The Wizard World Chapter 632 Ancestor 1
On the gray roof above, there were countless stone spikes, from which light green liquid was dripping down, turning into small pools on the ground.
On the endless plain below the roof, a tall tree was moving slowly on the ground. The roots were the tree’s feet, and it was moving without any noise for some reason. The area under the tree looked like a swamp. All the soil and stones that touched the roots were turned into muddy liquid.
The tree was more than 30 meters tall and its trunk was white. It almost looked like a statue made of white stone. There was also a humongous human face on the trunk of the tree, which had a disturbed, if not frightened, expression on it.
Angele was sitting on a branch of the tree with a blank expression on his face. He was releasing intense red light through his body, and it looked like there were red fish swimming in the red light.
The white tree stopped moving and said, “Sir, you can find the Mother Tree in the front… This is all I can do for you…
“The Mother Tree’s roots are in the front; if I touch her roots, I’ll be turned into her life energy…”
Angele jumped off the branch and landed on the ground without any problem. The roof was getting lower and lower. His head was around 100 meters away from the roof.
He checked the area ahead and found a deep dark fissure on the ground which blocked his path.
There was sticky dark-green liquid spurting out of the fissure like a fountain. The sticky liquid landed on the ground and painted everything green. Some of the green liquid solidified and formed a substance that looked like tinted glass.
*WOO*
He inhaled deeply and smelled something sour.
“Alright, come down.”
Mogo jumped off the white tree and suggested politely, “Let me clear the path for you, Master.”
“Don’t worry about it.” Angele pursed his lips into a sneer. “We’re right in front of the Mother Tree; I can confront her alone. You can just stay here.”
Angele already started advancing before Mogo responded. It took him several minutes to reach the edge of the fissure.
*BOOM*
A strange vibrating noise came from the fissure and the whole place started transforming. The fissure melted and turned into a large green crystal as a humongous hand appeared in the darkness.
The hand was around ten meters wide; it grabbed the other side of the fissure, turning into a bridge.
Angele smiled and stepped on the green hand. He walked to the center of the hand’s palm and stopped moving.

On the other side of the fissure was an endless green plain, but it seemed like Angele was not going to advance.
Raising his hand, he looked at the roof.
*BOOM*
With a loud noise, the green hand started lifting Angele up. When he was about to hit the roof, a green hole appeared, just big enough to let Angele through.
Angele applied some force to his feet and charged into the hole.
*Blop*
It felt like jumping into a pool full of sticky glowing green liquid.
Angele’s body was surrounded by a red light barrier, which kept the green liquid away from him. He looked like a red ball that was moving upward.
“I know why you’re here…” A neutral voice echoed in front of Angele.
“Huh?” Angele glanced around but did not see anyone around.
“Are you the Mother Tree? And you said you know my purpose? Tell me about it.”
“Sorry, you’re currently in my vein. My body is too big for you and I can’t shrink myself. In other words, the green liquid around you is my blood. I think you’re here for the mark on your back, right?” Mother Tree sounded emotionless. “I could feel the evil power from the mark when you entered my vein.”
“I heard that you’re the most knowledgeable being here. Do you have a solution to my problem?” Angele went straight to the point.
Mother Tree remained silent for a while.
“Do you know why I didn’t want you to enter the underground world? I thought you were going to die and didn’t want to fight against another ancestor. However—”
“There are many unexpectable things here but I don’t want to waste my time. You just need to tell me if you can solve my problem,” Angele interrupted.
“First, I need to figure our whose mark it is before I can do anything…” Mother Tree hesitated for a second and continued, “Based on the energy wave the mark is releasing… It’s a special mark from Sha, the Lord of the Eternal Night.
“Lord of the Eternal Night? Mark of Sha? Is there anything you can do?” Angele’s brow furrowed. He had no idea what the tree was talking about. “Also, can you tell me about this lord?”
“Lord of the Eternal Night is an ancestor from the ancient times, living around the wizard world. She created the Night Realm; her power came from the darkness. She was invited by the strong wizards of the wizard world and helped them fight the Light Ancestor. She was severely injured after the battle and disappeared with the Night Realm. No one could communicate with the Night Realm after that; I think the realm is already destroyed. Mark of Sha is not a punishment. It’s like a realm guardian’s mark. With the mark on your body, you can only move freely in the Night Realm. When you’re in other realms, you’ll lose the ability to fly or teleport as time passes.”

