I Will Be The Monkey God! Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Is there a weather forecast in this world?
[You have successfully refined the Snake Companion.]
[Your class quest has been completed.]
Yumi's eyes flashed with those messages, and then she shoved those aside to look at her new creation.
It was a snake born out of Nera's body.
[Snake Companion Lv. 1.]
It had just level one, but Yumi was content with its stats. Those were high due to their origin, and it even had tiny wings on its back, so the snake was destined to become heavenly!
Under Yumi's lead, it surely would reach such heights!
The Blood and Mana Poison were the main ingredients as well.
Within this creation, this poison had reached perfection!
Yumi would need some time to reach the same level, but her strength and techniques increased again with this snake by her side!
She looked at the small snake looking at her with its slit eyes, "Nera will be his name."
"Sadist," KongFu commented while digging in his nose.
That was indeed dog KongFu.
Yumi didn't pay any heed to him and focused on the other skills.
[Nera can not use The Prototype Poison World yet.]
"Fair," She nodded and snatched all Nera's theories about the poison and the origin of his race as well! This could lead to another quest, so Yumi made sure she got everything in her inventory!
Michu and Momo helped her, and then the group left the hidden cave.
-
[Michu's Banana Farm.]
After Michu returned to his farm, his friends went to the house while he and KongFu headed to the banana guardian.
Momo wanted to prepare something delicious for them while Yumi would play around with her snake and make it hunt some level one monsters...
She had already caught some rabbits along the way...

Michu sat down before his tree after nourishing and using all farmer skills on it, "Can I make monkeys? I want a monkey army!"
"I knew you would ask me that," KongFu turned serious, "It should be feasible... but isn't it better to learn magic sub-class first? There's an Academy in the center, right?"
"That's the plan! Hehe!" Michu nodded and forgot about the monkey army for a while.
His friend proposed it, so Michu believed it would be best for his future.
He spent some time with the guardian, and then Momo approached him with banana meals! Both of them munched those together in their presence. Then Yumi joined in.
Her snake was level three already, and it was longer and bigger!
"It levels up fast," Michu said while munching.
"It does," Yumi smiled and took a seat, "It will catch up to my level fast, then we both will slowly level up."
Speaking of the levels, both Yumi and Michu reached level 100 already... It was a nice milestone to celebrate, but the duo just needed their presence and Momo's dishes for that event...
Michu felt great that he continued to level up, and Yumi also didn't even think once of her goal.
Both of them were into each other.
Yumi leaned down and chuckled, "The Forbidden Love."
"Sounds spicy!" Michu laughed.
"Let me see a description for both the brotherhood and the forbidden love," Yumi requested, and her boyfriend passed those descriptions through the black magic.
Incubuses created the [The Brotherhood] skill to keep their lust in check, but it also came with passive skills. First of all, it helped them cooperate, and the marks on Nera were proof of that.
Secondly, this skill also marked each other's presence. It wasn't just a minimap, but one would be able to feel the exact location of their buddies so that the teamwork would be better.

Of course, the brotherhood skill was proof of true friendship, which was what mattered the most.
One wouldn't go around the world and make brotherhood with everyone, would he?
"This skill increases teamwork, and I guess it will awaken more of its abilities the more you use it," Yumi thought out loud, then peeked at The Forbidden Love.
[The Forbidden Love...] The first passive uses were similar to [The Brotherhood], but both Yumi and Michu would have their nicknames in a pink color close to each other. It would tell everyone that they were lovers!
Cute.
The other effects Yumi had felt already. Those were the heart and soul connected! They could speak and work better than brothers and show off their power of love...
But the last passive skill [Forbidden Fruit] was what piqued the most interest!
[Forbidden Fruit - by indulging in each other's embrace, you can assist each other with your abilities.]
[Hint: The Cloudy Night]
"A skill you would expect from incubuses," Yumi casually said, then innocently asked, "Is there weather forecast in this world?"

[Earth]
"We did another dungeon, big brother! My class, a priest, is the best!" Nana happily shared the news.
She, Sandra, and Lazy Bum were known as lazy trio.
It was because of Lazy Bum, but their gameplay also had a part in this nickname. These three weren't focused on leveling up, nor did they have a lot of time to spend on the game. They enjoyed the world's content, such as cuisine and the new lands!
Leveling up was also part of it, so they sometimes took dungeon raids, and people around their level were aware of them.
Thus, they easily get accepted in most dungeon raids and chill out at the backline while having a lot of fun.
"Hehe! The priests are cool! We have had a good one, Nana! I can give you some tips!" Michu caressed his chin and shared his experience with Nana, who seriously listened to him.
The most beautiful lady of this household, Yumi, smiled at the siblings and checked the forums whether Rainbow May had disclosed the location of the hidden dungeon.
As the forums were silent about it, Yumi concluded that it was probably not the case. She then participated in a serious talk of two siblings, "Precision and keen eye is the key for the priests. They must be aware of the surroundings and their party member's health and mana bars."
Another person entered the talk, "I would like to try the game too. Can I?" It was Michu's mom!
Michu nodded instantly, "Yes! We have saved a lot of money, and I will meet Miyuki soon for another deal!"
"That's nice!" Mom was pretty hyped for the game! "Nana, will you help mom?"
"..." Nana didn't answer...
"..."
An awkward silence prevailed for a little, then Michu shattered it, "I have a good friend who plays as a farmer! Mom will play crafting classes too, so that he might help you! I can ask him!"
"Okay," Michu's mom thanked her son and waited for the good news.
After Michu sent a message through social media, Roland replied in an instant, "Sure thing, Michu!"
Thus, Mom got a friend to play with!

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.
