Oh I am here the author, oh and I have some good news and some bad news. Well the good news is that I'm going on vacation and the bad news I'm going to be out of the country so I can't really post any chapters until August the 5th.
Also, I forgot to put the schedule of releases on the last chapter.
Its Monday thru Friday, Daily releases, while on the weekend I can work on my story if i get chance to, cause you know RL is a toll some times. :(
So here is my new chapter
-5:00 PM, Third Sin, 1400-
It’s been three days from that last interaction with our hero, Rain, he is currently in a pit while the previous group is being discipline by a hulking, stocky fellow. Rain is still unconscious.
“So you bring a catatonic person to my chambers, despite all my efforts to waken that guy, he just lays there and snore. Such a buzz kill. Which of you want to relieve my agony by letting me torture you?” said by a man in a chef's whites with toque Blanche but colored black and white like a zebra.
“Sir, as the leader of my group, I would like to take the time to pick the said victi…”, as Thomas said that Toric and Rick threw down a pellet, which caused white smoke that lasted five second. “Well it seems that the pool sunken to one. So Shana you up. Bye bye.”
As Thomas proceeds to walk out the door with haste causing his armor to clink and clank, he heard various screams of agony.

“Ouch… Why does every time in order to wake me you have to deal one hundred damage, can’t you whisper in my ear to wake me or make a damn alarm sound?”
“Well, User you never changed your preferences and the current time is 6:00 AM, fifth sin, 1400.” [ System]
“Oi you can talk back to me and change my wake up procedural to an alarm clock, you know from earth. Also can you change the date to earth type. Hurry up.” As Rain finish his sentence he received a mild shock, “This cheeky thing.”
Rain looking around unable to see within this damp pitch back environment. Moving his hand over the place, occasionally touching poo, but picks up what seems to be a stick.

“What the ****.” Rain drops it as he stumbles all over the place, as he hears a slithering in the wet ground around him. “**** this ****. Hey if you understand me don’t come at me or your dead.”

Misty falls to the ground and pleas, “Please don’t kill me, it’s just you were so tasty. Can’t you blame a girl for trying out a new scrumptious dish.”. Rain looks around to find that femur, completely ignoring the cries of Misty. “I guess it’s time to level up.”
One forceful stab with the bone into the gut of the beast. The moans and cries of Misty’s dying last breath, “I guess master would have the time of his life with you…”

When Rain is in debug mode time runs at 1/100 of the speed, so only a couple seconds pasted. A small orb of light illuminating the surrounding area showing numerous amounts of bones from many species, some unknown, but never less all dead.
“Now how the heck I get out of here?”
“Walk thirty meters to the left and turn you head up 90 degrees to see the exit.” Rain actually turned his head around to look for the source of the then realize it’s in his head, “Is that you, system?” As system answered, “Yes, User.”

By following the instructions, rain came to a conundrum of that the exit which is a man hole cover that is twenty meters high, “How am I going to get out of here?” A split second after that, “User, you should check the Spell Codex, there is a couple spells that can solve this problem.”

With the new spells Rain was uplifted but at the same time annoyed at the before free cost of his macros, now having insane costs. “So what is my health and mana regen?” Answering with a seemly angry attitude,” …5 hp per 5 seconds and 25 mana per 5 seconds, USER.” Rain with a smirk, thinking to himself I guess a machine can get angry. “YES…. I CAN USER.”

As he ascends at a quicker rate than he wanted to instead of doing a superman punch thru the cover, he then instead does a head butt from Pokémon. * Crash*
-The Moment Rain killed Misty-
*Whip* *Whip* “Ahh… I love that sound of leather in the morning.” Said by the unknown man but is objected by another voice, a female one that is in distress, “Um…Sir…It’s…Ah…Mid-day…Rengar” [ Shana]
Rengar winces as a strange feeling surging thru his body, as he greatly reduces in size and power. (Who killed Misty?) “Shana you stay here while I check on our prisoner.” As Rengar briskly walks towards a door, down a winding stairs, Shana sighs in relieve. Unlocking the door to the pit, seconds after that a great crash as the man hole cover flings toward Rengar’s direction, he easily deflects it.
“Who are you?” said in by Rengar and Rain, both equally shocked. As Rain is floating in the air and Rengar is a man of hulking size. Rain descends on the ground, a message is displayed in front of him and at the same time feels incredibly weak.

“Now tell me your name or you will have to taste my whip.” Said by Rengar but as he looks at the plain faced Rain. “One second, why is it so bloody?” Rengar looking at it, “Oh you caught me mid torture so I’m kind of peeved at the moment you. Wait you don’t have the time to ask questions, now answer me boy.”
“Ok… my name is Rain…...” as he said his name Rain got shocked to the point his face turned white as marble, he pointed behind Rengar at a black fog like apparition. “Is there something on my face?” Rengar shouted at Rain, who is shaking his hands around weakly cause of the aura bestowed by Rengar’s Hax0r.

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.
