《From Chief to the Emperor (Rewrite)》Chapter 6: Are you even a man?
Advertisement
The situation was extremely critical.
Two of the men that came along Titan rushed forward and got ahold of Night’s arms each.
Night glared at them as she screamed and struggled but to no avail.
The next step would be that Titan would rape Night on the spot. In prehistoric times, rape was the most basic strategy to ensure reproduction. Edward remembered such a sentence he once read in a book.
While unable to do anything, Edward felt extremely anxious. Before he came to this era, his wife was taken by that fat Billy. Now that he has come to the prehistoric era, the girl he likes was going to be taken away. It was hard not to consider that he was somehow cursed.
‘What dog shit luck I have!? Is it my fated to be always cucked?’
In a hurry, he yelled and shouted.
“Titan, you stupid fuck! What kind of a man you are to force yourself upon a weak, defenseless woman? Are you big and strong? More like you got a tiny wiener!”
“WHAT?”
Titan was focused on Night since she was captured. He was so happy that he didn’t pay much attention to Edward’s shouting. Although he also couldn’t really understand a lot of the words, Edward was speaking, but from his tone, he realized it wasn’t something good.
Titan ground his teeth in a seething rage. He was utterly consumed in rage and anger, being the alpha male he was insulted. In blind fury, Titan rushed towards Edward.
Night next to him was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Light, hurry to kneel on the ground, beg for forgiveness!"
But it was too late.
Titan's hammer-like big fist slammed into the face of Edward!
Suddenly, Edward felt his eyes staring at stars in daylight. His head was hit continuously; even his brain was shaking. He could taste iron in his mouth while his stomach was smashed with a big stick causing even more severe pain and the feeling that his whole intestines would tear. He could feel his stomach twisting inside, accompanied by a strong sense of nausea. He could feel the rabbit he had eaten about to be vomited out.
With a bang, he was thrown a few feet off the ground.
Then, Titan waved his hand, and three of his men rubbed their hands in anticipation as the encircled Edward.
Edward felt dizzy, but he could predict the seriousness and the eventual consequences of what this all meant. If he didn’t survive this, he might just lose his life today.
At this moment, Night stopped screaming, and she shouted:
"Titan! Are you really the alpha male? Are you really a leader or just a little rodent who uses numbers to fight against one weak man?”
Stunned, Titan commanded his men to stop. He pointed towards Edward. He was kneeling on the ground by this point, trying to prop his body with his arms.

“Just look at this little monkey! Pathetic and weak, Surrender, and I will spare your life today! I don’t have time for you. I need to have my fun with Night.”
Edward suddenly vomited, vomiting out the food he had previously eaten. It wasn’t sure if he vomited because of the beating he took or because the idea of rape repulsed him to that extent.
His consciousness returned, he turned sober. He could hear the vanity from each word Titan spoke, but that gave him a glimmer of hope.
Initially, he had already lost his life. He had already died when he fell down that cliff fighting Billy. He would die again in this jungle if he ventured alone. He needed Night.
He had nothing to lose, so he decided to be brave and bold.
Suffering from the immense pain and struggling even to speak:
"Tit...Tan, I have heard about you. People say you are a hunting expert…..not even afraid of a saber-toothed tiger, right?”
"Ha ha ha ha!" Titan laughed proudly.
No one had ever complimented him before like this, how can he a savage in prehistoric times, compare with a modern person in complimenting?
"However, I don’t think you can hunt animals. You can only bully the weak. You are no hunting expert; these are all lies!”
Without waiting for Titan to reply, Edward continued:
“What leader can you even call yourself? You are no alpha male! You are just a weakling who fights the weak. A true alpha male like a saber-toothed tiger has his pride, has his strength, and as that power. You can only steal women and rape them, but a true leader must know how to hunt. Can you even hunt more meat than me? I can be a better leader than you. Can you even prove yourself to your men that you are the alpha? And you call yourself a man!”
The subtext of this was that what you are doing is nothing but the same as when wild beast fuck each other, and he was no man but a dumb beast. It wasn’t just that, but Edward knew that for men like him, it was best to challenge him as a man and as an alpha. He couldn’t use logic and reasoning with him, so he could only challenge his position as a leader. He knew men like him would have their pride. The worth of a prehistoric man was defined by his strength and his ability to hunt.
Edward couldn’t invoke his morality or challenge him to a match, but he knew Titan would have to protect his position as a leader. Even the Titan’s men looked towards him, unsure of how he would react.
The air solidified as the muscles on the face of Titan shifted, from horror to anger. The big stick in his hand was shaking, and his eyes were about to explode!

