Pokemon: Master Of Tactics Chapter 41
Advertisement
Pewter City
Alex left Team Rocket Base early in the morning and made his way to the Viridian Forest.
In a dark alley, Alex suddenly heard a scream. He took Golbat and Scyther out of their Pokeballs and said, "Hey, I just heard a scream. We'd better take a detour."
Alex is not a hero. He doesn't want to get tangled into unnecessary problems.
As he walking by he saw two youngsters with two Rattata beating up a man. Alex recognized one of the youngsters. He was robbed by that asshole many times.
Alex looked at the two Pokemon and saw that these Rattata are only LV 16. They also had normal potential.
He was so mad that he was robbed by such weak trainers. These criminals were weaker than new Team rocket members.
But he had to admit that it made sense. Only weak trainers would steal from normal people. Since the risk is too high and the reward is ridiculously small. If you are caught by the police then your life is over. Although it was a different case for Alex since he is unofficial member police won't do any investigation. But if you are still caught red-handed then police would still catch you. So the risk is still there.
Alex said coldly, "Golbat, Scyther, surround these two trainers and quickly defeat their Rattata."
Golbat and Scyther saw that Alex was very angry and quickly flew in the direction of the two Rattata.
The two teenagers saw a Golbat and a Scyther flying in their direction and started running away.
Of course, they are much slower than Alex's Pokemon and were quickly surrounded. Both trainers wanted to ask what was going on when they saw both their Pokémon being attacked by Golbat and Scyther.
Both Rattata didn't even last for 30 seconds.

Alex walked slowly in the direction of the encircled people and said coldly, "Do you remember me?"
A boy named Peter said, "You, it's you!. Aren't you bank account #13? Why are you suddenly so strong?"
Alex said coldly, "Bank account # 13? So that's what you call me."
Alex laughed coldly and said, "I didn't want to kill you, but I've changed my mind now."
Peter saw that he had said something very stupid and said, crying, "Please, please don't kill me. I'll do whatever you say please."
Alex looked at the beaten man who was lying on the floor. There was a lot of blood on the floor. Alex checked whether the man still had a pulse and noticed that this man is very likely dead.
Alex said seriously, "That makes it easier for me. Golbat, Scyther knock these two people out."
The two people continued to plead for mercy but were quickly knocked unconscious by Alex's Pokemon.
Alex thought, "Ok Alex. You have two murderers in front of you. You have to kill them. It's now or never. But can I kill these two people? Fuk...This is so sick. Ok ok, stay calm. I have to do it now anyway. I don't want to deal with the revenge by the boss of these two idiots. Fuk, I don't want to do this anymore. I need to clear my mind first. Ok stay calm and stop thinking about it."
Alex took a knife out of his pocket. He had bought it for self-defense.
He took this sharp knife in his trembling hands and held it tightly. Then he knelt from the man lying down and positioned himself so that he could easily hit the man. Alex didn't know the best spot for a quicker death and he thought the neck was a good option. He was afraid if he hit the head that he might not be able to do it properly with these trembling hands since the head is the strongest part of the human body.

Alex took a deep breath and swung his knife the man's neck with full force. He thought of nothing while stabbing him.
The knife hit the neck and stuck in the middle of the neck. Alex couldn't cut through the spine.
Alex quickly pulled out the knife and a lot of blood spurted out of the wound. Blood sprayed on his clothes and his head.
The man suddenly woke up. Alex was immediately shocked and frightened. He ran back a few steps.
Alex thought that man would scream in pain, but the man couldn't say anything. He tried to put his hands on his throat and tried to stop the blood but it was useless. Peter made a soft noise. It sounded like he was screaming in deep water.
Alex stopped and didn't dare to go a step further. He hoped the man would bleed to death soon.
He didn't know how much time was spent but the man became quieter and quieter. Alex suddenly heard nothing more and was relieved. To Alex, it felt like he was waiting here for hours.
Alex looked at the body and immediately vomited. He was completely messed up.
Scyther and Golbat noticed that Alex couldn't do it alone and went to him.
Golbat looked at the Other Man and quickly used Wing Attack on his head. Golbat parted the man's head cleanly.
Scyther went to Alex and gave Alex a strange look. He didn't know why Alex is so sad. Besides, he doesn't know how to cheer Alex up.
Golbat took the three corpses and threw them into the garbage. He uses Haze to get all the blood off the floor. Haze can also be used for cleaning. Many rich people have a Pokemon in their villa that keeps the villa clean with Haze.
Alex looked trembling at what Golbat was doing and vomited again. He didn't think his first murder would shake him that much.
Golbat and Scyther both looked at Alex and didn't know how to cheer Alex up.
Scyther suddenly had an idea. He went to Alex's pokemon belt and took out the Pokeball of Ralts.
Alex didn't get Ralts out because Alex knows that Ralts is a Pokemon that doesn't want to kill Pokemon or people. He doesn't want to let Ralts do something she'd hate.
Scyther took Ralts out of her Pokeball and said to Ralts in Pokemon language, "Alex is very sad. Can you cheer him up?"
Ralts looked at her Father and felt his mixed-up emotions. Ralts immediately ran to Alex and hugged him while crying.
Alex looked at the crying little Ralts and gave her a light hug.
After 3 minutes, Alex calmed down a bit. He had Golbat remove the blood from his clothes and he cleaned his face with a towel in his bad. Then he walked slowly towards Viridian Forest.
Ralts stayed on Alex's shoulder and looked restlessly at Alex. She was very sad that her father was so sad and conflicted.

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.
