《Test subject Shiroi》Chapter 6
Advertisement
The children had gone on many more missions after their first one, some being worse than others, but each time they seemed to be affected less and less by the ordeal.
But I am confidant that i can break them
And recently I had gained some intersecting information that I could definitely use against them.
The kids where eating dinner with Ann (the nice lady) again and they where talking about their plan.
Their plan that they had been talking about for 6 months... which was to escape. Ann had discovered a hole in the massive wall that surrounded the outside parts of the facility. The wall was small but that wasn't a problem because izuku could blast a hole through it since it's obviously a weak point.
Their plan was: while training when Ann walks past the into the dojo that would be the single to take immobilise the surrounding guards an scientists, then before anyone noticed they would rush to the part of the wall that had a hole in it so they could blast it open and escape.
The plan was simple but it should be effective.
They had planned it for the day when there was going to be a meeting with most of the staff so that less people where closer to the incident when it happens.
They all thought that the plan had a high success rate and where excited and happy that they had a chance to finally be free.
"Ok so do you kids know exactly what the plan is?" I whispered.
"Yes miss Ann." They said in an obviously board tone.
"Hey! Focus do you want to get out?" I whispered slightly irritated
They sat up slightly after I said that
"That's what I thought." I whispered smugly

"Anyway I need to go now so make sure that your ready tomorrow." I said before walking off going to my office where I was going to do some of more of the horrific work that they sent me.
While I was walking through the halls a voice spoke up from behind me "Ma'am the doctor is requesting your presence." I froze and turned slowly to see an armed guard who looked like he would shoot without hesitation (which he would) My shoulders sagged and I started walking in the direction of his office.
I arrived at the doctors office and entered.
"Ahh Ann nice of you to join us!" He said.
I noticed that it was just us in the room.
"Well Ann I just want to get straight to the point!
What are you and the children planning?......
"Wow I didn't know you could sing Izu!" Raimu exclaimed happily
I blushed shyly as i stuttered "W-well i had a friend who was really good at music so she taught me how to sing."
"Sing another one!" Yuri requested happily
I blushed and said "W-well alright. I think that this one is appropriate for tomorrow."
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
After the song had finished Yuki said "Wow you weren't lying about it being appropriate.
We laughed and I took requests for another 15 minutes before a guard entered the room and said "Free time is up brats so get out."
Yuri stuck her young out at him when he turned his back "Spoilsport." She muttered before saying "Anyway we should go and relax for tomorrow." We all nodded in agreement and went off to our rooms feeling happy

How naive we where.
The next morning we woke up to banging on our door.
I looked at Yuki in dismay "Surely he didn't choose a mission today?!"
"No I don't think so." Yuki said "But knowing him it could be anything."
We put on our uniforms before meeting up with the others and heading over to his office.
When we entered he said "Children so good for you to finally be here! I hope that you could enlighten me on the situation." He said menacingly before stepping aside and letting us see a horrible sight.
It was Miss Ann tied up in a chair beat up and bloodied, with her fingernails pulled out and a few toes chopped off.
"YOU BASTARD WHY?!?!" Yuki shouted angrily with his fist clenched.
"Ahh well one of my LOYAL staff overheard a conversation about some sort of plan between the five of you! So would you mind telling me what that plan is?"
We all stayed silent in defiance.
"No? Anyone?" He questioned before saying "Well if that's how it is then if none of you tell me now I'll kill her." He threatened pulling a gun out and pressing it to her head "YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS! AND DONT EVEN TRY TO USE YOUR QUIRKS BECAUSE I HAVE THE GUARDS WITH THEIR GUNS POINTED STRAIGHT AT YOU!"
"FIVE!"
We all looked down at our feet
"FOUR!"
I was trying to think of a way out of this
"THREE?!"
Damnit there's not enough time!
"TWO!"
Shit! If I don't do something Miss Ann will die!
"ONE?!"
"WAIT!"
I looked around to see Raimu crying after shouting at him
He smiled evilly "Well? Would you be so kind to tell me what your plan is?"
"W-we where planning to escape through a hole in the wall." She muttered while looking down and crying.
"Ooooh there's a hole in the wall?! The security team must be slacking! Well thank you for telling me." He said smiling
He then turned to Miss Ann and said "I have no use for traitors!" He snarled before......
There was a big hole in Miss Ann's stomach.
We rushed forward to Miss Ann trying to see if we could save her already knowing that it was too late.
"B-but YOU SAID THAT YOU'D LET HER LIVE!" Raimu screamed at him
He just walked away before turning back and saying coldly "I said no such thing."

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.
