After the ups and downs, trials and tribulations, and other things that may have gotten in the way, it is my pleasure to announce that the eighth issue in the Sphere of Light series has been released!
Today, Yscariot: Wrath of the Royals, (also available on Amazon) which is the second chapter of the main Yscariot saga, has finally been updated with a new verse, Unwelcoming Visitor, moves the story to a total of over 8,400 words.
The next update will include Verse Four: Violet Violence to start the beta form of the book. In addition, the price of the book will increase slightly for new customers to $1.25 USD.
Existing subscribers will not have to pay extra for any update. New subscribers will not have to pay extra for future updates as well.
GooglePlay and Amazon titles will update at different times, but GooglePlay should already have updates completed.
As the creator of Yscariot, I hoped to bring the news as soon as I can about all things related to my life’s work. However, the Novel Coronavirus is reportedly causing a shutdown on the city of Shanghai as well as other cities in China. Schools, gyms, and businesses have all shut down. Does it mean more time to work on the story? Not quite, but it brings work home and there is a large amount of time researching solutions to any issue that may arise if I am unable to continue living in China. We are strong, and I believe that China will rise from this issue.
As far as Yscariot itself is concerned, it will be some time when I’ll release new material in a timely fashion. I will release new material, but in a slower capacity than usual, unless there is a lot of [financial] support from a community to help the story become more self-sufficient as my online work hours have been reduced significantly and that means it will be harder to produce work.
The novel-based Issue 04: Dark Memory was originally intended for a Valentine’s Day release and will be tentatively moved to March 4th. New songs (jingles) were also created as filler songs and may be released on a special page in the future for customers.
Chapter 2: Wrath of Royals sales were incredibly low, and that won’t stop its progression, however it does influence at lot of the progression towards a new chapter’s completion. With this, I’ll be creating a prequel to the events of the Yscariot: Awakening verse titled Yscariot: Verse Double Zero.
Although things are quite slow, don’t stop supporting the movement! We need all the help we can get! Thank you!
Issue 01: Awakening will be re-released in Spanish for a special price (limited time). You can pre-order it on GooglePlay (Amazon coming soon). The book will return to $.99 USD on its release date JANUARY 17, 2020.
Issue 04 is currently in the works and will be released Spring 2020 (TBA).

Issue 02 will feature two verses and introduce new characters.
Author, Marcus Medina, banned from WeChat for an indefinite about of time.
For no reason stated by Tencent, the leader of the movement was banned indefinitely on their WeChat platform ON HIS BIRTHDAY!
While it definitely made for the worst birthday gift ever, the author of the Yscariot series had a great time celebrating his birthday with delicious Italian food and cake in Shanghai, China.
Back to the banning. A ban on the WeChat platform, which is primarily the main form of communication in China, means a return to the dark ages from a period of 90 days or more. You will not be able to communicate (send/receive messages) along with other things.
Here is the official statement from the author:
To all of my friends in China, if you are reading this, please know that I received the majority of your messages and I want to say thank you so much for the birthday wishes and greetings.
The Yscariot: Issue 01 comic book will probably experience a setback in physical sales due to the WeChat debacle, but I will work to find a way to communicate with you all to work something out.
Sorry for the trouble and hope to catch up with you all again.
After a number of years, the Earth gets an upgraded look. Also, for the first time ever, the Earth is now properly labeled on this site to show where land is located. We’ll fix the labels in time for the comic’s debut over the coming weeks!
The 20th Anniversary of Yscariot is near. I will finally reveal the reason why Yscariot is an ACTION story. Two true, major events created this moment.
Here is a video made for the golem, GOLIAS, which is featured in Yscariot and contains two parts in the full version. You can also listen to other demos to my tunes.
That’s right! I have been doing too much lately and little of it had to do with Yscariot! I must apologize for the long delays! Working on this alone means I had a lot of juggling to do. Classes and seminars are done, but to enjoy the time off and complete the thesis in peace, a man such as myself need funds, and then those funds will be used to go on vacation. Yes, every man [and woman] needs a little pampering, so go for it.
