then again, the new connection between Shido and Gemela does make it possible for it to be Shido

Connor

In Chapter 3, is the "Lindon C. Wight Wing - User Treatment Unit" a reference to Wei Shi Lindon from Will Wight's Cradle series? Lindon Cradle Wight Wing?

Brandon King

Shoot, I'm greatly looking forward to Salista changing her tune once Rei becomes the Stormweaver AND an acknowledged member of the Kamiya fam...🤑

Jacob Clemens

Does anyone know if we are getting a chapter early this week, we didn't get anything over the weekend and I want to see that kaimya meeting, ive been looking forward to it since book 2!!

gratch42

I’m hoping for either Hiroto Kamiya or a Sunday night training session where Rei/Aria has them go CADless (from their sectionals findings) and everyone sees a surprising stat bump. Guessing Bryce has been somewhat reworking last drop, doing Wraithmarked duties, and figuring out where the arcs lead to next in his MIND.

Brandon King

Per Twitter X, I think our favorite author is taking a well-earned vacation.. Wouldn't plan on anything this week but who knows??

gratch42

Bryce posted on reddit - new chapter 12 coming this Friday is the plan.
