《The Strongest Armor》Chapter 4: The Strongest Armor!
Advertisement
Some time later, Li Zimu started to notice this little irritation growing That subtle irritation when he knows he’s forgetting something, yet he has no idea what.
After racking his brains, he decided to put things aside and continue to cultivate. Until…
[Ding! Your cultivation leveled up, current cultivation: Qi Gathering lv 1]
‘Ah!’
A cartoon huge light bulb would have popped up above his head if this was a comic. This, however, is a novel, therefore, only a description of a huge, glowing light bulb would be included.
Having a sudden epiphany, he remembered there were three functions on the system’s menu.
Curiosity overtook him as he quickly opened the host status page.
[Li Zimu
Cultivation level Qi Gathering lv 1 {1/10}
Professions: none
Experience: 0
Beast Souls: 0
Credits: 0
]
Faced by the pathetic status, his only comfort was that he was still a baby.
Weeping dramatically, he turned his hopes onto the other menu, Skills.
Opening it, he saw a simple list.
[Cultivation: {Basic Cultivation Method lv 1 | 2/10}
Attack: none
Defense: none
Movement: none
Support: none
Special: none
Innate: {Plot Armor}
]
Gawking, he stared at the unbelievable words in the final category. Thinking back, he had made a wish when coming to this world… the strongest armor…
That God actually made a pun!
Wait, that’s beside the point. His webnovel wisdom told him he should confirm the effects of this innate skill.
Glaring at the line of words, a prompt appeared.
[Plot Armor:
An innate ability bestowed upon the main characters of the world. Blessed by the heavens, your fate is heavily influenced by the authors spirit of ‘THE BOOK MUST GO ON’.
Effects: Evasion rate + 1000% Growth speed + 1000% Critical hit chance -1000% Chance of death -10 000% Random miracles chance + 200% Fortuitous encounters chance + 1000%

Heavily influenced by the essence of ‘THE BOOK MUST GO ON’]
…..
Fuck, brother, aren’t these stats too OP?
I didn’t want to die but I didn’t want to become the main character.
Li Zimu’s intuition and webnovel wisdom was hinting strongly that this strange essence of author’s will wasn’t a good thing.
Thinking back to all the novels he read and the novels he helped his father write, he couldn’t help but shiver.
Sure those main characters never died but didn’t he always experience random misfortunes to evoke emotion in the readers? Didn’t the people around him always get in trouble randomly?
Would he have to rescue his loved ones frequently in the future too? Would he have to go through excruciating pain and blood boiling adventures to get stronger too?
No, he did not want that.
Li Zimu just wanted to live a happy, peaceful life and eat many good foods.
Sighing in his heart, he prepared himself and focused on his cultivation again. He still had time to grow before anything happened. After all, most books would just skip the first few years.
He would have to find out how to get credits too to buy some of those treasures and martial skills…
So much to do, so little time.
That said, for now, he was extremely free all day and simply cultivated with the qi flowing to him from his mother.
…
The young woman’s face seemed paler than before. Lying on bed, she felt a little weak.
Her cultivation was strong, yet women were nevertheless weak during childbirth. Their qi would be condensed and purified to nurture their children.
The stronger the parents, the stronger the child, hence social status was practically set in stone. The weak will never be weak, and the strong will always be strong. Only rare anomalies would manage to leap over the wall, or under it.

Feeling her cultivation slip away day by day, those around the young woman were extremely worried. Yet the woman herself was joyful.
Her simple optimistic mind believed the more cultivation went to the child, the stronger the healthier the child would be.
The father was also a simple yet optimistic man. Excitedly, he brought all sorts of elixirs and nutritious meals for his wife, replenishing the qi in her body and nurturing the baby.
Cultivation can be regained, yet a baby’s talent and health couldn’t be changed so easily.
The idiot couple continued to idiotically flirt and await the birth of their baby.

Skinwalker / War Chief
A System Apocalypse Fan Fiction I started reading Litrpg about two years ago. I fell in love with Tao Wong's System Apocalypse series. He is an excellent writer and I loved his world building, but when the second series arc went elsewhere It kind of lost me a little. I wanted to create a little parallel world that was very familiar to his fans but skewed off in a different, darker direction. If you haven't read Tao's work, you're missing out! Look him up on Amazon and read The System Apocalypse. One of the best in the genre.

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
