“You’re surprised, my lord?” The prime minister was nearly shouting. “You’re surprised? You put a nineteen-year-old sovereign on a pitch with half naked women dancing on the sidelines, while sixteen slavering beasts run at each other, carrying men holding giant mallets. Then, when he’s mortally wounded, you’re surprised!”

The old man shook with rage, “How could I be the only person who saw this coming?”

DING It’s just past midnight on my birthday, which means I’ve leveled up. I am now a lvl 39 Neutral Good Paladin.

In honor of my birthday, I’m using my last day of KDP select free promotion to give all of you wickedly handsome people (and you are looking particularly good today. How do you do that?) a free copy of my most successful book “Tumbler”.

And what can you do for me? Tell you what. Buy a copy of “The Hidden Institute”, and give it to someone you love. Or, if you didn’t much like the book, give it to someone you hate. Throw it at them. Either way, I’ll thank you.
