《Legacy: Lord Alba》Rain
Advertisement
Both Frey and Audrey do not understand the situation, but they followed Alexander's orders anyway, Audrey placed the ten cauldrons where she had previously pointed. Then she proceeded to draw Water from her space ring and poured it into the cauldrons until they were filled to the brim.
Meanwhile, Frey called to the servants of the mansion to begin to fill with blood the patterns, While another group went for the herbs that they had bought today.
While everyone worked, you could see a child eating quietly, ignoring everyone around him. Half an hour later Alexander had finished eating and the servants had finished their chores. Frey wanted them to leave but was stopped by Alexander.
Alexander got up from the floor, turned his head to see Audrey, pointed to a circle in the middle of the room, in front of the hole, and said, "Stand in lotus position inside that circle and pour your qi into it."
Audrey nodded, and walked towards the circle, sat in the lotus position, and began to pour her qi into the patterns.
At this moment everyone in the room was looking curiously at what was going on, and the result did not disappoint them.
Shortly after Audrey poured her qi into the formation, the patterns began to shine, of all colors, Gold, Blue, Green, Red, and quickly spread throughout the room.
Meanwhile in Walter Dunham's mansion
This was one of the few cultivators of the Realm of Gathering qi of the Alba kingdom. He now served Walter in exchange for resources for his offspring.
If one noticed, a few threads of qi were going towards the old man, it was clear that he was cultivating at this time. Suddenly the old man began to frown, But he was not yet enough to interrupt his meditation. But after a few minutes, he opened his eyes in disbelief.

Soon after, footsteps were heard from outside the room, and suddenly the door to the room opened abruptly, and an old man entered the room.
The old man who had just entered saw the old man inside the room and said, "I'm sorry or I've gone mad."
The old man, who owned the room, wasn't angry about the way his roommate came in, I just ignore that, and he said, "You haven't gone mad, the density of qi in the atmosphere has doubled."
This pair of elders were the only cultivators in the Realm of Gathering qi in the capital city, for people who didn't feel that nothing had changed but for them, it was a big shock.
For those who knew the density of qi could not be changed, But it had just happened right now.
The old man who had just entered the room said, "Do you have any idea of the change?"
The other old man shook his head and shook his head, "No, and you?"
The other also shook his head, Sighing said, "But now I would not find it strange that cultivators begin to appear in the Realm of Gathering qi in the Alba Kingdom."
The other Elder nodded to that, As far as he knew, the reason why the powers had large numbers of cultivators in the Realm of Gathering wants the location of them.
Their location was not a mere whim, In the eyes of the ordinary people, these places would have no difference with their houses, but the truth was that the density of qi was higher in those places. Now with the inexplicable change in the capital, this place would not lose with the bases of the powers. So the duo would not find strange the idea that people at the peak of the ninth level of the Realm of body refinement, achieve Advance.

Returning to Frey's mansion
In the room, which Alexander filled with patterns, Audrey was still in the center, But soon the room felt different.
A Maid involuntarily saw for the ceiling and her eyes filled with disbelief, Pointing to the ceiling with her finger, Said: "What is that?!"
When they heard that, they all saw towards the roof, and they put the same face as the maid, Unbelieving, On the roof a ball of blue Gas covering the roof, Many people wanted to run away, When they heard a voice: "Quiet, That Gas is harmless".
That voice, of course, was Alexander.
When Frey heard that he asked: "Third prince, do you know what that is?"
Alexander calmly explained, "That's Qi."
Years ago the king had told him about qi, and how difficult it was to feel it, but now he could even see it with the naked eye. He saw the Gas again and wondered if he was going into the Gas could feel the Qi.
Alexander without seeing Frey, Said: "You are thinking that if you go inside the Gas you will be able to feel the qi, right?"
Seeing that his thoughts were Easily Seen, Frey could not help but be ashamed, Without giving the other side a chance to speak, Alexander shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want to die to try it, maybe you can feel it before you explode."
When I hear that, not just Frey but everyone in the room felt cold sweat on their backs. To think that just entering that Gas, would make them explode.
Frey wanted to ask other questions but very soon he heard the sound of bubbles exploding, He turned his head to see the ten boilers with boiling water, Below these boilers were red patterns heating them.
What surprised everyone was that they were far from the boilers but still felt the heat emanating from them. This seemed incredible to them. Very soon they saw how the water quickly disappeared from the boilers and turned into steam, flying toward the ceiling of the room.
Soon they began to see changes in the roof and realized that the water vapor was fusing with the qi in the form of Gas! The two were not repelling each other but fusing.
After a few minutes of this, they began to see that the gas of qi, it became a cloud, but instead of white, it was light blue, the more water vapor it drank, the darker it became until it reached a point at which, inside the room began to rain.

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.
