It was a nice warm day, a beautiful morning in fact! The breeze felt nice and soothing and it wasn't too chilly, the perfect weather.
It wasn't perfect enough for a little turtle, however.
Master Splinter and his pupils were asleep, but one remained awake.
Michealangelo.
Mikey yawned as he roamed the halls. He walked past his brothers room, except one. Donatello's. Mikey blushed ever so slightly as he quietly turned the knob, revealing a non-masked turtle happily asleep.
The bashful turtle pulled out his t-phone and took a picture of his crush asleep.
'Now everything's perfect.' Mikey thought.
Mikey put away the t-phone, squealing inside. He quietly crept toward the purple turtle and admired him. The orange turtle leaned in and placed a kiss on his lover's forehead. Mikey did a slight giggle, and pulled the blanket up a little.
The little turtle quietly walked out and closed the door.
Then Donatello opened his eyes. He sat up in his bed and rubbed his forehead, slightly blushing. "What was Mikey doing..?" He mumbled. "Taking pictures of me 'asleep'? That's unusual... Well, scientifically speaking, Mikey is unusual in his many ways."
Then, the purple turtle threw the blanket to the side, and revealed a purple laptop, built by an amazing scientist, which Donnie labels himself as. He opened his closed laptop and continued his game of: 'Minecraft'.
**★**
'I'll make my Don Don breakfast!' Mikey squealed in his thoughts. 'Oh, and the others too I guess.'
The orange turtle soon made pancakes and gave Donnie three; With extra syrup, strawberries, whip cream and chocolate on the side, and to add the cherry on top: a big beautiful plate!
Meanwhile, the cooker himself gave himself two pancakes, a LOT of whipped cream, a medium-sized plate, a big chocolate bar and only two strawberries with the right amout of syrup, same for his brothers except they barely had any whipped cream and

Mikey skipped altheway to Raph's room, when he arrived there, he violently shook Raph awake.
"Wahh!" Raph yelped, falling off the bed. "Haha! Get up, dude! Hehe-, I made pancakes!" Mikey laughed, running away. Raph growled and ran after him.
"Leo!~ Wake up!~" Mikey said in a sing-song way, directly into Leonardo's ear. "Eek!" Leo squealed. "Oh. It's just you Mikey." Leo said plainly, but was wrong. There was a hot-tempered turtle right behind Mikey.
"Yaah!" Raph yelled, jumping on Mikey, causing him to lose his balance and fall back, making Raph hit the floor instead of Mikey. "Today is not your day." The little turtle giggled and went to check up on Donnie.
As the prankster turtle left, Raph looked up only to see the leader holding in his laughter. Then, as he did with Mikey, he jumped on him. "Ah! No, Raph!" Leo screeched.
**★**
Mikey stood in front of Donnie's door, breathing heavily. He felt a cold breeze as he turned the doorknob, sending goosebumps up his legs.
The orange turtle quietly opened the door and peeked in. He then saw his secret crush on his laptop, playing video games, while sitting up. Who plays video games WHILE SITTING UP?!!! Sorry, that just drives me insane... Back to the story:
"D-Donnie..?" Mikey asked, slightly blushing. The purple turtle immediately looked up, closed his laptop and put on his mask. "Hey, Mikey, 'sup?" Donnie asked with a friendly smile. "H-hey" Mikey giggled, "Breakfast's ready."
"Sweet!" The scientist smiled, getting out of bed. "I'm gonna go brush my teeth." The orange turtle didn't move from his lover's doorway and just watched him as he left to use the bathroom.
A few minutes later, everyone was downstairs eating, except for Master Splinter, who made his own meal and was meditating in the other room. Donnie was also not downstairs,

"Uh, hey Mikey?" Leo asked, poking his pancake. "Hmm?" Mikey questioned, mouth full of pancakes. "How come Donnie has more stuff than us combined?" Leo asked, trying to be nice about it. "Yeah! That's fucking unfair!" Raph butt in.
"Raph!" Leo scolded, giving him a glare.
The hot tempered turtle put his hands up and went back to silent eating. Mikey gulped down a chunk of pancakes and said "Well, D-Donnie needs it so he can- make... Stuff?" Leo acted as if he understood and nodded.
"Hey guys." Donnie said, welcoming himself to the table.
"H-hey Donnie." The orange turtle said with a dorky giggle. "This is your plate." He pointed at the plate right next to the chefs, the big and tasty-looking one. "Oh, well, thanks, Mikey! But I prefer something more nutritious to help me focus." Donnie said, politely declining.
Mikey soon gave him his unresistable adorable puppy eyes, and he was literally about to shed a tear.
"D'oh! Fine..." Donnie sighed and sat down by Mikey, causing him to happily eat his pancakes once again. "Isn't this a little too much, Mikey?"
"Oh, I'll take it-" Raph said, but got a shot from Leo once again, keeping Raph silent.
"Whaddya mean?" Mikey asked, chewing loudly. "Well, this isn't very nutritious-" Mikey, once again, pulled out his puppy dogs eyes. The purple turtle sighed and ate what was given to him.
"Hey... This is really good!" Donnie admitted, scarfing down his food. Mikey intensly blushed as Donnie continued to eat. Raph finished his food, so did Leo, and they both left with a "Cya."
"It's not that good." Mikey said, teasing himself.
"Are you joking?" Donnie questioned. "Here! Have some!" The purple scientist jabbed his pancake that had strawberry, syrup, whipped cream, and chocolate on it and was about to feed it to his crush without knowing it.
Mikey blushed and opened his mouth. Donnie put it the food and Mikey bit down the fork. "Good right?" Donnie asked, about to pull the fork away.
It was no use.
Mikey bit down on the fork, drooling all over. Donnie blushed at the sight of this. "I'll go get another fork..." The scientist said, trying to hide his blush.

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.
