Hello everyone! The day has finally arrived. Book 1 of RE: Deity – The Breath of Creation has officially released on Amazon! The ebook is available now and is included in Kindle Unlimited for those who use it; I even have a paperback version in the works, though that is, admittedly, mostly for my own sake because I like physical copies. Royalroad doesn't let me click the link here, so check it out above!

  Nothing about the posting schedule here is changing—I’ll continue updating according to plan. If you’ve been enjoying the series and want to support it, checking out the Amazon version or leaving a review would mean the world.

  Thank you all for reading, commenting, and sticking with this story. This community has been incredible, and your feedback helped shape the final version of the book. Which brings up another point - this isn't exactly a 1-to-1 copy-paste. I made a lot of minor tweaks to the story to make it flow and (hopefully) hit even better than before.

  Here's the (incomplete) changelog:

  - Added more emotion. This is very similar to the theoretical 1.1 chapter I posted a while back, but dialed back a bit. Mostly it's changing a lot of nodding or shifting of feet or blinking in surprise to genuine reactions.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  - Made the Shadow more intimidating. It should be clearer now that Statera had to genuinely struggle a bit to beat the Shadow - especially holding the weight of the Shadow's fate, which should have been far more difficult.

  - Thyia. I changed Thyia a bit, to better fit the themes I was portraying with her. Nothing over major, I just went back to the original design that I had planned for her, pre-posting to RoyalRoad. While posting there I ended up changing it and...was never quite happy with the result.

  - Many minor tweaks. Things like the God of Fire having a name that I revealed in Book 1 (Vesuvius) but completely forgot about, I now spread through the rest of the book. There are honestly too many to list, but they're mostly minor consistency things.

  - Grammatical edits. Lots of these. LOOOOTS of these.

  So yeah! Did a lot. Will probably make some changes to book 2, too; that one might get extra scenes and chapters...we'll see how it goes. That said, thank you all so much for reading and supporting so far! Chapter releases won't change moving forward unless something insane happens, I still intend to get two out a week for y'all. Thanks, and hope you continue to enjoy!
