《Nadia *Dropped*》Chapter 6: Master Anna's Feelings Part 2

Master Anna's POV
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Now that we finished Nadia's torture she would have to learn how to torture others. There are many devices that Nadia learned about.
The Tub
The victims would have their all their body parts except their head sticking out. The head that was sticking out would be painted with honey. Then after a few days insects like maggots and worms would decay their body alive. The tub wouldn't be cleaned but the victims were still fed as minimum as possible.
Impalement
The victims would sit on a sharp needle. After this the executioners would raise the pole. The victims would then slide down slowly and painfully dying.. This was the favorite method of execution from Vlad The Impaler.
The Iron Maiden
In the steel coffin like device there would be needles all around. This would make the victim unable to move.
The Thumb Screw
Like the name states the Thumb Screw was a screw like machine that would crush fingers, knees, and ankles. There was also a head crusher which would crush the leg.
The Guillotine
The Guillotine is a device that everyone has probably seen in old movies or in other places. It was a machine made to decapitate. This machine was just a sharp knife connected to the rope. (Search it up yourself for pictures because I don't know how to add them.)
The Tongue Tearer
This device looked like an oversized pair of scissors. Just like it sounds it would tear out the tongue. (I don't know why they would teach this fro confessions because the victim wouldn't be able to spill any information anymore. Maybe they just showed this to the spies or really just victims to intimidate them)
Rat Torture
Rat torture was when a box or cage without a bottom was placed on the victims body. The box would have something that would produce intense heat. The rats wanting to escape would scratch and enter the body. Needless to say the victims died very painfully.

Cement Shoes
The cement shoes would have two holes for the victims legs. The victim would then be thrown into the sea or deep waters.
Saw Torture
The victim would be tied upside down. They were kept upside down so that blood would rush to their heads and would keep them awake during the torture. Then a saw or knife would drop down cutting their bodies in half. First would be the private parts which again needless to say would hurt.
(By the way my favorite type (also in my thoughts the scariest) of torture is the Hanged, Drawn, and Quartered it is not included in the torture descriptions so search it up. Maybe i'm a bit sadistic too for choosing this horrid torture method as my favorite but hey no torture doesn't hurt.)
These were just some examples of what Nadia learned. Nadia hated these types of torture even without my observant abilities Nadia's face and trembling body said it all. When learning about these tortures Nadia was mostly scared of the rat and saw torture. During the lessons Nadia asked me a question. She asked why we still had these type of tortures if most of them were abandoned and super old. I answered that it was I who brought them back into use. I have liked these type of tortures all my life. There was no other reason behind my interest and the fact that in the old times things were a bit more painful and much more interesting. I guess i'm just sadistic by nature.
As a final test to see if Nadia's torture lessons were completely learned and absorbed we had her test every single method on different people. It was sad to see Nadia cry and beg for their forgiveness but this was the test and it was not optional. We even had to use threats against her family. That did the job almost too well. Nadia passed with flying colors meaning that she wouldn't have to retake this painful study course once again.

Sorry for the short chapter and the wait. I made a short chapter because I just wanted to continue as soon as possible. Also sorry for redoing and adding more to past chapters with this instead of continuing with the advancements of the story. Its just that some time ago I asked if I should include information of how she became what she will be in the future. Someone answered that they like detailed growth periods. This is for them. Thank you for reading. I will be expecting comments also what is the scariest of all the list and if you could chose one which would you pick. Just trying to get some more comments so forgive me for making you imagine and consider horrible things. Once again thank you for reading.

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.
