[ Inizio!: His Thoughts]
Old merchant POV:
"u-umm...Hello....?"
standing in front of me-
Look's like a kid that is no less than 10 years old
you're in the wrong place boy...
was what I wanted to tell him but...
oh well let's entertain him for now
"Oh Young man! I Welcome ya' to My little but humble Business of running this---[Unique Item Store]!!!"
Being a Child he Is maybe he's just here to ask for things or beg but judging by his Clothes he Seems to be a fallen lost noble...
"Umm...Excuse me Jii-san but how much are you willing to pay for these Monster Drops I have on hand If I sell these~!
oh? I expected him to be a little shy and just a random kid with no manners but...why does it seem like he's acting like an adult already at this age...
let's keep at it on the Crazy old man act for now
"Ya'r one strange kid ya look like one but ya'r strangely mature for your age.....too mature...Gyahahaha who cares I'm not gonna ask as long as ya'r a customer That's all what matters!"
"I see thank you for Understanding..."
"don't mind it young'un so what things do ya' have~"
being the kid he is , maybe he's just gonna pull out some random twig or act Like he found some oh so Important stone or treasure near a legendary river or somethin'
well even if he tries to trick me there's something he doesn't know yet...
that is him not knowing that I have The Skill
[Appraisal]
I try telling him various random things just so that he could just give up and maybe leave but then...
he started spreading out some really unbelievable stuff
[Cinghiale Leather 6X]
[Cinghiale Tusk 12x]
[Gemstone 6x]
w-what the hell?
did this kid just seriously show these drops so casually to me?
"ohh yer seem to have plenty of good stuff on ya' eh~"
"er-ermm yes I just actually found them lying around in the outskirts of a forest"
"they seem to cost for about [10 gold coins]"
he just silently nods without hesitating and thinking it through
then after buying these item's from him just for [10 gold coins] with him not knowing that I scammed him
normally these things sell for a higher price on [Guild Taverns] and I just bought these materials that could sell for Twice the pay I gave him...kuku what a sucker
oh man I really hit it big this time maybe it was that luck was finally getting on my side kekeke
maybe I should try my luck a little bit more
"hey Young'un here! my Recommendation for you is to buy this [Gold ring] for just [50 Silver Coins] ya' know"
"sure! Let me buy it please!"
yeah...no matter how mature he acts as long as you show any youngster some gold or jewelry they would Instinctively think that it's found from a treasure chest or somethin'
but t'me this was just useless junk thrown from the sidelines of a random rich bastard
Even my [Appraisa] Skill doesn't work on it despite it being an [Accessory type] so what's the loss I could even get right?
after him buying more things-
[Sold]
[Iron Throwing Knives 15x] for [150 Silver Coins] / [1 gold and 50 Silver]
[Sold]
[Black Leather Throwing Knives Bandolier 3X] which I sold him for free [1X] bargain every [Throwing Knives 5X] he buy's

A monster...
---------------
[ Coro!: Amigo?]
Gray/Matsuri POV:
*yawns~*
"oh man Im getting sleepy...I think I ate too much Of the Boar skewer I made using the seasonings from the [Basic Cooking Ingredients]~"
2 days later after continuing my journey I am right now in a deep part of [Topazio] Kingdom's dark forest
with the Dusk colored night sky...
the crows cawing left and right...
red and purple eyes glowing and peeking out from the bushes and trees...
if a normal person were to walk through here
they would have already pissed or shitted their pants out of fear
but not for me though
what's really scary is not having anything to eat
but...well maybe I am a little Intimidated with this tense atmosphere
this is already my 12th day in this world and I make sure to Work out everyday and eat healthily to be physically fit so if there would be a high rated monster I am confident to run and hide with how little my stature is right now
"grrrr"
oh?
ahead of me is a silver skinned wolf cornering a cute white little bunny trembling due to fear
[Silver Wolf]
- [2 Star]
- The 2nd form of normal Wolves - Drops Item's such as It's Hide and Teeth which are plenty useful materals for creating [Weapons-Wardrobe-Accessory] type Equipments
"ahhh~ reality sure is harsh"
I change directions on where I walk at and turn away from that sight
it's just normal for predators to hunt prey and prey to be hunted by predators
it's just the circle of life...
