Xain, a Husk who manifested in the Tenth Realm of Yid, was perfectly happy living the quiet life he shared with his wolf Fen and adopted father Bow, until a visit from the Norns rips it all away. Together with Fen, Xain must now journey into the outer Nine Realms in search of a secret which had already cost the lives of at least two of the Primal Gods. As he is thrust into a world where those who wield runic power are a commodity, Xain quickly learns his path to survival lies in growing his own array and understanding the power of the banned rune Dagaz he holds. Authors Note: You can expect 1-2 chapters weekly. This is my first Web novel, and one of several projects I am currently working on. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 50–149 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
