Video Game Cultivator Chapter 8: Bad memories

The hysterical exclamation that there was a monster on the loose would perhaps have suggested that Elder Flower and Jin would immediately run out to hunt said monster.

However, the statement was not actually that informative and inner disciple Ting was too scared to truly give them more information than that.

It was here that Jin got to see another side of his mentor. Elder Flower sat down the  female disciple on one of the elaborate wooden chairs in the so-called landing roo...

Video Game Cultivator Chapter 7: Travel the world, meet interesting people, kill them

It was after another three weeks of tutelage from Elder Flower that Jin was standing in the mission room of the middle ring. Well, calling it tutelage was probably an overly enthusiastic way of describing it. They rarely met, and Flower simply directed his training, telling him what to focus on and giving him the opportunities to do so.

That was why he had been focusing almost solely on swordsmanship and cultivation. His enthusiasm at delegating more of his cultivation nodes to physical...

Rattata Chapter 23: Money, money, money, must be funny, in a...

Joey idly stretched his arms to the left and to the right as he exited Saffron onto route 7. He hadn't been here for a while, having spent a lot of time recently on route 8. In his limited experience, that was the place where the toughest trainers hung out, and he'd been missing out on some ass-kickings recently. Of his own ass, that was.

It also helped that from there he could quickly reach Constance, where he often went to visit the pair of golduck and misdreavus. It was a safe walk t...

Harry Evans Chapter 57: Consequences

Harry was not unused to going to sleep in a state of anxious waiting. He'd lived more than thirty years now, and he'd experienced it all. Going to sleep a day before a medical operation, dreaming about having one's sides cut open to remove a swollen appendix. Going to sleep with a family member in the ER after a horrendous car-crash, knowing that on the next day, he would find out if they were either alive or dead. He'd even gone to sleep once as a child in the U.S, on a family vacation, wond...

General update

I haven't really talked about it much, but my forearm got pretty badly cramped a few months ago and hasn't really recovered perfectly. I went to the physiotherapist today, actually the physiotherapist for the national football team, my gf's dad is a sports producer so that's the connection, and he told me that I do the repetitive motion of writing a bit too much. (Gave me a crazy massage, I swear I almost died.)

I already fixed this problem after the initial issue three months. These da...

How to train your rattata Chapter 22: The unbeatable type-check

As the deadline for the next gym battle approached, Joey nervously started to consider the possibility that he would be facing Surge with just two Pokemon. No matter how open he tried to be to the idea of a new team member, he never quite managed to meet a pokemon that really fit his idea of what a professional battler should act like. Unwilling to compromise on this issue he simply put himself more and more into the training of the team that he did have.

Missions became a useful source...

Poll Winning vote: Sabrina

Aight aight aight. I see Sabrina has won the vote, quite convingly. I will now start working on her interlude chapter. I'll likely combine it into the story around the time of Joey's third gym-battle against Surge. Which is going to be around chapter 25-26 I'd say. I will start another poll  for the first chapter of a potential story after I finish writing the interlude. So, probably in a week or two.

I'll also first make a post for collecting ideas for the stories. Have some new i...

Harry Evans Chapter 56: The safest place in the world

Harry had been standing disillusioned in the corner of the room in Hogwarts that had been used to teach ball-room dancing centuries ago for approximately fifteen minutes when a beetle finally flew in through a window that he'd opened, and transformed into Rita Skeeter. The reporter stumbled in her high heels from the transformation, likely encumbered by the large camera she was carrying. By her method of infiltration she'd removed the possibility of using an actual photographer, so the pictur...

How to train your Rattata Chapter 21: The poison master's teachings

"All right rattata, show me how far you've gotten with dig," Joey said.

After having gotten their asses kicked by Lorelei last week, and hadn't that been a blast, they had quickly fallen into a routine which they were growing increasingly familiar with as they grew as a team. They trained in the mornings, did missions when good ones were posted on the board and challenged trainers in the afternoon.

Generally the training occurred outside of town. Joey wanted to give himself at lea...

Chapter 55: the calm after the storm, the calm before the storm

Walking up the stairs to the owlery, as cracked and covered with mouse bones as they were, Harry wondered about what Dumbledore had done with the information he'd provided him. He day-dreamed that the man had already gotten rid of all the Horcruxes, went to Albania, and banished the shade hopefully wandering around there somewhere. Of course the biggest problem would be if Neville was also a Horcrux. James, for all that he was apparently willing to leave his adopted son to pursue teaching, pr...

Pokemon interlude vote

Just brought out the first chapter prototype of "Great Teacher Iruka," which means its time to vote for what the next pokemon interlude will be. After I write that we'll go for a new prototype again. Then a Harry Evans interlude.

You guys have mostly helped me narrow it down to four possibilities, and now it's time to choose.

Great Teacher Iruka Chapter 1

AN: This took a while, I know. But, I decided that if I'm already writing a conceptual first chapter for the story y'all voted on in the end, I might as well experiment a bit. It's why it took that long.

One week after the chunin exams finale and the invasion

Two men wearing black cloaks marred with red clouds walked a simple dirt path towards Konoha.

One was taller than the other, and carried what appeared to be a...

Harry Evans Chapter 54: Racoon-boy

The next few days flew by Harry as if they were farts in the wind. After having given Dumbledore the information, he obviously couldn't use the room of requirement, which is where he'd been spending most of his time in his second year at Hogwarts. However, his magical sense was developed enough that he could train it just by walking around the magical castle and tasting the different flavours present, and he had started to outgrow the duelling dummy recently anyway, so he wasn't too mad about...

