the devices that they have ordered in other countries have arrived, many people go to the HQ to trade the crystal core for the devices, an excited face of the survivors can see everywhere because today that they will know how to properly enhance their physical ability.
Zojie also one of them who is excited, he already readies the crystal core to trade it, after he told his parents that he will go to the trading center to trade their crystal core for the devices.
Zojie looking at the receptionist about 25 yrs of ages a beautiful young and have a pleasant smile, he walks and approaches the reception table and He asked.
"Hello, Ms. Beautiful, Where can I change the crystal core for the status device? (Zojie)
The receptionist was smiling when she heard calling her a Beautiful
''Have you seen the people who queued there? go there to trade with crystal core for a device. (Receptionist)
"Her smile can calm the person who has in a bad mood. on his thought
"Thank you, see you next time (Zojie)
On his way, there was a man who was angry with the clerk
"WHAT? 6 white crystal cores for each one device? I heard on the news, that just five white crystal cores per one device? You know, it's very difficult to gather this crystal core, it's very dangerous to get out, we need to kill the mutated beast, to get the crystal cores... sighed~ (Random Guy)
"This is what happened, because of the many flying types of a mutated beast on the surface... It is very dangerous to travel, so there is a charge for delivering the devices from abroad. (Clerk)
"Well, I have a lot of crystal core we do not have to go outside to kill a mutated to get a crystal core. Zojie thought.
Even they added one white crystal core for the devices still many people want to trade their Crystal core for the devices.
When Zojie comes next... he gave the 30 white crystal core to the clerk, the clerk was surprised to see many crystal cores

"Where did these crystal cores come from? it is impossible for him to have many crystal cores, Is he the only one who killed the mutated beast to get this crystal core? Maybe his age is 20? Clerk thought
the clerk gives five status devices and five tablet pads to Zojie.
"Now that I have it, I'll know how to properly enhance my body. (Zojie)
He returned to sector 7 and gave the status devices to his family,
When he was in the room, he placed the device on his wrist.
He read the handbook, the status device has an artificial intelligence, like a person who can talk to.
You can view your status on tablet pad, and you can ask questions in AI if you have questions about Enhancer and mutated beast etc...
He pressed the switch on.
Beep! Beep!
"Select your Country language.
He clicks Filipino
"Filipino language selected...
"Hello master, I am your supporting Ai, nice to meet you. How can I do for you, my master? (Female voice Ai)
"Master? What the! ^^/&* maybe one of the developers was Prof. Yamato, I do not want to be called a master my friend will make a fun with me...
"Just call me Zojie, and I'll name you Alice. (Zojie)
"It is a great honor to me, that you gave me a name, thanks Zojie. (Alice)
"Technology is really advanced in other countries, can talk to the person, and there's news that the researcher of WGARL is now developing a healing potion like on those fantasy game, this people was really smart. He thought
"Alice, show me what the status device can do and how it works. (Zojie)
"The status device has many functions, such as 'you can call someone else, even abroad and its free of charge, It also has an internet connection, you can search about the mutated beast and other information and it's also free. the WGARL has its own satellite in outer space, with the help of NASA, as long as there is a signal, the device also has a scanning system, so you know how many percentages and levels genes you have, and you will also see the requirements of each level. (Alice)

"Alice 'show the physical ability I have. (Zojie)
"Affirmative
"Scanning Body of the Host... data uploaded...
Ding!
"Scanning complete... genes detected! Beep! Analyzing host genes...
Ding!
"You status now recorded in your status device. (Alice)
"Show status window. He said

Maximum speed: 8 secs every 200 meters

When he saw his physical ability in his status...
"Hmm... is this my stats? then my punch and kick will break the skull and bone of the enemy 'and I also have a regeneration? He thought
"Alice, explain to me the genes level (Zojie)
"The genes exp / level, measure what level the crystal core you should consume,
"Level 0 genes: can consume white crystal core /
level 1 genes: can consume grey crystal core /
level 2 genes: can consume yellow crystal core /
level 3 genes: can consume orange crystal core
"What are the requirements to level up the enhancer? (Zojie)
"The requirements to level up the enhancer are based on tonnes of force damage base on punch
Enhancer 1
Strength: 1 tonnes of force damage base on punch
Enhancer 2
Str: 3 tonnes of force damage
Enhancer 3
Str: 4.5 tonnes of force damage
Enhancer 4
Str: 6 tonnes of force damage
The level 5 enhancer up is still not updated in the system.
"I need a lot of crystal core if I really want to be strong. He said
"What about the Regen Genes? He said
"The researcher still analyzes the Regen genes, maybe in the future, they will find out how to level-up the Regen genes. Alice said
"Ahh, there's many things that they need to research, maybe they give this first information to the people about how to enhance the human body, and the people can have the power to fight back from those mutated beasts. (Zojie)
"Zojie you need to make backup for system data, in case the device is damaged and does not work, you can still retrieve the data/file and the memory that I have, like our conversations today, you can save data time to time on the main system. (Alice)
"Then make backup data. He said
Then he goes to the Adventurer guild... to register as Adventurer.
All organizations in the world agree to make an Adventurer guild for the enhancer, to help other people who are not capable of killing the mutated beast to get supplies outside of the survival base.
They make rules for the Adventurer new law, new regulation so as not to affect the lives of ordinary people.
They make a mission for the Adventurer after they finish the mission they will be rewarded, and the payment is crystal core.
Because the crystal core is more important than money, the crystal core is the new currency in the whole world. to buy supplies, food, weapons and others. so he went to the Adventurer guild to register.
In this new world, people need to face the challenges that come to life.
Face the fact that the world has changed, they have to fight to survive.
For their family, for the importance of their loved ones.
Do everything for them, even though they know that their lives are at risk.
Come to think the bright future, you'll become strong, you have the power to kill the mutated beast not fearing them that every time you will go out in the safe zone you will be killed by the mutated beast, if you have a strong determination and power to kill the mutated beast, you will be free from fear.

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.
