Just as there is 'Soft Magic' in Fantasy that is portrayed through magibabble, there can be 'Soft Science' in a Sci-Fi stories through technobabble that makes 'some sense', but not entirely correct.

We are frickin' writers, not scientists. You don't have to be anatomically correct all the time, all you need to do is show that you know enough of your stuff to write a decent story. In fact, the excuse of it being an alternate world can be used if you're going to bend the limits of physics and say that fire doesn't need air to exist in this parallel dimension.

I see a lot of writers being put into a state of confusion due to not understanding the line between fantasy and Sci-Fi. They seem like they are trying to fit the Star Trek mould too often.

Science can just as well do the same things as plot devices in fantasy stories. Once you add 'realism' to a fantasy, it becomes progressively better sometimes compared to a completely fantasied story where 'logic' doesn't hold within it.

Those who write Sci-Fi usually envision a future they can imagine where magic-like Rocket Boots and other stuff exist. However, a writer must not get bogged down by small details and MUST think of an overarching story where these details matter.

It is the same with Fantasy. Even if you write about someone breaking the mould as a wizard or something, you have to attach your world to a narrative rather than doing it the other way 'round.

No one wants to hear about how awesome your boat propellers are before hearing your story's narrative. They would rather you cut down and make it relevant when it is actually relevant.

Adding some 'Hard Science' to your story is only when the scenes later on have any use for them. It bores a person to death no matter how extensive your technobabble is unless you make it interesting. Try using facts as plot elements.

For example: Even the simple fact that people cannot breath in space and instantly die when they come in contact with the 'void' of space could be used to add a layer of tension when a spaceship is damaged. Similar to how dangerous 'hard magic' is used in Epic Fantasy like Frodo's Ring in The Lord of the Rings has definitive corruption on others.

Unlike Fantasy that can use the Power of Friendship to bend logic, the readers of Sci-Fi never be expecting any 'realistic' plot elements to be bend just because the Author wants a happy ending. There are no 'Healing Potions' in real life that can be used to fix up injuries nor are people affected by prophesies or whatever.

This is the contrast between Sci-Fi and Fantasy that you can make full use of. As most authors go onto the Sci-Fi side of writing not because they strive to be scientists but since the aesthetics of a science fiction world are just so interesting.

Science Fiction is a good place to tackle heavy topics like the nature of life and the absurdity of those who see 'science' as everything. Those who disregard emotions and become cybernetic entities for the sake of casting off their mortality are portrayed as the bad guys while our totally human protagonist fighting them is a 'good guy'.

The lines between an Artificial Intelligence and regular Humans blurs as we become the 'God' of technological species that defy our definition of what is 'living'. Just as we see God as some sort of fourth-dimensional and incomprehensible being that created us as an imperfect image of 'Him', the robots given sentience would see us similarly.

Some robots might have emotions that can allow them to defy their programming, some robots won't go as far as gaining emotional functionality but will preform their roles better than even a human. It could show the reason why people get attached to the inanimate and soulless objects we put our own hearts into creating (like Big Hero 6).

But though exploring philosophical questions is good and all, never forget that a good 'plot' is needed to put forward and give clues into the writer's answer that context. Sci-Fi is, after all, a premise, not a relatable character in of itself.

Think of the science-fiction elements as just the background for your story, similar to how other genres should be that as well. You won't have to deal writing blocks if you keep to writing only what you know rather than just speculative theories.

Whether it's as dark as a Cyber Punk or optimistic of the future, just know what mould you are using for this premise. Are you writing an Adventure story with Sci-Fi as the places, destinations, and whatever tools the MC can get him hands on, or are you writing a comedy where the Sci-Fi elements don't need consistency but absurdity?

After moving past why you shouldn't add unneeded technobabble unless it's interesting to listen to or has plot significance, let me remind you all that robots and 'science' isn't entirely separated from the realm of magic. After all, there is a reason you don't see skimpy power suits being worn by astronauts these days. Just be sure to have a focus if your going to add very illogical things to the plot.

I like Gundam as much as the next guy but the whole reason the Mecha sub-genre of Anime has waned in recent years is because writers have been focusing too much on 'science' rather than the spectacle. I don't need to now what materials your Mecha is made of unless you point its weak points and make it relevant in a fight scene.

