Been holding this chapter for a while, because I wanted to get a chapter of VRMMO out.
This chapter was a bear to edit. It's freakin' huge. 12,000 words. Seriously.
As a bonus, because of the delay, I've upgraded the status tables to nice, easy to read, colored ones with fancy rounded edges.
After figuring out that Windows 10's stupid auto-correct was the cause of the editor slowdown that was keeping me from editing the chapter, I finally was able to mess around with the table stuff and figure out how to add the changes without blogger blowing up my table html when switching between the "compose" editor and the html editor.
Now, if only I could get blogger to stop adding in stupid font formatting stuff every time I cut and paste...
Here's the chapter link: Chapter 8.
Just a heads up for current readers, I've decided to change to the (future) story timeline to condense some future events, and was able to cut a year off the story. So, the current age of most of the characters will be raised by one year. Raithe will go from 9 at the start to 10, for example. I'll be going back and ninja editing this chapter and the previous chapters as I have time.
At this point, the change doesn't really effect anything more than me just changing the numbers where I see them and reworking some of the Adventurer's Guild age requirements talked about in book 2 (which hasn't been introduced yet). In other words, if Raithe or one of his buddies are suddenly one year older than you remember, don't worry, you didn't miss anything.

VRMMO Summoner Hajimemashita Chapter 43 posted
Well... that took longer than expected...
I sure hope this flu + bronchitis + flu + bronchitis cycle isn't going to become a yearly thing. That's two years in a row that it has taken me out at the beginning of the year, and just when I start getting caught up, it hits again. I think I'm safe now that winter is over, but I might be just in time for allergy season...
If I could translate from my tablet instead of my computer, then this chapter would have been out ages ago. On the positive side, I got a ton of creative writing done.
Anyway, chapter 43 can be found here. In this chapter, we resume with Yuu meeting the Spirit at a fountain in the special fairy zone.
Thanks to Nanaseru for translation check and editing. This chapter was sponsored by RooiSlangWTF. Thanks, man.

VRMMO Summoner Hajimemashita - Chapter 42 posted
Here's chapter 42 of VRMMO.
Decided to take a few days to look over this again and fix some problems with a few difficult and confusing sentences. Huge thanks go to Nanaseru for translation checking and editing even though he is really busy with work right now.
I'd like to thank this chapter's sponsors, TNarg and RooiSlangWTF. I wanted to get this chapter out to you guys faster. Sorry.
By the way, you all can find the artwork from volume 2 of the light novel at bookwalker.jp. It's a bit spoilery, so you may want to check this link after reading the chapter. Clicking on the image of the book cover will let you read the first few pages and view the artwork of Ren, Ria, Fia, and Elle as well. You can support the author by buying the book.
Also, there was a comment on the previous post complaining about my translation speed. While I would like to be able to translate faster, I am not fluent in Japanese and rely heavily on dictionaries. So, it takes a lot of time to translate the text line by line, word by word. With other things going on in life, oftentimes other things take priority. (And procrastination certainly doesn't help, either.)
If someone else wants to pick up this series, and can do a decent job of it, they are certainly welcome. I, too, would like to read it more quickly. Just do me the curtesy of contacting me to let me know, so I don't waste my effort.
I'm sure some of you aren't thrilled that I've been spending time working on my original writing, but that has the possibility of paying the bills someday, something that translating VRMMO never will (and shouldn't). It takes one day per week out of the translation schedule to edit the Aetheria chapters and do the layout for posting, this is time that I need to spend on my book to prepare it for publication anyway. I would certainly appreciate readers pointing out remaining typos and providing feedback to assist with the process.

Aetheria - Chapter 6 posted
Here's chapter 6 for Aetheria.
Ah... how to describe this chapter... well, the title is a bit of a joke on my part, and there are some plot revelations, including some insight into Alisha's behavior abnormalities. And our main character is rather more awkward than expected... or something like that.
VRMMO should be ready some time tonight if I don't run out of steam before getting it posted.

Aetheria - Chapter 5 posted
Apologies for the unannounced hiatus. Let's just pretend that the plans from the previous post never happened... *laughs nervously and looks to the side*
On the VRMMO front, the 'other good news' project that I mentioned two posts back was completed, so there should be an announcement on that probably in the next post or so.
Now that we're back to our regularly scheduled programing, the next VRMMO chapter has been translated and is just awaiting translation checking, editing, and layout. So that should be out soon. I won't say anything about the chapter after that since prior posts have shown that to definitely be bad luck...
And so with all of that housekeeping out of the way... here's chapter 5 of Aetheria.
In this chapter Alisha finally gets to show off, and... well you'll have to see for yourselves. And, let's just say that this is just the tip of the iceberg compared to the WTF-level crazy that she shows in books 2 and 4... so, enjoy.

Aetheria - Chapter 4 posted
Other than being busy of late, things have been going pretty great, so I was just thinking the other day how great it's been that I didn't get sick when the kids started their new school year... haha ha ha haha ha ha, by the way, food poisoning really sucks... really. And I definitely don't recommend it.
Anyways... I've cleared this entire weekend and most of next week for translating VRMMO, so I'm hoping to knock out as many chapters as I can in a row.
In the meantime, for your entertainment, here's another chapter from my series Aetheria. Chapter 4 can be found here.
In this chapter, Alisha amuses herself by giving Raithe a tour of the basement... there may be dungeons and magic involved... but I'm not saying.

Aetheria Chapter 3 posted
No VRMMO chapter this week since I was busier than expected.
It's a little later than planned, but I've posted this week's Aetheria chapter here.
This week's Aetheria chapter introduces Alisha, who is quite the messed up character. The true extent of just how messed up she is isn't revealed until just over mid-way through book 2, but our main character will get a taste of it in the upcoming chapters. So, look forward to next week.