*whimpers*
*growling*
ahhhh...mouuuu
come on really now!
I ran back towards the direction of the Bunny and Wolf then Hastenly pulled out 6 of the [Iron Thowing Knives] from both my waist with 3 of them on hold for both hands
"Im not some hero or protagonist of this story you know!"
Advertisement
man I wonder~ How the Protagonist's would have felt seeing that scene of the Wolf and Bunny that I wanted to avoid in the first place
well of course he's just gonna jump in there to stupidly protect something without any plans beforehand and just Win right afterwards
I mean how can you die ,You're the Protagonist!
but not for me though Im just some random kid here being transported in this world!
Everyday I worry and shiver of the thought that Not even knowing If I can even get the chance to see the sunrise and live tomorrow!
Im just an Anomaly ok! Why is this world seriously too harsh on me!
(ooooh author I see what U did there)
but As I thought of it , If I don't move Now...
then when will I?
"Koraaa!!!"
I made a fighting stance threw with both my hands forming a cross (X) facing the wolf with six [Iron throwing Knives] on hand
"w-wha!?"
but damn , the silver wolf nimbly dodged all six of them with no problem and started glaring at me then dashed forward coming in straight at me...
damn it why did I even Scream while making an ambush it's not like shouting a battle cry would make me stronger...
unlike some monkey dude wearing an orange outfit that change hairstyles the longer he screams...damn that anime making me watch it and made me think it looked cool! (XD nice author)
I Grabbed my Item Pouch and pulled out A
[Fire Magic Rune] with my left hand then crushed it
now my left hand has [Burn magic] covering my finger's with flames
for I trained this each day, days ago when I learned that I had a very Small mana capacity that is actually even lower than an infant! such bullshit trash tier Body of mine!
it was smaller than the normal's of the norm
then I thought...
why not use ready made magic
and where to get ready made magic?
from [Magic Rune]'s of course
and so I tried out different types of training regimens to completely make up for my lower than lowest of the low [Low Mana Capacity] (pain humu-humu)
which led me to this day's event
"to think it would be this helpful right now...Good thing I trained with it"
While my control may still be far from perfect I had another trump card when it came to [Magic]
"Ikuyoo!!!"(lets go!)
and so I Used my right hand to make a peace sign on my left eye just then...
[Skill]!
[Chuuni eyes of the rosa Color]!
[Activate]!
The flames that were on my fingers suddenly grew into a palm size one that could fit another fist in my hand
while posing like an idiot chuuni may seem embarassing , it was not the time to think like that right now
I grabbed another throwing knife from my waist and clapped both my hands holding the [Burn Magic] and the [Iron Throwing Knife]
"it's my first time doing this but luckily the wiki that I remember said that there was a heroine that used physical weapons but dealt magic damage"
The Throwing Knife's blades turned red and it was now covered with flames from the [Burn Magic]
but the wolf...it was just right infront of me with a single step between me and him and my Skill [Chuunibyou Eyes of the Rosa Color] unactivating
as it was about to bite my head off
I nimbly stabbed it's jaw quicker than it can react with the knife hitting it's jaw from below
*Screeching growl*
it was too fast for me to see but apparently the little bunny helped me as it nibbled on the wolf's tail before it could Knaw my head off
"Oh little guy are you gonna help me?"
"munyu munyu"
as it made nibbling sounds while nodding up and down- he jumped onto my Slender shoulders
"heh- naisu then my Amigo! after this let's eat a lot! I still have a lot of strawberries on me anyway fufu~ but for now..."
as the wolf still kept growling at us while the burning knife was still stuck on its mouth from below , I Can't even Imagine the pain that it's going through right now
it dashed at us but with a slower pace of speed again
"no need to move my friend heheh I got this"
the bunny looked at me while tilting his head to the right wondering what im about to do...
