Chapter 124: Rotas Battleship (1)
The Rotas Battleship .
That’s what Kang-jun decided to call Rotas, the new member of his household, while he existed in the form of a ship .
After the Top Demon King Scolaris died, the 300 lord level monsters under his command also became Kang-jun’s .
There were 40 advanced lords and the remaining 260 people were low to intermediate level lords .
Kang-jun distributed them appropriately to Rotas and Cerato .
In the old days when Kang-jun’s level was low, he would accept people with good abilities into his household, but that time had passed .
He was staring at the realm of transcendence, so only those with the power of a demon king would enter Kang-jun’s household .
Therefore, it was very lucky that Germuz, the ogre, and Rodiam had joined in the early days .
Even now, Kang-jun looked at all his household members like family .
The interior of the Rotas Battleship wasn’t much different from a regular ship . The difference was that the interior could be changed at any time .
The inside was decorated with all types of precious gems from the dimensional system and it was enough to make a palace look shabby .
Particularly, in every cabin, treasures were piled up like mountains .
Scolaris was a notorious pirata that had stolen from all sorts of travelers and dimensional worlds . Of course, there were many things that he had gotten directly from monsters .
When Cerato joined, the condition he made had been that Kang-jun wouldn’t take any of his assets .
However, the treasures inside Rotas were spoils that belonged to Kang-jun after killing Scolaris:
320,678,098 nodes;
328,892 small moonstones;
179,992 large moonstones;
5,821 rare grade equipment;
1,202 hero grade equipment;
282 legend grade equipment;
More than 400,000 essences;
And other miscellaneous treasures .
Of course, 99% of the treasures consisted of miscellaneous items .
There were strange materials, paintings, books, jewels and so on, so he would look through them later .
Of course, it had a Shelter of Pleasure that Cerato was so proud of, but on a much larger scale . There was also a private resting place for Kang-jun .
With the exception of the miscellaneous treasures, Rotas reported everything else to him separately .
There was a huge 320 million nodes .
There was 10 times the number of nodes Kang-jun had at his headquarters in the Delta building .
Furthermore, the moonstones were a big hit!
It was understandable since this was the property of someone who called himself the Top Demon King .
Kang-jun placed all the moonstones into his inventory .
In the case of the moonstones, they were easy to store because they only occupied one space each, regardless of the number of small and large moonstones .

There were also the essences .
After becoming a supreme sovereign, the efficiency of his inventory had increased and he could keep the same type of items into the same inventory spot, just like with the moonstones .
Next up were various equipment .
Although the equipment were separated, it didn’t matter to Kang-jun .
This was because only myth grade items attracted Kang-jun’s attention now .
Even then, he only wanted myth grade equipment with an ego in them .
‘I can replace the equipment of my subordinates . ’
If he sent it to the headquarters in Earth Hwanmong, Keirun would distribute the equipment . The power of his base would be strengthened .
Then Kang-jun’s eyes turned to a corner of the warehouse .
There were shelves that contained many miscellaneous treasures .
There were approximately 300 skillbooks shining with a colourful light .
[Dark Fire Explosion]
[Skyshatter Magic Bow]
[Demonic Dragon Spear Technique]
[Dark Brimstone Fire]
······
"What is this? Did he put all the skills he learnt together?”
“It is Scolaris’ collection wall . In particular, he gathered rare skillbooks . There are many skillbooks left untouched just for the sake of collecting them . ”
No matter where he was on the ship, Kang-jun could ask a question and Rotas would reply . It was comfortable since the ship itself was Rotas .
"This is a great hobby . ”
Kang-jun was delighted . However, he had no intention of collecting these skillbooks .
It was better to learn it all instead of saving it for the collection!
‘I should learn all of this . ’
Kang-jun pulled down the skillbooks one by one .
[Dark Fire Explosion has been learnt . ]
[Advanced fire knowledge has been acquired . ]
After learning Dark Fire Explosion, a lot of things about magic started making sense .
This was because he had gained knowledge . It felt like he had been learning fire magic for a long time .
Kang-jun continued to learn skills from the skillbooks .
[Dark Brimstone Fire has been learnt . ]
[Supreme knowledge of fire magic has been acquired . ]
Supreme fire magic! The so-called Hellfire was the strongest magic attack . Due to this, he gained supreme knowledge .
[Skyshatter Magic Bow has been learnt . ]
[Supreme knowledge about archery has been acquired . ]
[Demonic Dragon Spear Technique has been learnt . ]
[Supreme knowledge about the spear has been acquired . ]
[Ultimate Prison Shield has been learnt . ]
[Supreme knowledge of freezing magic has been acquired . ]
In this way, he learnt approximately 300 skills .
Among them, there was the Aura of Fire skill .
After gaining earth, wind, water and darkness, the fifth one acquired was fire .
[Aura of Fire]
-Additional fire property damage will be added to all attacks .
-Magic damage will increase when using Aura of Fire .
Advertisement
-Consumes five black magic energy .
