    Huh, strange. I remember putting in the word "Rifle" when I was writing this. I'm not sure why it came out as "Pistol" instead. But anyway, thanks for pointing that out. I know that the Model 8 is a rifle, just not sure why the word changed. Must be because I've been writing without a beta...

    Thanks bud.

  3. Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

    Well, that's how I understood why blackpowder muskets never took off. Too late to retcon it now. Also, I know Exusiai should be taking this more seriously, but she's just not a very serious person in the end, so I think this fits how she'd act. Meanwhile, if this was Executor, Lemuen, Insider...

  4. Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

    It's because firearm technology never really took off due to a handful of factors which include: Terrans are a lot more durable than humans, so I imagine they simply made stronger and stronger crossbows or melee weapons, instead of gunpowder. Firearm technology was only developed by ONE race of...

    They're leaving entirely.

  6. Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

    I keep forgetting to put this at the bottom of chapters, but kindly leave a comment or even an extra chapter if you can. I love it when the thread gets some engagement. But nothing toxic please. Thank you.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 19.1

    Cutting Contracts The call took a moment to connect. Arno stood near the edge of the street with his back to the cart, watching the morning traffic pass by in a slow, steady rhythm. He rubbed his thumb along the side of his phone once before lifting it properly to his ear when the line clicked...

  8. Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

    Just wanna apologize to everyone who's been waiting. Internship's been beating my muse and motivation like how the Viltrumites were taking it after Allen released Battle Beast. I'm almost done with the next chapter, and will write the interlude soon. Expect the first within a few days, and the...

  9. Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

    I might actually just recall this chapter and slightly revise it. I am also unhappy with how clipped the dialogue feels in this, so I will consult someone to help me with this. It will be a while though.

  10. Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

    I tried to work on this without a beta reader this time since some people were unhappy with the AI feel, and my actual friend who usually does it is busy with exams. I'll keep working on it. Thank you

  11. Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

    They know he's useful. The issue is that they can't get a slice of the pie. And because Arno is selling his stuff at the same price as regular food and drink, people will start looking to him as opposed to them.

  12. Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

    That's true in our world, but not on Terra. Firearm production is an extremely tightly kept secret by the Laterano. Jessica is and some others are allowed to use them since the boss of their agency, Blacksteel, is a Laterano himself. Plus, they don't use gunpowder, but originium-based materials...

  13. Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

    By the way, for the guy who became the catalyst of the event by asking for the coffee. The Hospital Worker, Charlie White Jr., is penguinz0. I just wanted to put an end to the activity early. Thanks for those who tried to engage though.

  14. Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

    They will, don't worry. I have an idea in mind. I just hope it doesn't cause continuity errors for the sequence of events in Arknights, which is why I limited the number of Named Operators for this Arc to Penguin Logistics, LGD, and Lin.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 18

    Mounting Pressure The pressure began quietly at the start of the week. Two unfamiliar men started lingering near the cart during lunch hour. They positioned themselves close enough to the line that their comments carried, but not close enough to be accused of blocking customers. They talked...

  16. Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

    I wrote it myself, I only use AI as a beta reader since I don't have a lot of people that can beta read for me. I just stick to its advice and examples hence the writing style reflects that. As I said in chapter 1, this is my first time writing longform. I've only written oneshots in a wattpad...

  17. Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

    Got it in one for the perception filter. Plus, the fact that the world actually has magical things in it (Arts, dragons, eldritch terrors in Sami, etc.) makes it a lot harder to pinpoint, especially since the aforementioned Arts can come in all shapes and sizes. So it may be uncommon to the...

    Nope :) The Hospital Helper/Worker is a real guy

  19. Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

    Just to reiterate on my message at chapter 17, whoever is the first to comment on the reference I used for Tenno's OC (the guy who asked for the coffee) will be given an omake written by me to their specifications. I dropped a few hints in this chapter, so get to it. Get to guessing people.

    Extras: Temporary Rivalry (Non-Canon)

    One Mysterious Day One morning in Lungmen, the world felt strangely complete—too seamless, too inevitable. Arno guided his modest cart to its accustomed corner, the same narrow stretch of pavement he had claimed for years. He allowed the vehicle to settle with its familiar soft hum, set the...
