《Aki's Abnormal Life》Chapter 1 - In another world.
Advertisement
Our life has been so ordinary up until now. Yeah, until now. And then, we got teleported into another world by a girl who doesn't look like a human. Looks like we also have been surrounded by three guys in a black cloak. They also doesn't look like a human.
They were staring at us, surprised by our sudden appearances. Miyuki avert her eyes from them. Me, on the other hand, was unfazed by their gazes since i have used to it.
"Ouch!"
A sudden pain reach my head. It feels like it will split at any seconds. Since we were teleported from another world with a weird ass method, i assumed it won't be easy. If we were to teleported without warning, our body will sure have to pay a cost. There is no exception.
This is also not a fantasy novel. This is a reality. Although our situations is exactly like a fantasy novel. I glance at Miyuki. Judging by her face, i'll assumed that her head hurts exactly like mine.
I try to ask her.
"Miyuki, are you alright?"
She nodded. I feel relieved. Other than the headaches, she looks physically fine.
"I am sorry for the costs that you have to paid. The faults lies within us."
The girl who apologize to us just now, start to approach us slowly, step by step. Looks like she was watching our well being since our first arrival.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Daikra Meiko Vanzie, the queen of Vanzie."
"Uhh.. you're a queen?"
"Yes, i'm a queen."
"Oh..i see.."
Now that i look at her properly, she does looks like a high class rich character. She has the looks, money, and power. Heck, she also a queen.
After she introduce herself, the silent echoes. Those guys in a black cloaks still staring at us, so i guess they won't say anything. Even the pain is starting to fade away. I guess Miyuki is also the same.

After that, Miyuki, who haven't say any single word since we've arrived, start to ask her a question.
"Where is exactly are we?"
The queen start to chuckle.
"We're in a world where demons and angels lives. This is a kingdom called Vanzie."
"Ohh..a kingdom of Vanzie.."
Miyuki is nodding her head. In shorts, we have been teleported to a world where demons and angels lives..
Cool!
...
That's not the point here!!
"So,how do we get back into our world?"
I tried to asked her. I don't want to live in another world. I just want to have an ordinary life like all the other side characters.
'Sigh'
The queen had sighed. Her face start to turn dark. This doesn't look good.
"We're really sorry. In order for us to teleport you into your world, we need a magic gem. This magic gem can only be obtain at the city of Lantis, a city that will magically appear once a year. The prices is ridiculously high. Even a royal member like me had a hard time to afford it. But, since this is our fault, we will try our best to give both of you a place to sleep. Give us a year to obtain the magic gem. Until then, both of you will have to stay in this world."
...
Eh?!!
"Wait a minute. You can't be kidding me, right?"
"Unfortunately, i am not joking."
The queen avert her gaze from me. I can't believe it..
Basically.. We were trapped?! Not quite a dream, huh?
"Before i proceed to the main topic, i would like both of you to save your questions for later. Right now, we must go to a warmer place. We will continued our conversations inside the castle."
Now that she mentions it, i do feel a little bit cold. Looks like this place's temperature has dropped. I can even see Miyuki is shivering.
"Not only that, i assumed both of you were hungry, right?"

...
I do feel hungry. I've skipped my lunch, and my stomach can't stop growling like a beast. Miyuki has already eaten, so she won't be too hungry.
"Yes. Thank you, Daikra-san!"
Miyuki bow her head.
"No, its fine. In any case, lets go outside."
She started to walk through a big hole that is near the purple circle, the spot where we have been summoned. Although she is a queen, she has been really nice to us since we were summoned. I though this kind of character will be a little bit.. you know, haughty.
Both of us are just following her steps from behind. She's the only one who knows how to leave this dark place.
Now that i look at this place carefully, this place look exactly like a cave. A dark, big cave. Other than that, i don't see anything out of ordinary. Except those three guys in a black cloak didn't even budge an inch. That's seems sketchy.
I mean, is she really tried to summon us? Why are we even here in the first place? I have a tons of questions for her.
Despite all that, this situation is exactly like a fantasy novel setting. I get this feeling that either she want us to slay this certain creatures, or let us become an adventure. I hope it wasn't any like that. It will be a major pain to deal with this world's problem.
And with all these thoughts on my mind, we continue to walk through this dark cave.
...
..
.
'Step' 'Step' 'Step'.
After a while, we saw a ray of light at ahead of us. And now we have left this place. Its feel a little warmer here. And now i can see the light-...
...
Goddammit, its dusk here. This world isn't that bright. Have we arrived into an alien planet or something?
...This is an another world, after all. Nothing is too surprising.
"This world.. its beautiful."
Miyuki said those words with praise. Looks like she was amaze with this world. I agreed that this world is really one hell of a world.
First off all, its dusk right now. There is barely a ray of light here. I can't even see a sun. Its like this is a demon world or something.
Wait..She did mention this is a world of 'demons' and 'angels'.
"In this world, there is no 'sun'. Pretty unique,right?"
I agreed on that one. Wait, what?
"Enough of sightseeing. We will be going."
Both of us nodded. After we walked for a while, we saw a carriage parked near the exit signboard. There is a coach sitting around, playing with the grass. He must be bored when waiting for us.
The queen greet him. He look pleased. Now that i see him carefully,he has a pointy ears and a blond hairs. The queen start to get inside the carriage.
"Now, lets go."
The queen invited us to the carriage. I let Miyuki go first, and then i'll go second. Because, why not? Now that all has aboard the carriage, the carriage begin to move.
...
..
.
After a few hours, the sky start to turn dark. I assumed its a night time. I can see the blue, dull moon is shining brightly throughout the dark sky.
And then our carriage start to past all the houses and cities. I can only say that this is a medieval era, the 'RPG' era.
After a while, we have arrived into the castle. It was huge. It is twice much bigger than those cities in Tokyo. When we left the carriage, i can see the there is a line of maids and butlers near the entrance. They aren't that different from those maids and butlers from my world.
When we left the carriage, they were bowing at us. I assumed they are welcoming us. Looks like this girl wasn't lying. She is the real queen.
After that, we go inside the castle.
Thus, we've arrived into a so-called kingdom called 'Vanzie'. I wonder what will happen next.

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.

This was ment to be the self-published 'real' book of Binary Progression; turns out there isn't much of a market for this kind of story... that and it sucked!

What’s worse, JohnWillStab, the number-one edgelord on the server is somehow ending up in positions of power despite literally being an undead rogue with evil magic tentacles! Will John’s edginess ruin the isekai? Why does the doctor have the highest kill-count in the game? Is 👑 really a valid character you could use for your username? Can the chef perform an exorcism? Why is God asking John for chicken nuggets? Really, he could just spawn them in - in fact, we saw him spawning food in before!
