Taming Beasts To Survive: I Can See The Prompts Chapter 1
Advertisement
A large white light flashed past. In this endless world, countless thatched huts and strange creatures appeared in an instant.
At this moment, the seven billion people of the world had all transmigrated to this world, starting a brand new adventure.
Mcgee rubbed his red eyes, looked at everything in front of him, and muttered with a dumbfounded face,
"What's going on? Did I not just stay up all night at the internet cafe?"
In other places, countless people looked at the strange scene in front of them in a daze, just like Mcgee.
In a dilapidated wooden house, there were finger-wide cracks on the roof and walls.
The cold wind kept entering the wooden house through the cracks, stimulating everyone's brain and keeping them awake.
Just as Mcgee was sizing up the wooden house, an exclamation mark suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"Hmm, what is this?"
Mcgee clicked on the exclamation mark in front of him in confusion.
Lines of information immediately appeared on the side.
Wooden House
Level: Level 1
Note: Wooden House is your only home. Please do not destroy or burn the Wooden House. You can collect building materials and upgrade the quality of the Wooden House.
Mcgee had just finished reading the information about the Wooden House.
A few exclamation marks suddenly jumped out of the broken wooden house.
Mcgee was expressionless. He opened the exclamation marks one by one and looked at the initial basic information.
Stove: On cold nights, you can put in wood to heat up.
Consumption of wood per hour * 1.
Note: Please use as carefully as possible, do not ignite the wooden house and forest.
Water Storage Tank: Water storage tool.
Note: If you are unlucky, this may be your only source of drinking water in the early stages. Please do not waste it.

Mcgee bent down and opened the cover of the water storage tank. He did not expect that the side of the water tank was covered with a thick layer of spider webs.
Mcgee, who was originally very thirsty, suddenly lost the desire to drink water. He said helplessly.
"This water looks so dirty. If it's not boiled, whoever drinks it will definitely have diarrhea!"
Just as Mcgee was complaining, an emotionless, mechanical voice suddenly sounded in the void.
"Beep! Adventurers, welcome. Here is the introduction for beginners. Please listen carefully!"
Then, there was an extremely long introduction.
Mcgee instantly quieted down. He did not dare to be distracted and concentrated on trying not to miss a word.
His many years of experience in online games had let Mcgee know that the introduction of the system was the simplest way to understand this world.
[1. Welcome to the Beast Master World. You have become a beast master. You need to tame beasts, collect resources, build a home, survive, and develop in this world.]
[2. The initial resources are the wooden house in front of you and a pet egg. The pet egg will be distributed after the novice has finished introducing it. During the three-day novice protection period, do not exit the range of the safety of your house. Ensure the safety of your life and property.]
[3. The way to tame a wild beast pet is for it to recognize its master with blood. After recognizing its master, the beast will be your partner and helper. If you abuse it, its loyalty will decrease, and you may be betrayed and backstabbed.]
[4. As you continue to expand and develop, you will meet many beast trainers like you in the future. You can freely trade and form alliances, but you have to be wary of people's unpredictable hearts.]

[5. There are still many unknowns waiting for you to explore in the vast world, but please always remember that you only have one life.]
As the mechanical notification ended, a translucent panel appeared in front of everyone.
At the same time, another notification appeared in their minds.
"Beep! System binding completed!"
Everyone was instantly bound!
At this moment, Mcgee noticed that there was a chat panel on the semi-transparent screen.
At this moment, countless messages were scrolling rapidly. All kinds of languages made Mcgee's head hurt!
Fortunately, there was a language switch button next to the chatbox.
After Mcgee pressed the button, all the messages in the chatbox were translated into English.
"What's going on? I thought I was the chosen one. F*ck! They all transmigrated!"
"Help! There's a giant snake as thick as a bucket not far from my house. The system also said that the other party's level is too high. I can't see anything! I feel like I'm going to die!"
"Didn't the system say that there's a beginner's protection period so that you can live for another three days! You can eat whatever you want during these three days."
"Why! Why did you have to throw me into this sh*t-like world when I just paid my mortgage!"
"Sigh, I just bought a house with all my savings. If I knew this would happen, I would have used that money to enjoy my life back then."
"If anyone can send me back, I will give him a million dollars in compensation!"
"I will pay 10 million dollars!"
The messages were scrolling rapidly, and the amount of information available was pitifully small.
Mcgee was about to enter the information and complain about the water quality problem, but he realized that there was a limit to what he could say!
Next to the input box, there was a loudspeaker indicating that it was x 1.
After thinking for a while, Mcgee still did not waste this precious opportunity to complain.
Closing the panel, Mcgee walked out of the wooden house.
But after a moment, Mcgee could not help but curse.
"Damn! His face is so black!"
Not far from the wooden house, under a bush, a wild boar half the height of a man was stirring the soil.
Outside the bush, there were some desolate wood and rocks.
The ground was also full of dead branches and leaves.
After looking at the surrounding environment, Mcgee could only comfort himself.
"There are a lot of dead branches. At least I won't get cold tonight."
"Ding! System notification, the next step is to release Beast Taming!"

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.
