S-Rank In Another World Chapter 25
Advertisement
If it's been 5 days since the fight with the Dragon, I decided to spend some time without going to the forest because the dragon's death could have attracted many monsters.
So I wouldn't enter the forest soon after killing the dragon.
'I have to think what to do with the core'
The monster core was still in the woods, I had no way to get the core now, as there was no place to store it and there was no adventurer guild nearby to sell the core.
I went to the forest in the afternoon just to get the core. I was thinking of burying him behind the house so I could sell him when I went to school in the capital.
'Let's bury here'
I used earth magic to drill a hole in the ground. I realized that spells don't just have level spells, I can create copyright spells, and I can use magic in another way, such as controlling the elements of the spell itself.
I drilled a hole in the ground and buried it the core.
'I'll take him to the capital as soon as I'm 12, so he'll be here for now'
I finished burying and went indoors.
After I went inside, I took the wooden sword and walked around the village.
I wanted to talk to mom so I could start hunting monsters with her, since I got tired of doing it in hiding, and I wanted to show my strength to my mom.
'I'm sure she won't allow it'
I was pretty sure she wouldn't allow it, but it didn't hurt to try.
###########
After walking around the village a bit and talking to some people, I saw mom walking around the village too.
Apparently she keeps walking near the forest so if any monsters appear she could kill quickly.

I went to mom and called her to talk.
"Mom, can I hunt monsters with you in the village?" (Endl)
"You're crazy, of course not" (Emma)
Hand answered instantly.
"But I want to help protect the village. You know I can use magic" (Endl)
I tried to talk about spells, since my mother realized that my magic was strong, she could let me help her by attacking spells from afar. But it was not the case.
"You can't Endl, I already said, ok?" (Emma)
"But why?" (Endl)
I was wondering why since I can take care of these monsters easily.
"Because you can not." (Emma)
Mother answered me with a furious voice.
She didn't even want to tell me why I couldn't hunt monsters with her.
But that's okay, since I can hunt at night. I wasn't really into monster hunting alone, because I always had mates with me.
But this is the only way for me to level up.
###########
When night fell, I decided to go to the forest again. I leave home as usual, I leave very slowly so as not to risk anybody waking up.
Since in the forest near the village there were only weak monsters, I wanted to find stronger monsters.
'I hope not to find another dragon'
I was not in the mood to fight another dragon again, since he is very strong.
I kept walking through the woods.
I started to go deeper into the forest to look for stronger monsters. Despite walking for a long time, I only found goblins and killed them quickly.
You have leveled up.
I spent so much time walking and killing goblins that I leveled up.
'That's nice'
At least I managed to level up, right?
After continuing to walk for a while, I found a cave, yes, a huge cave.

She had a huge entrance and right after the entrance, she had a ladder down.
'A dungeon?'
In my previous world, there were dungeons, they are 10 floors deep, and usually on the top floor there is a Boss Monster.
Boss monsters are very strong, but I don't think they would be stronger than the dragon, right?
Usually the dungeon has 10 floors, each floor you go down the difficulty increases, I think this dungeon should be strong.
I don't know if this dungeon has been explored before by an adventurer, I can't see anything to indicate it. If it has not been exploited by anyone, surely there must be something important inside it.
'It can be a very valuable item, or just a lot of money, but I want it'
So I decided to enter the dungeon.

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.
