Mustardseed Realms

Travelers, we've received numerous comm-links from across the universe asking how to gain access to the whitelist for the Vroshen Hero Collection, Mariad's first digital collectible.

🌳(The First Traveler settles down on ancient stone steps leading up to a courtyard of glowing blue portals surrounding a large iridescent tree.)

"It's pretty easy. You just have to find the portals."

🚪Portal 1: Read Return of the Lost Ones https://amazon.com/Return-Lost-Ones-BlueSteel-Book-ebook/dp/B0CLKW1ZC3 - at the end of the book, there are multiple clues to help you find everything you need and direct you to the portal.

"Yes, I know some of you travelers are impatient."

🗝️Portal 2: MSR Discord- https://discord.gg/th4zKrWSfc
Enter the Mariad Community, follow the instructions, and if you spend a little time sharing stories with other travelers in Mariad, or talking with Gossama, you will receive the key to access a portal to the whitelist.

"What's that? You want the key but without all the work? Well now, that's not how things work around here."

🪙Portal 3: Second Digital Collection
In February, we will release book 2 of the fantasy series and a second collection that will be much easier to acquire, but it won't be free.

Fair warning: mint will be before Christmas. We already have people joining the whitelist now. The earlier, the better...Don't miss out.

What's that? You have no idea what a digital collectible is? We have a newsletter for that. Next issue going out on Friday. Check it out. mustardseedrealms.com/newsletter

If you know where to go, and you have the key, you may begin…

Travelers: the Mustardseed Realms Council has been busy preparing for the video game launch in the next week.

The game serves as a testing ground for those who desire to become Tenedrae.

You must have the key from Return of the Lost Ones to play the free game!

Read the book. Find the key. Play the game. Get the rewards.

The First Traveler and the Council are aware of enemies who will infiltrate Mariad by cheating.

Enemies will be allowed inside so that we can find you - and eliminate you.

Sometimes you just have to stop and take a break for an evening. Was blessed to go with my son after being asked by a friend to attend a Charlotte Checkers game.
(It was hard to step away, but I need to do this more often.)

Updates!

***Publishing***

✅ ROTLO: People are reading and leaving reviews.

✅ Exile’s Hope back from the proofreader. The final touches were applied, and it’s being formatted.

📘I’m having a blast working on book 3.

***Marketing:***
- We will do another big push for ROTLO in the next few weeks. Ads cost more now.
- We will not be marketing the video game as a stand alone product. It will be a deliverable with book 1 as previously stated.
- begin with story origin.

🎮 ***Gaming:***

We had a great week of community testing and received valuable and critical feedback.

We will stick to the plan and release the game in a week as a free companion to the book and to serve as a fun experience and for acquiring the NFT.

***Important***
Many people rely on announcements for updates.
To reward the community who engages, we are implementing a few systems and will provide alpha in the chats first. (Join Discord)

TLDR:
- everything is going well.
- No changes to release/launch.
- Alpha hidden in community chats not announcements.

Ty!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Taking a moment to breathe amidst all of the content creation.

I am so grateful for everyone who has been so supportive of Mustardseed Realms.

Thank you for getting the book, reading the book, and thank you to all of those who’ve expressed how much they are enjoying the book.

Thank you to those who have been engaging on social media. Thank you to those who sent me messages of support.

Thank you to my family for allowing me to follow my dream.

Thank you, God, for all you do!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mustardseed Realms is proud to present its first fan creation.

A young Traveler sent in this unsolicited recreation of a scene from chapter 10 of Return of the Lost Ones.

In response, the Council of Mariad has decreed the young Traveler will receive a small token of appreciation.

(David jumps around in glee at the thought of readers enjoying the story and using their imagination.)

2400+ people reading the book, Return of the Lost Ones.
They solve the puzzle and find the portal to the game.
Game drops in two weeks. (Gives people time to finish book.)
Quality testing going on right now.
It’s not rocket science. It’s just fun.

Silly Amazon. They forgot to send their premier lawn service to take care of the leaves in my yard. I mean, I scored first place in their game. You would think they would at least take care of my leaves. 😂

May not last long, but that's a solid start!
Thank you everyone!

This is why I work so hard. 2 days.

28/10/2023

Not just an imaginary monster in a story…when you finish the book you can prove your bravery by conquering lost ones in a game brought to you by Mustardseed Realms…but you’ll have to find the key to play the game (hint: it’s in the book.)

25/10/2023

So much planned. So much already made. Launching in one week.

24/10/2023

Yes, we're working on a small video game to accompany Return of the Lost Ones.

23/10/2023

So the first book may not be enough…we might be releasing a small 2D video game in November as well that’s associated with the story…👀. More to come.

The interview you’ve all been waiting for!

A rare sighting of David in the wild allows a reporter to ask the burning questions everyone wants to know.
