Chapter 560: Chapter 560 – Unexpected Gain 2
Chapter 560: Unexpected Gain 2
Within a while, Luke managed to arrive at a narrow alley .
Maybe it was the aftermath of the battle, all the buildings around the alley had collapsed, and there were blood spots on the ground very clearly .
One side were a few bodies whose faces were covered with handkerchiefs .
The groans of the men could be heard while they were being treated by Reina .
“Reina!”
“Ahh, you are okay!”
Seeing Luke alive and well, Reina rushed over to him with tears in her eyes and hugged him .
Luke took a close look at her to see if she had been injured anywhere, and when he was sure that she wasn’t hurt, he yelled at her .
“Didn’t I tell you to step back if something dangerous happened?!”
“But I was worried and I couldn’t stop myself . ”
“Huh, Holiness is really a troublesome person . ”
Victor and her escorts knights all nodded their heads in agreement .
Bertie, the young lady knight, spoke her heart .
“Your Majesty, Holiness almost treated you as dead . Even if all that was left of you was the body, she insisted on bringing it back with her, and there was no way we’re able to stop her . ”
“Retrieve my body… hold on, can’t you at least believe in my skills?”
“They say that a Sword Master can be killed by a sniper arrow . ”
“What do you think of me as?! My skills are a lot more than the Sword Master level!”
‘Uhm . ’
Karen, who was dozing off along with the injured, opened her eyes at the loud noise around her .
After defeating Baymon, she ended up exhausting all the power in her body and decided to take some rest, and in that time, her father entered the scene and ended up fighting with her mother .

‘They aren’t going to get divorced because of this, right? They can’t!’
She was worried that the history would twist itself, but fortunately, the argument didn’t spread much .
It was because everyone was worried about everyone in the end .
“Well, those dead ones, did they die because of the sudden raid?”
“Some of them are those, but there were those who attacked us and we inevitably killed them . ”
Luke was shocked by what Victor said .
“They were the raid team? The Saint Guard knights?”
The Saint Guards was the best division of the Holy Empire and were natural guards for the Pope .
And all the armors of the dead Saint Guards were the ones of paladins .
Then, why would they attack their own Pope?
“They belonged to the 4th squad who were dispatched and managed to survive, they spoke something about the Pope being fake and them serving the real one . ”
And those, who were captured without being killed were told to have returned back to their normal forms .
It was because the one who performed the magic, Baymon had died, however, Reina and her party couldn’t figure it out .
“Wh- what all did we do…?!”
“El- El Kassel! Please forgive our sins!”
The paladins of the 4th squad Saint Guards, who remembered what they had done began to shed tears and wailed .
Reina went close to them and comforted them .
“Don’t blame yourself too much because of it . You were brainwashed by the wicked men . And now we need to head down to those who did this and solve this problem . ”
Luke, who looked at Reina with a warm smile, soon found a girl who was struggling to move and was shocked .
“Karen! You are Karen, right? Right?”
Karen took a step ahead because she wanted to move and was held by Luke’s hands .

“Why did you disappear without even saying a word to me? And what are you doing here? Did Saint Nanda bring you here?”
Luke looked all over Karen’s body by asking questions one after another .
It was because during her stay in the palace, she looked like her existence was at stake and she would disappear someday .
However, looking at her then, she seemed normal and a little taller than before .
And he could feel a significant amount of Aether in her body, while Luke was taking a closer look at her .
“Her name is Karen?”
Reina suddenly asked and Luke nodded .
“Yes . She was the one who saved me when I was in the crisis that day . ”
“I see . And this time she saved me . The man behind all this was attacking and she came here to help…”
Luke was surprised when she heard everything from Reina .
He was wondering who had managed to defeat Baymon and turn him to a mess, but for the person to be Karen!
‘No, it isn’t that strange either . According to Hwang Bo-sung, this child is a genius wizard who was considered as the only hope for the future . ’
He wasn’t sure if it was because of Nanda, but Karen seemed to have gotten a little color back in her cheeks .
Maybe he knew what was going on, and that was why she was sent to save Reina .
The zombie incident which had happened wasn’t something which was present in the original timeline, but she was someone from the future, and had enough experience and knew about Arsene .
“Well, I am just glad that you are safe and healthy . You have no idea how worried I was . ”
Listening to Luke’s words, Karen could feel herself fill up with joy and grabbed her father’s hand .
She felt it before, when she fought with her mother, that the blood bond was something which wouldn’t be broken, and under any circumstances, they would all come together .
Bang! Bang!
Luke, who was in a warm mood, went stiff when he heard sounds from a distance .
“What was that?”
At Reina’s questions, Luke spoke his thoughts .
“Maybe the Holy Empire’s troops fighting the zombies . ”
“Even now? I ordered for their withdrawal . ”
“You really think that Arch Duke Gregory would listen to that after what you did?”
From what Luke knew, Arch Duke Gregory was the kind of person who would enter the zombie lair or even the Devildom if it meant to find the Pope .
Thinking so, he smiled .
“This is fun . The Pope who doesn’t listen to her husband and the Chief Commander of the Holy Empire . Such a great match made in heaven . ”
“You are being mean! You don’t have to say all that!”
“Hahaha . I guess it was too much . But, did I say anything wrong?”
Luke turned around and looked at Victor, Bertie, and the other knights, who nodded their heads .
“Well, I will go and take a look at the situation of the army, so stay here and wait . Do not move anywhere . ”
“Okay, please come back quickly . ”
“Karen, Reina, both of you please stay put . ”
Karen nodded her head .
Luke stroked Karen’s head and flew to the south where the Holy Empire army was supposedly still in battle .

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.

Three factions oversaw the continent of Jumana. They were the Palace of Anima, Church of Arbor, and Seditio. The Palace of Anima worshipped Fate. A divine principle by which the order of events has been inevitably predetermined. The proxies of the Palace were the Moirais as they were blessed with precognition, great mana talent, and high affinity with Fate. The Church of Arbor revere Conscience. A moral principle that inhibits or influences the thoughts or actions of a person. Their advocates were the Fae, children born from the Tree of Truths. An ancient, sentient tree who bore the Fruit of Good and Evil. The third, Seditio, a clandestine society that was established by the Enlightened One. A peculiar individual who ate the Fruit of Good and Evil and lived to tell the tale.

Was blessed with the gift of foresight and talent for mana. On one fateful night, however, he was cast away by a tragedy, and all was slowly taken away from him. "Why did the Seditio attack us?
