Because I added a new Chapter 1 in December, this is the next chapter after what was Chapter 3!

A little shorter this week, but with at least one really important moment that I think is going to be key to people's perceptions of certain characters.

Haven't reread the second half of this chapter yet, btw! So my apologize for the extra rough nature of it.*********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)!

Did I miss chapter 4 somewhere?

Christian

New numbering given insert of bew chapter one I suppose.

Wraithmarked Creative

Due to the inserted new Chapter 1 that was published in December, this would have been Chapter 4 (now 5).

Ah OK. I think I'll hold off for the story so far to read everything in order. Thanks for the clarification.

gratch42

Since a new chapter 1 was added - all the other chapters bump up a number. This occurs after the rough chapter 3 with Abel.

gratch42

Sneakity AI. Was hoping one of the staff would ask Rei to try using his link - push some requests to Shido for link configuration or ping Gamela or find out it only works during combat or … (ed: though maybe not try link with a CAD helping prevent brain damage…) Another good buildup chapter. Some Dent/Mind conflict building. How do you convince super giant AI though of collateral effects of “tooling” humans?

MillionLittleE

Chapter 3 is now chapter 4. Since there was a new chapter 1 every chapter got pushed backed a number.

JRatt

idk if the MIND can like things, but I bet it didn't like her saying that

Todd Smith

Is this still the same night where our heroes were confronted by General (Papa) Laurent, Aria spent the night in Rei's room, Viv developed a User-Unique Ability, & Rei outmaneuvered Jasper? A lot is happening very quickly. And I can't wait to see what's next!

“Life comes at you fast.”? -FerReis Bueller’s Day On

Gama

Yup, the same night all of this happened

PapaJohn

I remember the most significant thing that surprised me upon release was that compared to Iron Prince, which took place steadily over a few months, the majority of Fire and Song lasted a week... AND NOW SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED WITHIN ABOUT 8 HOURS!!! Evening training -> charades with Laraunt -> spending the night together -> Viv gets her UU ability, and so on and so forth like HOLY SHIT. I hope this is where the adrenaline ends! I can't wait for chapter 30 or something to get drafted so that I can reread the whole series again... and then get to the night that lasted; what? 10? 15 chapters? Across TWO BOOKS, no less! TL.DR: Keep it up, Bryce! I'm bloody well hooked!

Deamon Ohfivefour

Holy shit. The ethical implications of this chapter... staggering. The MIND's inability to compute the Human Factor coupled with Abel's delusional saviorist rhetoric, Dent's going to be shovelling hubris for days. Gonna need a bigger shovel...

Jacob Clemens

Chapter 6 coming tomorrow or Sunday right?

Deamon Ohfivefour

The nerve of that MIND... I think you are onto sumting there with the link comment... but the wrong end: not the staff but the kids, once back together, are gonna be looking into that on their own as a logical progression of their team discussions. And about team discussions; not fussy about keeping what happened to Viv from the others after literally saying secrets break teams. Screw orders on that one if I were Rei. The team needs come 1st. This is getting good. AND heavy. EDIT: Not critical of the content (after re-reading it i felt it may be misinterpreted). It's strictly a comment generated by an personal opinion aimed at generating discussion.

When I was at university, I was told by a professor that the different between physics and engineering is ‘+FF’ or the need to add a ‘fudge factor’ to every equation to account for the real world and human nature. Seems MIND, and Kes, could do with remembering that. Also, anyone else super curious as to what data Kes gathered? Is she communicating with Gemela too?? Definitely keen to see Rei try and use the link

Sorry, occupational hazard: "The trip back to Galens was just as quiet, with Ward and Arada" -> Laurent you mean

Just read The Story So Far. Noticed in Chapter 1 at the end Dent throws a curse at the MIND... which I took to be a generic curse on first read - but now... Also looked up Venus a bit - apparently it's very similar to the earth in size, gravity, and even composition - the reason we don't look there to colonize is the atmosphere is GIANT, mostly CO2, but also sulfuric acid clouds, and also insanely hot due to pressure of the giant atmo. So specialized trees that could process down the CO2 and withstand the heat would be a thing - after other "future tech" has a go. Currently every ship humans have landed there gets burned/crushed about an hour after it lands. Most interesting Venus fact - it's year (orbit around the sun) is shorter than its day (single revolution because it spins so slowly and is also the only planet that spins in the opposite direction).

sdf

I'm surprised Rei didn't call on his device and look at Viv through his helm's HUD. A change in color would be one thing to look for (blue to gold, or a different shade of blue). Also, any data the HUD could provide on her, with the link established: health, diagnostics, ...

saynt

its going to be interesting seeing them trying to keep it a secret when rai starts using endwalker...

gratch42

And they haven’t even gotten back to the room to update Catcher, Cashe, and probably Grant… about a number of things… and figuring out how/if to backtrack on telling them Shido “did something weird”. Though I guess “classified” is an answer.