Bring up the strengths and weaknesses of something and THEN use those facts as devices that can move the plot. Conversely, if you go overboard with this advice and tell me nothing but how your giant robot looks and the 'science' behind its creation, even going as far as to tell me how many secret guns it has, then I'll be bored...

I'd love to see Cyborgs Vs Mecha but just don't forget the human element of Sci-Fi. How we create things not solely for the sake of creation but put are feelings into it just like the novels we write.

Humans are passionate that way...

Thanks for reading and I wish you guys well~ Be sure to ask if you have any blog or story requests.

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

Hello, this is my first time writing a techno-fantasy but I hope you'll enjoy it. There's a few things to take note of, however.

1. There is action, both melee and ranged, both magic-like and techno-like. In fact, the lines will blur.

2. This world I built is, duh, a mix of 'magic' and science. It's not exactly just magic and science coexisting, no—they are one and the same in this world. Mana rules and bending its limits is what brought about their technology. Magecraft in this world is the building of tech, and Mages are pretty much glorified scientists — it doesn't mean they can't fight, however.

3. This story still has fantasy elements. There are different races and there are dungeons. There are more 'magic-like' weapons than usual Magecraft, like Gears, and there is such things as Spirits. Mana Beasts exist and so too do Robots and Homunculi.

4. This story takes place in a noticeably advanced world, more advanced than our own in pure technological standards but still modern enough in some parts.

5. Character Page for the First and Second arc: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/32769/r-a-t-h/chapter/502719/character-page-arc-1-2

6. Character Page for the 3rd arc: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/32769/r-a-t-h/chapter/516612/character-page-arc-3

With that said, enjoy.

Rose, a broken doll tossed out into the world with the carelessness befitting her status below humans. However, acquiring a power beyond what she should be able, she fights and Rose Against The Heavens.

The story of a homunculus fighting against fate with a piercing wrath. Raging, an adversary to a cruel world. And taking place in a techno-fantasy.

Anne Savey Open-air Restaurant, Stratford, UK!

Milan: This is the first Sunday of the year, But it is not, Every Sunday, I will invite you to eat in this restaurant. You know, this restaurant is very famous here, so I can't invite my good friends to eat here often, because it will make me poor. In fact, I am really poor now. You know, as a writer, life is always hard before I become famous.

Meida: So I know, If you want to invite me to dinner here, I must come, because such an opportunity is very rare, it is precisely because you have not yet become a famous writer, so every meal you invite me to eat is very precious, so I must cherish it, because when you invite me to eat, every sum of money we spend will be remembered by you.

Milan: Aren't you afraid to eat with me? You know, I will firmly remember that even when I was not so rich, I invited you to eat a lot of big meals.

Meida: Because I trust my friends, He will certainly become a famous writer. Because I have seen your efforts, you have written many fairy tale science fiction novels. Although no publishing house has come to you and no animation film company wants to buy the film and television copyright of these fairy tale science fiction novels, I like your fairy tale science fiction novels very much, that's enough!

Milan: Thank you for encouraging me!

Meida: But I don't like people who encourage others very much. I'm just a person who likes to tell the truth!

Milan: You make me happy!

Meida: As for the fairy tale science fiction books you wrote, I have read them all. Now, do you have any new plans?

Milan picked up a small piece of steak on his plate with a fork and handed it to Meida's mouth. Meida did not hesitate to bite the small piece of steak.

Milan: I had a strange dream, And I decided to write the story I dreamed of into a novel. In the dream, I dreamed of a man named Arthur. Yes, he was King Arthur. Of course, in the story I dreamed of, besides him, there were many people, such as a girl named Judy. The story took place in the Middle Ages, which was an era of constant war and bad.

Milan: All you have to do now is eat and listen to me quietly!

Milan: If I write the story I dreamed of, So although this story is still a fairy tale, it cannot be called fairy tale science fiction. I once felt that I should concentrate on writing fairy tale science fiction. However, this dream impressed me deeply, so I decided to break the rule I had set for myself, that is, to try to write this story.

