“I promise to do my best to make them consider the help he has given to humanity this time… I will try to defend him with all the resources I have”
After we stare at each other for a while, Erwin finally makes a promise to try to protect Eren. And I know he would. He wasn't a fool and he knew what Eren could mean to this place… if you're very optimistic about it, you might even see it as a chance for humans to leave these walls!
…although, to be honest, I had seen a bit of what things were like near the third wall. Trying to recover that territory with only Eren's help was, at best, very difficult! Talk of humans being able to counter titans with just him was a dream within a dream.
Or at least that's how it seemed to me!
But well, his answer was enough for me. I was sure that he would carry out those words he said. There was only one problem, this didn't seem like enough for Mikasa… her gaze was still just as intense as she looked at these three.
"You must keep your words, because... if anything happens to the boy, then I will hold everyone who lives within the wall responsible."
““…””
I could only talk and… threaten the two fellows and the girl a bit to smooth things over a bit. Of course, this was only for Mikasa… for those three this had simply given them more things to think about! But, perhaps considering that there was no other option, Erwin nods.
With this, Mikasa could hand over Eren to them...
“…what are you going to do with those guys?”
"I'll take them to a certain place, don't worry, they probably won't cause trouble for the people who live within these walls anymore."
““…””
…I hope that my smile has conveyed that I was not lying in my words.
If these guys don't submit to me after they wake up, then I can only get rid of them! There was no reason to have any regrets about that, Rainer along with Bartolt were genocidal… and the other two girls weren't that much better. One at least fully agreed with those two, and the other… from what I can see was more than willing to kill anyone she consider a nuisance.
Several of the soldiers who had returned along with Saeko were apparently quite injured… they needed others to help them move. If they're alive, that's just down to luck or the armor they were wearing!
…it's good that I sent these guys with her, otherwise, very well Saeko could be the one with such injuries! Or maybe things could be even worse!!
“Well… I'd like to talk more, but we'll have to do that later. Now we must concentrate on exterminating the titans that are still inside the Rose wall”
“Yes… I would also like the two of us to have a talk later.”

With nothing more to say, Erwin and those two along with Eren leave using the [Three-Dimensional Movement Equipment]. There were many things I would like to discuss with him, but now he obviously prioritized resolving the situation within these walls.
…I could only wait to talk to this scouting force commander. It does seem that the boy I saw last time had risen in rank just as I had hoped.
"You guys better get back now before you draw more attention."
“Alexander-sama, won't you come back together with us? I'm sure the citadel leaders will be very happy to see you! ”
"...there will be more time later to do that, now I have to complete some things in this place"
"…I get it"
The truth is that seeing these people now that the situation was much calmer than before, I had some concern to return to the citadel I founded before… the eyes of many of these people were not very different from Mikasa's! They looked at me with some adoration!!
…I had a bad feeling about that.
Before they set out again for what was now their home, I had to make sure the three we had captured did not create problems. I take out several [Collars of Slavery] to put on them.
Yeah, even though there were two women, this time I didn't plan on wearing something like what I gave Milene and Shisuka… these things I put on these girls and Rainer weren't fun at all! If they disobeyed me or acted suspiciously, then I wouldn't hesitate to activate their mechanism which was to instantly decapitate them!
It might not be something that people like Shigure like quite a bit, but… I had no choice. If they turned back into titans, then again we would have to go through the same troubles to capture or kill them!
And with this, even though they do, these necklaces will still be attached to their necks even if they are in their titan form! So once I activate them, then these will still be functional.
I make sure to tell my soldiers to tell them about this when they wake up. Also, to immobilize them while I'm not there to prevent them from transforming into titans. Even though I had taken measures in case they transformed, it wasn't a good thing to allow them to do so. After all, it would still be somewhat troublesome.
There were people in the citadel who also possessed that ability, so surely they will be able to find a way to achieve that.
[Mission/Optional “Capture or eliminate the traitors of humanity” – F
Within this place, there are 4 people infiltrated with the ability to transform into titans that are harmful to people within these walls, catch them or eliminate them to secure the area.
Objective: Catch or eliminate those 4 People (3 people captured)
Rewards: 600 x RC per Captured Person
600 x BG per Captured Person
Unlock using Modern Weapons.
Additional Rewards:
10 x Titan Transformation Serums - E (Reduced Side Effects)
5 x Anti-Personnel Firearms Set Coupons (100)
5 x Anti-Material Firearms Set Coupons (10)
5 x Military anti-personnel vehicle coupons
So, after seeing the soldiers march again towards the citadel outside these walls, the mission that was about these guys is over. It's a shame that Bartolt managed to escape, but as I thought, the rewards weren't bad despite that.

