Kael M. Valbryn

Kael M. Valbryn hails from Binche, Belgium. He grew up with a controller in one hand and a twenty-sided die in the other. An inveterate roleplayer, he has scoured the tables of Dungeons & Dragons and skirted more Total Party Kills than he cares to admit. In real life, his reputation as a multiclassed "thief/merchant" precedes him—a rumor he never bothers to deny.

His unapologetic obsession with statistics and progression naturally led him to a career in video games: he is the Lead Game Designer of Blood Bar Tycoon. His background in business management also provided the striking fiscal logic that fuels The Tithe, his LitRPG series. Because when the System extracts memories the way the State collects taxes, it’s not a coincidence: it’s a ruthless audit.

Today, Kael splits his free time between writing, game design, and leveling up his Strength at the local gym. His experience bar is slowly climbing, and the Tithe hasn't taken a percentage of his squats... yet.
