Update 19-10-2014
I was still writing this right? I'll continue to work on it whenever I feel like it. But I must finish it. One day it will be finished. Sorry all. Here is chapter 31.
Update 16-07-2014
Guess I haven't touched this thing in ages. Don't know what happened. After finishing the Boundaries to Break I guess I just temporarily lost the will to write. I didn't feel like writing for a while. But bit by bit I started picking up this one again. Stupid thing is that I have it all almost entirely planned out. I just need to write it down. Sorry guys. It's like I'm becoming one of those stupid writers that never finish their stories. Can't let that happen.
Update 10-04-2014
Yeah, I know. This is not just a little overdue. Had a lot on my mind lately. I started to regain interest in playing computer games again so that's what caused the lack of activity. I need to balance things a little cause lately I haven't been working on stories much. Other than that, I've been going through the process of working with an artist on deviantART to finally draw some of my characters. That worked out extremely well. Still, I haven't lost interest in my stuff. Need to finish the Boundaries to Break and then I have more time to finish this fic as well. I'll try to keep the chapters coming a little quicker.
Update 16-02-2014
It's been a month since I last touched this, I know! I really want to finish this story but lack of time is the real problem. Will be working on two stories simultaneously. Hopefully I can get the next chapter done sooner.
Update 16-01-2014
I know it's been a while and I decided to remove the old update messages from this page. The reason for the delay is another I story I was talked into writing. It's called the Boundaries to Break and I've put it up here on fanfiction and on deviantART. It's a totally different kind of thing, a love story about a human girl and a Mantrin guy. So far I'm really enjoying working on that, but this story continues too of course. Watch out for more chapters of both stories.
Update 26-12-2013
I wanted to get this up earlier but with Christmas in between things were a little chaotic and it wasn't finished in time. But chapter 26 is up and it's still a bit emotional but beautiful at the same time. At least I could throw in an extra piece of Mantrin culture and that's always good in my opinion. I'll just get started on the next chapter.
Update 08-12-2013
Ehm, how do I put this? This latest chapter was incredibly hard for me to write for various reasons. I actually got a little emotional. I started to listen to the last part of the Gladiator soundtrack and all of this came out. I won't spoil anything. I'm sorry.
Update 08-09-2013
New chapter! Didn't want to keep up the suspense for so long. By the way, I'll be leaving for a month in about 1,5 weeks. The reason is holiday, the destination is the USA. :D Don't think I'll have access to a computer or time to write. I'll try to write another chapter before I leave. USA, here I come!
Update 19-08-2013
I'm sooo sorry for not showing any signs of life for so long. I've been on holiday and things like that and still settling into my new life after joining the worker caste of our civilization. It meant I had to adjust my schedule, find a rhythm and go with the flow. I'm actually writing more in the weekends than on mid-week evenings but I hope I can get some new chapters up sooner. I still want to finish this story so badly but there're so many other things I want to do as well. I guess it's hard when you're working (-_-')
Anyway, I'll see what I can do.
Update 07-07-2013
It was sooooo hard. But I did it! I graduated. No more school. No more working two jobs. It's back to one job and free weekends and evenings. That should increase my amount of spare time. Here's a new chapter to celebrate. :D
Update 05-06-2013
And again I couldn't keep my promise. *shame shame* Graduation is close though. Only four weeks to go. At least I finally finished another chapter. The show must go on.
Update 03-05-2013
Here's the next chapter, and much sooner than expected. I think I finally found the right balance between writing and doing other things. This should work. I'll try to get the next chapter done roughly within the same amount of time. I'm not going to spoil anything. You'll just have to wait to see what happens. PS. I cleaned up the updates page a bit.
Update 21-04-2013
Got a new chapter up. It's still going slow. I know want I want to write. Hell, I even know how I'm going to end this trilogy and how to get there. Now I just need to write it down.
Update 18-03-2013
The next chapter is up. I won't give up. I'll find the time to finish this story one way or another. StarCraft II is beginning to mess with my time too. I really need to limit my game time, start working on the next chapter...
Update 04-02-2013
It's been a while again since the last update. This is a longer chapter and that's usually the case with chapters of this kind. I'm probably gonna leave everyone in the dark for a while but I'll see what I can do to write more often.
