The Magician Of Sound Chapter 341

"By the way, what is your plan for this three months holiday? You can choose to not answer." Kai asked Michelle before leaving as the others seemed to be curious as well. Since he had told them he would train with his teacher, he wanted to know about the others as well.
Of course, there was no force to talk about it. If the others had difficulty to say it, they could simply shake their heads.
Michelle thought for a moment and explained. "I don't really have any concrete plans because I don't know how long I can master one thing. For now, I have three objectives. The first is to find my new style with weight oriented. Just like Rapakha said, I didn't really have a powerful offensive ability, so I want to change that by using dance instead. A dance that would let me continuously use two two-handed swords to pressure my opponent.
"The second objective is to increase my control over my shadow that would allow me to get an advantage even in the day. I mean, you can feel it as well, but my control over my shadow is a bit too weak. If I can have them move like me, my offensive power will increase greatly, especially with the current style that I am pursuing.
"As for the last objective, it's still a secret. I don't want to say this one." She stuck her tongue out.
Kai smiled and nodded. "Thank you. I wish you luck in this training and see the stronger you after this training."
"Yep, thank you." Michelle smiled and asked. "What about you?"
Kai thought for a while. "I will be following your style, so there are a few objectives that I want to achieve during this training session. First, I want to create new magic to increase my attack power. As you know, my strongest attack is Vibration Sword, but if I miss it, I need to defend against the enemy's attack because it is my most vulnerable state. Two swords won't cut it this time.
"The second is to beat my teacher. I don't have a big hope for this, but I wish to defeat her at least twenty times out of a hundred matches. Yeah, it's pretty low, but compared to last time, I should be able to do it. My teacher is also improving by the day, so I don't know the result of this training.
"As for my last objective, I simply want to learn more about war and strategy from her, so maybe I will be hopping from one battlefield to another with her to learn this. I don't know if it's possible to raise my rank, but yeah, that's about it." Kai finished his explanation with a smile before looking at Tasha and the others. "How about you guys? Why don't we talk about this while we are at it?"

Tasha and the others hesitated for a second before Tasha chose to tell them.
"Unlike both of you, I don't have a concrete plan for this. For now, I will be improving my Space Magic and Lightning Magic. Probably, one more lightning magic to increase my attack power. After that, I will probably go to the battlefield for one or two months to increase my strength and see what kind of system the military employs.
"I need to do this because I will be graduating one year earlier than you guys, so I need to adjust my schedule to match this. When you come to the army, I will be your greatest support to the point you don't even need to look at your back because I will be the one protecting it." Tasha smiled and gave a thumb up.
"As expected of an elder sister, this is the power, huh." Michelle narrowed her eyes, teasing her.
"Do you want to challenge me, Michelle? I don't mind having a one-on-one when we are back to school."
Michelle shrugged. "Instead of fighting, it's better to see who can contribute more in the last three missions before your graduation."
"Fair enough. We shall settle our grudge in those three missions." Tasha nodded.
"Good enough for me." She shook Tasha's hand while smiling.
"It's my turn, or do you want to go first, Evan?" Ayaka asked.
"I will go first then, so I don't forget about it." He nodded while taking out his device to take a note. "First of all, I am going to the EU Base for this training to train under a poison expert."
"Wait, you are going to the EU Base?" Sofia gasped before remembering a certain person that was known as a poison expert. "Don't tell me, that poison expert in your mouth is madam…"
"Yeah. It's her. The president has talked to her, allowing me to study under her tutelage. Of course, the one that planned all of this was Kai's teacher, Ria Ross. I can't express my gratitude enough for this opportunity since this is a perfect time to explore this new ability of mine. I have heard about the details, so I guess I will be flying with you, Sofia."
"I don't really mind. It's not like I have a private plane for myself." She shrugged. "Are you going to take your woman with you?"
"No. After talking about this with her, she decided to stay in the base to increase her fighting ability. She wasn't sure about this, but she might join the army with her own group to get experiences. So, some of you might find her on the battlefield. When that time comes, please take care of her." Evan bowed his head.