Milan: Although this story took place in the chaotic era of the Middle Ages, it is still a fairy tale. The reason why I call this story a fairy tale is that in this story, some beautiful things happened to the heroine Judy and the hero Arthur, and their ending was perfect.

Milan: Now that you have read all the fairy tales I have written, I have decided to tell this fairy tale that has not yet been written to you alone.

Milan: That's right! Right now!

Milan: So now you just need to concentrate on eating and listening to my story!

Milan: I believe you will have the patience to listen to me finish this story! Because you are my best friend, since childhood, you have always been.

Milan began to tell this story to her best friend Meida:

Middle Ages, Britain Island, Stratford!

Arthur: I have been here many times, but every time I come here, I can see you. Surprisingly, even though we have met each other and each other many times, you have never taken the initiative to greet me. As a knight, I regard my sword as important as my dignity! Therefore, it is best to be careful for me. After seeing me later, you should remember to say hello. This is called courtesy, understand? Ms. Judy.

Judy: I'm not surprised, You will call out my name, because you and my father are old acquaintances, and every time you come here, you will chat with him, and you will drink in the process of chatting. My father is a sword maker and doesn't have so many hearts, so after he gets drunk, he will tell the truth about what you ask him.

Arthur: He must also tell the truth, because he is talking to a knight. If someone lies to the knight, then the knight will raise his sword in response to him! Therefore, I hope you can tell me honestly what you do and who you work for. A woman is doing things like a sword maker and even doing things that the traditional sword maker does not do, so you have to arouse suspicion!

Judy: I just think, If a knight's sword in his hand is tougher than that of his enemy, then when the knight fights with his enemy, the chances of winning will be greatly increased. Although I am a woman, I agree with my status as a sword maker. I just want to build a sword that is sharper and tougher.

Arthur: A woman, who can't even lift a sledgehammer, wants to build a sword that is better than all other sword makers. Should I say you are wishful thinking? To laugh at you without scruple, or should I say that you have commendable courage and great dreams, and then say a series of encouraging words to you.

Judy: If you are willing to encourage me, I don't mind!

Arthur: Indeed, if you can be encouraged by a knight, then you will be greatly encouraged.

Judy: Your sword was made by my father, so for me, what inspires me is that there is a knight who is willing to believe that I am fighting with the sword I have made.

At this moment, Judy took two long swords to the front of Knight Arthur. One of the two long swords was forged by Judy's father and the other was forged by Judy. The purpose of Knight Arthur's visit was to take the sword!

Arthur: What qualifications do you have for me to use your sword? You are just an unknown sword maker. If I use your sword and win the battle, and the news is known by other knights, there will be many knights coming. Then, can you continue to concentrate on realizing your great dream?

Judy: Can I make a sword that is sharper and tougher? This is my business, Therefore, what you are really worried about is whether the brave Arthur Knight will be laughed at by other knights if he wears a sword made by a female sword maker. I can assure you that I will not reveal to anyone that I made the sword worn by the brave Arthur Knight, even my father, I will not tell him!

The author had an idea when he ate delicious Italian pasta. But the pasta came from Arabistan? Although others say that the Arabs borrowed the idea from China along the Silk Road. One way or another, it would be great if Dara could use pasta as a subject for trade! But in the modern world, hundreds of pasta variants of different shapes, contents, taste and color have already been created and are known. Few can surprise them ?!

But if ... if ..yu Daru move to another place and time?

Place for example, parallel fun! After all, astronomers say that there are 22,000 worlds in the world! But it sounds too fantastic, the genre is a fiction of history ... and not science fiction. Although consciousness could temporarily go to Nirvana ... or begin to travel through the universes ... but this is already from Chinese philosophy and Integral Yoga ... Little scientific. In addition, Dara is not fond of science fiction.

Therefore, as one of our design engineers says, it's better to bomb (that is, work) on your subject. So there must be a story ?! So this world, place Earth, but what time to choose? Paleolithic? This is 48,000 years ago. Then, for sure, there was no wheat ... and probably rice ... Then maybe in the Bronze Age? 3000 years ago? The era of the Late Holocene ... it's cold, the glacier has not yet been ravaged ... Although, wait a minute, the very last glaciation of the Earth itself was the Würezke, and this is 35,000 years ago ?! Or maybe Dara would end up in Sogd or Bactria. The language is more or less like Farsi ?! And it looks like the language of Small-An, Esperanto of the Silk Road, a mixture of Arabic, Monogol, Persian, Chinese, Turkic ...

