Hello there!!
Well, this isn't a chapter, but something important. I haven't been able to post a chapter the last week and the reason for that is...EXAMS!! Don't worry, I will get back to the story in a few days. As for another matter, I feel like I need to explain something. I repeat, don't worry, just let me slay the exam demons.

Announcement Beta!
So, what do you think about having a character you designed yourself to appear in HTSAS101?
Yes! now you can design a character and see it appear in HTSAS as part of the main storyline! All you need to do is draw me a character and name it. The best one chosen will appear in a few chaps(to be published in 2 months) and later in the next arcs.
So, you ask 'what character?'
Well, a nine-ten year old girl from a poor fishing village. You have full artistic license to draw the character as you please and name it too. Just remember that the girl is poor and HTSAS is set in medieval world. Extra points if can show the girl with a fishing rod/fishing net.

Any style of drawing will be accepted.
Announcement Gamma
I got a recent comment that made me go 'Shit! I haven't actually explained that, did I?'
As wildex999 pointed out, in Chapter 4,
Quote:Thanks for the chapter, but this one really pulled me out of the story.
It was great up to this point(Despite all the weird references thrown in for no reason). He was in a new land, meeting new people who had an unknown language and weird(For him) customs.
Then all of a sudden he wakes up, knows their language and can talk with them. He is instantly all buddy-buddy with the people and make no mistakes anymore. Then they decide to simply train up this unknown person in combat, because.. you know.. they are all buddies now. They act as if they have known each other for years =S
It just feels like you couldn't bother with the slow(But more realistic) development of the MC in this world, and decided to speed it all up MAGICALLY.
He/She/It is sort of right.
Now, What happened was, I started off writing it as a satire, therefore the 'PLOT ARMOR' line in middle of this chapter. I was mocking the whole trope of MC getting everything suddenly. But then, while writing this project grew close to my heart and took a different, serious direction. So, a few of the earliest chapters still have a lot of ...things left over from the satire idea, so a lot of things don't add up. I intend to fix the kinks and reconcile it with the rest of the story after I finish the latest arc. By no means I am am happy with everything I have written, and will improve them as I go.

As for the 'buddy-buddy' part and why they let him, I can't explain it all the way without going into another POV, which will have to come as Short Stories when I finish the current arc.
So, what I am saying is, the earliest chapters have some stylistic choices and general kinks that need to be fixed. This is a work in progress and the first few like till 5 or 6 was me totally going in blind. This is actually like the first draft. So please forgive me for now. I'll get around to streamline/fix it soon, very soon. No, there won't be a 'rewrite', but rather 'touch-up' of those chapters. Please have patience with me! I am a first-time author.xd Besides, the later chapters are pretty okay on the logic front IMO. It only happened because I was trying to mock the genre at first.xd
Psst, It means now you know that you are getting short stories in Karro/Arin/*revealed later* charcater POVs. Don't tell anyone, k?
See you guys in few days, with a new chapter or two of HTSAS. Stay awesome!

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.

The Valion Chronicles - The Emergence
An action-adventure story about the struggles of a group of refugees from the war torn world of Valin fleeing the vindictive fury of a scientist turned military madman bent on intergalactic domination. The crew of the Safe Haven finds their way to Earth to discover that not only are there humans there but a variety of other alien species cohabitating on Earth which had become a central trading hub in the time they'd been in contact with a collective known as the Transgalactic Federation of Planets. The story is meant to be my take as a westerner on the concept of a Japanese Shonen Anime written with inspirations from the likes of Power Rangers and Kamen Rider but also meant to be my own spin on the conventions and tropes of the genre with a bit more of a large-scale world and a very open ended universe with lots of room to develop things outside the world of the main cast.