PapaJohn

Cashe and Grant are about to get their first taste of the wonder of being on the receiving end of a gag order.😂😂😂 Catcher finna be like “tsk, now I know how Viv felt!”

Sam

I don't think Kes gathered data about Viv. I think the data that Dent is talking about is their data on humans as they try to learn more about them. It's an ongoing process for the AIs, to improve their understanding of why humans act the way they do.

Jordan Clark

Keeps getting better! can't wait for the next chapter.

Sam

We don't know how soon Rei gets access to Endwalker. He was clearly older in the snippet we got where he used it and his CAD was talking at that point.

Genevieve Dickinson

I get the feeling that in book 3 we might get the full backstory on the incident that took Valera off the battlefield and idk if I’m ready for that trauma tbh

James C

It felt like book1 was getting the Main Protaganist in to the story and established. Book 2 and the commencement of book3 was/is setting up the backstory, the politics etc, and inferring the obvious major challenge (the elephant in the room that is driving everything - repeated mentions to 5 years and running out of time etc).

James C

Hopefully soon progress and time will be back in synch (progress, story arc and drivers) and we can see where the rest of the story year goes. - Rei & Firesong's progress -specialised training etc. in preparation for big end of year tournaments

Gregg Moses

I love the story so far. Has anyone heard if a new chapter is coming out this week?

2026-09-06 19:00 Started reading book 1 to my students during Drop Everything And Read (DEAR), and a few seem to be hooked. They were so involved when I was explaining Abilities and the technical language in the 1st chapter 😂

I am a teacher as well. Is that an equivalent to SSR (Sustained Silent Reading)?

C B

When I was in 5th grade, my teacher read "The Crystal Shard" by Salvatore during our silent reading time, and I went on to read at least 20 more books from that author. Introducing people to new lit is awesome!

Daniel Moth

No Word on either Warformed or here. Honestly im questioning My support with the tempo of book tree. I know Bryce was sick, but radio silence and hardly Any progress... Might just wait for the finishen book. I fear this might taint My enjoyment of the book as a whole 😵‍💫☹️

Brandon King

Story is addictive no, doubt..

Brandon King

I do hope book 3 covers more than a week though...😅

Brandon King

Honest question: How many times a day do yall refresh this page?

Jordan Clark

3-4 times a day at this point

-Sanguine-

Aside from the soap opera-fication of the story in book 2 getting to most of us I think another big problem most people are seeing is that chapters revolve around dragged out conversations with 5-6 people just doing reaction shots to the same piece of information 😂 like come on I don’t think career military officers who’ve all seen combat to the death would be at the verge of a nervous breakdown because 1 cadet, however special, injured themselves in training. Dial it down a bit 😂 get back to the progression lol

-Sanguine-

Also does anyone else think ‘Ruinous’ is a bad name to replace Catcher’s original move name of ‘Blade Break’? The reason it sounds so weird is that all other move names are nouns and ‘Ruinous’, while edgy and cool and whatnot, is clearly an adjective. “Catcher used ruinous” is inherently clunky due to that

-Sanguine-

Yeah over the course of a few months we’ve gotten 6 chapters that are basically drawn out conversations repeatedly reacting to the same information. It’s so stale lol. I don’t think any of us are here for the other Wraithmarked projects they’re constantly promoting

-Sanguine-

Idk in contrast I think most people were put off by the fact that book one was so big and then book 2 was just them in a small scale tournament. They’re still in their first year of school they haven’t even done globals yet? It’s too small scale. Starting to feel like a soap opera with overblown reaction content

Daniel Moth

I get that he has to enjoy writing and us complaining negatively effects him som My solution is to step away and wait for the release. And im 100% buying and and cant wait.

Wes Brown

You say " DEAR" like anyone hear knows or cares what that is. Don't randomly include acronyms for programs that are school specific that no one else would actually know about without context. It's annoying, I can't begin to tell you how annoying it is. It comes off as super pretentious, and it's confusing. Even another teacher didn't know what you were talking about. If you are going to reference it, explain it fully.

Wraithmarked Creative

He'll be gone as soon as I get to a computer, Tia! I thought it was cool, and I hope you keep sharing 😁 Bryce

gratch42

In the Wraithmark Patreon a few months back there was a super spoiler thread about a separate Warformed universe novel to be written by a different author. It contains a one page “hook” writing from Bryce.
