I'm The King Of Technology Chapter 535
Advertisement
Back in Baymard, things were getting a little bit heated up for some people.
In Baymard's Male high-tech security Prison, several Grade A prisoners were currently having their meal in the Prisoner Cafeteria.
This prison was for men only, as women also had their own high-tech prison just on the other side of District B.
The Prisons themselves had several sectors where different danger-level prisoners were kept.
Each sector was as big as 2 large estates joint together.
These sectors held different high tanking prisoners, which were ranked from C-class prisoners all the way through S-class prisoners.
These prisoners were kept separately, because they didn't want the strong to prey on the weak or even kill the lower-ranked prisoners.
Also... with some of the psychos that they had been getting, it would be utterly wicked of them to do so.
Hence they could only divide the prisoners up like so.
Nonetheless, this didn't mean that there weren't any agreements or fights within the sectors.
One should know that even the sector filled with the lowest ranking prisoners, still had people who had already cemented themselves as the toughest within the groups.
Each sector was as large as 2 estates joint together, so they had their own personal cafeteria, basketball court, church services and so on.
In fact, prisoners knew that there were other sectors within the prison, but ever since they got in... They had never seen prisoners from the other sectors, even when they were engaged in sporty outdoor activities.
In short, the whole place had been designed in such a way that allowed each sector to take in the great outdoors... Without people from these sectors catching a glimpse of each other.
But nonetheless, they knew of the existence of these other sectors... Since the prisoners also upgraded or downgraded and got transferred from one sector to another as well.

For example, some prisoners who were previously C-class prisoners quickly became the big losses of their sectors with their abilities.
And because of this, they easily bullied or injured several other inmates in their sector.
Their abilities slowly grew until they were now seen as B-level prisoners instead.
Of course from there, they were immediately transferred to the B-level sector instead.
So with all that said, some prisoners saw this as a promotion, while others saw this as a death sentence.
.
There were many ridiculous wild tales going on about the inmates of other sectors, which greatly frightened some of the prisoners... As they didn't want to die here any time soon.
Prion life was already extremely hard for them and felt like hell..... So why would they want to add more troubles in their plates?
In short, a majority of prisoners had already started reforming themselves... As they reflected on their past behaviour in the outside world.
And of course with the Baymardian Bible by their side, and the priests that arrived for Sunday services..... many of them had already begun changing their ways.
So changing sectors and going up a rank was instead seen as a death sentence to this category of people... Which mostly included lower-ranking prisoners.
But for some, it felt like an acknowledgement of strength... As they still held on to their belief that the strong should prey on the weak.
These people gladly walked out of the lower-ranking sectors and climbed up the ranks merrily.
Of course the only sector that didn't have to go through all of this, was the one that held the S-class prisoners in it.
This one had its entire sector underground instead.
Prisoners in this sector had never seen one another, as they were kept in their cells permanently.
Their food, drugs and any other essentials, were brought to them instead.

In short, this part of the prison was the region that had the highest amount of security around it.
Everything and anyone that went close to these cells, only did so under extreme supervision.
These prisoners were not to be messed with, so the prison guards took their jobs seriously, as they didn't want any accidents happening within their sectors.
In short, this was the entire gist of how the prisoners were positioned here.
.
Currently in Sector A, all the level-A ranked prisoners all in different pacts and groups while having their breakfast.
This group of prisoners typically had assassins, poison masters and so on.
So it was always like a war zone in the sector.
The entire cafeteria was bustling and rowdy, as some groups were planning on how to deal with other groups and so on.
Even though some people had chosen to change their ways, that didn't mean that they would just let themselves die in the hands of other prisoners here.
Their approach was simple..... If one smiled at them, they would smile back... But if one dared to raise a hand at them, then they would fight till they dropped.
Within sector A's Cafeteria, 2 inmates were slowly walking towards their group at one of the furthest tables at the back.
And as they walked, other inmates from other groups were either friendly nodding at them..... or giving them death stares instead.
And who were these men?
Of course, they were one of the first inmates in this sector.
Yup!
They were the men who tried to jump over the lower region's electric fence.
In short, they were men who were abandoned by Alec Barn after their court trial.
.
Both men were calmly walking towards their group, when all of a sudden..... 3 people from another table slowly walked towards them with rage, before finally stopping right in front of the duo.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?" One of the approaching men said while smiling cruelly at them.
And while he spoke, the guards surrounding the room all became alert and hurriedly advanced towards the men a well.
"Inmates 47, 54 and 89... Get back to your table immediately.
This is your last warning!" The head guard said warily.
But before the guards could reach the inmates, all hell had already broken loose.
"Die!!!!!"

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.

Riftwalker
Legend speaks that a roaring force of insatiable abyss lies beneath the peaceful overworld. Named the Rift after its chasm-like entrances, this unexplored void has consumed the underneath for eons. What had seemed just a myth crawled out of unreality in the form of eldritch creatures. Reborn as something not entirely human, mankind rejected the boy. Thrown into the Rift by people who feared him, he had to live in a world run by monsters as a newborn. Surviving, however, wasn't his only difficulty as he soon had to decide whether he would save the people who banished him or simply idle as the Rift engulfed all life. As of chapter 9, Riftwalker is on a very small hiatus. I'm very busy with work atm :( Here are a couple of things to expect: Lots of action and exploration! Diverse and refreshing creatures; There are good and evil. Satisfying progression and coming of age. The protagonist stands out but isn't overpowered. There are some litRPG elements, but it's not a determinant factor. The fights are decided through one's combat skill and experience and not stat-checking. Oh, and some other info: There is a bit of gore, but nothing disturbing. Occasionally, there will be images of the scenery and landscape. Chapters will be around 1,5k to 2k words long, and the releases will probably be relatively slow, sorry.
