name:celestial devouring wyrm
tier:?????
description: an unheard of successful hybrid of a celestial wyrm and a devouring wyrm that has all the best traits of its parents without any of the negative ones. like most wyrms this creature is practically harmless in its infancy needing to be cared for and protected , however upon reaching adolescence it becomes as powerful as a tier 8 demon beast.
nicks eyes grew wide as he read the description before he closed it and looked at the little wyrm who was playing with the little specks of energy that were in the air. nick was having trouble associating this catlike wyrm with a tier 8 demon beast no matter how hard he tried. nick knew about beast contracts but decided against it seeing how trusting the little creature was of him. what nick didn't know was that the wyrm imprinted on him when it was born so it simply saw him as its parent and that was the only reason it trusted him at so much.
'what should i name this little thing but before that what is it gender?' nick thought before the system told him it was male. nick looked over at the wyrmling with a grin while waving his hand to get its attention which he did. the little thing looked up at nick with its big crimson eyes curiously. "from now on your name is azdra" nick said to which the little thing just c.o.c.ked its head to the side adorably. azdra then started to mewl , yes that's right mewl like a cat when it wants food. nick was stunned at the sound since he had no idea that infant wyrms voices only got to the deep sound he expected as they grew older. quickly recovering from his shock nick was presented with a problem he had no idea what to feed the little monster thankfully the system had mercy on him and told him that he needed to grind up meat into a paste to feed the wyrm.

nick was lucky that he still had some demon beast corpses that he himself had planned on eating so he ground up the meat from a boar type beast before putting it into a large bowl on the ground which azdra immediately pounced on and tore into voraciously. azdra finished the bowl quickly before yawning and climbing up nick and curling up around his neck and going to sleep while nick looked like he had an odd scarf on. nick could only shake his head at azdras choice of resting place before he went to cultivate quietly.
the next day nick woke from his cultivation state fed azdra and began practicing his skills in order to fuse them together. azdra tried to copy nick but had problems since his body was different than nicks so after failing several times he gave up and started playing with the specks of light in order to entertain himself , well that is until jakob came out of his room. azdra immediately hissed at jakob while fanning out his winged limbs threateningly which caused jakob to stop but not from fear but surprise since he had never seen nick with any sort of pet before. azdra realized that jakob wasn't afraid of him when jakob started to walk over towards nick which resulted in the misunderstanding that jakob was trying to attack his parent. azdra launched itself at jakob which stunned him long enough that azdra latched onto jakobs face where he started to try and bite and claw jakob viciously. In fact jakob felt little more than an itch from the wyrms attack so he simply grabbed the little reptile off of his face gently but with enough force that azdra couldn't resist coming off and being held in jakobs hand which azdra started trying to chew on but was having no affect. jakob expressionlessly walked up to nick who was to focused on his training to notice what had happened. "i'm going to assume this belongs to you." jakob said while holding out the hand that azdra was being held in and was chewing on. nick snapped out of the state of mind he was in and looked over at jakob but froze when he saw azdra chewing on jakobs hand aggressively.

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.
