A square graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is an illustration of a landscape. The landscape is a city with oriental architecture, shrouded by a deep cloudy mist. In the center is a large palace with a tall spire, framed by a large red solar eclipse dominating the sky. The graphic title in bold gray text outlined with black, which reads "An Excerpt from the First Chapter of Below the Heavens" Directly underneath that in bold red text outlined with black is the subtitle, which reads "Sins of a Dying Empire.". Below that in the same text as the main title is the body text, which reads "Molam threw himself to the side as a whistle pierced the air and the projectile buried itself into a nearby tree with a thud. With no time to prepare, he was forced to lock his arms around his pack to protect its contents from being crushed as he hit the ground, doing his best to break his fall with a roll that sent him tumbling through the Forest's floor until stopped by a thorny bush. He sucked in air through clenched teeth before pulling himself back to his feet and continued running, tugging his cloak from the bush's thorny grasp. The exertion from sprinting through the Slumbering Forest manifested as a dull ache in his chest and he felt the burning pain of his muscles crying out for rest. There could be no rest now; being auraless, to stay here was to die."

    Here's a little repost of my Meet the Author with the updated graphics for my rebrand!

    Below the Heavens is a high fantasy webnovel series featuring a quick witted protagonist and a world and magic system crafted from scratch, incorporating east Asian culture and influences.

    It is available for free via web browser or the app on Royal Road, as well as on Scribblehub! You can find those links along with my Discord, Patreon, and other social media in my bio.

The graphic title in bold gray text outlined with black, which reads "Meet the Author." Directly underneath that in bold red text outlined with black is the body text, which reads: "Hey! I'm CKMo (he/him), a Taiwanese writer living in the bay area of California. One of my goals in writing is to help bring more themes and ideas from East Asian culture into Western media. Some of the other reasons I decided to write include my characters. They've lived with me for some time, and wanted their story to be told. I've also been a fan of the written word since I was young, which started to draw me towards crafting my own prose. Between these and the fact that I have a penchant for writing cool lines, I needed to create a world for all these things to come together. Some of the other hobbies I have outside of writing include Magic the Gathering, various genres of video games, and anime of course. Due to my full time job, I'm assisted in running my accounts by a social media manager. Most posts and comments will be handled by them, but any DMs, emails, or other personal communications will be responded to by myself personally."

    As promised, here's the reveal for the new rebrand for my indie series, Below the Heavens!

    The amazing art was done by the wonderful Kiguri over on X, @/nomaismar!

    A square reveal graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is a darkened photo of a worn, wooden shelf with haphazardly stacked books filling it to the brim. Layered on top in the center of the graphic, is a transparent white square with a black outline, showing the photo behind and creating a border out of it within the graphic. In the middle of this square frame is another black outline frame which is rectangular and has rounded corners. This frame contains a book cover, which features a graphic art landscape. The landscape is a city with oriental architecture, shrouded by a deep cloudy mist. In the center is a large palace with a tall spire, framed by a large red solar eclipse dominating the sky. Over the top of this art work, in bold gray text outlined with black, is the series name, "Below the Heavens." Below that in the same text but slightly larger is the book title, "Sins of a Dying Empire". Underneath the title in bold red text with a black outline is the author's name, "CKMo".

    A square announcement graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is a darkened photo of a worn, wooden shelf with haphazardly stacked books filling it to the brim. Layered on top in the center of the graphic, is a transparent white square with a black outline, showing the photo behind and creating a border out of it within the graphic. At the top of this transparent frame is bold gray text with a black outline that reads "Below the Heavens". Under that and to the left is another rectangular black frame that contains book cover art, but is halfway hidden by an illustration of a red draped cloth covering it. To the right of this frame and directly beneath the graphic title is more text, glowing red, that reads "Rebranded". Below this text, and still beside the book cover, is bold red text outlined in black, which reads "Cover & Title Reveal". Underneath this is a date, in bold gray text outlined in black, that reads "5/5/2024". Below the date and the book cover as well, centered at the bottom of the transparent white square frame, is more bold gray text outlined in black, this time reading "Book One".
