《Another life》Chapter 14
Advertisement
For those of you who don't understand why, and how did this happen. Please read chapter 13 again, cause I have made a few changes. And by few I mean, a lot there's a lot of things that I change that I deleted the previous chapter. Once again for causing this things, I apologize.
----------------------------------------------------
It’s morning, and we start our day by eating breakfast. The food for today breakfast are bread, a soup, and a glass of water. Not to satisfying, but at least eatable.
After that, dad get ready for his new job as a knight. I know what you all thinking, but when apply for the job he paint his hair blue, and cut his hair to make sure he won't get recognize.
Before dad went to work, I ask him to sell the potions I made yesterday. When I said that he look slightly worried probably because he don't like the idea of his son working. So I told him that the money for those potions are for me.
It's not like I intend to use all of them for me, I plan on using 50℅ for myself 30℅ for the family, and 20℅ will be kept for emergencies. Even if I say that I haven't have any earnings yet, so right now this whole thing is just meaningless.
When dad left for work, I start practicing magic. I'm a little bit bored with how I usually train, so today I think of something new.
Usually I would just make a ball of magic, and then increase it the amount, and sometimes meld them. This time I choose to change the shape of my magic, from ball into something more.. Interesting.
First I create a snake like rock figure made from earth magic. It's quality is definitely lower than those of a sculptor but at least it shapes like a snake, and have eyes in it.

Seeing that it went so successful I start creating all sorts of different object from all sorts of elements.
Like, a bird made from fire, a mermaid made from water, a small typhoon made from wind.I even use the advance ones like a salamander made from ice, a dragon made from lightning, and a person with white wing, and black wing made from both light, and dark magic.
Then after I got accustomed to making them, I change them into something else, increasing the amount one by one, and increasing the detail as well.
I was completely drawn into the whole thing, that when I look at the clock it's already 12.00. And just about that it's time for lunch.
For lunch, dad came back for a while to make me one, and quickly left as soon as I'm done. He also gave me the money that he got from selling potions.
We got 20 silvers, 14 silvers from the red one, and the rest from selling the blue one. Let's see, with this much I can buy food, for 2 weeks. I didn't think that I'll get this much just by selling potion, I'll make more potions later, and sell them again.
Not only will I get more money, but I'll also gain experience on using Alchemy. So I'll be hitting 2 birds with one stone if decided to do that.
After dad go back to his work, I wash the dishes, and clean the house of course I use magic for this cause I have never do those things even in my past life, and it look so troublesome to do it by hand.
Next it's time for me to rest for a while, and have a chat with Whis. Yeah, it's pretty sad knowing I'm talking to a book instead of a human. Besides chatting with him, I also experience the “image” once in a while.

After an hour or 2 has passed it's time for me to do grocery shopping so I went outside to buy some food, and some ingredients for Alchemy.
For food, I usually look around first to find the freshest ones there is, with the cheapest price there is. For the ingredients that I need for Alchemy, I just bought at the place with the cheapest price, since almost every ingredients have the same purity and in need of refining.
When I bought those things, I used to carry them while pretending to carry them by holding them. Again, it's to avoid any unwanted attention.
At the house, after I store all of the food I go to my room, and make some potions. Before that I refine all of the ingredients, this is because if I refine them it'll increase the quality of the potions, plus this serve as practice so I can gain more experience when it comes to refining.
Refining the ingredients need a lot of Mana, and focus cause I need to adjust the temperature of the flame, the volume of water/ wind, the amount of time I refine them all, and the moment I need to stop refining them because if I over did it then the quality will drop more than when it used to.
After making those potions, I took a rest, and wait till father came back. When he did, he cook dinner for both of us, and we eat together at the table.
When that's done, we proceed on doing the things we want to do, like practicing magic, or by simply looking outsire and enjoy the view.
When we get sleepy, we sleep. Then in the next morning the whole thing starts over again.
From waking up, to eating breakfast, practicing magic, eating lunch, cleaning the house, grocery shopping, making potions, eating dinner, and sleep. Then repeat it over again the next morning.
This repeating yet not so monotonous lifestyle continue on for days, then to weeks, and eventually to months. And before we knew it 2 years passed in a blink if an eye.
2 whole years filled with these activities passed, and just like that I became 5 years old.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
