《Her Euphoria -Lizkook COMPLETED》YouTube
Advertisement
After closing her eyes in a concentrated prayer giving thanks for the many blessings they've had since their debut, her heartbeat began to slow down as a renewed invisible energy entered her body making her shudder with excitement. Every move, every sway and every hit was all for their beloved Blinks. Every note, lyric and smile was for the people who supported them and cheered for their success when so many others had nothing but doubt, hate and jealousy for even the smallest of efforts she and her group sisters had made within their music.
Lisa gave thanks for the support of their managers, the stylists and even those responsible for ensuring there was enough water & snacks in the dressing room to keep them hydrated and energised. She never failed to send prayers of gratitude and love to the two people who trusted her enough to allow her to leave her homeland in search of her dreams and desires of being a Kpop idol. At this thought she felt her heart waver for a fraction of a moment as she thought about her parents and the time she is missing being with them as a family. Her aunts and uncles and cousins all received their own prayers of gratitude as did her beloved vocal coach who had become a person whom she respected as much as she did her parents.
And then she thought of him.
The one man who yielded enough power to make her heart flutter at the mere thought of his toothy smile. The crescent shape his eyes would make as he smiled at her adoringly when she's too far gone with her overly energetic antics and windscreen wiper laughter before he too broke down in fits of laughter with his loud guffaw only adding to the joyful ambience of humour.
She thought about the raspy way his voice would greet her in the mornings when he was too tired to return to his dorm and spent the night spooned so tightly behind her encasing her in a warm embrace filled with love and protection. How perfectly they fit together like a glove and how she especially loved the way he would tuck his head just below her neck using her hair as a curtain to shield himself from the early morning rays of the sun allowing her to feel the soft featherlike breaths he would make when exhaling leaving small goosebumps of pleasure on her back.

The combination never failed to make her insides churn with passion and love for the man who never gave up his numerous attempts of making him hers.
His pursuit of her was unwavering and despite all her efforts of not glancing at him at awards shows or the way she would purposely side step him after all the idols were onstage greeting each other, he had eventually managed to make her notice him.
She had made it a rule to never watch any of their videos because what was the point? She was well aware of the shipping between her and Jungkook but she had never paid much attention to it even when her members would lightly tease her about it. She didn't leave Thailand at an early age alone just to debut and land herself in a relationship, she had a much bigger purpose than that. It wasn't until she had taken the bait that fate had offered to her that she began to see something that had been blatantly obvious to millions of Army and Blinks across the globe.
It was a lazy Sunday, the girls were out spending time with their families and she had decided to wash her hair and relax for the day, intent on watching a few movies that she had promised herself to watch when they were given a rest day. Many fans knew of her penchant for social media, so it goes without saying that YouTube also fit into that category for her. She can't remember how she clicked on the video and it was no longer than a few minutes, but it was enough to pique her curiosity as her compassion for the young man brought itself forward.
Eyes glazing over with emotion she took in the watery track that made its way down his features. The heavily slumped shoulders and the obvious sadness and disappointment plastered on his features screamed out as he sat in a chair unable to perform with his brothers. Unable to show his love and gratitude for the fans who supported them since their early days of small humble beginnings, only now they were immensely popular on a worldwide stage.

She felt her heart drop as she found herself resonating with him and his feelings of helplessness. Her lower lip quivered a little as she continued to watch and rewatch several times more before clicking another video this time showing his powerful dance moves only this time she was moved at the power behind his eyes, and how he was able to romance the crowd with a flirty smirk one moment and within a second he was biting his lower lip showing a darker sensual side to his dance. From that moment all thoughts of watching movies quickly vanished and what felt like an hour of watching his fan made videos actually turned into a few hours of entertainment for her.
The small blossoming of something resembling admiration and bordering on a crush had begun, only she wasn't aware of the fact and she certainly wasn't aware of how her fingers automatically danced across her phone pad typing in more search words; BTS Jungkook dance, JK BTS laughing, Jungkook BTS Euphoria and more.
That was where it all began. He soon made himself hers, and she had become his.
Eyes still closed in a prayer she gave thanks for a man who loved her unconditionally. A man who loved her bare face, a man who loved her long slender fingers so much so that he would plant soft kisses on them absentmindedly whether they were with people or not. It had become his thing to reach out and take her hand or touch her in someway, anytime, anywhere in what ever situation, he had to be linked to her physically.
They had only been unofficially official for a few months when she quickly realised how driven and passionate he was in all things he did. He never once wavered from appreciating his fans and she found they had common ground with how appreciative they were of Armys and Blinks. She had found a man who fit into her ideal of a partner who's lifestyle suited hers, and she loved him with every fibre of her being.
One day she had come across a video which of him and his members at an awards show, he was sitting just behind her and it appeared as though they were singing together as a duet. She was an extremely popular idol and had acted in numerous dramas and she was sitting in the row of seats infront of him, her back facing directly towards him and she was mouthing along to the lyrics and he was sitting behind one row behind her mouthing the same words and swaying his body along to the music. Just like she was. She had heard that she was his ideal type, but she had never paid much heed because there was never a need to.
But now that she had seen the video herself; the ever so tiny seeds of doubt planted themselves into her heart making it skip a beat.
Taking a deep breath she opened her eyes and took a small step onto the elevated stage preparing herself for her solo dance stage performance. Looking up she sees the worried stares emanating from Jisoos eyes as she holds up two thumbs indicating that she is ok. She had always enjoyed performing for their Blinks and her dancing was always for them as much as it was for herself. She will think about everything else after the concert because right now she had to show their Blinks just how much she loved performing for them.

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.

The Priest of Genes
Meet Seth, acolyte in the Church of Virtue. He’ll be a Priest like his father soon, he just knows it. Sure he didn’t inherit his mother’s preaching power, but he doesn’t mind being the secondary priest at whatever temple he is assigned to. Just as long as he has a library. Meet this genetics textbook. Hmm, that doesn’t belong here. It must have come from somewhere far away, I guess something happened to its owner. I’m sure a studious young man who likes healing could go far with this information, whether he wants to or not. This is my first time really writing anything, so I hope you like it! Please let me know if I make any mistakes; I have a new R&D tech job at a genomics company, so I probably don’t edit as much as some people. I’m shooting for two thousand-ish word chapters released on Sundays, since none of the webnovels I read ever seem to update that day. Underserved Market! Genre is fantasy, possibly progression fantasy. Maybe a tiny bit litRPG if you wait a while and squint really hard, but that’s the most I’m prepared to claim. Hedged my bets on the content warnings, nothing that bad. Cover art from A. W. Gelman
