Beta Readers Wanted – Ashborn Chapters 1 & 2 Now Live! (Patreon)

Note: Draft version of Blurb and cover below.

Hey everyone!

I mentioned before I have a second story in the works, Ashborn, and I’m excited to finally share the first two chapters with you! After several drafts and revisions, I’m ready to open it up for beta reading—and I’d love your thoughts.

These chapters are now available to all Patrons, including free-tier readers. I’ll be posting more chapters over the next week as I refine them.

If you have time to read, I’d deeply appreciate your feedback—especially on:

Ashe – Does her tone and personality match the kind of character you expect from her backstory and setting?

Story & Plot – Is it engaging? Are there any confusing parts?

Her powers – Do you like how they’re presented so far?

The LitRPG system – This is my first time writing a hard LitRPG system, so I’d love to hear if it reads well and makes sense.

Your input will help shape the final version of this story, so thank you in advance for being part of the process!

Also, be aware that the chapters are a lot shorter than those of TLQ. I'm bringing them in line with what's expected for the genre on RoyalRoad.

Here’s an early peek at the draft cover art (massive thanks to my artist for the sneak preview!)

Ashborn.

Flames burn eternal in the Plane of Fires—and no death is ever final.

Once the ruler of an entire realm, Ashe awakens in the body of a disgraced cultivator fleeing execution. Her new prison: Everwinter, a frozen, mystic domain with a ticking clock.

It should have been the end.

But the Court of Flame follows their empress, even into death.

Armed with the six noble bloodlines of fire—summoned spirits born of ash, wrath, and loyalty—Ashe will rise again.

No matter who dares stand in her way.

A dark, survival-driven LitRPG featuring summoning, high-stakes progression, and a heroine who refuses to burn out.

Thank you again for being here and supporting my stories. I can’t wait to hear what you think of Ashe and her burning return.
