《How to Survive a Summoning 101》Happy Announcement+ Contest

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!

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!

The Woods Have Teeth
A Burglar, a Lawman, his scent hound, a Hitman, and a Hellhound chase each other through a very Spooky Forest on a quest for absolution, understanding, mercy, and fulfilment of duty. The story is mildly Slavic-fantasy, with a guest appearance from Baba Yaga and her house on hen's feet. It contains tight personal stakes and none of the human characters have magic powers or superhuman abilities. Nothing bad happens to the dog.