“Interesting… So, the Lord of the Eternal Night wanted me to become a realm guardian?” Angele concluded, though he was not sure if Mother Tree was telling the truth. “What can I do to remove the mark?”
“It’s simple. You need another ancestor to transfer the mark for you. Also, you can go to Guardian Cinderella. She’s familiar with ancestors’ marks and can handle most of them. Also, I can temporarily help you with your movement.”
“Sure, what do you want as a payment?”
“I found something I need from your storage device. If you can give that to me, I’ll be grateful.”
Angele nodded and untied the mirror from his belt. He threw the mirror into the air.
The mirror rotated in the air and poured a lot of random things out.
“Go find the item you need. Here are the items that I can give to you as a payment.” Angele dumped all the random items he collected over the years; he only kept the rare bones and weapons.
Mother Tree stopped talking. She coated the items with some special green liquid, which turned into a bubble. Several minutes later, Mother Tree found something that made her feel excited. It seemed like she got what she needed.
Angele was not concerned at all. He did not need any of these items. There might be a hidden treasure among them, but he did not care.
The green bubble returned to Angele with a lot of random items inside. Angele checked the items and noticed that a piece of green crystal was missing. The crystal piece was from the green jade greatsword he’d used in the intestine of the world.
“You can have all of them if you want.” Some red light flashed in his hand. “Let’s sign the contract. In the name of chaos.”
“Sure,” Mother Tree responded quickly. “I would have invited you to my world had I known you had such a rare item.”
“It’s okay.” Angele waved his hand and a red scroll appeared in front of him. “In the name of chaos, we agree that…”
He listed the rules and what the Mother Tree needed to do for him in the contract.
Angele slowly pressed on the scroll after finishing the word.
A translucent arm appeared on the other side of the scroll and also pressed on it.
Their palms touched through the scroll while leaving their handprints on it.
Angele exhaled slowly after lowering his hand, and the red light disappeared.
“Alright, I removed the remaining mentality wave from the crystal piece. You should help me with the mark now.”
“Of course.” Mother Tree chuckled.
The green liquid around Angele’s body turned into rays of green light, rotating around him at impressive speed.
The green rays were moving faster and faster. They almost turned into a light circle.
Some purple light dots started coming out of Angele’s body and flew into the green light circles after moving through the red light barrier. The purple light dots screamed after entering the green light circles.
It took a while for all the purple light dots to leave Angele’s body.
Angele felt relaxed after everything was done. His sight fell upon the floating scroll.
*CHI*
The scroll suddenly broke into shreds of paper and disappeared into the liquid. It meant that the trade had been completed.
Angele was satisfied with the result.
“I’ve temporarily removed the negative effects for you, but you need to find Guardian Cinderella within five years if possible. The negative effect won’t impact you during this period but it’ll get worse after that.”
“A guardian, huh?” Angele nodded. If one was strong enough, he could easily find the realm guardians.
Angele just needed to do something to break the balance and the guardians would come to him.
“Also, I can send you and your friends to the exit of the underground world through my roots,” Mother Tree added.
“Sounds good.” Angele knew what she was worried about.
She did not say anything else.
Several hours later…
By the exit of the underground world, a brown root that was over ten meters long appeared in front of a black stone gate. The root cracked and released some green liquid. Angele, Mogo, and Lance were covered in the liquid. They landed on the ground with a red light barrier around them.
“That was fast…” Angele smiled. “Alright, let’s return to the surface.”
“Master, even the Mother Tree respects your power…” Mogo thought Angele and the tree had a fight.
Lance was staring at Angele anxiously. She was scared that Angele might take her to the surface. Lance took two steps back and was ready to escape.
Lance disappeared into the air when Angele was not paying attention to her.
She ran for a while and sighed with relief after she noticed that Angele was not going after her.
Angele did not care that the night elf escaped. He stepped into the damaged stone gate and disappeared into the darkness with Mogo.

Eight
His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year old body on another world. The first book focuses on Eight's survival on a dangerous new world. If you're a fan of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet, you'll enjoy it. The story is one of discovery, bushcraft, and finding one's way. Note that, while this is very much LitRPG, progression is slow, and Eight spends much of the first book alone. The second book recounts what happens when Eight and friends head east to the village of Voorhei. Expect a blend of fantasy adventure, ghost story, cozy mystery, and family drama. Books one and two make a complete story, while book 3 has just gotten underway.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.

The Paradox Prophecy
Thousands of years ago, an alliance between the races of Idoras and the mighty dragons, saved the world from destruction. After many years of relative peace, a dark evil emerges. Aalya, a young girl from the small kingdom of Avani, meets the young Prince Alexandar. When chaos reigns on their peaceful home, Aalya and her friends gear up for an adventure that could very well determine the fate of all life in Idoras. I haven't completely fleshed out the prophecy yet but I wanted to include it because it is an important part of the story. I have decided it would be better to spend some time figuring out the world I am creating and work out all the kinks in the story. I have done a lot of editing in the first seven chapters already. For now, updating will be scarce. I will post all of part one once I am happy with what I have written. I will leave what I have up, but please let me know what you think. I do not own the image I used for the cover.

The Tales of the Revolution
Synopsis: As a scholar of science and technology, Joseph Algorith was a man who pursued his dream in unrealistic methods, using his intelligence to surpass all hurdles in this Galactic Era. He was an idealist that combined his thoughts with realism. However, unbeknownst to him in how it had happened, he had gained the opportunity to research a new system, a massive planetoid shrouded in mysteries and magic. However, to fully realize his ambition and creativity, he must save the human race of this magical world, filled with different races and monsters. “The Heavens had forced me, so I shall propose and never will be disposed of.”- Joseph Algorith Spoiler: Basically, he is reborn, with his knowledge as a scientist of the galactic era, into a new world with magic and aura powers. In this world, humans are part of the 7 major races, but two (or three) are planning to enslave them, while the others are watching on the sidelines. His plans are to develop modern weapons to strengthen the human nation because the mages and aura users aren't immortal or have steel flesh even as they get more power to the point they can deal damage of a howitzer using special moves. Though it doesn't mean that there aren't magical armours (and other things)... Extra: I'm not sure if romance will be in this. Depends on whether you, the readers, would like it or how I develop the story further. And there won't be an exact release schedule as I prefer my pace of writing and because I'm busy in life (school and extra activities, FML). If you find any mistakes, please remind me. Also, my writing style and the pace of the story may be slower than other stories you might have read on this website. Though I may make some revisions with the story, considering my editor's thoughts. Also, my story has some concepts from RTW in terms of the idea of creating weapons in a magical world, however, the plot is mine. After reading, tell me, what do you think of the beginning? What do you think your rating would be.?If possible, comment down below anything that could help me improve or to express your thoughts. Lastly, please NO COPY AND PASTE!
