What The Luck!? Chapter 170

"Are you sure? I can just go look for it, you can sit here and wait." Asher was still on edge as soon as he saw Jane pushing herself.
"No, I am going to find it before you and get the points. Then I will get you ice cream." Jane was very confident in her statement and Asher nearly felt bad for saying he was going off to find it.
"You go Jane! Get your ice cream date!" Sammy pushed the encouragement she could but the result was Jane and Asher becoming much more embarrassed than before.
"You killed the mooood." Laura nudged Sammy while giggling a little. The two of them started to whisper abut their own gossip while Jane pushed them away and headed toward the camp to search.
"Bro, go make sure she stays you know, standing up. I will teach these two a little lesson on discretion." Art cracked hi knuckles menacingly and received a few glares from the two girls.
"You're right. She could still be light headed." Asher grabbed the water bottle Jane had been drinking from and sprinted to catch up to her.
"So are they dating or just acting weird all the time? I'm terrible at figuring that sort of thing out." Jackson was a little nervous to ask Art this since he had always failed to see when people liked each other or were flirting. It had caused him to walk in the middle of some awkward situations.
"Being weird. They really need to just be flat out with each other. But hey, that's on them and not us, i'm just letting them do them." Art turned to Sammy and Laura, "And if you two decided to play match maker and annoy them then I will make sure that you both learn to walk to school with a fifty point lead ball and chain around your feet."

"We are ladies, you should speak to us using elegance." Sammy tried to play her own cards against Art but instead that caused him to advance and put pressure on them.
"Well I guess you want to start with extra training before searching for the luxury cabin egg. I knew you were dedicated. How abut I show you the insane work out that Asher's sister Cara put me through." The evil look on Art's face made her back down.
While the four of them continued this skit Louis found himself farther away in the woods than he had meant to. "Dang man, I thought he was actually going to kill me." He had run from Asher do to his threat after Louis had still posted the video. "So worth it." Louis laughed watching it again.
The forest was fairly quiet and he found that he was completely alone. The morning had been fairly hot and his running had pushed him a little farther than he wanted. Louis decided to take off his bandages since no one else appeared to be around and it was the best way too cool off.
His face was much more smooth and clean than anyone else's since he had been protected from the dust of the sparring field. Since he had been wearing them since he got his super power and only took them off when he bathed for safety reasons his skin had started to take on a more tender appearance.
The contrast of his blue eyes flashing with electricity and his pale white skin made him look to be some form of specter. "So much better. I should burn off my lighting all the time." He fell back on to the ground and enjoyed the peace. He had no problem being alone and actually enjoyed it. His time with his friends was great too, but having the time t sit and think was dear to his heart.

"I was able to shock someone without any problem today. I didn't even zap the entire area around me. Maybe I should find those mushrooms again…" Louis had made a lot of progress as he had embraced his super power while under the influence of the accidental mushroom incident with the others.
"Maybe I am just too afraid of it when I am focused on it." Louis was talking himself through these things slowly but surely and decided to try and create a small electrical current between his fingers.
He held his fingers an inch apart and tried to make the low amount of lightning in his body react. He was met with a small pop and the smell of burning. 'It didn't stay, what the heck.' Louis got a little more annoyed that it hadn't stayed like a smooth arc. He had seen the way it reacts in science class between two pieces of metal.
"Why is it when I use it I'm like a Tesla coil shooting off bolts but when I see it everywhere else it is steady and controlled." He sat up and held his two hands an inch apart trying again and again. With no one around to see him or get zapped he had no fear of trying this again and again.
The loud electrical pops were only heard by him and the animals as his practice became constant. He was exhausting the lightning his body created as soon as it appeared but the more he pushed the more feeling he had. He knew that the lightning in his body was constantly bouncing around his cells without any direction. It was just there moving around like a kid full of sugar.
"I need to make it more uniform, but when is electricity ever uniform?" He was pushing himself to dig up any small facts he had inside his brain. Every single science class he had had was being replayed over and over. The pictures ion electricity and weather from text books surfacing.
"Ha! In the electrical circuits!" Louis jumped up and started to try and use his body as its' own electrical circuit. The process was not easy and he felt that he had just sent his body in to overdrive. But it was a good feeling, he was going to make progress and the next match the looks of amazement his friends had for Jane would be directed at him. "I won't be left behind."

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.