For example, in the 6-7th century? Or immediately during the battle of the Arabs and the Chinese, who had the main Korean commander? The famous Talas battle ?!

It seems best to send Dara, in the era of antiquity, the first settlement of a modern, straight-walking person, that is, the time began to develop mountain valleys, floodplains, terraces, and foothill valleys. Sowing them with walnut trees and bushes. The beginning of a grandiose project on irrigation of the steppe ... the creation of irrigation canals. Visit of the Chinese monks ... the first century AD and as 5 centuries of the functioning of the Silk Road ...

But here I, as an author, already understand that there are so many different versions of such events - rebirth, getting into another world, a parallel world, into the past or the future ... that is, it turns out, again the plot can become a cliché or cliché. That is not original. On the other hand, in the 21st century it is naive to think that after the masters of the genre of writing short stories, geniuses and just masters who have gotten their hands on the writing of works of art, a new genre can be created.

One way or another, I will not endow the main character with super powers, only those that were in the novel "Magic Coin Jiang." It can be with a part of truncated functions.

Or maybe he'll send Dar to the 7th century ... a couple of years before Li-Ban's trip or while sending Li-Ban to the desert ... but then, it will be difficult for the Chinese, who know a lot about cooking noodles, to surprise them and make your business successful.

Therefore, it may be worth sending Dar nevertheless to the "Light" mountains. To not be too fantastic, his knowledge of a foreign language for him. And where will Dara find the money for her business? In those places that the Historian told him about? Will he be able to make a metal detector himself? Or, nevertheless, let the plot be borrowed from Japanese authors with their purchase of equipment on the Internet site or just a selection of goods in a shopping center? Or is it easier to equip Dar with the ability of his eyes and glasses to temporarily work in the ground scanning mode to detect gold coins and silver, copper, bronze, and precious stones. Like a superhero, Maytimaus?

I should think. In total, I plan to write 5 or 10 chapters on this volume. How Dara applies her knowledge from the modern world to become a merchant, open her own trading business, open her own farm store or become a speculator - a reseller. There are many options.

Tomorrow I will write the first chapter.

And along the way, you will have to work on the remaining chapters, Gifts, somewhat abandoned due to the arch with treasure hunters, but I will return to it later. Since there is still new information on this topic.

Thank you, my laconic readers, thank you for reading, this gives an incentive to write further! With respect and appreciation.

COMPLETED

The Silk Road ... it is inevitable the emergence of wells, caravanserais, guard fortresses, postal stations, local bazaars, regional bazaars, the emergence of new jobs:
- robbers (there were whole settlements)
- caravan guards
- changed
- merchants

Just about them and will be discussed.


About their life, tricks.

Alas, English is still the same ... there are mistakes, I am sure of it.

I hope over time I will be able to fix them.

I just wanted to share information about such an interesting topic as the history of the development of the Silk Road.

----
And also a series of stories about treasures, treasure hunters.

This is a work of art. Any resemblance to real people or real events is purely coincidental.

Hello

Sorry about the silent hiatus, had some real life issues. plus needed a break from writing; Good thing is that I took the opportunity to take some writing classes and improve my writing. When I got back I realized that I cannot continue this novel because the writing is too bad.  There isn't a good foundation and some plot decisions were wrong. 

So that brings me to two choices: Start another novel or Re-write this one. I hope you can tell me in the comments what you prefer. Actually, I already started planning another novel. Then I remembered the promise and thought it was best to finish this one first. 

The rewrite will have a lot of differences; I am not just going to copy and paste the old chapters. Some of you guys might not like the changes.

The new novel is actually a Science-Fiction novel. I am excited about it but realize that it will be difficult to write. There is no magic/superpowers so everything has to be explained. It will also be a kingdom building novel( that's my fav genre).

Tell me what you guys think.

