Armipotent Chapter 49
Advertisement
"Hiii!!!" Few people were shrieking in fear at the sight of the gruesome scene. The shriek livens up the atmosphere.
Tao Ming, the fourth member of the strongest party was frightened as he witnessed all his friends killed.
His body shook and his hand trembled fiercely. Sweat soaked his back and his face. He felt his energy drained from his body.
'I have to leave now! I have to leave now!' Tao Ming thought about leaving. He did not want to get killed.
As for why he was afraid, it was because challenging Tang Shaoyang was his idea. After gaining levels smoothly, he thought they could take the base forcefully from the current Boss.
It took him a week to persuade Gao Chonglin. The guy was afraid at first but under his persuasion and the lewd guy's encouragement. Gao Chonglin took the bait and agreed to challenge Tang Shaoyang.
Tao Ming thought they would be the Boss and they could do anything they wanted to. Women, food, and drinks, everything.
But he overlooked something, Tang Shaoyang insane strength. He thought the difference would not be that big and they could win if it was four against one.
Everything failed and he had to leave the base now. If Tang Shaoyang found out it was his idea to take the base. He would be dead for sure.
Just as he wanted to leave the crowd, Tang Shaoyang's voice rang.
"Hey, you! Stop there!" Tang Shaoyang pointed to Tao Ming.
The latter had his eyes widened in fear. Without a second thought, he turned around. He wanted to escape, but the place was crowded, making Tao Ming harder to escape.
"I will bring him to you, Boss!" Zhao Zhong said while hitting his chest. Just as he wanted to chase the guy, Lu An made his move.
The young Lu An was much faster than Zhao Zhong. In no time, Lu An caught the guy and dragged him to Tang Shaoyang.
Tao Ming did not resist. As soon as he was thrown in front of Heero, he kowtowed, "I am sorry, Boss! Please don't kill me! I promise this is the last time. Please don't…"

Tao Ming's voice stopped abruptly as Tang Shaoyang swung his battle-ax at the guy's neck.
The guy had admitted his deeds, so he delivered the punishment.
Even Zhao Zhong flinched and took a few steps back. Zhang Mengyao was paled at Tang Shaoyang's ruthless action. This was her first time to see Tang Shaoyang's ruthless side.
Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang turned around to the people who surrounded him. Even after killing two people, he was still grinning.
"I am accepting your challenge anytime! I am giving you all a chance to replace me to be the Boss! The strong rules the land and the weak follow the strong! But…"
"You have to pay an equal price in order to challenge me!"
Tang Shaoyang then showed the four cold bodies to the people and continued.
"This is the price you have to pay when you fail in the challenge! If you killed me, you will get the reward, the advanced base!"
"I doubt that any of you can win me though!" He grinned ear to ear and turned around.
He circled his hand on Zhang Mengyao's waist and pulled her into the base. The girl was still shocked, but it was just a matter of time for her to witness such a scene.
After all, the main obstacle to establishing his dreamed empire was still the people, not the beast or the zombies. Getting used to killing each other sooner might be bringing an advantage to her.
Lu An and Zhao Zhong followed closely behind.
"Do you have to kill him?" Zhang Mengyao asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I have to! This is how chaotic the base is. If I spare his life, later more people will be coming to me and challenge me! After all, they have nothing to lose and will get something big if they win!"
"I can't let such a thing happen in my base. Moreover, you have to get used to such a thing, as more people would come toward us to prevent our Empire from growing big!"
Tang Shaoyang got closer to her ear and whispered, "Our main obstacle is human, not the beast or the zombie!"

After all, not only Tang Shaoyang who had an idea to be an emperor or a leader of a big faction. More people will establish their faction and war between people was inevitable.
"So Dear~ please set the military system before more people join our Empire. With proper rules and systems, I don't need to kill everyone who does a foolish thing. We can punish them based on the systems instead!"
"Mnnn, I will come up with the basics of the military system by tonight, but I need more people to set the rules for the base!" Zhang Mengyao nodded her head.
Even though the way he did it was hard to accept or more likely she was slow in adapting to the current world. What Tang Shaoyang did was understandable in a way.
There was no law protecting the people, there was no police who would protect the people or even catch the murderer. In such a fallen world, only the strong dictate the people.
So setting the order was a must to set a proper empire. Tang Shaoyang also did not want to mindlessly kill the people. His aim was an empire with him as the emperor.
"You can talk about that to Li Na. She has all the data and maybe you can find a few useful ones to help you!" Tang Shaoyang nodded and directed her to Li Na.
She worked as the clerk, making all the records for the newcomer. Such as name and occupation before the world turned upside down.
When they reached the counter in the lobby, Tang Shaoyang introduced Zhang Mengyao to Li Na who was currently talking with the other two cute girls. The two girls were helping Li Na with her works under his consent.
"She's Li Na. You can ask anything you need to her!"
Zhang Mengyao nodded and introduced herself, "Hello, I am Zhang Mengyao, "
"Hello~ I am Li Na, " Li Na's eyes darted around Zhang Mengyao and Tang Shaoyang.
Both looked intimate and it was no longer a secret that Zhang Mengyao was the third person after Lu An who had access to the Boss' floor. She was Tang Shaoyang's woman.
Li Na looked at the face down to Zhang Mengyao's voluptuous body. She was superior in any way, her charm also had matured.
The thing she had was the fact she was younger.
With a complex look plastered on her face, Li Na spoke, "If you need anything, you can come to me~, "
"I will!" Zhang Mengyao nodded.
Tang Shaoyang tossed his backpack to Zhao Zhong.
"Get this thing to the kitchen and wait for my call tomorrow!"
Zhao Zhong stood up for him before, so the guy would be rewarded. Carrot and stick principle, it was the way he worked.
Zhao Zhong also grinned after hearing that.
"I am going up…" Tang Shaoyang whispered to Zhang Mengyao, "I can't hold it any longer…"
After that, he headed toward the elevator, leaving the blushing Zhang Mengyao. She was still shy as he talked about it before many people.
Inside the elevator
"Anything special during my absence?" Tang Shaoyang asked Origin.
"Nothing special, but I have a few candidates with potential!"
"Mnn… Give the list to Mengyao later, she will decide everything!" He appointed the girl as his empire commander hence he gave her his trust, fully.
As soon as he entered his room, Tang Shaoyang headed to the bathroom. He was missing a hot bath.
He washed his body with a shower and entered the small pool filled with hot water.
After ten minutes of relaxing, he heard the door was opened. Only Zhang Mengyao had access to his room.
He stood up and rushed to the door. The moment Mengyao was about to pass the door, he pulled her in.
The girls could not even scream as her mouth was blocked by Tang Shaoyang's. Noticing it was her man, Zhang Mengyao closed her eyes and returned the kiss.
In no time, all the clothes were gone and after five minutes of foreplay, the bathroom was filled by Zhang Mengyao's blissful moan.

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.
