《The Toys of the Fool》TOC, Information and other stuff
Advertisement
As a general update on things, click on the spoiler on what to happen later on
Spoiler : Instead of the 15 volumes I planned out initially, I increased it to 30 volumes and a total of 9 Arcs for pacing reasons. Basically each Arch after the third will take around 2 years in in game time and the last volume will take place over a year in time.
Because of this, it will look something like this.
Arc 3: Year 4-5 (Level 200-300)
Arc 4: Year 6-7 (Level 300-400)
Arc 5: Year 8-9 (Level 400-450)
Arc 6: Year 10-11(Level 450-500)
Arc 7: Year 12-13 (Level 500-550)
Arc 8: Year 14-15 (Level 550-600)
Arc 9: Year 16 (Level 600-625)
So according to all of this the group will change class at Arc 3, Arc 5 and Arc 8. Also I more or less know what will happen in each Arc but not so much in each volume individually. Well this is going to take a loooong time to finish. The Unfortunate Fool was only 7 volumes long...well 8 if you include that the last chapter was a volume long either way, but this is almost four times the size in sheer content.
Which means I have a lot of time to develop my slow levelling characters (Yay) and explore some thing as well.
I'll update this bit by bit when I have the time to do so.

Seeing this, Sain and Shadow were originally designed to be female while Lyndis and Serena were meant to be male at first. Also their roles seemed more defined here...kinda got mixed and matched in the actual writing as I added more and more things on.

Virtual World: Close Combat Mage
Due to a mistake on his student’s part, a super Martial Artist had received a wrong class in an online game and had become a mage. He who was used to curbing violence with violence and using strength to subdue strength could only make the best out of his mistake. Taking on a new lease in life, he became a violent close combat mage. When strength and magic came perfectly together, a new gaming path had been opened by him! ______ “Fireball spell? Lightning Chain? Frosted Ice Mirror… etc.” “Wait, I came here to practice Kung Fu! What has magic got to do with me?” “I am a mage?” “Oh, that’s right. I am a Mage!” “However… do you really firmly believe that I am a mage?” “Alright then, look at my knives! Look at my sword! Look at my fist! Look at my concealed weapons!” “What? You’re now saying that I’m not a mage?” “If you don’t believe me, I will prove it to you: If you believe me, I will show you a performance: No one can get in the way of a mage who knows Kung Fu!”

Immortal Conqueror
Non-RR tags: Overpowered Main Character - Losing power and "starting over" - Medieval world - "Adventurers" Guild Release rate: 3 chapters per week for a couple weeks (as of 02/10/2021), then 4~5 per week. Aaron hadn't had a good fight in ages. No one in the known universe could give him one, he was just too strong. So, he was going to search for it in the unknown parts of the universe. That's when a portal appeared in front of him with a message: the dimension on the other side was in danger and requested his help. However, inter-dimensional travel came with its own rules. One of them was that his overwhelming power needed to be left behind, that he must tread the path to power from the beginning all over again. Not that it would truly hinder someone like him. Excited at the prospect of having found a worthy opponent, he stepped into the portal. On the other side, he found a medieval world controlled by a mysterious system. Holographic panels appeared at a mere thought, defining each living being in numbers, determining their classes, and changing their very selves. In a world where power reigns supreme, the morale is fluid and the enemies are diverse. But they weren't prepared to deal with him. Witness Aaron's conquest of a world full of conflict, wild beasts, and magical items.

Magic-Farming
A thought experiment gone out of control, inspired by kosnik4's popular story, Magic-Smithing. What would life be like for someone else who was transported to the world inside Magic-Smithing? Someone who wasn't as prone to encounter incresasingly dangerous people, whose life was a little less chaotic? What if this person was content with a simple life of farming? Tending to the plants, sowing seeds, and reaping a great harvest at the end of the year. Of course, he's also a data scientist, so he can't help but squeeze out the maximum possible efficiency of his time and the potential of his attributes. Who doesn't make excel spreadsheets in their spare time? This is a slightly more "Slice of Life" esque version of kosnik4's story. Hopefully lighthearted, funny, and as enjoyable to read as it is thinking of increasingly ridiculous skill progressions. Thanks to kosnik4 and Magic-Smithing for providing fertile grounds for creativity to thrive. NOTE: THIS IS A FAN FICTION, AND ALL INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS BELONG TO KOSNIK4. I'm a patron of his story, and love reading about what happens next in his story. I've tried my best to be as accurate to his canon science as possible, though it's not 100% feasible. Afterall, the story isn't even done yet! My plan for the releases is to release a single chapter a day until 3/7, and then release 4 chapters a week on M, W, F, & Sat. P.S. If anyone can figure out what the EXACT formula for Level XP is, I'd love to hear it. I'm starting to doubt my math and excel capabilities. I have an equation that is fairly accurate and stays close to his values, but not exactly the same.