Michael was just an ordinary boy living in modern-day America. He grew up in an orphanage with a bleak future. One day he acquired a mysterious package only to inherit a system. Join Michael as he changes his fate and conquers his destiny; armed with a mysterious system that tries to convince him to take over the world.

This is my first novel so I would appreciate any constructive criticism and support.


This novel will also be posted on RoyalRoad.


Zhang Zian thought New Year's would be more relaxing, but the kittens kept him busy. He spent most of his time around the kittens and the two mothers. 
The Crucian Carp that Snowy brought over was very helpful. After eating the Crucian Carp stew, the mothers had been lactating a lot more, almost enough for all the kittens.
Out of her fondness for the kittens, she did her best to come over to help every day. Even if she couldn't make it, she would still send the Crucian Carps over. She said that they were all caught by an older friend.　　 
With her help, Zhang Zian's burden was relieved a little. Now that the holidays were over, he expected Wang Qian and Li Kun, to come back to work.　　 
Feng Xuan was satisfied with the report and photos he had sent. He told him that the demo film of Dog Warrior had been officially submitted to the committee of Berlin Film Festival, and it had been approved by the screening committee to be a candidate for the competition. It was hard to tell whether the statement at the end of the film was useful or not. However, as Feng Xuan had said the committee greatly appreciated how they treated the animals in the crew.  　　 
Zhang Zian had seen some reports on the Dog Warrior movie in the entertainment news. However, since there weren't any superstars in the movie, it didn't gain much attention. There were more reports on another Chinese detective film, which was also participating in the competition. The director of that film was well-known, and it had famous actors.  　　 
Famous was more concerned with the film's progress, and asking Zhang Zian about it a few times a day.　　 
Zhang Zian always told it any updates as soon as he found out, but he also reminded it to lower its expectations. After all, the Berlin Film Festival was the first major film festival of the new year, and there were strong candidates. 　 
Pi's novel was progressing well and rising rapidly. It was second place on the Monthly Power Ranking List for the New Arrivals, which was the same as getting a free recommendation. The author in first place was huge and had been famous for a long time ago.   　　 
In the morning, after Zhang Zian had tended to the mothers and the kittens, he sat next to Pi with a cup of hot tea, watching it write.　　 
After the second upgrade, Pi was typing faster and more accurately. Sometimes it still typed the string of numbers, but it no longer felt puzzled or ashamed. It just simply the deleted it with a grin on its face.　　 
Zhang Zian wasn't good at writing. Even so, he still noticed that after the upgrade, Pi wasn't just writing faster, it was getting better.　　 
As Pi had said in the past, its novel wasn't entirely based on Zhang Zian and the elfins, it was 70% real and 30% fiction. The real part was easy. The imaginary parts gave Pi a headache. 　　 
After the upgrade, Pi got better at writing the fiction plots. It no longer needed to wrack its brain all day. Now, it had free time to play and interact with the its fans.　　
Pi typed the last few words, then it scratched its head in satisfaction. It had been writing ever since it woke up and it had just finished one chapter.　　 
"Eek?" It looked at Zhang Zian expectantly, meaning, "Shall we play hide-and-seek with Galaxy and the others?"
Pi was gradually blending in with the other elfins. Sometimes, when it finished writing early, it would voluntarily ask to join the other elfins' games.　　 
Zhang Zian smiled, about to say yes,when his phone rang. He unlocked his phone and saw a message from the biggest reading list owner on Qidian, Feather of the Chief Specter.　　 
He raised his tea cup and said, "Pi, Galaxy and I are fine. However, hide-and-seek is less fun when there is less people. You can go downstairs and wake Famous up. Try to get it to join the game. I'll come down to look for you after my cup of tea."　　 
"Eek!" Pi nodded. It removed its glasses and placed it on its book, then ran downstairs.
There were no customers right now, so it didn't need to worry about being seen.　　 
After sending it away, Zhang Zian opened the message.　　 
[Feather of the Chief Specter]: Congratulations. You're high on the Monthly Power Ranking.　　
Zhang Zian: Thank you, it's all because of your support and the support of other reading list owners.　　 
He knew that this Internet celebrity was busy and had actual work to do. He must be busy contacting other reading list owners as well, he never would've sent such a personal message. He waited to hear back. 　　 
[Feather of the Chief Specter]: Have you thought about setting a higher goal?　　 
Zhang Zian paused. What higher goal?　　 
Zhang Zian: You mean trying to reach the top of the Monthly Power Ranking List for the New Arrivals? 　　 
[Feather of the Chief Specter]: No, I mean the New King of the Year, or The Best New Author of the Year.  　　 
It was the first time that Zhang Zian had heard about this. 
Zhang Zian: What is that?　　 
[Feather of the Chief Specter]: It's a title for the author with the highest cumulative monthly ranking among new arrivals and new authors. There isn't a materialistic reward, but it's a great honor. The competition is fierce each year.　　 
Pi woke up Famous and tried to persuade it into joining hide-and-seek. Galaxy was at its side, helping. However, Famous wouldn't agree. 　　 
Zhang Zian was speechless, and imagined if Pi was selected. New King? Monkey King? The Best New Monkey of the Year?　　 
Zhang Zian: I'll pass. Leave a more qualified author win. It's just an empty title."　　 
As a novel-writing elfin, Pi should stay low and avoid too much publicity.　　 
[Feather of the Chief Specter]: Is that so? Fine. It may be an empty title, but it's helpful in promoting the novel.　　 
It was obvious that he was trying to persuade Zhang Zian, or Pi.　　
He was thinking of what was best for Pi's novel, but Zhang Zian knew how hard Pi worked to write the novel. If it fought for more awards, it would have to work even harder, and lose its free time. Between honor and health, he'd rather Pi have the latter. After all, Pi still had a long time to write the novel, it wasn't necessary to sacrifice the future for some temporary gain.　　 
Zhang Zian: Thank you for telling me, but I don't plan on competing for the award.　　 
[Feather of the Chief Specter]: I get it. I still want to let you know that even if you aren't interested, other people are. Many people want that honor. Those people will see you and your novel as their enemy.　　 
Zhang Zian frowned. He remembered the attacks in the comment section. The competition for the title would be greater than last time. It was hard to imagine that the others would stay calm. 　　 
Zhang Zian: What should I do?　 
[Feather of the Chief Specter]: I don't have many good suggestions. I'll quote Mao Zedong, try to "dig deep, gather your grain, and do not claim to be the king." Try to get as much support from your fans as possible.  　　 
Zhang Zian thought about it. 　　 
Famous and Pi were both about to be involved in fierce competition. The difference was, one was active and the other was passive.