Most importantly, with this, we could now use modern weapons in this world! That damn limitation was finally gone!!
Yes, it was a bit fun to play spiderman and use swords, but… after a while it gets boring! The best thing is always efficiency and speed to defeat the enemy, and there is nothing better to achieve this than modern weapons!
…well, it's still in doubt how effective these can be, but at least I think BIMs won't let me down.
The only bad thing is… I didn't have many in my storage right now. I could get a production line with the wealth I have now with no problem, but… there were many difficulties with this even so!
First the raw materials… there is gunpowder in this world, but… it is far from having nuclear materials for the most complicated BIMs!
Well, I could still do something with it with the system…almost every titan meant a red crystal after all! But perhaps the biggest problem was that… the idea of people who barely have the technology to use steam engines understanding such things is very unrealistic.
…no, I can't get depressed about that, it was still better to have the option to use modern weapons than not to be able to!
“ What do we do, Alex-san? ”
"...let's also help finish off the titans that are still around the place"
"Yes!"
"U-n…"
"...it's alright, Alexander-sama."
“…haaa~ Why do I have to keep working? Give me my boxes of sweets, I want to return to the citadel so I can eat them in peace! ”
With two motivated girls, Saeko and Shigure, and two not so much... Mikasa still seemed a little depressed because Eren had been taken away, and Horo ... Horo was still Horo, we all moved to do what I said.
I guess it wasn't bad to keep increasing my titan kill counter in my head.
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
When things seem to have finally ended, night had fallen in this place. In part this helped a bit… titans reduced their activity a lot during this period. It was much easier for others to deal with the titans after finding them.
Not long after another titan sighting was probably no longer reported, finally our group, consisting of only recruits, was called. It was time for our graduation… and sadly, many hadn't been able to make it here. It could be said that they failed the training... which in this case meant that they lost their lives!
…yes, it wasn't precisely that they didn't pass the training, but that they ended up being titan food during the previous invasion! Probably 1/3 of all the recruits from different training teams had died that way.
There were many tears at this graduation as in others in my past life, but… I'm sure the atmosphere was very different now than on those occasions!
Man…this was fucking depressing…besides, what were the guys upstairs thinking to order the recruits' graduation to take place after the titans had breached the wall again? Don't they have a little conscience?!
At this point, those who made it through the training…or maybe I should say survived, would have to choose which of the military branches they wanted to join.
Well, most of them only had two options… the Military Police was like the cream of the crop, only the best could get in there.
As for me, Horo, Shigure, and Saeko… the high-up bastards only gave us one option, the [Expedition Force]! We just had no choice for choice.
Well, it didn't matter… I would have chosen the same one since I wanted to talk to Erwin and this one will allow me to leave this place without any problems.
Not that I needed the latter exactly though… I could leave whenever I wanted and, in fact, he plans to do so soon.
The only thing holding me back a bit was being able to talk to Erwin, and… Eren. Mikasa was still very worried about her fate. Apparently, and from what little I remember of the anime, he should be judged after this.
“ Well, it's the turn of the three of you… where do you want to enter? ”
“…the military police~”
“…”
When the guy who was giving an emotional speech finished what he was saying and starts asking each recruit that, and finally it's my turn, I could only answer him that. Well... I just wanted to fuck him up a bit…and I had. His face not knowing what to do now looking at the other soldiers who are attending this process was quite funny.
From my previous achievements during the fight, surely I could tell that if they said I wasn't qualified to take one of those places ah that militia force, then surely no one here could do it!
“…You will be assigned to the [Expedition Force] just like the girls next to you.”
The one who ends up answering is someone who seemed to have a considerable position in the military, and it seems that he didn't like me very much… seriously, how can you hate a boy like me?! That's unnatural, you know?!
"…whatever~"
“…”
Leaving such discrimination aside, curiously most of the people who were standing in line choose the [Expedition Force] even though some of them would be candidates for the [Military Police], like Mikasa's case.
But this doesn't surprise me, the girl had been following me practically everywhere... and there was also Eren who was in Erwin's custody for now. At least the ones above had enough brains to know that if he turned into a titan, the ones who had a better chance of controlling the situation were those who were much more used to fighting titans.
…or at least that's what I want to believe. Otherwise, with those guys in charge of this place, they're just in for annihilation sooner or later.
The good thing is that this depressing atmosphere also comes to an end… seriously, this seemed more like a funeral than graduation! But… on second thought, that very well is what this could have been! A way to say goodbye to all those who had died in the attack on titans recently.
Tomorrow we would be assigned to our respective places… and unfortunately, there was no such thing as a celebration after graduation! I had thought that after two weeks of abstinence, I could finally spend some time with Shigure and Saeko, but we are returned to the training headquarters to wait for someone to come for us the next day!
I could only lie in bed waiting for the sun to come up so I could go to where the [Scouting Force] was and then I could get out of here!

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.

(Archived) The Badger Dungeon (Being Rewritten)
Please note: This is the old and original version of this story, it is currently being rewritten to be more cohesive and coherent. The new version will have additional content. Dungeons. They're supposed to be places full of danger and loot, where heroes come to fight monsters, gain experience, and hopefully walk out with some really cool armor. They're supposed to be controlled by a sentient mana crystal with an alien intelligence with goals only to expand, devour, and become stronger in order to protect itself. Sometimes, however, they're home to a family of badgers and an assortment of other strange creatures. Sometimes their core has absolutely no idea what they're doing and is really just trying their best, so can you all please stop judging them? It started out as a complete mistake and now they're just in way too deep to turn their back on the whole badger thing!
