Greetings!
Its September which is almost autumn where I live, autumn is my favourite season as it's not too hot nor is it too cold. The best part are the golden, bronze, hues of reds and oranges that can be seen through out on trees; it warms my soul! You know that feeling when you can feel a light breeze, but the sun still shines down with warmth that wraps your skin and balms it with loving vitamin D? No? Is that just me? Lol, OKAY! But you’re not here to read my babbles consisting of autumn coz I can go on and on, ohh no, no, no! You’re here for the tea! Before that though, I’d like to say I’m really grateful to you for taking time out of your lives and reading Placebo Effect, thank you! I know I haven’t been releasing consistently, so I’m even more grateful that you continue to read on!

So lets get it!
“Errrhmm…”
Pardon my etiquette, I mean let’s get into this!
So, this is my first time writing an authors note, but I thought it was essential that I needed to put together a kind of keywords info page that will help with reading Placebo Effect. There has been a few keywords mentioned and I would like to think its nice to have a page every now and then of important words that appear often as well as character info. Something thats easy to refer back to u’know?

7C | 7th Cyclone
A cyclone hidden behind a thick door, you can refer back to Chapter | 2.0 | COMMS TERMINATED.
Film
A second skin that seems to help walk through objects as well as sharpen weapons. (Refer back to Chapter | 3.0 | RUN) Not much more is known currently.
Characters
Youth | Young Man | ???
A youth/young man who seems to have a debt complex. It’s his first time experiencing winter as he’s said that her prefers the autumn season, he’s also said continuously that he wishes for a simple life. He was told by Zad that his only redeemable feature is aesthetically pleasing sex.
Skills | The young man used a skill called Film to walk through a colossal door, it involves covering his exterior with a second skin allowing him to navigate through the inside of the door. He has also used a blade hidden in his tie that became sharp once his film wrapped around it. You can see these skills being used in Chapter | 3.0 | RUN
Career | Further information is currently unknown.
Zad
A black cab taxi driver with a cockney accent who has an agreement with the youth to exchange information.
Skills | He showed an interesting skill called {Comms Terminated} in Chapter | 2.0 | COMMS TERMINATED. It looked like it cuts off internal and external communications making whatever said in confidence remaining between the parties involved. His cab uses a unique skill that veils itself invisible to onlookers. He was seen flicking his wrist to reveal 5 symbols on his arm in earlier chapters.
Career | A black cab driver Zad’s second job involved “clients” that do business within and perhaps beyond the Swallow. He has told the youth that “Ma clients don’t feel too “com-for-ta-ble” doin’ business these days... You know what I mean?”

We’ll sheesh! Did things just get hot in here again?? Lol I know there isn’t that many keywords, however there is SO much more exciting things to come in the novel that I’m literally jumping for joy as I type this! Like seriously, this novel hasn’t even touched the surface yet! I think that adding all the keywords and their meanings without the context of the story would only ruin what we have going at this point, but not to worry there is more to come and all will make sense!
Regarding the updates I’ll be honest, I think I jumped the gun saying I’ll release every 2-3 days. I won’t be able to, I’m sorry!! ｍ（。≧ _ ≦。）ｍ
I think once every 14 days, but I’ll keep try to at least get 2 chapters every fortnight. I don’t have a specific schedule so you may find additional chapters appear randomly; please do keep a look out.
Recently I’ve got a new job (≧▽≦) I’ve been looking into writing full time so I made sure to do less hours, however it’ll take a while I won’t bull shit you. It being the Christmas period I gotta get that overtime check; you know if they’re throwing the monies I’ll be more than happy to oblige. ☆=(ゝω·)/
Well, I’ve babbled enough. I know some of you may be like ┻━┻ ︵ ¯\_༼ᴼل͜ᴼ༽_/¯ ︵ ┻━┻ however seriously just knowing the novel is being read is empowering, words cannot express the gratitude I feel! So as always, THANK YOU for your continued support and happy reading.
~ What was written above was in September I forgot to schedule this A.N and the new release! Also, tbh I haven't gone past chapter 5 yet!

