Early Chapter 57: Life Has No Epilogues

Sarah Lin

Yeah, that was its purpose. Functionally a leech, but marketed like it's a core that benefits the user.

>It took me a while to make the connection, but I'm guessing "Advanced Lucrim" is called that because that's exactly what it is, an advance on your own future Lucrim? Correct! The Golden Lucore was introduced because I wanted to do this twist, with it serving a cynical corporate purpose. Glad you're looking forward to future stories. ^-^

Nice ending. I love this slow, slife of life, but still full of fantasy stories.

Enjoyed this book immensely, loved how it finished, and eagerly await the next :)

A rather nice ending. So that's what the golden lucore was, and why it didn't do anything : I suppose it either works like a leech, and extracts lucrim from you while growing, or like an inert core that grows overtime and that you have to pay to have removed. Looking through the previous chapters... ""Wow, great." With troubling speed the casually-dressed man slipped forward and took it from him. He drew it close and peered at it, then glanced toward him eagerly. "You're not part of the test group, but I gotta ask, did you feel anything? It's supposed to be a future lucrim burn, but if the core wasn't working right maybe it would have just felt like a drain?"" Seems like it's the first one then? Just an aura leech, but in the form of a core, so presumably harder to remove? Mhh... Anyway, looking forward to the poll and to what you do next!

I would definitely like to see more of this world you've built

It took me a while to make the connection, but I'm guessing "Advanced Lucrim" is called that because that's exactly what it is, an advance on your own future Lucrim? I think this is a great payoff for the whole Golden Lucore element, since it really ties in the perspective from which these large corporations actually operate. The Golden Lucore never constituted a great powerup, but then, developing some special elite powerup would probably never have profited them as much as the Advanced Lucrim business. Whatever pace the rest comes out at, I have to say, I'm just glad this isn't the end of Street Cultivation. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you plan to do with it from here.

This was the perfect ending for this story and arc. He isn’t going to get it all at once, that’s sort of contrary to the nature of the story you wrote... and wouldn’t have worked. I like the golden lucrim tie in, this was just a fantastic eventful story chapter to chapter. It has so much in the world that makes me want to know more!

Stephen Pearson

I love how you brought it full circle, well done:-)

Alexander Dupree

I love him taking the punch.

C. Wilbs

Well done! Very Well done. :)

Thanks for the great story. This was a great ending rapping everything up in a fairly nice bow.

Having a healthy sister, a raise, several friends/ romantic interests and no debt are significant accomplishments. All 4 of these things I wish for in real life!

Jamarr

Thanks for the chapter! I like this ending to book ones, things haven't drastically changed on the day to day but I'd say that he now has a better foundation and outlook to build on.

James

A very satisfying ending,
