General Questions
Will there be more books?
Yes, a Book II has been confirmed and is currently in development. However, its release is still a ways off and won’t be happening anytime soon. Our main focus is on perfecting and marketing the first book, alongside creating short stories and developing a few side stories. Our long-term goal for the series is to have a total of five books, though we recognize that this will take some time to accomplish.
Will there be other book series?
Our main focus remains on continuing the high-fantasy novel series while expanding the world through short stories and side narratives. We do plan to release additional series set within the same universe, possibly exploring different timelines—such as 100 years in the past or future—but this is not a priority at the moment. In the future, we might explore other genres, including Dungeon Break, LitRPG, and eSports-themed books, but for now, those remain further down the line.
Will there be an audiobook?
There is not currently an audiobook, but we do plan to have one made at some point! We may also in the future have short stories and other works with audio transcriptions.
What are your plans for the website?
To maintain engagement with our audience, we will regularly update the website with blog posts featuring upcoming events, new content for both authors and readers, and the release of short stories and novellas. As we continue to expand the universe, we also plan to introduce art galleries, character cards, and additional locations for our audience to explore and enjoy.
What are your plans for the future?
This book—and the world behind it—is part of something much bigger. We’re not just publishing a story; we’re building a universe. As authors, programmers, and game designers, our goal is to create a multi-format IP that spans far beyond the page. This book is just the first step. From here, we plan to expand into a full book series, then a manga/manhwa adaptation, and eventually a video game. Because of that vision, the way we’ve structured the world—and how you experience it—may feel a little different from traditional or self-published books.
What ages are your works appropriate for?
The main novel series contains minor levels of profanity and violence. Other works may vary in the levels of content, topics, and themes presented, with some works being child-friendly, others including profanity and/or mature themes, and others including more explicitly adult themes. A content advisory will be provided for short stories on the website, and anything explicitly adult will require age verification.
Where can I find updates on new things happening?
Stay informed on the latest updates by subscribing to our weekly newsletter. You’ll receive news on book signings, upcoming events, short story releases, merchandise drops, and all things related to the world we’re building. Additionally, we will be implementing blog updates directly on the website, so be sure to check back for that section every now and then.
What will be on the Patreon?
Patreon members will receive exclusive early access to short stories and artwork before they are publicly released on the website. Special collaborations may be available exclusively to Patrons, and certain tiers may include additional perks such as detailed character information, exclusive Q&A sessions, and writing feedback and reviews. We will also offer guides on book writing and marketing, as well as opportunities for special collaborations with the authors based on membership duration. As we continue to grow, we will be adding more benefits to our tiers, and members can cancel at any time with no hassle.
Do you use AI art or writing within your works?
While we acknowledge the increasing use of AI in art and writing, we do not use AI for any of our commercial works. Our writing has been professionally proofread and crafted entirely with our own words. For our artwork, we work with top-tier artists and concept designers from the industry, including those who have contributed to AAA video games like League of Legends, Diablo, and more.
The only AI-generated art on our website is currently used as placeholder images—like in some blog posts or short stories panels—which we plan to replace with work from real artists in the future. All commercial works, including the book, art gallery, and detailed world map, are created with the collaboration of skilled artists who also produce their work without the use of AI assistance.
Will you have any live event signings?
At the moment, we’re not actively seeking to host any events. Our focus is on hiring new talent, expanding the brand and business and writing more cool stuff. However, once we do decide to plan a book signing or other event, our subscribers will be the first to receive the news.
Do you do any editorial work?

COMMON INQUIRIES
How do I purchase the book?
You can purchase the book directly on our website, or through affiliate platforms like Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble, BookBub, and Apple Read. Please note that digital pricing may vary depending on the fees and charges of each platform, but our website typically offers the best deals. Additionally, physical copies are only available through our website, while other sites will only offer the digital version.
Is the book available on Amazon or other retailers?
Right now, we’re committed to maintaining full control over the quality of every item we ship. That’s why we only sell physical products through our website. We may offer the digital version on platforms like Amazon in the future, but for now, everything is exclusively available right here on our site.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major payment methods, including Visa, Mastercard, credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, and Venmo. While we do not currently support Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or other cryptocurrencies through our website, this may change in the future. If you wish to purchase the book using cryptocurrency, please contact us at support@worldasteria.com for assistance.
Do you offer discounts or promotions?
