Diederik Rask: Blog

Finally am done making adjustments to the story up to the end of Part 3. I found some errors in chapters 25 and 26, so I am reposting them along with the rest of Part 3.

This has been a lot of work and I've been ill these last few days. So, I may take a bit of a break. Hell, who am I kidding? I'll likely work on the story unless I am bedridden. Enjoy!

I just uploaded the story from Part 1 chapter 1 through Part 3 chapter 26. The story is the same, overall, but it has been touched up a bit. I hope my readers are happy with the changes. I know I am happier with this version, though the previous one was mostly fine.

The big changes include an attempt to keep the story mostly in the present tense and correcting the formula for Body Cultivation bonuses, which now cover Str|Agi|Con. The formula is now included when there is a breakthrough in body cultivation and in the stats page.

Thank you for reading!

I just realized that with her body cultivation, her strength and agility should also be getting modified. Therefore, I am going to be going back and making some modifications to fix this mistake. It will probably come at the same time I post the next few chapters.

Body Cultivation will affect Strength, Agility, and Constitution using the same formula. I just need to determine that formula. Using it on Con alone, the current one was fine. Increasing three stats at a time, that would be too much even in Wuxia stories, IMO.

The current formula based on the calculation of rank plus one plus body cultivation level. That sum is then multiplied by the base stat (Constitution). Apprentice 3 = 6, while Titanium = 4. Therefore, 6+1=7. 7+4=11. 11x15=165

I'm considering modifying the existing formula as follows: ((Rank+BC)/2)*Stat with a modifier to BC where levels 1 through 3 are straight, 4 thru 6 are times 2, 7 thru 9 are tripled, and ten is squared (rounded down). Currently, that would be ((6+8)/2)*x.
Strength:(20)140
Agility:(18)126
Constitution:(15)105
If nothing else but her BC increased then her stats would be as follows for BC7, and BC10
Str 260(BC7) 1060(BC10)
Agi 234(BC7) 954(BC10)
Con 195(BC7) 795(BC10)
Keep in mind that at Body Like Diamond the person is a demigod.

I'll consider any recommendations, but will not promise to use them. Thanks!

Two minor errors were pointed out to me by Conradca.

Thanks to all my readers and Happy Holidays!

Thanks going out to clares_dad for letting me know I goofed with a 300cm deep hole. That should have been 300mm or 30cm, not nearly 10 feet! Also, thanks to bdwight1 for noticing and informing me that I had Ki Jung engaging in Shibari when she wrapped them up in "clean ropes!" Both chapters (28 and 30) are in the queue to be updated.

If you find an inconsistency or error, please let me know. I do check them out and make corrections where required. If it isn't a mistake, I'll explain why it isn't a mistake.

Have a great weekend everyone!
