《Is this really luck?》Chapter 8 charmed and denial
Advertisement
Rin held the baby Rachel as he stared at her eyes staring at him. They were glowing brightly like a curious bird going out to the world for the first time. Except this baby bird was curious about him instead of the outside. He sat down around noon near the road, staring at the grass plains.
"You know little Rachel, you'd never get to see this from your world back on Earth." (Rin)
To those words she froze, this person knows her secret. Her eyes seemed to panic as he said those words. (Rin is used to refer to a girl's name and Ren for a boy. Yet she still uses it and our mc is dense towards this.) Oh no if he knows I reincarnated then wouldn't that mean my own mother sold me off. To this person no less.
"No worries little Rachel I can read your mind. But I knew about you beforehand." (Rin)
"Dying poses no problem for me yet it's hard to do so." (March)
Rin stared at the young girl that looked around 14 years old with dark purple hair. A light blue dress that seemed to expose a bit of her stomach and her chest. (Which was mostly nonexistent in mc's opinion.)
'Valkyrie' that's the one word that popped up in both their mind seeing her gleaming wings glowing behind her. Her thoughts on suicidal kinda made even Rin want to choke. March was an abnormal among Valkyries even for Seven. She chose this Valkyrie because of her talents but this Valkyrie was the most unstable amongst her Valkyries. Suicidal and had split personalities (which aren't) as well as unpredictable. (Her younger sister is only suicidal due to being immortal and her sisters dying on battle this Valkyrie is always gloomy and looking for her own death she creeps out most gods.)
"Who are you." (Rin)
"Oh sorry I didn't notice you. I'm just a traveling merchant passing by." (March)
Both the baby Rachel and Rin were thinking lies. This mentally unstable person is a Valkyrie that doesn't even know how to hide her wings and she's trying to kill herself on open roads.

Rachel didn't want to deal with the Valkyrie so she pretended to go to sleep since she was a baby. Without saying anything Rin took this as a chance and began running without saying anything to the Valkyrie. March stood there stunned as the man ran away from her without even asking her anything. She was used to it by now but it was a first for her, the other party running away without saying a word.
After looking at the map after going for a far distance he sigh before sitting down tired while holding baby Rachel who was laughing.
"I better look for something for you to eat. Then again there's only grass plains here and monsters. Should I look for a liger for you to drink from." (Rin)
Little one year old Rachel tilted her baby head at him.
"You can talk now you idiot girl don't try to lie either I can hear you all the way from the roof." (Rin)
"Wait so you purposely made sure no one was around." (Rachel)
"Your 1 year old and can kinda waddle when you walk yet you could practically talk already but you hid these two facts. Oh do know your mother was watching you secretly and amused at your silliness." (Rin)
Her small face froze this person even knows more than her who thought everyone was sleeping around that time. It was late at night too. What surprised her was his amusing smiling face to her. Her brain fried for a while not responding Rin waved his hand in front of the one year old he put on his lap.
"Wait how'd you know I can talk. And how the heck do you know about me from the roof." (Rachel)
"Telepathy. Too bad this naughty girl can't read yet though she could wander around the house." (Rin)
Tears were in her eyes as she gave him a look of disbelief. The handsome man in front of her had peeked in on her. She felt embarrassed when she thought about it, she covered her small face with her hands.

Oh no what if he saw or heard me try to baby talk to my mom. Wait does that mean he saw me trip and hit myself on the bookshelf. Rin gave her a blank look but was actually laughing in her own head while thinking sister your more of a klutz than I make you to be.
"Hm, I've no clue how that is. By the way what's your mental age anyway." (Rin)
"16 years old if you count the year I've been here too." (Rachel)
"By the way I'm mentally 11 years old. The crazy god put me into a male's body. Can you take a guess what I am and my original gender." (Rin)
Her eyes widen at Rin's words but now that she thought about it her name was Rin meaning it was a girl. And the way she said it seems she herself got played by that God too. Rather she didn't even want to know how he did it by putting a child into a 15 year old body.
"By the way he used your diary from your stories that you wrote in detail about race and historical events that you remembered from them. But you don't seem to remember where from." (Rin)
"Don't even." (Rachel)
"Your beautiful eyes like the heavens
the destruction of the cities encases in darkness.
Blood rains down on the ruin cities.
A black figure laughs crazily in the rain,
yet she cries in the rainy blood.
Corpses around her lifeless." (Rin)
Rachel blinked back in disgust that he knows those words, she wrote a excerpt from her dreams but she didn't remember the details exactly she just remembered someone sang the song describing the devil demon princess who didn't want to kill but couldn't resist her urges to eat and kill.
"You two dare use dirty tricks by going through my diary." (Rachel)
"There was one that interested me in your diary. But I'll tell you this. I'm Sei's little half sister." (Rin)
Those words felt like a stab to Rachel, it seems like she herself was in the wrong. This person probably inherited her diary of historical race and the details of her forgotten dreams. She wanted to slam her head on a table if there was once. (Trans: die of embarrassment)
"Let's see it was very detailed in your diary as if you were that person. Niana's 8th younger sister." (Rin) (it goes by date and years)
"No! You did not just go into that one." (Rachel)
"Sorry to say I did. But if anything there was very interesting things. Your family of pure angels yet little Clare found out through her journey that she was only the half sister to her proud noble royal family of sisters. She was a half dragon. A sky dragon." (Rin)
Rachel's face turned red and she blew up with steam coming out of her head.
'Did I go to far? Her reaction was interesting.' (Rin)
Yet through out the whole thing he didn't even change expression and was very serious. His words still ringed in Rachel's ears.
"Guess that was too much for a baby." (Rin)
A cold smile smiled back at her, making a shiver go through her head. He frowned when he saw her freeze up. He had just tried his carefree smile yet she froze up. (Remember the idiot male lead isolated himself from people and watched her from a far distance where he could come straight to protect her.)
"Was my smile that bad." (Rin)
This stupid devilish man with charms that can even charm man yet his cold smile made me freeze up. How the hell am I supposed to live with him like this. Is he trying to kill my heart first, God what the fuck do you mean maxed out luck are you sure your not trying to kill me early from a charming boy.

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.