"Don't worry. We are like brothers and sisters with Eagle Group." Kai smiled while patting his shoulder.
"Thank you." He nodded. "In addition, I will be increasing my accuracy during this time, and if possible, I want to use two pistols simultaneously."
"That's a good plan. How about you, Sofia?" Ayaka asked her first since she wanted to go last.
Sofia hesitated for a second and explained. "I have talked to my father regarding this idea. Although he was quite furious because I will waste three months…Ehm, as you already know about my mission in this base… Anyway, I will be increasing my ice ability since I know that I am a bit behind all of you guys. Don't worry, I won't be a burden after this.
"For now, I have a few things prepared such as Ice Magician tutor and military instructor. I will pursue both magic and commanding ability. I won't let Kai handle everything alone, so I will try to increase my ability as a strategist.
"There is one more thing…" She looked down while scratching the back of her head as if she wanted to do something embarrassing. "I will increase my proficiency in my mimicking ability. I might even become the most beautiful woman and sedu—Ahem, never mind. I was too excited, please forget it."
"…" The others were dumbfounded and looked at Kai, who remained silent.
"Listen to me, Captain. This is coming from the love coach, me, Evan." Evan shook Kai's shoulders and gave a thumb up. "Since you are training with your teacher, you should ask more for that medicine that allows you to…Ahem, you know."
Kai twitched his eyebrows and grabbed his hands with his full strength before Evan screamed in pain.
"Ouch, ouch! What are you—" Evan stopped when he saw that Alex was smiling, but that smile was nothing but scary. He fell silent, looked down and apologized. "I am sorry, okay? I won't continue and tease you more."
Kai sighed. "Ugh, I can't say anything other than…Good Luck?"
Michelle and the girls shrugged as if this was something normal. Tasha decided to be the one saying this piece to him. "Just make sure you don't forget that we are sacrificing our heart as well just to accept another person in the family, okay?"
Kai looked down, feeling guilty. Although he didn't say he accepted Sofia, he still gave her a chance.
Sofia looked down and remained silent.
Seeing the awkward situation, Ayaka decided to end this with her objective. "First of all, I will finish the two orders first: Tasha's Special Explosion Arrow and Evan's Explosion Bullet.
"For Tasha, it's a bit complicated because we need to understand her lightning principle and make it compatible with my magic as well. This will take a lot of trials and errors. And I think the cost will be a bit high, so we won't really produce many of them at once since the specialists will make them by hand.
"Different from her, Evan's Explosion Bullets are not that different than the one we have. We can sell the ones we already have, but I guess there is room for improvement, so I will try to form a team to increase their efficiency and other things.
"After that, I will consolidate my power by using heavy-weighted armor all over my body. As Elder Rapakha said, if I fully unleash this potential, my strength won't lose to that of Kai with his." Ayaka pumped her fist. "And I will be joining the army if I have the time. The purpose is similar to Sofia's."
Kai raised his hand to the stomach's level.
The others realized what he wanted to do and put their hands above his hand, stacking up.
"Since we have set our goal, let's meet again three months from now and become stronger than ever. It's time for the lion to sleep and rest, so we can stand back up again brimming with energy."
"Yay!" They raised their hand and cheered.
After that, they came in the car prepared by Nathan as Kai opened the window and talked to Michelle one last time.
"Before we leave, I want to inform you guys that I will be giving you a big present when all of us have succeeded in training, so make sure you don't injure yourself, alright?" Kai smiled, keeping the present mysterious.
Only Sofia knew about this as it was included in their negotiation and knew it was the time to give them.
"Alright, see you later in three months." Kai waved his hand to Michelle as the driver stepped on the gas, slowly leaving the mansion.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic

Reborn as a Dungeon Boss
If anyone were to take my actions, my feats, my influence on the world, and write them down as a story, there would be one point that needs to be raised before all else. This is not a song of redemption. This is not a tale of hope. This is not a parable of goodness. No. Mine is a warning of destruction. Slaughter. Death. For death brought me into this world...and death I shall bring to it. This will be my second attempt at writing a novel. For the fans of my first work, I'm sorry for disappearing for so long...life happened. I will continue that one at some point, but for now I want to try to get back into the groove of writing. Thank you for giving me a chance.
