I'm The King Of Technology Chapter 794
Advertisement
Lucia and the rest looked at Landon and smiled at his speechlessness.
"Saviour..."
"Why do you all still call me that?
We're now friends, aren't we?"
Everyone smiled at Landon's humble personality.
They could see that he felt embarrassed by the title.
Many people would show off and take advantage of others just because they helped them out.
But their saviour... No! Their new brother seemed not to care about these things.
As expected of someone the heavens would trust.
He wasn't greedy at all.
The fact that he also shared some of the wealth with the slaves, as well as warn them about their safety before sending them out, also showed his character.
His acts and character had won the respect of everyone.
Not to talk of his sense of justice.
He just happened to pass by and see their struggles.
But rather than running away, he bravely stepped forward even though he was alone on a mission.
As for why he knew their language, he told them: "would you believe if I told you that an old man (system) taught me in my dreams?"
Of course they would!
Their princess was a seer, duh?
This only proved again that he was the saviour that the heavens had sent to them.
Now, they trusted him even more.
.
"Brother Landon, you see, our people are blessed by the heavens. So we every generation of royals have seers in our midst." Andrew spoke while gesturing to Lucia.
Because they trusted in the heavens, they decided to disclose the fact that Lucia was a seer.
Lucia was more than happy to disclose this information to their saviour.
Well, in her empire, and even in the entire continent, everyone knew that she was a seer.
So she felt like this information could be gotten by anyone if they wanted to.
Again, her seer abilities are only limited to her people.
That is, she couldn't help other nations with these powers.
Why?
People these gifts were given by the heavens because they favoured her people.

So they gave them this ability in hopes that they could foresee danger coming towards them and survive.
If danger was attacking another region, she couldn't get visions for that.
She only saw what was either beneficial for her people, or troublesome for her people.
That's probably why the neighbouring regions who knew of her power didn't even bother asking her to predict their futures.
She was just a regular girl to others.
Of course, her visions only activated when the danger seemed to be too great.
After all, the Gods didn't want them to only rely on these powers.
They too had to face some hurdles here and there to become stronger.
So one could say that the visions only activate when the dangers are within an 8~10/10 danger level.
Anything below that would have to be solved by them.
.
A seer!
Landon felt like Lucia came out of the 'legends of the seeker' movie.
Granted, she wasn't a seeker.
But wasn't the seeker's companion in the movie a seer?
Basically, she received strange visions that popped up surprisingly and that was it.
It was just that her powers were only meant for her people, which in a way, protected her as well.
He really wanted to see her powers in action.
It was just too amazing, right?
Now he knew why the system said that she and her people were highly favoured by many gods.
Not 1, not 2, but many.
They must've been the most devoted and morally upright people ever.
They had been collecting blessings for centuries now.
Truly, they were a blessed bunch.
Moving on, Landon also got a clear understanding of the Romain continent.
Even though the continent itself wasn't that big.
It still had 37 empires within it.
Funny enough, some of these empires were the size of Baymard.
While others were a little bigger.
One should know that back then, their empires started with just a single clan or tribe that inhabited a single city, village, or town.
And with time, several leaders fought their way through and expanded their regions, conquering more areas.

Now, some empires were the size of Caribbean islands back on earth.
Even though they were small, they were still prosperous.
That said, the continent of Romain had 37 empires within it.
.
"Brother Landon, we came all the way here because some temple from another continent decided to invade our empire.
Please... We came to ask for your help.
Please, didn't turn us down."
'Plup!'
Immediately, everyone, be it injured or not dropped to their knees.
Even though they felt somewhat confident that Landon would agree, they were still a bit afraid that he might turn them down and send them away.
Their anxious hearts were drumming hard, as they stared at Landon pitifully.
They were so scared of his rejection, that they dared not breathe.
"Everyone, please get up.
We are now family.
So how can I not help you?" Landon said warmly.
Yes, how could he not help them when his boss was the system?
Wasn't that suicide?
.
With his acceptance, they hurriedly got up and cheered merrily while thanking him over and over again.
"Thank your brother Landon."
"Thank you his majesty, Landon Barn."
"We, we are saved."
"Our people are saved!"
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
They jubilated for a bit before Andrew quickly calmed everyone down.
Landon was more churros about their enemy.
"You said it was a temple?"
"Yes, brother Landon.
It's called the Temple of Adonis."
"Them again?"
"Eh?
Brother Landon, you know them?"
Landon stroked his chin thoughtfully: "HmHm... They tried to claim territory here, but I stopped them before they could even make it to land. It seems like they plan to take over all continents and rule the world."
Rule the world?
"What?
We can't let that happen brother Landon."
"Yeah!
If those people take over, there will be no place for others in this world."
What?
They were that ambitious?
.
Everyone was now frightened by these Adonis people.
If they succeed, forget about the people, no one else will live happily.
They must be stopped!
But can brother Landon handle it all alone?
The air was gloomy as they thought of ways to help brother Landon.
It was too bad that they were still too weak and useless right now.
They couldn't even help themselves, how bound they help others?
Landon saw through their frustration and smiled.
"Don't worry, it's nothing to me.
If you don't believe me, then just wait until you arrive in Baymard.
Then you'll understand."
Baymard?
Their Saviour's empire?
How would it be like?
Everyone was now looking forward to seeing how special it was.
.
They spoke for a bit and rounded things up.
"Brother Landon, don't worry.
We'll help you bring the prisoners to Baymard."
"Thank you.
I didn't have space on my boat to transport them all.
So this is the only way.
I'll be seeing you all in 3 days."
"Yes, brother Landon.
See you then."
Landon turned on the engine and flew away amidst everyone's shocked expressions.
"My God!
Do you see how fast it's going?"
"The saviour said that no one is rowing the boat.
So this is definitely a miracle boat sent from the heavens!"
"Yes!
Just this alone is something that no human can do, no matter how hard we row the ship.
Only our saviour can have such things!"
"Ahhhhhhhhh!
I really want to ride on it."
"Me too!"
"Hey, will we see such things in Baymard?"
"How I wish we could arrive there now?"
Everyone stared at the small boat that had almost disappeared from their sight in amazement and longing.
They wished that they could magically appear in Baymard now.
.
As for Landon, he was long gone.
The moment he was out of their sight, he and the boat vanished into thin air.
And just like that, he was back in Baymard.
Now, he had to prepare for their visit.

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.

Shadow Emperor
This is one of my side projects. It is about a young innocent boy, who has some mishap happening at the date of his birth. Through circumstances he is forced to strenghten himself. His fate was decided long ago, and this story is just the journey to his fate. It is very xianxia/xuanhuan-esque, with some Western elements mixed in. It is a cultivation novel, and it will have gore, sexual depictions, but to an extent. Most of the time it is either fun or exciting, as you will see an innocent boy's rise to the Emperor of the Shadows..
