Chapter 19: Being Fed Dog Food
Yao Shao and Tang Weiminm turn to Long Shen, who was frowning now.
Long Shen shakes his head, “Yao Shao, you need to stop this at once. As Tang Weimin said, the customer doesn’t need to hear about the drama about another school. Besides, you’re ruining the reputation of First High by acting like this.”
First High was the number one school around this district. Hearing the gossip about what’s going on about their high school, it would definitely cause rumors to float around to the other school.
Hearing what his boss said, Yao Shao looks displeased and tries to retort, ““But boss Long I-”
“No buts, if you still see me as your brother and boss, then you should stop cussing out student Lu Chen.” Long Shen didn’t say anymore as he turns towards the customers and apologizes, “Fellow customers, I’m sorry for my friends to inconvenience you during your meal. As an apology, I will pay for your meal.”
Formerly the customers were staring at their group in envy of their looks. They were also annoyed by how shameless and rude Yao Shao was. But who can say no to free food? The student’s cheers in delight. All the anger had dissipated like it wasn’t even there.
Seeing the crowd was in a good mood again, Long Shen smiles. But Liu Fei Fei looks at him with a sighing face, “Did you really have to do that?”She knew with Long Shen’s background, this stunt would make him go into the red. So she couldn’t help but shake her head at her boyfriend.
Long Shen scratches his head, “Well, I kinda did it on impulse. And I felt bad that we were disturbing their meal.”
“Honey, you are too kindhearted. you don’t even realize you’ll be broke for a while, you dummy.” But then she kisses him on the cheeks as she said, blushing like a red tomato, “But that’s what I like about you.”

Long Shen begins to blush as well. He pinches her cheeks gently, “Honey, if you keep doing that, my heart might not be able to handle it.”
Once he said that it rang alarms inside Liu Fei Fei’s brain, “You can’t die. You need to be with me even after death.” She already cemented the fact that Long Shen was hers even after they die.
Seeing how serious her face, Long Shen couldn’t help but kiss her face, “Alright, you little devil. I won’t talk about it again."
“Hehe, I’m your little devil.” Liu Fei Fei smiles mischievously. The two were beginning to go into their own pink space, but Luo Ai stops this before it got to the point of no return.
“Hey, can you baka-couple not. Everybody is watching us again.” Luo Ai coughs lightly in embarrassment at how direct her friend was. She said teasingly, “ If you two are gonna do this, then go somewhere private instead.”
The couple notices that everybody was looking at them with envy and tears of blood. The two start to become embarrassed by it.
To add oil to the fire, Yao Shao said, “Hey boss Long, when are you two going to have your wedding.”
“‘Shut up!”” The couple was too embarrassed to say anything else.
Yao Shao didn’t care about the couple’s embarrassment as he continues, “ Boss Long, what are you going to call your kids after the lady boss gets pregnant.”
Tang Weimin spits out the drink he was sipping on. Dude! Are you looking to die!
Before Yao Shao could react, Liu Fei Fei was already cracking her knuckles as she smiles at him, “Fatty, it seems that you’re looking to die today. Let me help you with that.”
Liu Fei Fei continues to smile at Yao Shao, who was now shivering in fear. Me and my big mouth!
Luo Ai and Tang Weimin laugh at Yao Shao, who’s getting chewed out by Liu Fei Fei.
Just like that, the group was friendly with each other. The argument between Yao Shao and Tang Weimin was just forgotten.

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.
