《Legacy: Lord Alba》Chapter 22: The king is crazy
Advertisement
During the following days Alexander lived like a normal baby, Sometimes he played with his sisters and sometimes with his grandparents, While Audrey and Anna were training, Thanks to Alexander giving directions to Audrey during the nights, her and his mother's Cultivation Increased very quickly. But since the two were cultivating from the beginning, the people around them did not notice the changes in their cultivation.
An average person has a certain limit to their strength, after breaking that limit, they can reach the first stage of body refinement, suppose an average person has a limit of 50 Pounds of strength, but when he reaches the first stage of body refinement, their strength increases to 100 pounds and when he advances to the next stage his strength increases by 50 pounds for each stage until the third stage, from fourth to the sixth stage his strength increases by 100 pounds for each stage and from seventh to the ninth stage it'll increase by 200 pounds for each stage, so the strength of a person at the peak of the ninth stage of body refinement is 1100 pounds he can defeat 22 ordinary people all by himself without breaking a sweat!
But due to the cultivation technique, his mother and Audrey become invincible within the same cultivation level, as with their cultivation technique they received twenty percent more strength than others without cultivation techniques. Alexander could give them a better cultivation technique but he thought about the future, if he gives them a treasure coveted by all they may end up dead, besides that "Six Animal forms" was created only to be used in the Realm of body refinement, due to that it was classified as Low-rank technique, but when it comes to refining the body it's the best technique available, Many treated this technique as garbage, but in the eyes of Alexander, who spent more than a thousand years researching techniques, saw through its depth and deduced the real motive of the creator, which was only to lay deep foundations for the following Realms.

Because of this, he gave this technique to this pair of women, with this technique their subsequent cultivation will be much smoother than others even if they do not have any Open Seals.
Everything was normal, time went by, until two weeks later, Something unexpected happened, The Queen and the First Prince had disappeared, When the king found out about it he became furious, this was a great shame to have his wife and son kidnapped from his own palace, he could not let this be made public, If not where his face would be, He would have no face to give to his people and even less to his father-in-law!
So, he ordered everyone to keep this matter a secret and not to be spread, If anyone spoke of the disappearance, Then he and his whole family would be executed, The king to give the same order twice, seeing the situation of the king, they sighed and remained silent. He then later ordered to close the capital, not a person leaves or enters the city.
During the next two days, the king secretly ordered to search throughout the capital, it did not matter if it was a powerful gang of the underworld or a noble family, everyone who was a suspect was sent to prison, and then interrogated. During these searches, several criminals were found and investigated regards to addition networks of these people and many other things, but as we are a family friendly novel we will not say it.
The king upon hearing of these cases sent to execute his minister of justice and his chief knight, These two were linked to several cases of corruption, In addition to other nobles and corrupt merchants who were uncovered, These actions of the king were too unexpected , they did not have time to hide, During those two days they were hell for the corrupt nobles, Hundreds of heads were cut off, While the plebeians did not know what was happening but when they saw those noblemen being executed, they felt that there was justice in this world. Some even knelt and shouted to the sky with happiness. the day they thought it would never come, has arrived.

The King was too angry, He found everything in his Capital minus his wife and son, Then he took his search to the whole Kingdom, During the next ten days, it same thing as in the Capital repeated In each and every City hundreds of cases were found of corruption, Among other things, All the corrupt were executed publicly in their respective cities. This was known as "The twelve-day purge." It did not matter if he was a powerful noble or a village chief, everyone who had committed a crime was executed on the king's orders. Those days hundreds of thousands of heads were cut off.
For the plebeian this made them see the king in a new light, This king was a righteous man for them, This was how he won the approval of the plebeians and their loyalty. but at that time the king was not interested in all that, he was crazy looking for his wife and son.
Meanwhile in a tavern somewhere inside Empire Sail.
Several hooded people entered the tavern, within the group there were two elderly, two middle-aged men, three middle-aged women, and three children. They found a place to sit and asked for food, While they ate, They heard something interesting from two men who were talking.
"Hey, have you heard that the king of the Alba Kingdom went crazy" hearing that a middle-aged woman in that group trembled.
"Crazy, I have not heard anything, why?"
"so you didn't know, I heard that twelve days ago, the king ordered to search every nook and cranny of his kingdom looking for something, apparently someone must have stolen a treasure or something. "

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.
