Book 3 Coming Soon and Already Started on Patreon

I just posted book 3 chapter 1 on Patreon. Furthermore, I am ready to resume the schedule of weekly chapters. Book 3 will come to NovelBin in due time.

For now, here's a little teaser of the beginning of it:

B3 Chapter 1: Bugging Out

He'd barely even begun to inhale when his hands stopped shaking, his heartbeat slowed, and his mind snapped with crystal clarity onto the urgent task of solving the disaster they faced. His 23 years of life as a nerd, student, and software engineer had not prepared him this well for calmly handling life-and-death crisis decisions, and the few months of experience in this new world since his arrival weren't nearly enough to have changed that naturally. His mind-augmenting soul structures were showing their worth yet again.

A memory sprang to mind, one from the world he'd grown up in. Using Google Maps to navigate while driving, he'd noticed that it only ever said just "turn right" when the turn was immediate. Otherwise, it always led with how far away the turn was — for example, "In half a mile, turn right." For imminent action, the first thing you needed to know wasn't what to do, but when to do it. He could actually consider both points concurrently, but that was what having extra minds was for.
