Uncle Ben arrived a week later to stay with us at the house. I was surpris...

Over the next two weeks, I completed the prep work on all the fields. Getting Dad to bring the tractor down the road for the smaller properties was a colossal pain. The tractor was slow—even with...

System Architect - Ch 67

The orders for equipment and seeds were in place, so there wasn’t much else to steal my attention. I had a lot of time to wait before anything interesting happened. That meant I focused on quests...

System Architect - Ch 66

Daisy was the first interview I’d ever conducted. Even in my past life, where I’d been an adult, I’d never run a business or been a manager. I’d been on the other side of the table many tim...

 Next on the agenda was finding an assistant. I reached out to some recruiters to start that process. Because of the time of year, I wasn’t expecting any results for at least a month. The re...

Two days later, I was in contact with a real estate agent. She was local to the area I was looking in and would be an excellent resource to help me find the land I needed. Through the real estate a...

I had no choice but to test the new feature. While I could have chosen Mom or Grandpa Joe, I ended up picking Dad. He was the closest. Before I went to him, I thought about a small contract to test...

System Architect - Ch 62

Grandpa Joe, it turned out, had a life outside of helping me from time to time. He was traveling for a week to hang with some friends of his. We set a date to meet three weeks later—he had other ...

The next day was Sunday. Easter. Unlike the previous time, I had the full Quests series unlocked. That meant a quest for finding all the eggs! The rewards were mediocre—just twen...

“Mil—uh—Eddy! Grandpa Joe replied!” Dad called, an hour after lunch.

I ran down the stairs. Dad was still in the living room by the TV.

“What’s up?” I asked.

System Architect - Ch 59 (Book 2 Start)

AN: Welcome back! I'm moving to a 3x a week schedule moving forward. As such, y'all get this one on a Monday instead of Friday. You'll be a little behind the 15 ahead I was aiming for, but you'll c...

Author Note: So ends Book 1. I will be taking a week off, which means the next chapter will fall on 12/6.

Light enveloped me. A strong feeling of vertigo gripped ...

System Architect - Ch 57

The convention center had been rearranged. Instead of being broken down into places for tournaments to take place, it was set up for each school to have their own location. Dad left me in the care ...

At the moment I made for the closest crowd of people, I heard the sound of a notification as it popped in front of my eyes.

Author Note: I have finished writing Book 1 (chapter 58). I will be taking a 1 week break from writing to plan the next book. This will be reflected in a break for you starting after chapter 58 dro...

System Architect - Ch 54

Author note: With this chapter, you are now 15 ahead. This is the last extra chapter for a while. I may move to a 3x a week schedule with the next book, but no promises.

System Architect - Ch 53

I sat with Mom and Ken in the living room after breakfast. The Christmas tree had both white and colored lights strung around it. Dozens of ornaments and candy canes hung from the branches. Beneath...

The next week, Mom and Dad both came with me to Master Chang’s Tiger Academy. It was finally time for my promotion to yellow belt. The place was filled with parents, families, and other loved one...

System Architect - Ch 51

Author Note: I meant to have this ready to go out earlier today. With the election chaos here yesterday, I got wrapped up in that and didn't write or schedule anything. I will be rectifying that no...

System Architect - Ch 50

The next day, I arrived at my grandparents’ house early in the morning. Grandpa Milton had specifically requested that I get there as early as I could. Planting ten rows of corn was going to take...

System Architect - Ch 49

I ended up skipping the next beginner class. Normally, I wouldn’t have wanted to do that after just starting to learn martial arts, but I had a good reason. It was Dad’s 30th birthday. His side...

System Architect - Ch 48

Two days later, Grandpa Joe picked me up from Dad’s trailer. He was beginning to look older. I didn’t think one year had been a long time. His face looked like it had aged five years in that ti...

System Architect - Ch 47

Mom had words for us when we returned from the trip. That meant I was on a short leash for a while. The rest of the summer passed without incident, as did my final year in school. I turned nine ove...

System Architect - Ch 46

That night, I learned Grandpa Joe snored. Like intermittent rumbles of thunder—only far less calming. The heat kept me awake for a while, too. Eventually, though, I was able to ignore both and sl...

System Architect - Ch 45

Extra chapter! Don't always expect them weekly. If I do have them every week, I will stop when Patreon is 15 ahead of RR. This makes y'all 12 ahead.

System Architect - Ch 44

I ended up with an A for the project and good feedback from the professors who had both graded the written and witnessed the presentation. I was happy with the results and sent a thank-you note to ...

System Architect - Ch 43

I met up with Dinesh a week before finals to see where we were for the project and what still needed to be done. I was done with my business plan and with the logistics around sourcing materials or...

Surprise extra chapter!

My first semester went well. I went home for winter break and returned after the new...

System Architect - Ch 41

After a week of classes, I considered my situation. The university had almost everything I needed to get my quests done every day. From a pool and a gym to solid wifi for puzzles and arithmetic, I ...

System Architect - Ch 40

The rest of the summer slipped by. I enjoyed the second session of the summer camp more than the first. Mac returned, as did Micah—though he ended up in the other group. My increased stats allowe...
