《Military Summoning System in the Medieval Apocalyptic World》Blaze Of Glory
Advertisement
Ferdinand dashed forwards knowing that if he falters he’d be in big trouble. Ferdinand took a glance at his sides to see multiple walkers closing on him. Ferdinand carefully aimed his pistol while running, to which he silently clicked the trigger to which a thunderous sound came. The bullet of the gun traveled at a blistering speed, hitting a bullseye to the spinal cord. The walker that got shot immediately fell down and finally died. Seeing their comrade fell down, the other walkers that were chasing Ferdinand let out an angry growl and were more agitated.
As the battle was happening, more and more high leveled walkers joined in on the chase as distinguished because they were running. Seeing the increasing walkers that were hunting him, Ferdinand checks the shop once again for grenades. Ferdinand didn’t know how to use most of the grenades that were listed, until he finally found the grenade that he knows of, the Mark 1 Stick Hand Grenade, which was used only by the Imperial Federation. Ferdinand had enough points to buy a few sticks of grenade, and so he did. Ferdinand had 2000 points and each stick of grenade cost 400 points, so he immediately bought 5 of them.
Almost immediately, a bright blue light appeared at the hands of Ferdinand, and there it was: a Mark 1 Stick Hand Grenade. Ferdinand furiously removed the click and threw it at his back. One after another he spent up most of his grenades and then thunderous explosion came again and again. This time his points were racking up once again, now he had a measly amount of points totaling on about 2700 Points. Ferdinand then immediately go to the shop once again and bought the Mark 1 Automatic Rifle, the first ever automatic rifle in the Imperial Federation used in the war against the Confederation of the States. Looking back at the system interface, Ferdinand couldn’t help but feel grateful to the tech tree giving out the standard weapons of the Imperial Federation. Because if it didn’t, then he’s doom would already be set in stone.

Ferdinand couldn’t also help but marvel around the various weapons that were locked in technology tree. Because it also seems that the system itself made improvements on the weapons. Ferdinand’s heart couldn’t help but jump in joy knowing that there would be more advance weaponry for him to play with in the future.
Ferdinand then tried to find a suitable spot to mow down the coming walker as he needs to get a breather. Ferdinand had just spent 2000 points just to get the Mark 1 Automatic Rifle and another 500 points just for one magazine for it. The Mark 1 Automatic Rifle has a total amount of round that is about 100 rounds, so Ferdinand had to make each bullet count.
After what took like an endless amount of time, Ferdinand had already found a suitable spot to take a breather while mowing down the walkers. Ferdinand hadn’t looked back for a while now, but when he looked back, it surprised him to see that the walkers were now clumping up together, as they battle out who’s gonna get to him first. Which made his life easier. Ferdinand then hopped on a hole and place his Mark 1 Automatic Rifle and carefully but gracefully aiming down the sights, then after what took like ages, the earth grumbled as multiple bullets whizzed out of the Mark 1 Automatic Rifle. Making each bullet count, many walkers fell down to their knees.
Each time Ferdinand ran out of ammo, he immediately buys a new magazine. His points spiraled upwards, as it is now continuously increasing and increasing. Unfortunately for Ferdinand, a walker got past his kill zone and was now on a melee combat with Ferdinand. The walker scratched sideways, which was skillfully avoided by Ferdinand, to which he retaliated by bringing out his knife and slashing down the neck of the walker.

After finishing the walker that got past his kill zone, when Ferdinand was about to grab the Mark 1 Automatic Rifle, he was shocked that there were walkers now that were about to jump in his hole. So Ferdinand had to only grind his teeth and stashed his Mark 1 Automatic Rifle in the spatial inventory. Ferdinand now had brought out his knife and pistol and immediately fired on the walkers that were now about to jump on him. After firing, he climbed out of the hole before he was overwhelmed. Ferdinand now has a measly amount of points that totals to about 5800 Points.
Ferdinand then dashed for his life, while carefully firing his pistol. That way he is slowly but surely is gaining more points again. It was now getting darker and darker as the moon was now losing its brightness as the mountains were now covering it. Ferdinand is now at a bottleneck. How’s he gonna take advantage of his armaments when he can’t see? Just then, Ferdinand had a glorious idea. What if he just created the light himself? Ferdinand then suddenly remembered that back in the Imperial Federation, there was an experimental weapon, they call it the flamethrower. Ferdinand then immediately checked the shop and there it was, the Mark 1 Flamethrower that was supposed to be used in the offensive that he was taking part in before he disappeared or died.
Ferdinand then immediately bought it, but damn it was so expensive it cost him 5000 points and another 1000 points just for a single fuel that should last about for a minute. Ferdinand bought it and almost immediately, a bright light came to his front and on his back. It was very warm, and he was pleased with it. So, Ferdinand, according to his memory, to fire a gun you press the trigger, so it should be the same for a flamethrower, and what do you know, he was right on the bullseye, as the flames came out of the barrel of the weapons and it spewed out towards the surroundings and into the walkers. The screams of the walkers filled the air as smokes billows through the clouds.
Ferdinand thought that this was a glorious idea of his, oh how wrong he was.

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.
