Chapter 12 - Revisions (1/2)
The lunch was a disaster. We all left in seperate directions and did not speak a single word to each other as we did so. To be honest, I kind of feel like shit right now. I forced my protagonist into this situation and this is what I get. James is probably a bit down even though he looked okay, and Rachel is probably bummed about the hostile atmosphere. Welp, this is what I get for playing with fire, if only I had known.
Now I am in my room, it's 2pm and I feel like shit. What I need is a system shop, I need something to help me with my problems. I mean what is a system without a shop? Sure goals are fun and all, but goals take too much time. I need to get something to guarantee that James grows, but at the same time I need to grow.
It's lonely being near omnipotent! F.U.C.K!
[system shop loaded]
Suddenly a menu appeared in front of me, displaying a wide variety of items that were in the novel. Is this a divine blessing?
I looked through the stock, finding everything from socks to swords. There were even some rare physique awakening herbs. But only one thing caught my eye so much that I couldn't look away. On the bottom right of the infinitely long list was a book labeled 'Revision to Visualisation Mechanics'.
”...” is this shop kicking me while I am down?
'Revision to Visualisation Mechanics blurb: the mechanics from the author's novel has been approved for revision by 9/10 grand ranked xianxia protagonists, 10/10 grand ranked fanfic protagonists, 10/10 Master daoists, 8/10 grand ranked manhwa/manga/manhua protagonists, and 9/9 Seers Of The Paths.
This book will completely change the system for Visualisation, to seperate ranks into sub ranks called the 'Nine Visions'. Increasing visions and ranks will now depend on the stage of visionary enlightenment and raw visionary power.
One could say that this is 'cultivation', however, one can only become 'immortal' at 9th rank.
WARNING: if user continues to use current Visualisation mechanics, there will be no way to advance due to the numerous flaws. Individuals are expected to gain one rank of power after changing mechanics
Please consider using this book, the user shall receive 1000 system coins as compensation for the buffs that will be given to all individuals.'
”...” my Visualisation mechanics that I built alone and trialed and improved on contains 'numerous flaws'? These random people have basically unanimously agreed that my final year's work is trash?
But this is the main strong point for my entire novel! If my romance and mechanics are flawed than my plot should be good, right? Please, where is the plot book?!
'Revision to Visualisation Graduation's plot.'
Everything can be improved. Nothing I made is perfect.
If not any of those, are my fight scenes good? That's where all of the praise came from.
There is no manual for it. I will just look at what the plot book says.
'Revision to Visualisation Graduation's plot blurb: the plot from the author's novel has been approved for revision by 10/10 grand ranked xianxia protagonists, 10/10 grand ranked fanfic protagonists, 10/10 Master daoists, 10/10 grand ranked manhwa/manga/manhua protagonists, and 9/9 Seers Of The Paths.
The book will revise key issues with the plot an make character more 'real'.
NOTE: this book is already in effect.'
So I guess that is why this world's so damn dynamic. Well, this system really knows how to make someone want to die for a second time. No one likes my plot, so what's the f.u.c.k.i.n.g point?
”Hahaha... I am a failure of an author. If this is my life's pride and joy, my life is worth shit.”
'F.u.c.k it.' I dug through my dorm kitchen cabinets, finding some hidden wine and booze. At rank 3, alcohol doesn't negatively affect me. Even if I am just a toddler, as long as I am rank 3, I am all good.
I opened a can of beer and chugged it down, filling me with a sense of warmth. The quality was good, but it just didn't hit the spot. A bottle of wine wasn't enough either, I still can't get drunk.
So... the second day in, not so amazing.
I already enabled the revision on my novel's mechanics. After a split second, I felt that I progressed to the 4th rank, elite. Well that's cool.
I had already bought a few things with 100 of the 1000 points I received. The first is a golden ring which can change my appearance and clothes. The second is a tier 4 dagger, called the Lisp, it is sharp and it is compatible with blade manipulation. The third is a pill which can help me raise my rank.
As I slowly started, I thought of the bitch. She insulted my life's work. Something lit up in my heart, it was passion. I felt like I was burning up inside, almost as if I was submerged in the sun. ”Michelle, I hate you.” I swear, I regret writing you.
As soon as I said these words, I heard the door creak. I discreetly put away everything and went to the door. In front of me was none other than my biggest regret, Michelle.
”You haven't forgotten your promise, right?” She looked at me deadpanned.
”Well what did I promise you? Does Mickey wanna play hide and seek? I am always ready to play fun games!” I cheerfully lied.
”You the stake was simple, if you were unable to find a 'ten' for me then you would have to be a substitute.”
