《You're Safe with me // RICCI RIVERO》8
Advertisement
Ngayon na ang balik namin ng manila. Di na saamin sasabay sila mom kaya kasabay namin ngayon si Ahia, Dahia, at Gelo.
Di ko alam kung anong gagawin para di kami magkailangan ni Nathalia lalo na at dito panaman siya sasakay sa shotgun seat.
To be honest I didn't regret what I did last night. Little by little nagustuhan ko na siya.
I like the way how she treats my parents specially dad. Yung feeling na dahil sikat kami kaya siya ganon pero hindi ang natural nung sakanya. I can see in her the exact ideal girl for me.
Isinakay na namin lahat ng gamit namin sa kotse at nagpaalam na ako kila Riley at kila mom.
Ang tagal ni Nathalia kaya pumasok uli ako sa bahay para ayain na siyang umalis. I saw her with Mom, they're talking.
Paglabas niya ay nakipag beso muna siya kila mom and dad at lumapit saakin.
"Can I drive?"tanong niya agad saakin ng nakangiti.
"No." Baka magkasakit nanaman to jusqo di ko kaya na makita siya na ganon uli.
"Why?? Please half way lang promise" pakiusap niya habang niyuyugyog ang braso ko.
"Ok fine. Halfway lang Nathalia Paras ah." Binigay ko kaagad yung susi sakanya at tumakbo siya papuntang drivers seat.
Suot niya uli yung hoodie ko at naka sweatpants siya. Ang lakas talaga ng appeal niya.
Pinastart niya yung engine at nag sign of the cross muna siya bago mag drive.
"Goodmorning guys, I'm your driver for todays ride. Nathalia Paras holding the wheel and hope you had a great and excellent morning. Hope you enjoy!" She said like a pilot kaya napangiti kaming lahat. She never failed for letting us smile.
"We hoped so"pang aasar ni Kuya Rash.
After an hour nag stop over muna kami sa may gas station tas sa harap noon ay may magandang view.

Nag cr muna kami tapos pagkalabas ko ay tapos na siya bigla niya akong hinila patawid.
"Dahan dahan nga at baka masagasaan tayo e"
"Wala naman dumadaan kaya okay lang yung tyaka look oh we're still alive kaya wag kang ano diyan." Napailing nalang ako sa sinabi niya napakakulit.
Binigay niya saakin yung phone niya para picturan ko daw siya. Halos lahat stolen pic yung kinuha ko sakanya at habang nakatalikod pa siyang nag aayos ay nag airdrop ako sa phone ko ng ilang photos niya. HEHEHE.
"Ikaw naman dali!!" Kinuha niya yung phone niya saakin at yun ang ginamit niyang pang pic saakin.
Nakaraming pic siya saakin tapos sumunod sila kuya. Pagkatapos noon ay nagbyahe na ulit kami.
Napapansin kong dahan dahan niyang binibilisan ang pagpapatakbo niya.
"Heyy you're getting faster" saway ko sa kanyaa pero nginitian niya lang ako.
Mas lalong bumilis yung takbo ng sasakyan habang siya ay sumasabay lang sa kanta habang ako yung kaba ko nasa leeg ko na.
"Nathalia I swear gusto ko pang mabuhay okay." Mahinahon kong sabi sakanya pero grabe na talaga yung kaba ko.
"Chill ka lang nga sahia ang sarap kaya sa feeling" pag gatong pa ni Gelo.
"Diba?? Ang saya kaya." Banat pa ni Nathalia
"Ahia, dahia di niyo man lang ba sasawayin si Nathalia?"tanong ko kina kuya pero parang nag eenjoy rin.
"Ang nerbyoso mo kasi cci eh."nasermonan pa tuloy ako.
"Bahala kayo tatawagan ko sila Mom."pananakot ko sa kanila.
"Oh bat napatawag ka sahia?"
"Ang bilis kasing magpatakbo ni Nathalia tapos di pa sinasaway nila Ahia" sumbong ko.
"Sahia relax okay. Nagpaalam naman saamin si Lia eh tyaka racer siya dati di mo alam"
"Ewan ko sainyo mom pati ba naman kayo. Bye na nga"
Binaba ko na yung tawag. Ang bilis parin ng patakbo niya tapos usapan lang naman namin kanina 5 hrs lang siya magbabyahe.

"Gentleman's we're now arrived in manila. Less than an hour we're gonna arrived in our destinations" announce niya nanaman.
"Anong manila 5hrs palang tayong nagbabyahe ah wag ka ngang mema" pagsusungit ko sakanya.
"I'm not kidding Mr. Rivero. Why don't check it yourself."
Aba loko to ah 5hrs lang yung isabela to manila sakanya. Mabuti na lang buhay pa kami.
Mayamaya ay nakarating na kami sa condo niya pero di ko parin siya pinapansin kasi naman kung mag drive siya parang wala ng bukas.
Ibinababa na nila kuya yung gamit niya samantalang ako andito lang sa drivers seat. Bahala sila.
Nang may kumatok sa bintana ko kaya ibinaba ko.
"Are you mad?"tanong niya. Umiling lang ako.
"I know you are mad." Salita niya ulit pero di ko siya tinitignan.
"Look I'm sorry. Pansinin mo na ako Ricci Rivero!!"pangungulit niya pero di ko parin siya pinansin.
"Okay fine. I'll go na. Drive safely"last niyang sinabi tas umakyat na siya sa condo niya.
//
Di ako pinapansin ni Ricci dahil sa pagdrive ko kanina. Hay nako.
Magpapahinga lang ako saglit at pupuntahan ko yung resto kasi titgnan ko na yung mga natapos na then bibili na ako ng mga materials para sa mga interior.
Pagkatapos kong magpahinga ay nag shower muna ako tapos nag suot lang ako ng t-shirt at shorts tapos yung slip ons ko kasi mainit sa labas tapos mamimili lang naman ako.
Hiniram ko yung car ni Kobe kasi wala naman siyang pupuntahan. Nagpapabili lang siya ng pagkain.
Nakita ko na yung resto. Malaki siya di ko ineexpect na para siyang tatlong apartment ang laki niya tapos up and down pa. May mga shelves na rin. Meron naring mga sink, kompleto na yung mga bowl sa cr kaya ang kulang nalang ay mga furnitures at mga pintura.
Pagkabili ko ng mga pintura ay sinimulan agad nila. Di muna ako bumili ng mga furnitures kasi di pa tapos magpintura mga 1 week pandaw bago matapos.
Sakto lang kasi 2 weeks panaman bago ang birthday ni tito kaya may 1 week para sa pag pintura tapos yung last na week ay para na sa furnitures.
Umuwi na ako at naabutan ko si Kobe sa sofa nanunood ng Lucifer.
"Kobe here is your food."
"How's your stay with the Riveros?"tanong niya sa akin habang nakaupo sa harap ko at kumakain din.
"It was good. They treat me like a Rivero too. Ricci is mad at me"
"Well I drove isabela to manila for 5hrs and I didn't listen to him to slow down."kwento ko sakanya at napailing siya.
"Kahit naman ako no. Don't worry madali lang yun suyuin"natawa ako sa sinabi niya na madali lang suyuin eh di ko namn yun susuyuin at wala akong balak.
Pagkatapos namin kumain ay natulog na kami kasi pupunta daw ang upmbt dito bukas.

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.
