Daichi was confused as he looked at the quest status. 'Why isn't it saying I completed the quest? Is there something more I have to do…?'
Daichi pondered on this question for a couple of minutes. 'The fact that I haven't received a quest completion notification means Reo is still in danger. But how? I made sure no one saw me coming here. So how…?'
Daichi turned to Miss Aiko. 'Is it possible? Could Aiko be the threat?... No! Based on my memories she doesn't seem like that kind of a person. And my 'Observe' didn't show anything problematic. Kensei trusts Miss Aiko as well. Of that I'm sure. So then she must not be the problem… So then what is it?... She might not be the problem but maybe she might have an idea as to what is…'
"Miss Aiko?"
The matron turned around at Daichi's call. "Yes Daichi?"
"Ren made me promise to keep Reo safe. So is there a possibility of people finding out about her?" Daichi asked in an unsure tone.
"Daichi, she's a member of the Uchiha clan. People will find out about her one day."
"I know that. I'm just asking if there is any chance her enemies would find out about her in the coming days or weeks…?"
Aiko thought about the question. A couple seconds later her eyes widened as she remembered something. Daichi seeing her face became slightly tense.
"What is it?" The boy asked.
"In the private archives, a record of every person living in the village is documented. It only has the basic information but it will be there. The moment a baby is born a record would be made and kept in the archives in her family files. "
Daichi's eyes widened hearing Aiko's words. She continued.
"The baby's record would be filed with their parents' documents…"
Daichi now understood why the mission wasn't completed yet. He still had something to do.
"There will definitely be an investigation on this matter when the Hokage finds out what Itachi did. So they would check the dead bodies to the records kept in the archives to see if anyone is missing… And they would find out about her…" Daichi said, looking at Aiko.
The matron simply nodded. Daichi was in deep thought. He had a simple solution in mind but he was unsure if Miss Aiko would help him.
'I'll have to use Mana puppetry on her if necessary.'
"Do you know where the records are kept?" Daichi asked the matron.
Aiko knew exactly what Daichi was going to do. "Daichi, are you planning on committing a crime and asking me to be an accomplice?"
Hearing Aiko, Daichi pointed at the sleeping Reo. "I'm asking you if you're planning on helping me save her life… Itachi is a genius and formidable. Everyone in the village knows that. If he finds out about her then he'll come back and finish the job. And then me for saving her. And not to mention what the unknown traitors in the village would do if they found out about her… The only way to keep her safe is if we erase her existence on paper for good."

Aiko was torn between her loyalty to the village and her love and compassion for children. At that moment the words Kensei said to her years ago came to mind.
"Just because Hiruzen helped you save the orphanage from Danzo doesn't mean you should trust him. He can be quite cunning and heartless when he wants to be."
"Kensei, how can you say that about him?"
"Because I've seen who he really is and the hypocrisy of people like him. Don't forget. I was Anbu for a long time. I've seen the ugly side of this village… Trust me on this Aiko. Blind loyalty will get you and the people around you killed."
Daichi was about to use Mana Puppetry on her to make her comply but Aiko spoke before he could. She had a serious expression on her face.
"I'll help you. But we need to move fast. Let's go to my office."
Once Aiko made sure Reo was asleep in bed, she led Daichi to her office.
"There are several people who have access to the records kept. I happen to be one of them." Aiko said as she took a key from a shelf. "If we're going to save that girl then not only do we have to erase her existing documents, we have to create new ones."
"So you're creating a new identity for her.!"
"Yes."
Aiko started filling the new document. She looked at Daichi and spoke. "I will mark her as an orphan."
Daichi nodded.
"Do you know her birth date?" She asked.
"January 29th… What are you going to name her?" Daichi was sad that the girl would grow up under a different name than the one given by her parents.
"Do you have something in mind?" Aiko asked the boy.
"Keep the first name. Reo. Ren and Kimiko chose that for her. I don't want her to lose anymore tonight than she already has." Daichi was downcast as he said the words. He was still processing what happened to them.
Aiko nodded and went back to completing the document. Daichi looked at the time remaining to complete the quest. 'Less than 30 minutes… Please hurry…'
A couple minutes later the stamped and completed records and documents of an orphan Reo Miena were in Daichi's hands. Aiko gave Daichi a key and gave him the instructions to complete the next step.
"Since she's just a few months old she'll only have a birth certificate and a couple other documents. They will be kept in the low priority records room so there will only be a chunin guarding the door at this time. I'm sure with that cloak of yours you can get past him. Each clan has a specific shelf assigned to them to keep records of their members. Go to the section where they keep the Uchiha files. Find her parents files and just remove her documents."
Daichi nodded and knew what he had to do next. "Then I place these documents with the ones assigned to this orphanage right?"
"Yeah."
Daichi nodded as he memorized the plan. "Thank you for this." He thanked her sincerely.
Aiko merely nodded. "Go. Before it's too late."