Update 31-12-2012
I know it's been an awful while people. I've got little time but I won't give up. Here the next chapter, finally after a couple of weeks I finished it. But more importantly than that, best wishes for the new year! Hopefully I can get this story done before I have to say this again. Thanks for reading!
Update 15-11-2012
Better late than never. Here's chapter 12. I'm very busy with school and work but I'll just try to find some time to work on the next chapter. Hope I can get it up soon.
Update 21-10-2012
I haven't updated this stuff in ages. I know it's really going slow. I won't quit though. I'll work on it whenever I can.
Update 08-09-2012
Well that was sooner than expected. ;) I really felt like writing this week. A little stress is good for a writer. Helps to alleviate the stress and keep your mind at ease when you're working on a story. Maybe I can speed things up a little more.
Update 28-08-2012
It's almost a month, I know. From this point on, the story will become darker. Nasty school is starting again next week. I'm suffering from back to school depression. I'm glad this is going to be my final year. I've spend enough time in the benches.
Update 30-07-2012
Another chapter. I'm just enjoying my holiday too much. It's progressing slowly but I'm writing as much as I can. For some reason there's so much I need and want to do. It's messing with my writing time.
Update 09-07-2012
Sigh. I guess I couldn't. Damn I didn't have time those last two weeks of my intern. Now I'm free of all obligations for while. Now I should be able to get chapters done much quicker. Sorry. Damn myself again.
Update 10-06-2012
That was sooner than expected. Let's see if I can at least keep up this tempo until summer. When the holidays start I'll have much more time for writing. Enjoy chapter 6. I'll start working on chapter 7 first thing tomorrow evening.
Update 28-05-2012
It's been four weeks again since the last update. Damn myself for not finishing chapter 5 sooner. Truth is I've been gaming too much because I was too excited about my new computer. I'll try not to let excitement take over again in the upcoming weeks. Just 5 weeks worth of internship left. Then I have all the time in the world to play games AND write stories.
Update 29-04-2012
Here is chapter 4. I've handled a little request from one of my readers in this chapter. Of course I was gonna bring him back! I just needed a good moment. :D I'm already working on the next chapter. Enjoy!
Update 08-04-2012
Took me a while to finish chapter 3, sorry. Next one will follow up sooner. Damn, I hate it that my evenings are so short. The story will start getting darker soon. I may even touch a certain evil I haven't touched before. Everyone has a dark side and mine sometimes comes up with things… I'm not gonna tell that much. ;) You'll see…
Update 07-03-2012
Chapter 2 posted. I've thought about making this a shorter story than the other two, but knowing myself it'll probably end up being only a tiny bit shorter. I always come up with tons of things while writing and I want to put it all in. I'll just see what happens. I'll try to watch the chapter length too. No more 10000+ ones.
Update 22-02-2012
Guess I had less time to write than I thought but I'll keep writing nonetheless. I'm in the middle of my internship and it's forty hours a week so little time in the evenings since there are other things I need and want to do as well. It's progressing a little slow, I know but I will finish what I've started. It just might take a while. The first 'real' chapter is up.
Update 05-02-2012
The start of the final story. Wow, my internship starts in one week. I'm pretty sure it'll cut heavily into my writing time but I love this too much so I'll just keep working on it whenever I can. I'll make the promise right now: I will finish this trilogy. I've said it perhaps a dozen times before but I've come waaaaay too far to quit now. Unless lightning strikes me down or something I will get this done. The first chapter is up. Enjoy!

The story:
The third and final installment of the Shattered Universe trilogy. It's been two years since Asath-Yvanu and his warriors were defeated but during this time it's been far from peaceful and the situation has been slowly but gradually destabilizing, quite literally. The Republic itself has become even bigger, with several more worlds joining the alliance, even ones that rarely had contact with Earth in the past. Despite multiple hostile contacts with factions from other universes the danger is not just coming from outside. It is space itself that is slowly turning into a dangerous trans-dimensional wasteland. With destructive anomalies appearing everywhere, scientists are desperately searching for a way to stop the universe from tearing itself apart. The solution is a dangerous journey into the unknown with a small chance of returning safely and an even smaller chance of success and on top of that, a parallel universe threatens to jeopardize the entire operation.
