《Final Realms - New World》Neo-Human, Demi-god
Advertisement
The education in the reinstated society wasn't the same as it used to be. Humans believed in logic and theory, sciences and arithmetic. Yet, they didn't require propositions of these assumptions in this rebuilt society.
Since humans achieved the ability of god alike, they began to learn the basics of mystic art. It was to make a better place, a peaceful world with proper guidance on using these powers for the greater good.
On the other hand, Cynthia and Rin's origin makes them unrivaled to those neo-humans. They were natural-born talented in mastering those mystic arts. But to avoid other people's surmise, they had no other choice but to conceal their identity and be part of neo-human society.
"So, what basic stuff does our homeroom teacher want to teach us today?" Cynthia asked. She turned her body around, opposed Rin's direction while leaning her back on the barricade, her arms crossed while waiting for the reply.
"I can't say nothing out of the ordinary. This week's assignment was about taming the fire element. I need some enlightenment since I'll be sure to mess up with my wind element. It's like adding fuel into the fire, one wrong move, I might burn the whole school to an ashes ground," Rin replied in timid, giggling over her frailty. Knowing her weakness will be a crack joke to everyone, as her natural element was the wind, a natural enemy to fire.
"Your father is a god of fire. How come you, as a princess of the heavenly realm, can't even manipulate the fire element?" Cynthia says as she chuckles over her word. She couldn't believe that the daughter of both masters of wind and fire element couldn't even manipulate one of her natural-born elements.
"Please don't tease me, nana. I didn't get to see my father for almost sixteen years. My mother was the only one who honed my natural-born ability element. Somehow, with my father absent in my growth, she also had a hard time guiding me on how to manipulate those fires element."

"Sixteen years..." Cynthia pulled a sigh in the middle of her sentences.
"Time sure does fly fast. In a blink of an eye, we could see a lot of changes in this town," Cynthia indirectly replied to her sister. She blinked her eyes a few and stared right at the view of the entire town, filled with a double-story building slowly rebuilt with a neon sign that was barely visible in the daylight.
"Sometimes, I am truthfully envious of you—the fire, water, wind, wood, ground, and even dark and light elements. You've mastered every one of them since three years ago. All are almost completely dancing under your palm. Could you at least lend me your wisdom to your miserable sister?" Rin speaks out her manner in a childish way. At the same time, her hand repeatedly pulled Cynthia's sleeve, showing her affection and adorable cute face.
Cynthia didn't bother to phrase her reply. Instead, she feels annoyed as she didn't want to recall the past on how she managed to control all those elements at a young age. She wished not to become extraordinary, but those talents came in with many prices she'd sacrificed.
When her parent drew a truce with the Creator of Life to save humanity, Cynthia's parents had decided to leave her when she was only three years old.
Her parents possessed a complete opposite element. Her mother was a princess from the world of the gods, while her father was a prince of the demonic underground world. They deeply fall in love and struggle their way out of this nonsensical grudge between two domains. They both have fought out of this war that lasted for centuries before they could unite and conceive Cynthia in this reboot world.
Creator of Life opposed their decision and calmly invoked them to adhere to his demand. He separated them to a completely different path in this vast universe to avoid collision between two opposed energy. Before Cynthia's parents can settle down with everyday life, misfortune strikes back hard into their fate.

Even if three realms have merged into reality, the balance between dark and light should draw their line. Suppose humanity makes the same blunder and falls back into the gulf of darkness. There shouldn't be any significant ancient entity that can induce neo-human to spark a new feud that may lead to the same path as before the world end.
Although Rin's mother offered her hospitality toward this unfortunate child, Cynthia chose to wander around since she was twelve. Her intelligence is beyond comparison to anyone around her age, and she was a prodigy who could comprehend any situation calmly. Thus, she had to live her life independently during her childhood without the warmth of a family.
By the time they had this conversation at the school's rooftop, she was already in her age of seventeen years old. Aside from her melancholy life, mastering the fundamental element seems too effortless for her, as she can recite a deadly spell that could be powerful enough to destroy this town instantly.
On the other hand, Rin's father, who has been absent in her life, followed Cynthia's parent's footsteps and willingly heeded the invocation due to his fate as the next successor in ruling the Heavenly realm. His power was equal to the former ruler of Heavenly and Demon realms, where he possessed an ability to replace the image of this world as he desired.
Rin's father remained calm and sane while having Rin and her mother by his side. However, the Creator of Life was unconcerned with persuading her father to steer clear from repeating the same mistake of their past.
Thus, three essential characters took part in depositing this new world. The consequences? The younger generation, like Cynthia, had to live her life in a silent depression, and Rin lived her life without the warmth of her father.

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.