Daichi tucked the files safely in his arms and left. Under the invisibility of his cloak he ran through the roofs of the village. Daichi headed in the direction Aiko said. Within 15 minutes he reached his destination. He saw only one person guarding the door just like the matron said. Daichi got near him and didn't bother wasting his time using his 'observe' skill on him.
Daichi could smell the strong scent of smoke and tobacco coming from the man. He also saw a portion of a pack of smoke sticking out of the man's pockets. Daichi had an idea. He used the Mana puppetry on him.
'It's a good night for a smoke. I should have another one and enjoy the full moon. No one will come here anyway.'
[Target has accepted the suggestion.]
'That was fast. Guess he's a heavy smoker. Makes things easier for me.' Daichi thought as he looked at the chunin who left the post. The moment he turned a corner and was out of sight Daichi took out the key to the room and quietly opened the door and slipped inside. He slowly closed the door behind him and began his search.
It was a big room with dozens of shelves.
'This is like looking for a needle in several haystacks. Thankfully these haystacks come labeled and numbered.'
He followed Aiko's instructions and had an idea as to where the Uchiha clan's files would be kept. It took a minute but he found the Uchiha section of the records.
'Ok. One problem solved. Now to find Ren's family file… A, B, C…. R. Now to find Ren..' Daichi went through the alphabets and soon found the folder he was looking for.
'Ren Uchiha…'
Daichi took out the folder and opened it.
'This folder only contains the basic documents on Ren and Kimiko. Makes sense. Their other more important information like mission records and other details would be kept in a more secure location. And Reo… Since she's only born just a few months ago she would only have these couple of documents.'
Daichi took Reo's papers from the folder and stored them in his inventory. He then looked over the information on Ren and Kimiko's documents to see if it mentions them having a child.
'Ok. There is nothing on these documents that indicates them having a child… Good. Now as far as the village is concerned Reo Uchiha doesn't exist.'
Daichi placed Ren's folder back in its place and closed the shelf. He then started to look for the cabinet assigned to Aiko's orphanage. After a short search he found it. Daichi looked at the time remaining on the quest.
'Less than 4 minutes left.'
Daichi quickly placed Reo Miena's files in the correct spot and closed the cabinet.
'Time to get the hell out of here.'
Daichi went near the door and used Mana scout. 'The good thing about the Mana scout skill is that no one can detect me when I use it. But if I use 'chakra sense' a sensor could pick up my chakra. But I'm not sure that applies while I'm using the cloak. Either way, I'm not gonna risk it.'
The mana scout skill indicated that the guard hadn't returned yet. Seeing that the area was empty, Daichi quietly and cautiously opened the door. He got outside and quickly and carefully closed the door behind him. He let out a sigh of relief and at that moment a notification popped up
'About time.' Daichi looked at the quest box.
Quest 'Rescue Reo Uchiha' Completed.
Rewards:
12000 Exp.
Reputation increases with Aiko Hikara and Kensei Yasaji.
Reputation increases with Ren Uchiha and Kimiko Uchiha. - Reward Invalid.
'I saved her… Ren, Kimiko… Rest easy. Reo's safe. And I'll make sure she stays safe till she's strong enough to defend herself.'
Daichi then slowly walked and reached the building's exterior. At that moment, he saw two Anbu members and a nervous guard headed in the direction of the records room.
'So they found out… This is why the quest had a time limit. If I had gotten here even a few minutes later then they would have found out about her and then what I did.'
Cold sweat ran down Daichi's face as he imagined the consequences of the quest failure. Without wasting any more time lingering there, Daichi left and headed back to the orphanage. As he ran a few meters a new notification box and a quest appeared, taking him by surprise.
Daichi opened the new quest box first.
Quest Created - 'Retrieve Ren and Kimiko Uchiha's Sharingan.'

Reputation increases with Reo Uchiha.

