Ruby's POV
It's been 2 weeks since the Lost Mutts murdered Fiona.
Flashback:
I ran until I could see them at the shore of Mermaid Lagoon. Fiona had her hands tied behind her back and her feet tied to get her. I could see Pans shadow fly over, pick Fiona up and drop her in the lake.
"No!" I yelled from behind the tree, the Lost Boys were coming at me, but I didn't care. I sprinted to the lake and saw Fiona struggle and Struggle, splashing around, until the water was still. I fell to my knees hoping she would rise out of the water ok, but she didn't. I stood up and turned to see Peter Pan standing behind me.
"You Son Of A Bitch!" I furiously said walking towards him. He then flicked his hand and my eyes grew heavy. I fell in the ground and before I was out if it he whispered something in my ear.
"This is your punishment, for every year you left, A Lost Girl will die. And it will be your fault.
End of flashback.
Since that day I've lost 5 girls. Ivy, Rose, Clara, Melody, and Rita. All of them brutally murdered. But I'm not going to sit on my ass and watch my girls being picked off 1-by-1. It's time to fight back! When Peter and the Lost Boys slept, I found my way to the Echo Caves, where they were held. The only problem is that I have to say my 3 darkest secrets out loud. I got to the cave and stood at the edge of the cliff in the dark Echo Caves. I know what I have to do.
"Um.... work brain work!" I whispered to myself.
"I stole pixie dust from the hollow tree," Some stones rose out of the ground building about a 3rd of the path."

Then I admitted to something I never wanted to admit to.
"I kissed Felix my first night here 20 years ago."
The path built a little more.
Then my deepest darkest secret that I would've liked to keep.
"I'm still in love with Peter Pan." The rest of the path appears and I ran across to see my Lost girls.
"RUBY!, RUBY behind you!" The lost girls yelled.
I tuned and saw Peter behind me smirking.
"So you still love me?" He said with a small smile. I kept to the cage trying to open it, then before my very eyes, the cage disappeared and hovered over the edge of the cliff.
"No stop Please, I'll do anything just spare them!" I cried.
"Sorry Love but today we play by my rules." The next thing I remember is their screams, until It was silent. My family gone. I then stood up and stood ready to jump, I had no reason, I want to die. He pulled me back,
"No please, just let me die, please, please!" I screamed at him with tears in my eyes.
He transported us back to his tent and I stormed into the bathroom, slammed the door and locked it behind me. I went to the corner rolled into fetal position and just cried, I wanted to die but he wouldn't let me.
Peters POV
I knew she would try something, I made my way to the Echo Caves and caught her revealing her last secret.
"I'm still in love with Peter Pan." She ran to the cage I tired to sneak up on her but the lost girls warned her.
"So you still love me."
She ignores me and turns back to the cage. I snapped my fingers and lifted the cage over the cliff of the caves. 20 girls for 20 years.

"No stop please I'll do anything, just spare them!" She screamed it pained me to see her so defeated, but she had to pay, she left me.
"Sorry love today we play by my rules." I dropped the cage, she sat there just staring at the falling cage and listening to the lost girls screaming her name. She got up and walked to the edge, she looked like she was going to jump. I pulled her back and she looked at me. He eyes were overflowing with tears.
"No please just let me die, please, please!" she screamed. I transported us back to the tent and she stormed into the bathroom and locked the door. I could here her sobs and I felt really bad, I didn't mean to cause her this much pain.
I walked up to the door and knocked.
"Ruby." I said softly.
She opened the door and looked at me with fire in her eyes.
"You don't speak to me , you don't look at me, don't even acknowledge me, because I'll do the same. You are DEAD to me, DEAD!" she slammed the door in my face and I could here the mirror break in the bathroom........

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.
