Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 270
Advertisement
And that was what Klein was planning to do.
But there was no doubt that the process was very complicated.
Klein conjured the tornado again. This time, he didn't throw it out.
Instead, he placed it in his palm and carefully felt the wind elements in his hand.
This was the first time Klein had done so.
For a long time, he had treated magic and elements as a means to deal with his enemies.
What he sought was the strength of magic, so he didn't know anything about the mysterious existence of magic.
It was just like reading a book. Most people who only read books wouldn't be able to see the things behind the book.
They wouldn't be able to see the meaning of the author writing the book.
This was reading a dead book.
In order to understand a book, the fastest way to understand the meaning of the reader writing the book was to read the contents of the text, to understand the intentions of the author, and to understand the contents of the book.
Only by studying it carefully could he find the knowledge he wanted.
This was something Klein hadn't noticed before.
At this moment, he was feeling the tornado in his palm with utmost devotion.
The tornado in his palm was very gentle, completely different from the tornado that stirred everything around him.
The feeling in his palm was even more wonderful.
The tornado was soft and gentle, like a naughty child drawing circles in your palm.
Klein felt it carefully.
He even treated the tornado in his palm as his own child.
At this moment, his gaze was gentle, joyful, happy, and blissful.
Pfft!
Klein was too engrossed in it, causing the tornado to lose its mana supply and suddenly stop, dissipating in Klein's palm.
Feeling the tornado leave, Klein couldn't help but reveal a hint of reluctance.

That's right.
He had feelings for the tornado in his palm.
It was as though he was really a life, his own child.
He had been prepared to take good care of it, but he didn't expect that his carelessness would cause it to dissipate.
Klein blamed himself. Feeling the loss of touch from the tornado at his fingertip, Klein couldn't help but use his hand to scoop it up.
It was fine if he didn't scoop it up, but the loss of the tornado was even faster after he scooped it up.
In a short moment, more than half of it had dissipated.
Klein couldn't help but sigh as he prepared to condense it again.
But suddenly, Klein felt something.
Therefore, he carefully thought about it and probed further. But no matter how hard he tried, the feeling seemed to slowly leave.
Klein had a guess that the feeling was very important. It was very likely the key to him breaking through wind magic.
However, no matter how he thought about it or studied it, he couldn't see anything concrete.
Klein had no choice but to cast the spell again and repeat the process.
Once...
Twice...
Three times...
Ten times...
A hundred times...
...
Klein didn't know how long he had tried.
His sleeves had long been torn by the wind.
His palms were red as well.
But he still couldn't grasp that sliver of inspiration.
"What is it?" Klein muttered.
'After so many times, did I go in the wrong direction?'
'But that's not right. Why would I have that feeling the first time?'
'Could it really be an illusion?'
Time passed by slowly.
The battlefield was silent.
Other than the commotion caused by the wind magic that Klein constantly cast, the platinum treasure chest in the distance was constantly emitting light.
The Rogue Archer in the cave seemed to have really disappeared. He didn't make a move.

Klein continued experimenting.
He didn't know how many times he had experimented.
He only felt that the magic in his body was lacking.
It wasn't enough for him to continue casting the tornado.
Feeling the lack of magic in his body, Klein couldn't help but shake his head. As expected, it had nothing to do with him!
It seemed like after this, he still had to look for magic that he could practice.
It was too difficult to research on his own.
Perhaps he could buy a true record of magic from the Gnomes next time.
The world of the catacombs should be extremely old, and there should be such basic spells.
Klein sighed and dispersed the magic in his hands, preparing to meditate to recover his mana.
But suddenly, an inspiration came to him.
At that moment, Klein felt as though he was blessed by the goddess of luck, and the question in his mind suddenly clicked open!
Looking at the answer that had been clicked open, Klein gulped and couldn't help but say, "So I've been going in the wrong direction."
"The relationship between magic and the elements isn't master and servant, nor is it a friend, nor is it related. It's mutual influence."
That's right, mutual influence. When wind magic was born, it was Klein who used the magic in his body to influence the elemental powers of heaven and earth. After it was born, it turned into elemental powers to influence magic
"That is to say, no matter how much mana I release, it's the core to mobilize the elements of heaven and earth."
"This core is not only the key to maintaining the stability of the tornado, it's also the key to ensuring how big the tornado can be."
With this in mind, Klein completely understood.
Then, he couldn't help but begin the test.
The first time, it failed. There were no changes.
The second time, he failed. There were no changes.
The third time...
The fourth time...
The tenth time...
...
Other than restoring his magic, Klein had been trying tirelessly.
Understanding theory wasn't enough to allow magic to take shape quickly.
This was because wanting a tornado to become an existence that could destroy the world was a long process.
It included the output of the magic in his body, the control of the tornado after the output, and the way the tornado drew in the elements of the world after casting the spell.
This was a very serious matter. The slightest difference could lead to a complete failure.
Therefore, Klein kept trying.
...
If Klein could see the Rogue Archer, he would definitely be more careful in dealing with it.
The Rogue Archer, who hadn't shown himself, had already made up his mind that he wouldn't take the initiative to attack.
The person in front of him was too terrifying.
He was the strongest existence it had ever seen among so many people.
The rest of the humans, let alone counterattacking, couldn't even withstand the first wave of attacks from five people.
And the human in front of him had actually broken the combo of killing people and successfully killed the Armored Scorpion and Harpy.
If it wasn't for his cleverness, he might have died at the hands of the other party.
He didn't doubt this at all. Then, he looked at the Endless Sword in Klein's hands.
It was the weapon that made his scalp tingle!
But the human in front of him was supposed to pursue the victory, but he suddenly began researching magic!
What was he thinking?
How could an ordinary person be able to study something as mysterious as magic?
It was simply a dream!

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.

Shadow Emperor
This is one of my side projects. It is about a young innocent boy, who has some mishap happening at the date of his birth. Through circumstances he is forced to strenghten himself. His fate was decided long ago, and this story is just the journey to his fate. It is very xianxia/xuanhuan-esque, with some Western elements mixed in. It is a cultivation novel, and it will have gore, sexual depictions, but to an extent. Most of the time it is either fun or exciting, as you will see an innocent boy's rise to the Emperor of the Shadows..
