Trash Heir: My System is Different

Chapter 38: ?

*Author's Note*

Today, what should I write about? The recent situation feels quite peculiar, and my mood has been somewhat ethereal. For a while now, I've simply been going through the motions.

To reach this point, one must constantly make choices and sacrifices. Living within this crowded world, resources are limited, and competition is fierce. Everyone has their own difficulties, with no one having any particular solution.

The current environment is merely one option among many.

I seem to have a talent for rushing through difficult periods. Whether it's the early stages or later challenges, I've always managed to get through them. It's just that my speed might be slightly faster than others. In this regard, I'm quite proud of myself.

Unfortunately, the road ahead remains long, and what lies ahead is still uncertain.

It seems the battlefield will only grow more intense, with no possibility of retreat. My own battle has only just begun.

Although I may have found a path, the divine beast that once led me astray has already spread its influence far and wide.

The battle... I'm still far from reaching that realm.

The current situation is merely a preliminary stage.

If I had a choice, I would have chosen a different path long ago. The path of writing is filled with thorns and hardships—why must I continue down this road?

Perhaps, from a different perspective, there might be something more valuable than personal gains and losses.

I will continue forward, maintaining my original intention.

I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me along the way. The only thing I can do in return is to continue writing the story well.

Some readers asked why I don't update as frequently as before.

The answer is quite simple—I simply don't have the time.

I'm not a full-time writer; I have other responsibilities that demand my attention. Writing has always been something I do on the side, in whatever spare time I can find.

So please, don't misunderstand me. I haven't given up on writing.

Some readers asked why I don't interact as much in the comments section anymore.

The answer remains the same—I simply don't have the time.

Between managing work, dealing with various matters, and maintaining my writing schedule, there's hardly a moment to spare. I've been completely exhausted lately and haven't had the chance to engage with everyone as I used to.

Reading through the comments, I can see many readers asking questions and sharing their thoughts. I truly appreciate everyone's participation, but I'm afraid I can't respond to each one individually.

For now, I'll focus on writing the best story I can and responding when I have the opportunity.

Regarding the topic of switching classes that many readers have been asking about, I can provide a brief explanation here.

The answer is quite simple—the protagonist won't be switching classes. The current class progression is already planned out, and there's no intention to change it.

As for the weapons and equipment mentioned, I can offer some details about their effects.

This is an item I created myself: Fire Dragon Scale

Description: A scale from a fire dragon, emitting a faint crimson glow. When used to craft equipment, it grants powerful fire resistance properties.

Price: 60 gold coins

This is another item: Dark Poison Powder

Description: A fine purple powder crafted by master artisans. When applied to weapons, it greatly enhances their toxicity.

Price: 10 gold coins

This is a special item: Crimson Blood Elixir

Description: A potent elixir that restores a significant amount of health. Though its taste is rather unpleasant, its effectiveness is remarkable.

Price: 10 gold coins

Please remember not to use these carelessly~

Price: 10 gold coins

...What is all this?

I just noticed someone asking about the most suitable item combinations for hunting large monsters.

Allow me to provide some suggestions based on the original author's viewpoint: Small game hunting is suitable for beginners seeking efficiency.

If you're looking to challenge larger creatures, then I suggest focusing on these combinations.

Speaking of which, there's something I want to address. Some readers mentioned that I'm only writing for the money and that I don't interact with readers anymore. They suggested I should focus on making money instead of writing.

Let me be direct here—yes, I do earn some income from writing. But that doesn't mean I don't care about the story or the readers. Every chapter I write is crafted with genuine effort and dedication.

If you're just here to criticize without reading, then perhaps this story isn't for you. There are many other works out there that might suit your taste better.

Some readers asked about the stone walls in the game world. I can confirm that stone walls do exist in this setting. They appear in certain areas and serve specific purposes in the game mechanics.

The System then displayed a series of System notifications.

[You have acquired the recipe: Beast Taming]
[Auto-learning has been initiated...]

[You have acquired the recipe: Monster Capture]
[Auto-learning has been initiated...]

I noticed that some recipes were set to auto-learn by default.

There seems to be a wealth of knowledge available here. Among these records, I only managed to glimpse a few things before my concentration wavered.

I gathered my belongings and prepared to leave.

Let me check the current status of my Beast Tamer skills.

If you want to tame powerful monsters, certain conditions must be met. It seems rather complicated to explain everything at once.

Let's begin with the basics.

First, I'll need to gather some materials.

These are essential for the taming process. While the explanation was somewhat vague, the core requirements seem to involve space, resources, and certain preparatory steps.

I started organizing my thoughts, preparing to begin the task.

The System then prompted me with a new notification.

[You have acquired a new skill: Beast Taming (Beginner Level 1)]
[Passive Effect: Increases taming success rate by 5%]

[Skill Description: Allows taming of wild monsters. Requires Beast Taming tools and materials. Success depends on the monster's level and your skill level.]

The road ahead is long, and there are still many things I don't fully understand. But at least I've taken the first step.

I'll continue forward with determination.