(๑•́ ₃ •̀๑) Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry
m(_ _)m
༎ຶ‿༎ຶ I started a new job in October so I’ve been consumed with work since then, however it's a seasonal role ~ that means if my contract isn’t extended in January I’ll be jobless! (If you don want me than don’t talk to me ~ go ahead and free yourself~~~) (☝◞‸◟)☞ lol if you know the song!
╥﹏╥ I’m currently looking for new work as there’s no guarantee my contract will be extended, however this also allows the possibility of writing full time with your support.
˶⚈Ɛ⚈˵ I’m considering starting a PayPal or Patreon, if thats something you would be interested in! What kind of awards, prizes, characters would you be intrigued by? I’ll discuss it more in the next authors notes as well as review the pole!
(∩^o^)⊃━☆゜.* ALSO ~ I’ve recently made a website! Check it out on CommonScrolls.com
As always, THANK YOU for your continued support! Happy READYEAR! (READING/YEAR)

Joie de Vivre
A modern man chased immortality and found it. In a mixture of good and bad luck, he was re-born as part of the Uzumaki clan from the Naruto-verse, some few years before their scheduled destruction. But if Daichi were the sort to allow a little thing like fate to get in his way, he'd never have survived in the first place. Dedicated, intelligent, chock full of ideas from a technologically advanced society, and perfectly willing to scorch the earth, he sets out to avert history. Can he avert canon, save the Uzumaki, and forge his people into a mighty nation? Or will he fail, dooming his clan to extinction? At the end of the day, all he wants is a good life. And considering even Death itself didn't stop him, he pities whoever gets in his way. ================== Tags: Naruto, Reincarnation, OC, eventual multi-cross. ================== Author's (Brief) Note: Back by popular demand. This was my first significant fanfic (and fic in general). I wasn't happy with the writing as time went on, and took it down, but years later am still getting requests to put it back up so I guess some people liked it. Newly re-released as I finish some minor editing, there are about 100,000 words (~360 RRL pages) already written, so releases should be fast until I catch up with the backlog. That said, it may languish in hiatus at that point if the interest isn't high enough to merit continuing, so if you're the type to only read finished stories (or ones where the author promises to do so), I am very specifically not promising that. On the other hand, if enough people read, like, review, comment, rate, etc. then it will get added to my writing schedule. Generally, the character is based on a “how badass could someone who hasn't done ridiculously crazy shit be? Or, how does someone with the potential, in another setting, with a lot of luck, to be a badass act and develop as a modern, productive member of society? And then how would they deal with the Naruto-verse?” Please, please do not judge my writing by this. Unless you really like it, in which case fine, do, but recognize my other writing is likely better (unless it’s that one MTG/ASoIaF/SW fic I did over on SB as a speed-writing experiment, which is also pretty terrible).

Taken : New Beginnings
It is summer, 2016. On this fateful Sunday, the world is shook when an announcement - in the form of a blue screen, nothing less - appears in front of every human being on Earth. This announcement is both the ending of an era, and the beginning of a new one. Join our main charachter, James, on his induction into a whole new world and the wider universe. In the world of Terrae, there are infinite possibilities. Swords, bows, magic and more all exist on this world - complete with fantasy-esque races and monsters. In a RPG-like environment, James and the others from his world must grow and adapt fast or fall before the hordes of monsters infesting their new home. What path to power will James take, in a world of infinite possibilities? Who will he become? What has become of Earth and it's other inhabitants - His family? Follow James in his journey to discover these things himself, as he has no clue either. After all, he has just been Taken from his world, and is expected to adapt and thrive in a whole new place. Good luck to him, anyway! All credit for the awesome cover goes to ssddx, who did a brilliant job putting it together, as I'm sure you can all see! I will note that, as pretty much all LitRPG novels have, that, to a certain extent, I have taken inspiration from other works I have read. This, however, is an original fiction. I hope any and all of you who read this fiction enjoy reading it just as much as I enjoy writing it, and please feel free to comment - I recognice that this will need work and will have things like typos - please feel free to point out any obvious things I forget about or miss out, as well as any typos. Also, feel free to lob suggestions my way if you have any - while I may not use them, they could very well inspire me in some way or another and help me improve this fiction, even if just by a little bit.

A man once lived in a modern world, surrounded by the tragedy of humans, he was despaired. He did his best to ignore it. Did his best to hide in the safety of his own circumstances. But eventually the tragedy reached him. And when it did... it left a broken man, who was tired of the world and it's circumstances. He took things into his own hands. He would change the world. But this story isn't about that. For after all was done, the man dying peacefully on his own terms, he would have a new life ahead of him. Now unbound by attatchments and responsibility, in a completely new world for him to explore, he would make sure his new life didn't end up like the last one.

I'm not an experienced, and don't consider myself a good author in any way. But hopefully some people will enjoy this fiction like I do writing it, regardless of that.
