《The New Era Project》Chapter 41: It’s only the beginning!
Advertisement
Suzi, Watabi, and Honoka continue to suppress the enemy in the black t-shirt. The enemy continues to ruthlessly throw multiple energy balls scattering them at the surroundings as well.
“Argh, this guy! Immediately try to prevent him damaging the surroundings too much. I’ll leave that to you Honoka. Watabi, you and I will need to drag it out with close combat until support arrives.”Suzi shouts.
“Yes!” Watabi and Honka nods.
Suzi immediately starts to wave her fan-shaped weapon creating a series of air currents. Each air current rotates quickly like a spinning blade. The air currents accumulate as they stack on each other forming a sharp rotating cyclone. The difference between this and a normal cyclone is that if one touches it, they will be immediately blown by an onslaught of cuts caused by the combination of wind and daggers mixed within. Suzi immediately forms several of these and continue to increase it’s rotating speed. She cannot immediately use them as she awaits for the perfect opportunity.
Watabi immediately reinforces himself and prepares to engage the enemy headon to try to allow for an opening for Suzi. What is different this time, is a hazy, semi-transparent weapon begins to form on his back as part of his armor. Reaching behind him, he wields the transparent blade similar to a fully armed samurai. He charges in towards the enemy and immediately. As soon as he nears the enemy he completes a yoko giri which is a side cut in which the sword grip is held in both hands to the right side of the body.The right elbow and left elbow are slightly bent. The blade immediately turns sideways as the sword arcs from the side with a powerful outward swing in a horizontal slashing movement.
This immediately makes contact with the black t-shirt man’s abdomen. “ARGH!” The enemy shouts. Watabi follows up with an overhead cut in which he cuts directly in front of him in an arcing slashing motion.

The two hit combo that Watabi was able to complete had delayed sufficient time for Suzi to send her several cyclones of sharp rotating mixture of wind and blades directly at the enemy. Honoka immediately utilizes all her mental concentration to restrict the enemy’s movement while throwing debris to block the enemy’s line of sight.
As the enemy’s line of sight had been blocked by the debris, he hadn’t noticed Suzi’s approaching attack. Immediately he covers his fists with the dark energy and pounds towards Watabi’s face.
Noticing the change of attack, Watabi immediately withdraws. Assuming that Watabi was showing weakness, the enemy pursues only to be met by the onslaught of Suzi’s cyclone attack.
The enemy’s pupils widen as he curses. Unwillingly and desperately, he pounds his fists covered with dark energy towards the cyclones. With a booming sound, three of the seven cyclones disintegrate. The remaining four however immediately make contact with the trunk of the enemy resulting in a series of lacerations.
“ARGH!!!” The enemy roars.
“Watabi Go!” Suzi yells. Watabi immediately completes another overhead cut successfully cutting of one of the enemy’s arms.
Suzi immediately also approaches the enemy and uses her fan-shaped weapon to produce empowered wind cuts directly on the enemy’s legs to successfully disable him further. Noticing Suzi’s action, the enemy while resisting the four cyclones which are continuously chipping away at his flesh, pounds the ground to try to disrupt Suzi’s approach.
Unfortunately for him, Honoka immediately uses the debris from underneath him to pound upwards, thus, further aggravating his injury. This causes the enemy to be slightly disoriented.
Suzi, seizing this opportunity, successfully is able to leave two deep wounds on the enemy's thighs. After doing so, Watabi and Suzi immediately fall back.
The debris clears as the enemy falls to his knees. “It’s only the beginning!” He yells, however, he immediately collapses.
At this time, the student enforcer team is around 85% percent of the way there..still some time until they can arrive as they rush.

Embrace the Blade
Born crippled, it was no surprise when James Ransom died young, but he was offered an opportunity - a mission: to go to a new world and become strong enough to kill the hidden boss behind the final boss. Now in a new world he must research and study the system to take advantage of it, find his strengths; form alliances and find party members to become strong enough to face the end. This story does use Multiple perspectives and tells stories that add to the MC's. I've been given this feedback enough that I feel the need to mention that growth (levels, skills, classes, etc.) is slow, intentionally so, but constant. Credit for the cover goes to a commission for KemptBones from DeviantArt for the cover. This book is a rewrite of the original Embrace the Blade. The timeline for this one is completely separate and you do not need to read the original to understand what is going on. If you want to check out the original you can find it here (just a warning that they are NOT good): ETB Drafts 1&2 If you came here from the original EtB, WELCOME!!

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