TLDR: I will be taking a break for around a week due to my school assignments/examinations coming up and will remain posting on 30th July 2018. For my new Webnovel viewers, I wouldn't mind you not voting for me using your power stones next week since I won't be posting for that week!

Hi! For my QI readers, I realised that you didn't get to read how I started writing Spirit Immortal. So below is a short description of myself!


Background about myself and inspirations for writing Spirit Immortal
Currently, I am a university undergraduate, and I have been reading fiction for years. I first got into reading fiction because of anime. Initially, I was a pure anime/manga fan. But I then found out about the existence of light novels. Light novels were far ahead from the existing anime, so I started to binge read translated volumes on Baka-Tsuki. It became somewhat of a drug to me. I kept reading and eventually, fictions had become part of my daily life. However, everything changed when the Yen Press attacked… Suddenly, many of my favourite novels disappeared, and less and less light novel translations surfaced. 

Finding myself in a severe deficit of fictions to read, I found something called Novelupdates. Every few minutes, there was a new novel chapter being released. I was overjoyed. Finally, I was able to satisfy my daily fiction needs. That was how I got into wuxia/xianxia novels. Being ethnically Chinese and fluent in both English and Chinese, there was a great allure for me in these stories. When I was younger, I would frequently watch The Legend of the Condor Heroes and many what we call "wuxia xiaoshuo." So seeing that the traditional stories blend with modern themes was somewhat shocking to me. To think that such a part of the internet existed!