-Duration is 10 minutes
-Wind, fire, water and earth can’t be used simultaneously .
It temporarily boosted magic damage .
The most powerful attack magic were those with the fire attribute and this was enhanced even further with Aura of Fire .
Moreover, Kang-jun wasn’t bound by limitations of a skill .
In other words, if Kang-jun decided to use Aura of Fire, he could unleash Aura of Water and Aura of Wind simultaneously .
Kang-jun was near transcendence, so he was free from those constraints .
‘I finally learnt all the skills . ’
There were only four books left .
They were the Auras of Earth, Water, Wind and Darkness that Kang-jun had learnt previously . He would leave them behind for decoration .
‘By the way, I don’t know if I will even use these skills . ’
In fact, Kang-jun only learnt them for self-satisfaction since there was no difference in his attack power .
His abilities had already exceeded the power of the skills he just learnt .
Still, it was something to be proud of .
Particularly, it was good to get a lot of knowledge .
Studying this knowledge would help expand Kang-jun’s horizons and assist in reaching the realm of transcendence .
Additionally, the various miscellaneous abilities would be a great help to improve the conveniences of everyday life .
For example, the magic circle .
Previously, it had only been possible to use Return Teleport . However, now he was able to draw portals .
Of course, it wasn’t possible in the dimensional sea . However, it would be very exciting for worlds like Earth and Freya Island .
While Kang-jun was learning the skills, Rotas was looking for piratas near Earth Hwanmong .
Most piratas avoided Scolaris, so Rotas needed to figure out where they were hiding .
Most of the piratas were demon kings .
Of course, there were also piratas among dragons and other species, but they weren’t seen near Earth Hwanmong .
So, Kang-jun found 13 pirata demon kings .
Among them, seven were killed by Kang-jun while the other six joined his household .
No matter how high Kang-jun’s charisma was, not everyone wanted to join him .
There were demon kings who cursed and ridiculed Kang-jun .
The ending of those guys was obvious .
Kang-jun never asked twice .
The seven dead demon kings dropped Dimensional Pieces, hearts and various myth grade weapons .
Their ships were absorbed by Rotas .
Rotas’hull became even bigger .
Additionally, the lord grade households they possessed were entrusted to the demon kings in Kang-jun’s household, while the treasures were placed in Rotas’ warehouse .
Of course, Kang-jun didn’t touch the properties of the newly joined demon kings .
As a result of this, Kang-jun had eight demon kings under his command .
Eight battleships!
However, the other battleships were tiny compared to Rotas and their speed was very slow .
Therefore, when moving, the battleships of the demon kings were attached to the Rotas Battleship . Rotas changed the structure of the hull and accepted the ships naturally .
This didn’t affect Rotas’ speed at all .
Right now, Kang-jun’s number one property in the dimensional sea was definitely Rotas . Of course, Rotas wasn’t an item owned by a demon king .
"Lord, there are no more piratas near Earth Hwanmong . Where do you want to go now?”
Rotas asked .
"I am going to Top Dragon Shakan’s camp now . Do you know the headquarters?”
Kang-jun decided to listen to Aquana’s advice .
He was reluctant to become involved in a war between two transcendent beings in Pavaria Station .
However, it couldn’t be helped since Colladikus was protected by the Top Demon King Keljark .
Kang-jun wasn’t transcendent, so he had to prepare for the worst .
Rotas replied,
"I don’t know where the headquarters for Top Dragon Shakan is . The place is thoroughly hidden, so even people in Shakan’s camp don’t know the location . ”
"Then is there no way to go there?”
“If you go to one of Shakan’s bases, there is no need to go to the headquarters . Shakan has many bases . ”
“Shakan’s base?”
“Yes, there are a large number of people who belong to Shakan’s camp . A warp point I remember is very close to one of Shakan’s bases . ”
Rotas remembered a total of 378 warp spots in Pavaria Station .
“Okay . Then move there . ”
“Yes, Lord . ”
A radiant light enveloped the hull of the Rotas Battleship .
Hwaaack!
Rotas disappeared and reappeared again in a place that was above the purple clouds .
Nothing seemed different . However, they had moved from one end of the vast Pavaria Station to the other end .
Such a warp consumed a large amount of dimensional power, so it couldn’t be used again for a while .
Of course, one Dimensional Piece could refill the energy instantly .
However, it was a waste to use the Dimensional Pieces in such a manner . It was only useful in emergencies .
"Now, Shakan’s base is only a short distance from here . ”
Rotas advanced quickly through the sea of clouds .
The bright light before them was Shakan’s base .
After some time . . .
The light started to expand .
Dozens of ships appeared and surrounded the Rotas Battleship .
Most of the ships were smaller than Rotas but there was a warship so big that it made Rotas look small .
A very remarkable presence could be felt .
A woman looked down at them from the sky .
She was riding a stingray .
Kang-jun realized that the monster was an anomaloria, something he had only heard about until now .
To his surprise, the atmosphere felt from the woman was no less than Rainkar or Colladikus .

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.