Accept Y/N
The contents shocked and then made Daichi happy. 'Wow… I can't believe it… there's no way I'm rejecting this quest.'
He accepted the quest immediately. Daichi's fists clenched and his teeth grinded in anger as he thought about what happened to his friends. 'Just you wait, Obito. I'll be coming for you one day. And unlike Naruto, mercy or the talk no jutsu would be the last things you will see from me.'
Daichi then looked at the next blue box that was present. He was shocked as he read the contents.
[You have chosen to save the life of someone you care about instead of chasing after power.]
[You have received a hidden reward]
The hidden reward was a new skill. Daichi read the details of the new skill and by the time he was done his eyes were wide open.
'Holy shit… A skill like this… It's a one time use skill but the value of this can't be understated.'
Daichi couldn't stop the small smile from spreading on his face.

The life of a teenage hellworlder
We've all heard of the trope that Earth is a deadly planet by galactic standard; and has thus honed humanity into a ruthless species bent on surviving at all costs. As it turns out, that trope is true. Sapient species that evolve on safe planets develop to be peaceful and compassionate - and the ones that do on dangerous ones become violent and selfish out of need - usually wiping themselves out. But obviously, not every violent species drives itself to extinction - resulting in them being feared and ostracized - including humans. The life of a teenage hellworlder is a sci-fi slice of life story that revolves mainly around Thomas, a sixteen-year-old New Britannian attending a Xeno high school, who befriends a lonely apex predator named Javqua. Getting written by two amateur teen writers, things may sometimes be inconsistent or be confusing - feel free to comment and point out these problems. Gore, profanity, and traumatizing content tags are only for minor events in the story and do not happen often. Chapters are around 1k - 2k words - pretty short, but that's because we're all busy with our own lives and school. Trust us - we would gladly upload 5k word chapters if we could. We tend to upload new chapters every Saturday or Sunday. Please consider supporting us on Patreon!

Museum of Deadly Beasts
Lin Jin never imagined he would ever transmigrate. And to such a peculiar world at that. Here, deadly beasts were regarded as sacred, and thankfully, he owned a museum for deadly beasts. “Master, this is just a dying little tortoise…” “What tortoise? This is a rare species that contains the blood of a Black Tortoise and could be promoted up to level seven.” “What about this shedding mongrel?” “Mongrel? How narrow-minded. This is a branch descendant of the snarling hound with a hint of Kirin’s blood. Take my word for it and sign the blood contract at once. I guarantee you that you’ll soar to success and be on your path to invincibility!”

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.

All resources were exhausted, and hope was all lost. When three-player chess that will decide the lives of billions of people was at its zenith, a portal appeared in the sky. Monsters, bigger than the biggest animal, harder than the hardest metal poured out of the abyss... Putting aside their differences, humanity united to fight against their common enemy. But the weapons were ineffective. The most powerful weapons of science could not do even the slightest bit of damage to monsters. While desperation reigned, science prevailed, and laser weapons were born. The first blood was spilled... The first monster was killed! However, it wasn't laser weapons that allowed humanity to win the war, but a piece of orb found in the monster's brain. When supplied with electricity, the orbs would turn into pre-determined objects. These orbs turned into weapons that could damage monsters, and the more monsters were killed, the more weapons were found. With the newly looted weapons and the determination of humanity to get rid of this disease, the monsters were pushed back. At that moment, a messenger flew from the portal in his radiant form. An Artificial Intelligence produced by the native race living in the Portal World... Called Mother AI by humans, this object used the miracles of the alien world to help humanity close the portal. With these miracles, humans awakened superpowers to fight against monsters. An unfortunate teenager, Miles Cross, was born with dormant Ancient Genes and failed to awaken his superpower. Instead, he used every means to get stronger...

Revenant
Everyone dies. Not everyone gets back up again afterward. The Deep Paths are a cursed place, meant for those similarly cursed souls whom the gods themselves denied the sweet release of death. Revenants haunt the underworld, wielding forbidden powers and often consuming those who lack the strength to join them. At least, that's the story that parents teach their kids up on the surface. Reshid can't remember what he might have done to deserve such a fate, but he learns quickly that there is more to undeath than the gods and their faithful preach to the living. Revenants have a unique connection to essential magics that allows them to develop their powers in extremely diverse ways. Wherever there is power, though, there are those seeking to wield it, whether they be governments and gods from above, or mythical elder races from below.