"Titan! I really look down on you!" Night’s voice was cold as she provoked him even more. It seemed Night understood what Edward wanted to do.
‘Holy shit… that is some cold tone Night. Its sending shivers down my spine. I never knew you could even speak like that.’
At this moment, Edward hardened his scalp and said:
"Titan, you are so brave and strong, right? Are you better than me? Can you even beat me?” He started at Titan’s eyes directly.
Titan’s nostrils flared out,
“I just beat you to a pulp monkey. You have tiny arms. How are you even better than me!?”
‘Hook, line, and sink. You’re a total sucker!’
Edward thought in his heart that as long as he passed today and let himself get a breathing room, he could definitely plan ahead and ensure his survival.
‘There will be a day you’ll be kneeling on the ground for mercy, Titan!’
Edward carefully hid his emerging smirk as he continued:
“Can you even catch more prey than me? Look how weak and small I am. Look at my thin arms. You call yourself a leader, can you even beat me in hunting Titan?”
When he finished, he turned and winked at Night, who had no idea what that meant. Although she couldn’t understand what Edward was doing, she realized that he had something up his sleeve.
Edward knew that he had to distract Titan from Night. He diverted the topic away from Night, and towards challenging his manliness cause the moment Titan focused on Night, something that was in his hands, he would have his way with her.
In this era, humanity was as simple as clear water, and Edward’s tricks blinded everyone.
“OF COURSE I CAN HUNT MORE THAN YOU PUNY MONKEY!”
Thoroughly enraged, Titan moved towards Edward, trying to beat him again.
“You want to beat me? Is that what a man does when his position is challenged? Five days Titan…. 5 days. Let's see if you can even hunt more than me and are really worthy of being a leader.”
In prehistoric times, a challenge to someone’s leadership was something serious.
“Sure…sure monkey. After five days, I will find you, and if I win, I’ll kill you slowly and skin you alive! I will enjoy your screams.”
For Titan, this was something serious, especially in front of his men. He didn’t put the monkey-like person in his eyes. Hunting? He was the best hunter in all the surrounding tribes.
Edward finally breathed a sigh of relief!
‘I, a 21st-century engineer trained in the modern scientific knowledge of human beings, can make a savage like you who eats nothing but dirt, know what real meat is like!’
"Good! Five days is the limit!" Edward was so happy he could die, not literally because he had just escaped death and didn’t want to die after all the trouble.
Five days! He had to hunt for five days! This time was too abundant for him.
Titan took his man away after the agreement was done. For him, he could get Night whenever he wanted, but a challenge to his position was direr.
Night couldn’t believe it, with a few words of his, he actually made the tyrannical Titan go back, she admired Edward even more now.
"Hey," all the pain came together at the moment, and Edward, who just wanted to stand up, fell to the ground.
"Light, what's wrong with you?" Night hurriedly asked.
"My stomach hurts so badly; my head is also dizzy, it feels painful enough to die..."
"Oh, your eyes are swollen too, they look scary" Night sat on the leaves next to him, gently stroking his swollen left eye.
Seeing that the forest was getting dim, Night seemed a little uneasy.
It was not a good thing to stay in the forest at dark where no one had any idea what might appear to instead hunt humans.
Edward breathed a sigh of relief. "Night, don't worry, you support me, let's go!"
But after a few trials, there was no success.
"Light, climb on my back!" Night bent down, and the leopard skin skirt showed her well-rounded hips, causing his heart to go beating like crazy.
‘This… is maddening. Only a small piece of rabbit skin covers my waist, and now I am being asked to hold and almost naked girl? My little brother will kill me from blue balling instead of the pain left behind Titan at this rate.’
"This way...." Edward looked around. "Night, see the tree in front of you? Can you get that for me?”
Night went under the tree, pulling the end of a branch, and slamming the tree and pulling it down.
Edward sat on the ground and directed Night. He made simple crutches without much effort. He gave one of the crutches to Night, who curiously looked at them as some kind of a mystery.
He stood up while holding Night’s shoulders, placed the simple branch crutch under his armpit, and took a few steps along.
"Night, lead the way ahead!" he said with a smile.
"It’s tough to beat you down!" Night laughed as she helped Edward move along.

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.