Video game cultivator chapter 6: The Library, the young Master, and the beautiful Flower

The tip of Jin's lance shot forward before quickly retracting again along with the wooden shaft. The jiangshi that he had just decapitated with the move fell to the ground, just as another one of the eastern zombies managed to latch itself onto his back and drag him down to the panelled floor of the mansion he was fighting in. It was in that position that he didn't stand a chance anymore and the zombies swarmed him and tore him to pieces.

The first time it had happened several weeks ago...

Harry Evans Chapter 53: Letting go of fear and passing on

AN: Very long chapter, next one probably a bit shorter in return.

Harry was sitting down in a closed and thus dark broom-cupboard. He'd been here for a few minutes, but expected that his wait would end soon. As expected at some point he noticed a presence at the door and a tenuous knock resounded through the wood.

"Come in," he said, and the door opened outwardly, Tonks staring down at his crouched form without saying anything.

"Nothing to say?" Harry asked ...

Rattata Chapter 20: Facing a future member of the Elite Four

AN: I bet you're looking forward to reading this chapter, huh? Facing a future member of the elite four. well, before you can go do that you have to waste five seconds reading this completely irrelevant author's note in which I say nothing of value! Mwahwahwahwahwahwahwahwah.

It wasn't long before Joey emerged onto route 8. The same place that he'd left it in fact, at the construction site of the underground tunnel. Although, now that it was t...

Harry Evans Chapter 52: There ain't no rest for the wicked

Harry was in his dorm, writing a letter, scratching out passages, inserting new ones, remembering all the minutiea he could remember. He wasn't writing to his family, which was the usual reason he had for writing letters while at Hogwarts. No, he was writing down his so-called future knowledge. What Voldemort's Horcruxes were, their location, how to destroy them, his theory that the man had gone completely insane from splitting his soul that often, and that a shard was likely to be found in t...

Video game cultivator Chapter 5: Laying the foundations

Of course, simply because Elder Flower had so graciously offered Jin help that even core disciples would have likely fought to receive; this did not mean that there were not at first several other things to handle.

After all, as surreal as it still felt, Jin had just passed the examination process for his ascension to being an inner disciple. This meant that he had to be shown his new accommodations, the new cultivation and knowledge resources he now had access to and just generally acc...

Harry Evans Chapter 51: Priority on W.A.S.P

AN: You thought it would be anything else, but it's me, Harry Evans!

Harry was doodling on the mock test that Vector had given the class. For once it wasn't because he'd solved the entirely quite easily and now had extra-time until the time ran out. Oh, sure, such had been the case for nine of the ten questions, but the tenth one he didn't even know how to start. So he just left it out and started waiting. Of course that had gotten boring at some point so there he was, ...

Harry Evans: Chapter 50: What Cerberus?

AN: Things get a bit darker

For all intents and purposes, things had been going rather well for Harry Evans in recent times. Having received private instructions and promises of such from very talented individuals indeed, all evidence pointed to his future development as a very powerful and skilled wizard. However, a new moon followed shortly after his discussion with Flitwick, and with this moon had come a disaster which had shaken Hogwarts to the core.

"A moment...

Rattata Chapter 19: Hymns to the forgotten

Having stepped out of the eastern gate, Joey breathed in the fresh air of the pine trees and enjoyed the wide panoramic view that he got of the route. Saffron lay on a little incline, which meant that he could see quite far.

There were a surprisingly high amount of trainers mingling everywhere, having spontaneous battles, or training their teams. Perhaps he could snag a match on his way back, combine everything into one.

But, for now he had a mission to get to, he ignored the susp...

General Update

Taps mic to create a truly ungodly sound.

"Sorry," he whispers.

Hey guys, here with a small update. Recently got some new patrons, very cool!

The video game designer cultivation story is continuing and even got commissioned for a few more words per month that was originally the case, 7.5k/month -> 2x 3.75k/chapters/month.

Things are all on track so no issues there, Chapter 19 of the rattata story will be dropping tomorrow, then in three days ...

Video Game Designer Cultivator Chapter 4: Old Men stuck in their ways shall foverer be done away with by the young surging upwards on the tide of new ideas.

Simply standing there and looking at the female Elder, as she held the illusion Room in her hands and looked at it with a blank gaze was an excruciating experience. And it wasn't only Jin who started getting anxious feet from the waiting, as after a few minutes even Elder Lung and Elder Qin started exchanging confused looks.

As the few minutes stretched into what must have been half an hour, the two Elders even decided to consider intervening.

“This is ridiculous, the boy must h...

Harry Evans Chapter 49: Securing the mentors

"Finite," Percy Weasley invoked a bit too loudly, likely discouraged by his previous failures. They were learning the general counter-spell in today's charms class and had been put in pairs of animator and dispeller. Harry, perhaps due to being distracted, had blessed the pillow with an animation charm that was a tad too powerful. Ever since he'd started practising magical sensing he had been getting more and more proficient with enchantment type charms, as his magic became more easi...

Harry Evans Chapter 48: The passionate and the ambitious

The Hogwarts express announced itself with a loud whistle as it slowly chugged to a stop at station 9 ¾. Harry shared a glance with his aunt, who was standing reluctantly at the wall that led into the magical part of the train station. She'd wanted to accompany him to the train, to see him off properly. But due to her quite rational fear of the magical world, she wanted to stay standing at the exit, so that she could leave quickly.

An unsaid good-bye passed through where their eyes met...

Video Game Cultivator Chapter 3: the elderflower test

AN: Here is the third chapter of the story, hope you enjoy it.

In an event that was becoming a worrying regularity, Jin awoke while lying on the wooden floor of his hut. Despite the implications of this fact on his mental state, he quickly identified the most important factor in his current situation as the sunlight likely tickled at his eyes from the window.

The illusion Room.

It was done, glowing a soft pink. There was a slight vibration, a hum ...
