《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 24: The new training hall
Advertisement
"Brother Ash, since when did we have a training hall?" [Elise]
"Since last night" [Ash]
"Just how!" [Rean]
"Can you tell me more about it Brother Ash! How do you build this training hall?" [Karon]
While the other are bewildered by the fact that we have a new training hall, Karon on the other hand, seems excited, not because of the training hall itself, but more towards how the building were made
"Short answer: Earth magic, long answer, I have come across some unique materials during my time as a traveller, those materials are used to make a pretty sturdy building, so I studied it for a while, and by applying this knowledge I make this building" [Ash]
A total lie, but I can't just answer them that I got interested in so many things as a child and so I searched the internet for the answer, there's no way I can say that
"Please teach me!" [Karon]
"Sure, but after you become proficient in earth magic, and also after you have a large mana pool like I am" [Ash]
"I'll train hard!" [Karon]
It rare for the quiet Karon to show much enthusiasm, so let support him with everything that I have
Claude then begins a mini tour inside the training hall, yup just a brief and short tour, showing the changing room, the bathroom as well as the training place
"To think that this hall itself have toilet!" [Adventure]
"?" [Ash]
(What's he talking about? Even the inn that we stay the other day has one, so surely their house have one as well, or could it be that I am the ignorance one? I mean even back on earth, some part of the world still don't have access to toilet) [Ash]
Well, after the brief tour by Claude, it's time for the main event, well, let just show them what this training hall is capable of! Let just go and demonstrate it to them
"Housey, give me a hundred of normal zombies" [Ash]
"..- -. -.. . .-. ... - --- --- -.." [Housey]

As Housey begin to glow in light, the spawning block react to Housey mana, and in no time, a hundred zombies instantly pop out near the spawning block
"That is!" [Ram]
"So many zombies" [Samurai Jacks]
And since it is just a normal zombie, there's really nothing much to it, so
"He massacred them all in an instant!" [Mimi]
"Brother Ash are strong!" [Charlotte]
"And next, how about give me 10 fire zombies, 10 water zombies, and 5 giant zombies" [Ash]
"..- -. -.. . .-. ... - --- --- -.." [Housey]
Ans once again, those zombies spawn from the Spawning Block before once again being massacre and turn into loot for me
"..." [Everyone]
(Now Claude!) [Ash]
"As you can see, the training hall have been integrated as part of the fortress defense magic, meaning that Housey here can control the difficulty level of the training, as well as providing safe measure should those who train here find themselves in a pinch situation. Unfortunately as of now, Housey only managed to simulate a horde of B rank zombies subjugation request on his own, and if he wanted to simulate an A rank subjugation request, Ash needs to be there to help, but it will cause unnecessary stress to Housey so we wouldn't want that to happen. And again, unfortunately, for now we only have the Zombie Spawning Block, but we planned on expanding it in the near future" [Claude]
"..." [Everyone]
(Nice follow up Claude!) [Ash]
They really are speechless, so let us move on to the second phase of our short tour
"Syah, how about you go next?" [Ash]
"Wait, actually, can I be the one testing it?" [Samurai Jacks]
"Sure Mr Samurai, it's all yours, but first, Housey, can you collect the loot?" [Ash]
".-.. . .- ...- . / .. - / - --- / -- ." [Housey]
And with that, all the loot are instantly translocated into one of the many loot corners of the hall, well, I will explain to them later, maybe Claude will be the one doing the explanation

"Housey right? Can you give me 10 giant zombies, and is there any healer zombie? If there are please give me 10 of those as well" [Samurai Jacks]
"..- -. -.. . .-. ... - --- --- -.." [Housey]
And at the samurai request, 10 giants and healers zombies were spawn, the samurai took some time to clear them out, mainly because the healers zombie started to learn which zombies need to be prioritized for healing, so they corporate among themselves (and honestly I didn't even know they are capable of such feat). Still, I can tell that the samurai is actually strong.
"What rank is he?" [Ash]
"Jacks? He's a B rank adventure" [Alice]
"I see" [Rean]
And once he's done, the loot were once again, translocated to the loot corner, and
"What is this detail drawings?" [Samurai Jacks]
Housey handed over the photos it took during Jacks training session
"Let me explain, those are called photos, being made by using light magic, Housey will take those photos during the training session whenever it felt that the trainer make some mistake. That way, they can reflect on their training session even more" [Claude]
"I see, such wonderful item" [Samurai Jacks]
Well then, onto the last part of this tour
"I thought of opening this training hall for everyone, I will of course charge some small fee as to cover the mainteinance cost as well as the cost of paper for the photo magic. After the payment, they can freely use the facilities available here for an hour, and here come the good parts" [Ash]
"!?" [Everyone]
(Oh, looks like I managed to attract their attention even more, good!) [Ash]
"See those loots over there? They are all yours if you manage to defeat the zombie, however, we will take a very small percentage of the cash, around 5% of the total cash should they decide to sell it to any merchant, or directly to the merchant guild or adventure guild" [Ash]
"Ho... looks like we have the same idea" [Gizzere]
"What happen if we decided not to sell it, like can we use the potion drop by those zombies?" [Lin]
"Feel free to do that" [Ash]
"Ash, just a question, how do you plan on collecting the 5% cash? And what if someone decides not to pay those 5%" [Diana]
"I believe that's where this logo came into play, when Housey translocated the loot, Housey also put the orphanage logo into the loot, that way any merchant will know it's a product from the orphanage. Since every transaction needed to be submitted to the merchant guild at the end of each month, the merchant guild will then notify either Claude or me, and we can then collect the 5% cash. Lastly, should they decide not to pay us those 5%, then I will simply ban them from using the training hall" [Ash]
"Interesting, well there are few finer details to discuss, but I like the rough idea of it" [Gizzere]
"Are you free now, we can discuss them straight away while Claude will handle the training session for the other adventure" [Ash]
"Sure" [Gizzere]
"Can I join the both of you, this seems interesting?" [Diana]
"Why not?" [Ash]
And with that, the three of discuss the usage of the training hall. At the end of the day, we decided to charge the loot based on how much the adventure made and accordingly applying the rate of either 1%, 3% or 5% since there might be a case where the adventure simply make too little out of the loot. Diana also ask whether the soldier and knight of Estel country can use this facility. Well, as long as they doesn't cause any problems and respect those children of mine, I don't see why not, though the Rude Captain and those who behave like him are total no. There are also some issues that we can think of that may arise in the future, but for now, Gizzere advice me to just wait and see
"Still, I didn't even know the orphanage had their own logo" [Diana]
"Well, it just the pictures of all of us together, it's actually a last minute idea" [Ash]
The logo? Picture of those children with me, Claude, Behe and Housey. Who knows, maybe I will change it in the future

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
