Chasing After My Wife Chapter 545
Advertisement
The next morning which was also their third day, Jillyanna woke up around eleven in the morning. Since she was getting used to his size and his movements, she didn't have a sore waist this time. Aside from that, she remembered Travis giving her a massage last night while she was drifting off to sleep.
"Morning." Travis greeted her with a kiss on top of her head. He was reading some messages on his phone regarding the companies that he was handling. There were messages from Shein and Savannah regarding some financial report and there was a message from his father as well, encouraging him to bring good news of Jillyanna being pregnant again. He didn't reply to it since he knew his father was just joking. They already talked about it and his father knew that Travis didn't want Jillyanna to get pregnant again.
"Morning." Jillyanna greeted as she hugged his waist and cuddled with him.
"Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"
"Nope. I'm fine."
"That's great! I was worried that I won't be able to do anything tonight."
Jillyanna's eyes went wide and she softly scoffed. "I think, my waist is still a little soar. Let's not do anything tonight, okay?"
"I have asked for a massage service for this afternoon."
Jillyanna made a 'tch-ed' sound and pinched his thighs. "Fine. Fine. I'm alright. No need for a massage. I want to spend my afternoon on a food trip."
"Sure." Travis agreed and put down his phone on the bedside drawer.
"Won't you call the hotel service to cancel the massage?"
"Hn? There's no need. I didn't call for one."
"You tricked me!" Jillyanna lightly punched his chest. She was pouting her lips while throwing sharp glares at him. "You perverted trickster!" Travis couldn't hold back his laughter anymore and he let it out. His laughter echoed in their room as he hugged his wife.

"Sorry. I just knew that you'd be making excuses so, I decided to tease you a little bit."
Jillyanna rolled her eyes at him as she propped herself up to sit by his side. "I'll take a shower first."
"Do you want me to shower with –"
"No. I'm a bit worried if we shower together now. We might not come out."
"I won't do anything, I promise. I will wait until tonight."
"Didn't you shower, yet?"
"Nope. I was waiting for you to wake up."
He carried his wife to the bathroom and the two of them showered together. True to his words, Travis didn't do anything.
Since they will just be going to have a food trip in some local restaurants, Jillyanna didn't need to wear anything fancy or anything great. She just picked some long sleeves from his clothes and wore it. Travis folded the sleeves up to her elbows and left the two upper buttons open to give her a sexy vibe.
She still got one shorts left in her clothes so, she chose it to pair with the shirt she got. She also wore the wedged slipped sandals that she bought the day before when they went to the mall. She still looked great even when simple clothing style.
Travis also chose a T-shirt of the same color as hers. They appeared casual but the cost of their clothes was more than a thousand of dollars each.
After making sure that they were all good, Jillyanna picked up her bag and phone to go. Inside her bag, there was only a handkerchief, a press powder, a wallet and phone. Inside her wallet was Travis' card and hers plus, several bills. Most of the time, they used his card to pay for their purchases.

This time, they used their cash to pay for things since Jillyanna decided to try the food display in the local market. She only chose those that looked edible and clean to her. Travis was very conscious of her health so, he always monitors the food that she was eating, asking the vendor what meat it was and what part it was.
"C'mon. Stop asking what this is or that is. Let's just enjoy. This is only once in a lifetime chance. Let's take this opportunity to explore." Jillyanna grabbed his hand and they walked along the street where many food stalls were located.
Travis could only take a deep sigh and follow her. There wasn't really that big of a difference when it comes to Indonesian street food and their city B's street food. They may have different names and a little different in taste but they all taste great. Jillyanna was enjoying her time, hopping from one stall to another, until she felt so full she didn't want to move.
"Let's take a rest on that bench." She stated while pointing on an empty bench not far from them. Travis walked beside her in a slow speed to keep up with her. "I had fun eating their food here. I am so full now." She commented while rubbing her stomach. Travis also reached his hand and rubbed it for her. Some people said that rubbing your stomach can help with the digestion. That was probably why they were doing it.
She leaned her head on his shoulder while watching the people from all ages, from different countries and from different races, passed by them. "I am so happy that we finally have this trip."
"Me, too. I'm that we're here. Cielo told me that you wanted to go here since you were in high school. I'm glad that I am the one who accompanies you in this trip."
"Darling."
"Hn?"
"I want to go home now. I want to see the kids. I want to see our house. I want to see our plants. I want to see our fishes. I just want to be home."
"Then, shall we book a flight back?"
"Huh?" Jillyanna straightened up and looked at him. "No. There's no need. I was just saying it because I miss them. Let's just finish this trip and go home after."
"Okay. Whatever you say, I'll follow your lead. At the end of the day, my home is wherever you are."
"You forgot the children again."

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.

Core Chronicles
Core Chronicles is a series of interrelated stories, including in-depth major story arcs and shorter side stories about Cores and those affected by them through direct and indirect means. The first arc is planned to be Dungeon Core with City Building elements in an Urban Fantasy setting. It will mainly follow one main character's point of view, but on occasion, the POV may shift to side characters to give more information about what is happening in the wider world. The stories will also examine how the world changes with the introduction of magic and its various purposes. The System will be between soft and crunchy, with discrete levels and stats for characteristics and skills. But, for example, the health statistic will be a less clear indicator rather than a distinct stat.
