Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 1035
Advertisement
Sam and the team finished off the Night Demon family. Except for the guy named Davon, the rest of the core members were killed. Davon was throw into the chessboard instead as an insurance plan.
Usually, Sam wouldn't have gone for this unnecessary bloodshed, this time he made the decision, because the Night Demons are formidable foes, for him to just let them be and stay with peace while they are still breathing under his neck.
As for Davon, the outer Deacon of the Five Great sects being his father, he wanted to use him as a hostage if the situation arises where the father manages to catch up with them.
After getting ahold of the family heirloom, Sam went into the underground temple where the whole of the Night Demon family was gathered. Most of them are weak and would take decades before they could become qualified to even think of making trouble for Sam. He let them live, but not without any other plan.
He left the Night Ghost, Tamas, and his specter to handle something which could be called as a ritual for the rest of the Night Demons, which reduces the chances of trouble even more. He walked towards the Hel statue and performed his own ritual with the blood of some Night Demons.
The statue glowed and soon Hel's consciousness took over it, when she saw Sam in front of her, she was stunned, but she quickly recovered and spoke.
"Guess, these people are also trash that couldn't even deal with you?"
"If everyone that couldn't deal with me is trash, then doesn't that make you the biggest trash of all? After all, we met on equal terms face to face." Sam spoke sarcastically.
Hel wanted to yell at him, but she knew it is exactly what Sam wanted and controlled her urge and decided adamantly to not lose her composure, at least in front of Sam. If she did lose it, it is definitely her loss.
"I am not an Idiot like Hou Yi, to fall for your tricks, You cannot disturb me. Anyway, this is just one of the many forces that I have under me. Even if you destroyed all the forces under that list, I would still have forces numbering Dozen times more."
"Of course, that is indeed true. Anyway, I wanted to ask you something. I heard something about the stray planet called Planet Jaman and something happened a few decades ago. People are talking that a goddess is the main reason for it. By any chance are you involved? If you do, what the hell happened for them to talk about that, this many years later."

Hel paused for a moment, even though Sam couldn't see her expression through the statue, he could guess the surprised expression she might have had.
"How do you even know that? Where did you hear about Planet Jaman? It should be impossible for anyone to talk about it."
"It seems like it is really related to you. Anyway, I am not particularly interested in this situation, but when I saw the fear in the person that spoke to me, I couldn't help but become curious a bit. Okay then, I will take my leave."
"No, wait. Who did you hear it from?"
"I destroyed an Elven Branch around two years ago. The head of the elven branch who was on verge of death spoke about this in his last moments. He wanted to make a confession before he died, he wanted someone to know the sins he committed, so he asked me to listen to him. I was in a bit of a good mood.
So, yeah, I listened to him and the first thought that came to my mind, when he thought of God and Goddess are Hou Yi and You. He didn't really go into details, he just said that whatever sins he committed, he only shares the blame for half of them and the other half goes to you two."
Hel began to think nervously, but suddenly, she grew a faint suspicion and looked at Sam.
"Why are you telling me this? Is this another one of your plans?"
"Not really, I want you to stay alive by the time I come there. I would kill your ass myself. Otherwise, there is no way my soul would have any piece if you died before that. From the looks of it, you protected the secret carefully, so do take care and wash your neck cleanly every day until I visit you. Goodbye."
With that, Sam took a step back and threw a small liquid cell at the statue making it explode and collapse. The night demon family task is finished. At least his part of it.
Night Ghost, Tamas, and Specter are trying to erase the memory of the attack from their minds.
Even though Sam wouldn't mind his identity being revealed, this time they dealt with a power that has some connections and relations with even higher powers, if things go down that way, he would be in trouble. He needs at least a few years before he could deal with them.

As for the citizens, he couldn't do anything about it, but at least they don't know that Sam is the primary suspect.
As for why he didn't do the same with the core members, there is a high chance of their recovery of memory because of their current cultivation level. Which is not exactly a chance that Sam is willing to take at the moment.
The issues were settled, it is time to distribute the loot. They stayed there for a few hours and collected all the loot that they can. Loot from the places under the Night Demon family control.
Sam needs spirit stones more than ever. The team went for the remaining resources.
After the main loot was distributed, they moved to the other loot which needs to be distributed between Sam and Night Ghost.
The loot of souls. Night Ghost, even took the help of Tamas and Specter to loot the souls from the dead and stored them in a special container Sam made. A container made of the empty spirit stone material.
After the team finished their job there and left the estate, they went to a lower level realm that was a bit far away and rested there while Sam looked through the souls he collected, he didn't collect every soul, he looked through them specifically to collect the souls of the people who have any form of experience in the four major professions. As for identifying them, he just looked through the records of the family that he stole.
Night Ghost took some souls that are useful for his growth and then left the choice to the specter who also devoured many souls that are not useful for any of them.
As for Tamas who also contributed to this, he didn't want any souls at the moment, since he is a necromancer and is a bit picky at what souls he would use for his purpose
They directly went into some special container that was inscribed with a bunch of formations.
While Sam is busy examining his loot, the news about the Night Demon family spread far and wide like a wildfire.
Even Davon's friends who are a few realms away from the Night Demon realm got the news.
They already expected this but they still couldn't help but feel surprised by this. This happened faster than expected. They decided to take a look at the Night Demon family and see if they can find any clues to give them to Davon's father.
This time the young man in the cloak who didn't go the first time also joined.
They reached the estate and saw the remains of the Battle, the low-level members of the Night Demon family are cleaning up the battle area which was full of corpses.
"This is worse than I imagined and way faster too. It is almost like the other party waited solely for us to leave this place and attacked as soon as we moved."
Dark elf muttered to himself and looked at the cloaked young man who is more focused on the wreckage of the battle.
He wanted to ask about the person who did this, but held back and went to meet with the Night demon family member with the rest of his friends.
They asked some questions, but Night Demons cannot remember any faces or names of anything related to battle. They could only leave helplessly.
"We need to finish the mission faster and report this to Davon's father." They decided and went back to do their work.
While things are like this here, somewhere far away in the higher heavenly realms, some gods are meeting and it was called by Hel herself.
The remaining two gods are actually Indra and Hou Yi.
"Why did you call us so suddenly?" Hou wasn't really excited about the call and even Indra showed signs of annoyance."
"The Jaman Planet."
She said these words and the remaining two widened their eyes in disbelief at what they heard.

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.
