Chapter Announcement (for other book) + deleted content (for this book)

My other book is launching on Amazon! It's pretty different from this story, but I'd still appreciate it if you guys took a look at it. Here's the blurb:

Four friends work together to break the system and make the world a better place in this cozy, fun-filled fantasy-adventure filled with twists and turns.

In the Prime Kingdoms, the system dominates everything. It dictates ones strength, skills, and power. It spawns dungeons and guides the actions of their monsters. But every system has its limits, and its about to push four oddball adventurers to theirs.

Theres Derivan, an enchanted suit of armor in the middle of an existential crisis. And theres the tanklike half-orc Misa, who loves exploiting the system but misses her familyunlike the anxious-but-lovable Vex, a lizardkin wizard whos run away from his own. Then theres Sev, a cleric who would rather have tea with his god than worship him. None are prepared when a simple quest goes off the rails, interrupted by the appearance of a mysterious dungeon linked to each of them.

Something is deeply wrong within the Prime Kingdoms. The system is malfunctioning, and the world itself seems to be falling apart. If Derivan, Misa, Vex, and Sev hope to survivelet alone determine the source of the chaosthey must rely on their trust for one another, share their secrets, and perhaps even engage in a bit of healthy communication.

Now if only everyone else would do the same...

(It might sound light, but there's plenty of existential horror packed somewhere in there.)