So I started reading a lot of wuxia/xianxia stories. I remember the early days of Coiling Dragon and Stellar Transformations. The friendly competition between Gravitytales and Wuxiaworld. But one day, I encountered Doulou Dalu. For those who have not noticed, Spirit Immortal's cultivation system is inspired by this very novel. The reason being, it was the only cultivation system that I could actually follow. It's a very simplistic system, rank 1-100. The other Wuxia novels cultivation systems confused the heck out of me. However, worry not, Spirit Immortal is not a fanfiction of Doulou Dalu. In fact, other than the cultivation levels, they are nothing alike.

For a while, Doulou Dalu was my favourite novel. To a certain extent, it still is my favourite translated wuxia/xianxia novel. But I started feeling bored. Every single book that I read followed the same format. And after many disappointing stories, I thought to myself… Hey, I could just write something I like!

Thus, the idea of Spirit Immortal started germinating in my mind. It took me over five months to finish plotting the major arcs, characters and finally the ending before I started typing my first word. Majority of the reason why it took so long for me to start writing this story is because of my procrastination and school. Additionally, I didn't know if the story was going to be well received. But eventually, I steeled my mind and said: "Whatever, as long as I am satisfied with the story, who cares?"

So yeah, currently the number one fan of Spirit Immortal is myself, and I can't wait to put the entire story I have in my head into words for all of you to read. It will take time though, so do stick around!


Issues I have had when writing Book Two
I have realised that many of you were unsatisfied with the pace of the story, saying that it is too slow and whatnot. And guess what, I agree! I have been putting the character and world development at the forefront of my story thus slowing down the story progression, However, fret not, now that the first two books are completed, the story progression would begin to expedite as I believe that I have sufficiently developed my characters!

I'm trying to be more descriptive in my writing but that is still a work in progress. Perhaps it would be the greatest hurdle for me but rest assured, I will try my best!

Another major issue I had was time management. I started writing Spirit Immortal during my semester break where I had plenty of time. I even managed to complete Book 1 during that break itself! However, once school started, I had to figure out a way to balance work, personal life and writing Spirit Immortal. There were some days where I only had three hours to efficiently write, proofread and edit my chapter before I deemed it ready to be published. Hence, there might be times where my writing quality dropped slightly but I'm trying my best to ensure that I retain and even improve on my writing quality, so please be patient with me on that one.


Future of Spirit Immortal
Once my semester break hits once more, I will be sitting myself down in order to write as many chapters as I can. Perhaps, eventually, I will take the road of creating a ******* account to allow you guys to read advance chapters and at the same time, give myself some funding to weather through the school days. 

So yeah, I can't thank you guys enough for continuing to stick with me as I continue to write Spirit Immortal. I hope that I will be able to deliver the satisfying fiction that I have conjured up and brought you as much enjoyment as I had in writing this story!

Over a million years ago, the first human contracted with the first Spirit. Ever since then, Spirit use has become commonplace. Humans used Spirits to carry items and start fires. Eventually, even start wars. Thousands upon thousands of years past and one day, one human did the impossible. He transcended his mortality and ascended to the realm above.  

In the present day, the Frie Clan was once a great clan of the Himmel empire. However, a devastating battle ten years ago crippled the clan and their numbers dwindled. To make up for their loss, the upper echelons decided to adopt young orphans and nurture them to become a future pillar of the weakened clan. Shin was one of those orphans. 

Although picked up by the Frie Clan, not all is smooth sailing for Shin and the other orphans...

Currently I am writing this story for my own amusement and because I believe that there is a lot of potential in star wars as a fan fiction. 

I am in college but will try to keep a steady update schedule as it helps to relieve stress from all of the math and science.

Finn will have been an active and smart kid who has always took to fighting and jokes along side his friends. He learned martial arts, which includes traditional Boxing,  Muy-Thai, karate, and Judo. At a young age he started training and there met his best friends who like him loved to fight but also pull pranks, relax and watch star wars, or other wonderful shows.

in 2005, just after the release of star wars: episode 3, our up and coming valadictorian is about to graduate from high school and move on the Stanford with a full ride for Wrestling. Unfortunately, while he is bingewatching all of the previous star wars movies and cartoons after a stressing week of finals he hears and intruder in his home and a loud shriek from his mother...




Thank you for reading this is my first fan fic so I would love to hear what everyone thinks in the comments about the novel or anything you would like to see.

