Chapter 103: Take Care Grand Ancestor!
The grand ancestor of Aduseon readily faced Harry, while signaling for the queen and princess of Aduseon to escape.
The queen of Aduseon understood what she was trying to do, and with tears in her eyes, she dragged the princess to escape through the large glass window behind her, which had a large painting of the royal family of the witches.
Harry saw them trying to escape and lifted his sword to throw it at them, when the witch raised her hand and restricted his movements with great effort.
After all, even though she had great magic power, she couldn't restrict someone with superhuman strength for long without using a considerable amount of mana.
The queen of Aduseon used her magic to break the window, and dragged the crying princess of Aduseon to jump down.
The princess of Aduseon screamed something before her voice faded away. "TAKE CARE GRAND-"
The grand ancestor felt her heartstrings being played with when she heard what the princess had said. She had a reinforcing thought in her head. 'It's all worth it. Anyway, I don't have to die. If I can defeat him quickly then-'
Her thoughts were interrupted by Harry lifting his hand and using some sort of spell to counter hers.
---------------------------
Harry was going to throw his sword at the fleeing women when he felt as if his whole body had turned into stone. A numb feeling overcame him, and it felt incredibly uncomfortable.
Harry felt itchy all over as he tried his best to move. But, the most he could move was a few lighter twitches of his body.
He felt extremely irked when he saw the both woman jump off. That just made a whole lot more work for him.
He glared at the grand ancestor and asked his system to enable the magic powerup.
[As you wish, Host.]
Pluto asked, "Should I take over, kid?"
I said, "No need Pluto. Let me learn to control my powers."
Pluto chuckled softly as he thought, 'The kid's getting more independent. Now, all he needs to do is to get a little less dependent on the system and it's items.'
Harry felt a warm sensation flowing through his whole body, which eased the itching and numb sensation of his body quite a bit. He then felt a spell's name come into his head, which he immediately chanted.
Harry felt the heavy and restricting sensation that was all over his body immediately dissapear.
He grinned menacingly as he lifted his sword in one hand and lifted his empty hand along with it.
It was quite a comical pose to be truthful, but for the grand ancestor who was looking at it, it was an extremely deadly pose.
She felt shivers penetrate her spine as she looked at him.

Author's Note - Try to read all the shit I'm gonna say, or skip it if you don't like a whiny author. Just start reading the story from the start.
-------------------------------
There are so many things to tell you all.
Firstly, I'm rewriting my book. Yippee! I've rewritten like the first 30 chapters, and will continue to rewrite more and more everyday. But, now, that raises the question, why are you uploading a new chapter? Can't you just rewrite like a good author would do? That's something I'll discuss in the later part of the note.
Secondly, the chapters that I'll be releasing like this are going to be 1,500 words long. Yup, gonna ramp it up from 1000 to 1,500. The reason for this will be discussed in the later part of this note too. Don't scold me! I know it's annoying but it'll all make sense when I tell you the reason why in the end note!
Thirdly, well yup this is all what I wanted to talk about, pretty much right? Then the reason. Money. Now now now, don't go making assumptions. I mean the mgs that webnovel gives. What is mgs you ask? It's minimum guaranteed sum. If an author releases 1500 words per day, and I'm talking about every day in a month, then webnovel will give 200 dollars to him for that month. This seems like such a low amount, doesn't it? I know. But to authors like me living in second and third countries, that amount is useful enough. And that brings me the painful requirement of rewriting my story while writing new chapters everyday. Even if I ignore the 200 dollars, I will still have to upload a chapter at the least per day because of two reasons.
First of all, the win win event. To those of you who don't know, its and event that gives coins back to readers along with a badge, and for writers on the other hand.... it gives a badge and a holiday in the next month. Yup only that for updating 1 chapter per day without failure. Okay just kidding, it also gives you good features depending on the number of privilege readers. And I need those features. My book is going really dry right now. Not many comments and only a handful of people adding it to the library per month.... and the PS is absolutely horrendous....
Only like 20 per month... So I have to ramp by game up. If I can successfully get some good priv readers along with daily updates.... then I'm settled.
Now, my paying readers may be like, hey just shut up. I paid like 5 dollars for your shitty book, and there are like atleast 10 more people who have done that! Now listen me out.
That's like 50 dollars, a good amount. But we only get like a portion of it. After the advertising fees and all that cut off it, which is a big toll by the way, we get only 50 percent after that's been cut from our earnings.
To tell you how bad our situation is, I'll give you an example.
In December, when I updated like 1 to 2 chaps per day, and I only got 14 dollars at the end of the month. Now, that's after my loyal readers paying for it, unlocking the chapters, and an overall amount....
Free coins don't go to the authors... Fast passes are absolutely useless for us too. You can understand my pain right?
Well to conclude, read my rewritten chaps. It's not only correcting grammar and all, but it's like a whole new story, with way more troubles for the MC and all. To the people who have read till here, they're all unlocked anyway, right?
The story this time is a bit more slowly paced with Harry facing way more Resistance, and the system is a girl. I know, don't look at me like that. As wrong as it sounds, it's really funny. Oh also, the first world will take a lotttt of chapters. Like I've done 30 chaps, and I've only reached convincing the farmers now. But, it doesn't get boring or dragged out (I think). I mean I feel it doesn't, as there's like these new injectables that can inject knowledge, there is this new system function called the 'Personality Scope' and the system has a name now, Raelynn.
[Sighs]
Don't look at me like that. I wanted to make the system more humanized. Imagine a fully human system with a girly voice and an amiable manner. If I keep calling that system, system again and again, people will skin me alive.
Well my editor will. He's a lolicon and that's why he begged me to add the System's form as a flat chested loli-
[Feels an intense stare at him. Sweats heavily.]
Ahahaha, I was obviously just joking! How could an editor threaten me? That was of my own volition! For the lolicons who are reading my story of course. I crack such funny jokes don't I?
Join my discord server. I'll give you live updates of what chapters I've rewritten or all stuff like that. The link in the description of the story, if you want to join.
I'm trying my best to juggle my student life, author life, and all the other problems of mine. But what I can assure you is that I'll always be trying to make this story become better and better. Please vote with PS for this story. Why you ask? It gives me more exposure. We have an internal author ranking based on PS and all.
I'm somewhere in 2158 with like 1900 people who've added me to the library.
That's just pitiful... I've seen authors with 800 cols (people adding to the library) having like 200 PS...
Well to conclude, don't mind about all this and start reading the story from the start. It's now better I feel. I'm getting a good evaluator called @Arashi Zaros to read my story and point out flaws. I invite all you readers to do the same. Please do. I'll be as responsive as I can and respond to any message that I get a notification for.