I took out 4 [Iron Throwing Knives] the last 3 on my waist then another one on my right thigh
as I mumbled-
"Wind Magic Rune"
it flashingly popped out from my item pouch and as if the bunny knew what I was thinking
*Jump*
He grabbed it and nibbled as it broke and there a strong gust of wind swirled through from behind us
as if being summoned by the God's themselves , it arrived like a miracle
but it was a miracle that was created by our own not some divine being
the wind's strong force halted the wolf's nimble movements and made him slower
"Chance!!!"
I immediately threw the 4 Throwing knives that were on hold while their speed were boosted by the gushes of wind coming from behind us
there was no way it could survive a barrage that had a speed that was flashing as fast as it was of a blink of an eye
*whimpers........*
as it got hit on 4 different vital spot's it finally went down
[Level up]!
[Gray Dè Bernardò]
Level:5
[Drops]
- [Silver Wolf Fang 1X]
"..."
"..."
as both me and the bunny stared at each other for a couple of seconds
"yosha!!!!!"
*Hops Happily*
we both celebrated our victory together as if we've known each other for a very long time
it was a nice feeling to know that in this world there was atleast someone who understood me ,even if it was just in our first meeting!
That's already plenty amazing no?
"ah crap"
just realizing it now i've seem to have exhausted all my mana and mental stability
sitting myself down and giving the bunny a strawberry to chew on I asked it...
"hey lil guy...wanna come on a journey with me?"
as soon as I said that...it jumped off of my shoulders and went to someplace for who know's where
"I see...You still have your own place to belong to huh...I guess this is Goodbye then"
It hopped away without looking back holding the strawberry I gave him
It was fun but atleast I learned that I Could trust someone even in this world for keeping watch and had my back
after resting for a while I decided to move out of the dark forest to continue on to the town near [Topazio] Kingdom

[Finito!:Her Majesty's Prologue]
Princess Beatrice POV:
why did this have to happen to me...
"huff...huff"
I just don't get the reason why...
"huff..."
a princess such as I...
"gyahahahayahaya"
have to suffer like this...
Right now I [Beatrice Un'Dè Giallo] am getting chased By 3 ugly small green creatures holding bones as clubs that has brown leather cloth covering their groins with weird peircings for decorations on their ear and tongue's sticking out laughing maniacally
yes they are creatures that are called [Goblins]
"kyaaa!"
I accidentally tripped on a rock while running and stand up again as fast as I could but a [Goblin] caught up to me and caught my feet then started draggin me to who know's where...No...I wont yield!
"Gyahahah-kuhk!!!"
I kicked the face of the [goblin] that was holding my feet and started running again
but this time the goblins behind me weren't laughing...they were drive by rage by the one who kicked the one in the middle that seemed to be their leader
As I ran as fast as I can with teardrops swiffling down my eyes...
I see a purple light shining brightly straight my way
I ran forward that light that seemed to be some kind of hope in this scary dark forest
as I arrived on where it was...
I see a big purple egg with black veins that made it look like it was bulging as if throbing and telling me it's breathing
lying on a big open field surrounded by big tree's sitting in the middle of it all...alone
I was despaired as to know that the faint hope of light I saw led me to an unexpected trap
I checked the surroundings with blurry eyesight because of my teary eyes
But I couldn't find anything nor any way to escape the upcoming terror that was just behind me
as the [goblins] now caught up to me
"n-no get back!!!"
"kakakaka~"
"gyakekakeka~"
"gyakkekeka~"
their laughs with a smile that terrified me whenever I see them broke my will to stay standing and made me broke down on my knee's before them
I guess this is it...
this was all my fault...
father wanted me to have strength to at least protect myself but I didn't listen...
"Hic I-im so Sorry Uuuuu- papa...save me..."
as I was about to get hit by their leader's bone club-
"fwoooosh"
a boy with black hair and a long black capelike robe that reached his legs swaying cooly with the air was standing before me with him turning his back against me protecting me from the impending doom known as [Goblins]
I'm Saved...
...My...Hero...
*faints*

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.
