《Rise of Agze'sCanvas》Chapter 19: Monster core
Advertisement
Hi TofunMiso here, i just saw that our 5 star rating haf dropped down to 3.5 star.T.T and one of the reviews stats that my story has a lot of plot holes and inconsistencies, well this is my first time writing a novel so i guess it can't be help however the reason he stated on the reviews i can explain it cause its all written there on the chapter i guess he must have missed it or not been able to see it. 1st How was Kalm able to pay of 50% of the debt he got carried over from the accident even though they were poor( Answer: In the chapter i wrote that he had to sell of all his belonging including his house to cover 50% of the debt), he also stated that the amount of selling the house will not be able to cover even half of the 844k amount owe, in short he says that no building own by such a poor family could amount up to over 400k,( Answer: That chapter took place in a dystopia future and as always when time passes prices and money will inflat. A car now will cost 10 time the price of that 10 years ago so the amount of 844k owe if u convert it to todays currencey rate it will be many times lower like maybe even 200k and as for how he could afford his dwelling when he is so young, answer= Its a dystopia future, do u think they will care about underage workers? ) So i hope i answered your question Puffywings. All the plothole you stated could have been filled if you had read the chapter more closely. Its like when you're read my chapter 1 you did a speed reading or something. And as for my grammers an spelling this i will apologize but i will correct it soon when i have the time, it has alway been on my agenda to fix all the chapters including the capitalize names. So PuffyWings please don any how go review other peoples work and calling them filled with plotholes when its clearly explained in the chapter if you had read it more carefully. T.T This really dampen my motivation to keep writing the novel.

*************************************************************************************************************************
On the lifeless body of the mountain charger beast where Nite had bore into moments ago, slight movement could be seen. The slight spasm of its body got stronger until from it's back something burst out. That something was not a chest burster from a certain movie but instead it was a tail-less tiny black shark.
Covered entirely with blood and innards, it let out a ''Sharrrrr!'' as if proclaiming its victory over its enemy.
Kalm: '' Are you ok Nite?'' asked Kalm worriedly
Nite: ''Sha!!sharr shark sasa''(Boss!!, this thing tastes good)
A sense of relief came over Kalm as he ascertain that his buddy was alright, freed from worries exhaustion washed over him as he laid flat down on the grass laughing out loud toward the canopy's silhoutte.
Kalm:'' Its finally over, this has been so exhausting''
Kalm closed his eyes as he listened to the calming sound of munching nearby as he went off to take a short nap. Half an hour later..........
Nite:'' mhmm.............mmmm.......mmmm!''
Kalm:'' Hehehe? let me sleep a while longer, ahhh i'm awake awakee, thats tickles stop it already hahaha''
Opening his eyes, Kalm came upon a persistent Nite constantly nudging his pointed snout on his face. All these while he had been poking on Kalm trying to get him to wake up for some reason whatsoever.
Kalm:'' Stop licking me haha....I'm awake already Nite''
Nite then proceed to get off Kalm's chest before opening its jaw drawing the attention of the half awake boy.''Oh whats that?'' exclaim the puzzled Kalm.
Within Nite's mouth was a unusually transparent ball shaped object. Getting up, he retrieved the object in question to examine it. Upon closer inspection, Kalm could feel a dense concentration of mana within the ball but it was slightly different from the mana found between the heaven and the earth.

Instead it was more chaotic and violence much like the nature of an untamed beast. Unable to uncover more information out of the object, he decided to rely on his eye's ability.
[Forest charger 5th stage Mana condensation]
[Monster core]
Description: The core of the magical creature (Forest charger). Inside it contain the compressed power of the beast when it was alive. Crafting material for magical tools and etc.
Kalm: ''So this is a Monster core''
He remembered that once in the past his Grandpa once mention to him about the relation between practitioners and magical beasts.
The magical beast of this world out numbered the total populations of all human and other races, this causes most of the race to band together forming a soft alliance to counteract against them. Whenever there are a joined attack by magical beast on any of the races, the rest will work together even if they are presently in a conflict with one another.
This was the unspoken rule that every race follows. Fortunately, the magical beast do not have a united front as they fought against each other much more then when they tried to attack the alliances.Though If they were ever to unit under one ruling banner, then humans and the other race will almost be certain to face extinction.
However, the alliance do have their deterrence, they are called practitioners, the vanguard and defenders of all races. They fight off the magical beast who got too close to their domain and gather their materials which were then used forged armors,weapons, magical tools,medicines and many other. They are also the pioneer of the current age...........The Golden Age of Monster hunters.
Back to the present, Kalm raise the Monster core up into the air with the sun shining down on the backdrop, the marble like shine eclipses the sun as its translucency was revealed, inside the core one could see a tiny symbol with the world neutral written in this world's writing. ''So pretty'' mutter Kalm as he admire the monster core, then without notice Nite flew up and knock the core off Kalm's hand, it flys up high into the air before making landfall...........inside Kalm's mouth.

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.

False Reality
Wildbridge was a sleepy town. Nothing much happened there. Well, not since... Martin. And that suited Serina just fine. But everything was about to change. Or had it already started changing, and all that was about to happen was that people were going to start noticing? Well, it's difficult not to notice when people start turning up dead. Murdered. Especially when you're a senior member of the Serious Crime Investigation team. Meanwhile, many light years away on the non-aligned planet of Jahanna, changes were already afoot, and there were whispers of rebellion and revolution on the streets. But death is not far away here, either. As the well-oiled machinery of the bureaucracy begins to stutter and creak under the weight of murder and betrayal, just how far will the Council go to maintain the status quo? How could the events in Wildbridge possibly have any bearing on Jahanna? And what exactly happened on Bershevah?
