《The Adventures of a Skyrim Modder in Another World》Chapter 7: The Rabbit Girl And Objectives
Advertisement
(Mika’s POV)
The beast girl fell face first in the dirt, her legs raising comically. And Marion had just given her a bath too… well, whatever. I’m sure that u have some cleaning magic on my repertoire that could solve this problem.
She gets up slowly, spitting some dirt while coughing. As she gets up, I say:
(Mika): “You know, for someone that was saved from death moments ago, you’re pretty ungrateful, trying to run away as soon as I release your bindings.”
She glares at me, her red eyes full of rage. Oh my, her face is cute! So unfitting for a anger expression. Well, I suppose that being a slave does sour your mood in many ways. Oh, I can see her tail from here. So cute. I want to cuddle her- wait, that’s not the time for it.
(Mika): “So, you will glare at me the whole day, or are you going to say something?”
(Bunny Girl): “Shut up, human!”
She says, jumping higher than I expected, with a flying kick aiming for my head. Uh, so slow. This new body is nice, isn’t it? Full of power, magic, and everything you could ever hope for. I lightly bend to the left, and she flies straight pass me, the air caused by her movement taking off my hood.
I turn back while she’s still on the air, grabbing her arm and casting paralysis on her. She immediately goes limp. I hold her under my arm and go back to where Shadowmere is waiting. As I approach, she neighs.
(Mika): “I know, I know, you don’t need to remind me. I’ll bind the slave crest later, leave me alone.”
(Bunny Girl’s POV)
He caught me again. Shit. He brings me back to where the black horse is. Does this guy have some special ability to understand animals? He’s speaking with the horse after all, and the said horse seems to be answering.

He threw me again on the back of the horse, tying me up. And this time, I finally managed to take a look at his face, and what I saw shocked me. He’s… an elf! Not only that, he has black hair, and a manly face! Even his skin is deadly pale, as if he was made of snow!
Elves all have fair skin, but not that pale, with blonde or platinum hair, as well feminine face even if they are males, with frail frames. Elves that have manly faces are extremely rare, and, although are more of a normality to humans to have a handsome male, and for the elves, it’s like a godly face.
Almost all of the male elves look like girls, pretty girls. Because of that, they delicate is the norm, and the manly face is the most beautiful that a male elf can have. Skin that pale is also an extremely rare trait. However… black hair is an sign of curse.
Cursed elves have black hair, or so it’s said. An elf… he’s not a human then? With black hair… so he is cursed like me? I was banished from my village for also being a cursed child. Beastman are superstitious, since our origin is that of animal spirits that took human form.
Our species is meant to not be able to use magic… and I am able to use magic. Because of that, I’m considered a cursed child, and I was banished from my village. My red eyes are the sign of my curse.
An elf that walks among humans… is he like me?
(Mika’s POV)
I climbed to the saddle of Shadowmere. Now, what do I do? As we trot back to the town slowly, enjoying the view. Right now, I’m having a severe lack of objective. This body has everything, magic, physical prowess… even magic items. This body is linked to so many powers and equipment that I can’t even name all of them.

Not only that, I also have unending longevity, and my body has too many regenerative powers, as well absurd tenacity. Even if I am decapitated, if my head is reattached within two hundred thousand years, I will come back.
Even if my body gets destroyed, as long my soul exists, I have a failsafe to recreate my body, even more powerful than before. It is the result of many modding tests and several mods that I created for roleplay features, as well things that I wanted to test.
I can clearly feel the several world-ending experimental spells and powers that I created for this character. Because of that, I don’t need to seek more power. I’m full of that already, to the point that I don’t believe that this world can give me anything that I don’t already have.
It’s like playing the world’s most vast and detailed game with god mode enabled. It may be fun to mess around, but it will eventually have an end to the fun. I will certainly get bored, knowing how I normally act.
Even this girl that I bought in an impulse. It was just for momentary amusement, since I saw something different in her that might be interesting in the long run by having her around. And now, my interest in the dungeon city died completely.
And now, to avoid a misunderstanding, I didn’t buy her because of piety. I’m a cruel being, as defined by the previous society. I don’t have empathy towards people, I only help if it seems interesting, and I feel no piety in seeing a human in a bad situation.
I was born into poverty and as an orphan and went days without eating when I was a child. I worked my ass off, even as a child, and made all the way up to a multi-billionaire modder. I was even hired by Bethesda to work in their next game.
And now, I’m feeling like I will get bored soon. Well, I do have a mission. Turn into a god. However, as far as I live normally in this world, I will ascend to godhood. And then, what? What can I do to keep me entertained during my “ascension”?
Adventure? Probably, there’s much of this world to be seen. Maybe settle down somewhere, start a city of my own. I always loved creating cities after all, and I wonder how it is to wage war. Not that would be a problem, I can create an army from nothing after all.
But I think that my priority should be after all to turn into a god. I do seem to lack something to achieve godhood. I also wonder what kind of divinity I am. The origin of this body is from a different pantheon from this world for sure, and a different universe all together.
I pull back my hood as we approach the gates of the city. Well, for now, I should at least look for some place interesting. Maybe a cold place, since I’m quite fond of it. Although my childhood was spent on the cold, working hard. However, I do like the cold, mainly snow. I want to go to a snowy place, and I would prefer it to be in the mountains.
I would also to make a name for myself, maybe kill something big. I also would like to go to somewhere famous, have a nice view. This city is quite bland, and the food here isn’t tasty. I also don’t have interest in the adventurer’s guild anymore. The system is interesting, but not that interested in that anymore.
Well, first, gather some information, and then depart on a journey, for a place to settle down!

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.