Yes, we offer promotions and discounts from time to time. These are typically available to individuals through special offers, or as a benefit for our Patreon members. To stay updated on the latest deals, we recommend following our website, newsletter, and Patreon page, as we occasionally send out exclusive discounts and early access to offers.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Orders are expected to arrive within 7-14 business days from the date of purchase, depending on your location. If you have not received your order within 10 business days, please contact us at support@worldasteria.com with your full name, order ID, initial email confirmation, and order details. Once reviewed, we’ll promptly assess your order. If it was lost in transit, we’ll issue a replacement or refund at no additional cost.
Do you ship internationally?
We currently offer shipping to the United States, Canada and Europe. Shipping to Asia and Oceania is available, though rates are significantly higher. At this time, we do not ship to the Middle East. The digital version, however, is available worldwide, as these restrictions apply only to physical orders.
What are your shipping rates?
Enjoy free shipping on all orders within the United States and United Kingdom. For Europe, there’s a flat $4.99 shipping fee, and for Canada, it’s $9.99. Shipping to Asia and Oceania typically costs $15.00 or more, as we don’t regularly ship to those regions—but if you are willing to pay the extra fee, we’re happy to arrange a special order.
How will my book be delivered?
Orders are shipped via Express Mail or delivered directly to your door using FedEx Priority, USPS Ground, USPS Media Mail, or other major carriers depending on your region. For UK orders, we ship using Royal Mail 1st Class, Yodel, or DPD. All orders within the United States and United Kingdom include tracking. Packages are wrapped in protective newspaper to help safeguard your book during transit.
Will my shipment be tracked?
Tracking is included with most orders. All shipments in the United States and United Kingdom are fully tracked. Select regions in Europe and Canada also include tracking. For Asia and Oceania, tracking availability can be inconsistent. If your order doesn’t arrive and we’re unable to confirm tracking, you’ll be eligible for a refund or replacement upon review.
What if I receive a damaged or defective book?
If you receive a damaged or defective book, please contact us at support@worldasteria.com within seven days of delivery. To help us resolve the issue quickly, include your name, order number, shipping address, date of purchase, date of delivery, and clear photos of both the damaged book and the packaging. Damage is defined as severely ripped pages, significant misprints on the cover or back (such as visible white overhang), a broken spine, or a cracked or warped cover. Normal signs of transit—like minor edge wear, small scuffs, or light corner dings do not qualify as damage. Once reviewed, we’ll issue a full refund or send a replacement at no additional cost.
Can I cancel or refund my order?
You have 72 hours (3 days) from the time of purchase to cancel your order for a refund, applicable only to physical orders. Upon cancellation, a $9.99 digital refund fee will be deducted from your refund, resulting in a partial reimbursement of the original book price (e.g., $39.99 for hardcover edition minus the $9.99 fee). Please note that any digital purchases are non-refundable. We encourage you to review your selection carefully before completing your purchase.
Can I return or exchange my purchase? (Returns Policy)
Refunds, Cancellations, and Modifications Policy:
Once a physical book has been delivered, we do not accept exchanges or returns, and no refunds or replacements will be issued due to change-of-mind requests.
If your order has not yet shipped, you have up to seventy-two (72) hours from the time of purchase to request a modification by contacting us at support@worldasteria.com. Within this window, you may upgrade your order (e.g., from softcover to hardcover) for an additional fee or add eligible value-added items such as enamel pins, bookmarks, or art prints, subject to availability. Downgrades are not permitted; however, you may cancel your order within the same seventy-two (72) hour period. Refunds typically take one (1) to three (3) business days to be processed by your financial institution.
By completing your purchase, you acknowledge and agree that the digital version included with your order is non-refundable. In the event you cancel a physical book order after receiving access to the digital version, a non-refundable digital content fee of $9.99 will be deducted from your refund total. For example, if you cancel a hardcover order priced at $39.99, the resulting refund will be $30.00.
We may update this policy at any time. For full details, view our complete Returns Policy.
Can I share or distribute the e-book?
While we cannot physically prevent the sharing of the digital version of the book, please be aware that if we identify any unauthorized distribution or promotion of our book on websites or other media, we will take legal action to the fullest extent permitted by law. We kindly ask that you keep any sharing limited to personal use and close friends—because, let’s be real, we know we can’t exactly stop you, but don’t put it on Facebook for everyone to see, you know?
Can I adapt the IP to other media?
