About necromancy…So now I can control 40 undead. As for the undead I can create: zombies, skeletons, abomination (normal), ghoul (lesser),skeletal golem (weak), ghost (weak), death knight (weak dullahan),lesser demi lich (weak).
Then there is the demonic core…
DEMONIC COREAsmodeusMerizin
Merizin the lord of the sixth circle of hell, the lord of pestilence….FUCK YEAH!!!
And what exactly he gives me…
MerizinThis demonic core comes from the lord of the pestilence Merizin. With this power you can create different viruses, bacteria and diseases. Unleash the outbreak of plagues on to the world! Sadly to create one illness you have to create it for one month. This demonic origin also enchants alchemy (sets maximum level of alchemy skill to 150 and helps you create more complex creations.) and necromancy (T-VIRUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every living being that is killed by the zombies turns in the zombies! But you can’t control them on your level. Also makes your undead a bit stronger.) Also Merizin’s power gives you immunity to most diseases.
With this I can create the most fun apocalypse….ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!
You are sick you know that?
Is that something new?
No not really…
Back to the point…This week was all but preparations for the robbery. This resulted in only mowing all the Acino’s stuff to our house.
Yes he is living in our house now. No he has a personal room. And fuck no! Neither he nor I are gays! Go die you sick bastard!
You are surprisingly homophobic.
No I am just an asshole that hates gay’s but loves lesbians.
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And right now is past midnight, a time when I and Acino are leaving for the job!
“So everything’s ready?”
“Let me check…Lock picks check, magic trap detector check, sleeping gas check, rope check and magic bag check! We are good to go!” (Acino)
“Good. Titania Tamamo we’re off.”
“Good luck dear.” (Titania)
“Good luck master.” (Tamamo)

“What about me?” (Acino)
“If something will happen to Oberon I’m gonna castrate you.” (Titania)
“Brrrr your wife scares me!” (Acino)
“Hahaha…”
And so with depressed Acino by my side we left.
A half hour later we are in front of the grandiose mansion.
“So first let’s check for a good place to climb over this wall.” (Acino)
“You are the thief so you lead.”
As we walked around the wall we found a good spot for wall climbing. On the other side there were trees that blocked a view from the mansion.
“This looks like a good spot.” (Acino)
A moment later Acino took out a rope with a hook on the end and threw it on the wall.
“I can’t wait for a moment when I will evolve to a species with wings.”
“We won’t be needing a rope then.” (Acino)
“Wait I still don’t know how evolution of yours happens. It goes through a cocoon like a caterpillar transforms to a butterfly? Or maybe an egg? Or you become a mass of unidentified substance and then change?” (Acino)
“I am not sure myself…All I know that it hurts so much that I lose my consciousness, then I wake up and I am a new species already. And butterfly seriously?”
“Well you know I am just making speculations.” (Acino)
With that kind of talk we climbed over a wall. If you are wondering why we are speaking when we shouldn’t, then you should know that Acino have some kind of skill that detects sensible life in radius of 20 meters.
Once we were in the garden Acino signaled me to keep quiet and move silently. For a few minutes We were sneaking past the guards steady and silently moving to the back door.
Once we were by the door Acino took out lock picks and began to work with his magic. Half a minute and he already opened the lock.
I always wondered how he is so quick with that. Even back on Earth. I would take six or more minutes with a lock which he could open in mere seconds!
It’s a talent. And it seems that you will never be able to become a true thief as you lack talent in that aspect.
True. But I am an evil, genius bastard who have enough ambition to become an overlord.
Will see.
(If you have read RE;HAMSTER then you would know that Blue screen can predict future via calculations. But in this story our Evo-chan and other systems lack that ability.)

Well that’s a bummer.
Let’s ignore the authors and Evo-chan’s bickering and focus on the story.
(Hey!)
Hey!
As we entered the door we ended in the kitchen.
(All the dialogues of Oberon and Acino from now on till the end of this chapter will be whispering.)
“Hey Acino if this is the kitchen then there should be a door to the wine cellar nearby!”
“Hey you’re right! And judging by the wealth of this mansions master then there should be some quality wine!” (Acino)
How long do you know each other to be so in sync?
It doesn’t matter in friendship between men. If you are good friends it doesn’t matter if you know each other for a year or five, you will almost always know what’s on the mind of your friend!
“Are you talking to your system AI right now?” (Acino)
“Yes I am.”
See?
………………….
A minute later we were in the vine cellar. without even looking we stole every bottle in the cellar.
“Should we take barrels too?”
“Are you even asking?” (Acino)
With an evil grin Acino replied to me, on which I replied with my own evil grin.
Leaving completely empty vine cellar behind we sneaked past some servants who were getting ready to leave for bed.
Our next destination was a room on the second floor. As Acino said:
“There are no offices or bedrooms on the first floor in this type of mansion.” (Acino)
On the second floor we made our way past some bedrooms.
The noise from them copulating is annoying.
It doesn’t bother you when you are in the bed with Titania.
Of course it doesn’t! I like my women scream in pleasure! But it annoys me when I hear others at it when I am working.
Correction – stealing.
Same thing.
A few steps further we found an office. Without of a second of hesitation we entered it.
While Acino was fidgeting with a safe, that was behind an expensive painting (which we also took), I was skimming trough everything else. And what I found was some expensive looking paintings, a golden and silver coated pen, a handmade wooden pipe incrusted with three jewels and some interesting books… Okay I didn’t leave a single book on my way.
Why would you take so many books?
It’s one of my dreams to have a large library! You see in my previous world books became unpopular and many people would simply throw them away or burn them and right before the war there were almost no libraries left. I really don’t understand why someone would throw out a book!
(Sadly that’s what happening now in our world. With a coming of information age there are less and less people who read books…)
“Oh! There are some nice things here.” (Acino)
Looks like Acino already opened that safe.
“Hey take those documents too.”
“Eh? Are you planning to black mail him or something?” (Acino)
“No, but it doesn’t hurt to know more.”
“True.” (Acino)
After some few more rooms.
“Ok. Let’s leave. There are no more offices and all of vine and books are gone, also we stripped his treasury empty.” (Acino)
“What are you talking about? A rich bastard like the one who like to show his riches obviously have something like a gallery in his house so he can showoff to his guests! I say we strip this bastard naked of his wealth!”
“You are talking like some evil thief. But you are right!” (Acino)
“You are a thief here…But it’s true that I am evil.”
Coming down to the first floor we searched some rooms until we finally found it.
“Wow…He truly is a rich bastard…”
What we found was a gallery full with expensive painting, statues coated in gold and silver, some adamantium and mithril ores (why would he put them on display rather than using them?), jewels in size of a kid’s fist and some of them were even as large as infants head! But what was most surprising he had tree ancient books here!
“Acino your eyes are shining so bright that you could light up this city in the dead of the nigt.”
“Are you kidding me!? Of course my eyes are shining! This is second richest place that I saw!” (Acino)
“Which is first then?”
“A treasury of one clan that I had “visited”.” (Acino)
Of course we took it all!
Poor rich bastard…You stripped him almost naked!
Damn right we did! No one is allowed to be richer then us!
………………….
A few more minutes and we left the not so wealthy anymore mansion behind.
And at that time I still didn’t know that tonight’s job will lead us to knowing of Tamamo’s life story.

A few minutes and there will be a new chapter! So......BE PATIENT!

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.
