ZANE'S P.O.V.
I stand out on the deck for a while. I feel something for her. She said that she's different, just like me. I know that she is different. That is why I like her, but does she like me the same way? No, I must not think of this. She is a friend. That is all.
I walk back inside the bounty and go to the kitchen. It's my turn to make dinner. The others are always pleased when it is my turn.
"Hay Zane, you okay?"
I turn around to see Jay, Kai, and Cole in the doorway.
"Yes, I'm fine." I say.
Physically, I am fine. But I am not emotionally. But I am a robot. A robot cannot love. I cannot love her the way Jay loves Nya. I am fine with being not able to love. It is impossible for me. But, there is something that I am feeling. Some emotion that I do not understand. Ever since she first took off her mask, I have been having these dreams about her. I dream about us being together. Every time I see her, I feel that there is more between us than just firendship.
When I look into her beautiful green eyes, my mechanical heart fills with joy. Her light blonde hair always gently in her face. Her pale skin is so-. That's right. She is not like me. I am a robot. My skin is not real, but hers is. I cannot love her the way someone else can.
"Dinner's ready." I say.
Everyone sits around the table and eats. They like my cooking more than anyone's. When we are all done, I stay to clean up.
"Hey, Zane. Don't worry about the dishes tonight. I can do them."

"Are you sure, Kai? It really is not a bother."
"Yeah I'm sure. You should just take a break every now and then, you know."
"Alright. If you say so, Kai."
I leave Kai to do the dishes and clean up. I go to the room I share with him, Jay, and Cole. I lie down on my bunk, thinking of Liz. Then I hear a knock on the window. I get up to see what it is. It's Falcon. He's tapping his beak against the glass.
"What is it, my flacon friend?" I ask.
It caws in response. His eyes blink a blue light, indicating that he has a message for me to see. I take out his memory chip and insert it into my proccessor. The memory starts to play.
"Zane, if you see this, then that mean Falcon really is a true friend. I have no doubt that he will bring this to you. However, that is not what I want to tell you. You already know that. I want to tell you something, but not like this. I can't tell you through a message. I need to tell you in person. Look out your window."
I turn back to the window, which is still open from when I let Falcon in, and see Liz sitting on the windowsill. I smile at her. She smiles back. She gets off and comes into the room, walking up to me slowly. She is so beautiful.
"What do you want to say?" I ask. My heart races with the hope of it being that she loves me, but I can't get too hopeful.
"This." She says.
She embraces me, kissing me. When she lets go, I stare at her.
"I knew that I loved you the very moment I first saw you, and that you loved me the first time you saw me. I just needed to tell you when we were alone. I also need to show you something that will help you understand so much more about you." She says.

"What is it?" I ask.
She holds her arm up so that Falcon can perch on it. She takes out a memory chip and hands it to me. Just like I did with the first memory, I insert it into my proccessor.
I am a child. I am playing with Falcon, my firend. Father watches me as I play. I am playing in the Birchwood Forest, where the Treehorns nest. I do not notice one coming towards me.
"Zane, watch out!" Father yells.
I look up to see the leg of a treehorn come down on top of me, then it walks away.
"Zane!" Father yells.
I am unconcious, but Falcon still sees everything. My body is crushed. I am dying. Father quickly takes me back inside the house, Falcon following cloesly behind. When we get to the bottom of the hollowed out tree, Father lays me down on a bed.
"I'm sorry, Zane." He says.
Then he goes to his workbench, making blueprints and gethering supplies. He gets to work on me. He is replacing the damaged parts of my body with metal. He is making me into a robot so that I survive. I open my eyes.
"Hello, Zane." Father says, adjusting his glasses.
The memory stops. I feel a tear roll down my face.
"You have questions, don't you?" Liz says.
I nod. "All of my life, I thought I was just a robot. But now I see that I was once human. How can this be? How come my father never told me? I was injured and dying, but I was human. Now I am only part human. He saved my life by making me into a robot. What am I now?"
She walks closer to me. "You are just Zane." She says.
Then we kiss. Now I know why I can dream, and feel emotions. I am just Zane. Part human and part robot, but still just Zane.

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.
