I'm sick again, so the final edits on the chapter will be delayed probably until tomorrow evening.

VRMMO Summoner Hajimemashita Chapter 39
You might be wondering how the author will reconcile Yuu's upcoming class-change with the series title. Then again, the title only says that he *started* as a Summoner, so... maybe that's not a problem. Heh.
Any case, here's Yuu's long awaited class-change chapter: Chapter 39. Enjoy.
Thanks go to this month's sponsors, RooiSlangWTF and TNarg, and to Nanaseru for TLC and editing.
I should have two more chapters ready sometime next week, if all goes well.

VRMMO Summoner Hajimemashita Chapter 38 Released
Aaannnddd, here it is: Chapter 38. Enjoy!
This chapter was shorter than usual, so I knocked it out a faster than expected. Thanks go to RooiSlangWTF and TNarg for sponsoring! And to Nanaseru for TLC and editing.
I'm already almost halfway through the next chapter, so next release should be sometime next week.

VRMMO Summoner Hajimemashita Chapter 37 Released
Mwhahahaha! I think I might be on a bit of a roll here. ← Famous last words.
The chapter release can be found here.
Lots of thanks go to Nanaseru who had a lot of extra work with editing and TLC this time around since I rushed this chapter. And to RooiSlangWTF for sponsoring.
Some notes:
I changed Ell to Elle. The 'e' is silent but I think it looks better for a girl's name. And about Elle's speech in this chapter, she ends her sentences with an extra デス, which can be read as 'death' and I had fun trying to add in death references to all of her lines, but considering that this is a fluffy story, I decided that the author probably just intends for her to be affecting a speech pattern that makes her sound like a foreigner. So, I re-did her lines with the extra '-desu' in romaji.
Also, the dialogue in this chapter is difficult to follow without the various sentence endings, so I added notes showing who is speaking. Excepting the summons, who should be obvious enough.
In other news, the translation for the next chapter is already done, so there will likely be another release in a few days.

Secret project news (Not translation related)
I am finally ready to announce the secret project that I've been working on over the last year. It's not a translation, but a fantasy/sci-fi series that I'm writing.
The tentative title for book one is:
The first three books are written and have been going out to beta readers. Book one is in the editing process and being prepared for publishing as an e-book. I'm also hoping to start posting chapters here at a pace of two per week starting in September.
For those interested, here's the rough draft for the book's blurb:
"Having awakened as a spirit in the World of the Fae without any memory of his past, Raithe is convinced by the Queen of the Fae to possess the body of a dying half-demon boy. Rescued and adopted by an elite adventurer, he begins living in the unfamiliar fantasy world of Aetheria with nagging suspicions about whether the world he is experiencing is an illusion or reality."
The series will probably be enjoyable for fans of Japanese light-novels and other fantasy literature who tend to like crafting-type stories. The chapters average about 6000 to 9000 words, and unfortunately, the writing might be too difficult for ESL readers. The series does share many of the themes and tropes with light-novels, but it is coincidental and not an attempt at imitation. The story actually grew out of efforts to flesh-out the world for a game idea that I had a few years back, and in the process, it gained a life of its own.
I'll be posting more information as I get closer to making the first book available for purchasing.

VRMMO Summoner Hajimemashita Chapter 36 Released
Today's VRMMO chapter is a bulletin-board-style side-chapter and can be found here.
This release is sponsored by RooiSlangWTF. I'd like to extend a huge thanks for the site's first donation! But I also need to apologize for not noticing it sooner (apparently e-mail notification was turned off), so I intend to apply the donation to the next chapter as well. Which means, I'm going to set a goal for getting chapter 37 out by Wednesday next week.
Thanks goes to Nanaseru for TLC and editing.