Get up, brush my teeth, get dressed, make breakfast, go to school, come back, study, eat supper, fall asleep. 

That was my schedule, until one day I was awoken by a blinding light. This light spoke to me.

"You are chosen. You are the one who will be given the system"

"What should I do with it?" I asked casually, assuming I was just in a lucid dream. I did have similar dreams before. Getting a system and doing whatever I pleased. Cultivating, fishing. Everything imaginable.

"Whatever you wish, for it is now yours to control." The blinding light vanished and I soon realized it was not a dream which promptly caused me to yell out; "What the hell!?" In front of him was now a rectangular box with information on his now supposed system! 

[Read and Write System!]

[Read any book, be it fiction or non-fiction and write out its content into reality. For every creation, you will level up. Accuracy and power of the creation will affect how much you level up! Each level up will provide ten skill points.

You have been given four skills

>A novelist's memory! 
You will remember every single detail of everything you read and create. 

>Standing on the Shoulders of Giants!
Your imagination and writing skills have reached the peak of humanity. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you could create several worlds within your mind in an instant.

>The world is within the palm of your hand. 
You ignore the law of physics, or, the useless parts of it. You're able to augment your body to god-like levels. Though, each augments uses a skill point!]

>Imagination into Reality! 
You can make anything into reality as long as you can describe it in detail!


Almost instantly, I got out of bed and went to my computer. Logging in, and being greeted by porn. I impatiently said out loud. "Fuck porn, I got more important things to do!" 

I searched up one of my favorite novels. It was just a generic cultivation novel, but it was fun to read! Within a day I had read every single chapter. All the way from chapter 1 to 1034 and I remembered it all! 


Immediately I had the thought of writing it out, but before I could even grab the stuff needed, a pen and book appeared out of nowhere and into my hands. The cover of the book was labeled as "Book of Infinite Ideas" and the pen was named "God's Quill". It did not matter what I used!

I instantly began writing. The first thing I wrote was from the novel he had just read and it played a big part in the story. Soul Transfer!

[Arthur/Me's soul is able to transfer from body to body with no resistance, however, if there is already a soul within that body then Arthur's soul will not kick out that soul, only override the body and put that person's soul into hibernation. Arthur's soul can do this an infinite amount of times!]

As I wrote the end of the sentence I suddenly felt different, as if I was free to do whatever I wanted. I couldn't contain my excitement and instantly tried the most basic sitting stance. The lotus position! 

I got into position and closed my eyes, imagining myself leaving my body and within an instant I achieved it. Of course, having an imagination that could think up several complex worlds within a second would easily allow me to do something trivial like this.
   
I watched as my body slouched over and onto my desk, drooling. I quickly imagined myself back in my body and true to my thoughts, I was back in my body. I picked myself up from my desk and stood up in excitement.

Seeing the system work made me scream out loud! 

"THIS IS AWESOME!

I quickly got back into my chair, grabbed my magic pen and wrote down part two to the soul transfer.

[There is a universe where everyone is universally strong. The me from that universe has 10x the strength as the strongest person within my universe and also boasted 100x organ strength. Meaning, every organ was ten times stronger than within my universe. The version of me in that world had died, but the body was preserved 100% due to the technologic capabilities of that version of the human race. For what reason? To use it for science! However, for whatever reason, some wormhole sucked up my body and brought it to my universe, dropped it within my room, the moment I finished writing this."]

The moment I wrote the period, a crack of what seemed on space itself appeared and out of that crack, came a body! The other version of me from the universe I created! The wormhole then disappeared, his home universe rejecting it! 

I looked down at the other naked dead version of me and smiled brightly! Yes! 

I quickly left my original body and entered into the one from the other universe!

I slowly got up and stretched my limbs, getting a feel for the new power he now had.

"Oh, this is going to be such a blast! What should I do first? Change the world into an RPG? Or have a portal appear in my room that'll take me to an RPG world where I need to level up in order to survive! So many ideas, so little time...WAIT, what if..."

One day, when I was reading, I was given a system by a godly figure. What should I do, I asked it. It said, "Whatever you want." 

On that day, I got the [Read and write System!]
