Alright! In line with my new initiative to roll updates out every few days instead of once a week, we have our next story update for June! Specifically in the form of 10,600 words of this month's poll winner, Stripper With a System! This, of course, is only half of the total for the story this month, with its second half aimed to come out around the 20th.

As a side note, I've also decided on the Author's Choice story for this month, which is what I'm currently working on. It will be updates of A Very Confused Pokémon Adventure this time! I've already got the Displaced Hero update for the 8th finished (Well, it still needs an editing pass, but it's written at least), so I'm fairly solidly ahead of the update cycle. Doubly so since the Extra for the month is also mostly done, save for some editing. Currently, I'm about 4,000 words in Pokemon Adventure as well, with at least another 2-3k I plan to knock out today. So, so far, so good :-).

The Momo and Kara images for this post are ones I've already used in the past for them. But I found an AI creation by someone on DeviantArt that will do for Rylia, at least for now. In truth, it's not quite right, as I've consistently described Rylia as unusually busty for an Asari Maiden. But, until I get a chance to do either some AI prompts of my own, or outright try and draw an Asari, it will do. Who knows, that might be the Extra in a future month, if I go the draw-it-myself route ;-).

Anyway! Enjoy the latest addition to Stripper With a System! As usual, the new stuff is attached here. Please remember that I won't be updating the pinned Master Files for these stories until their second updates in the month, just to limit how confusing things get on my end! So until then, the new stuff can only be found here!

P.S. Completely unrelated to the story or this Patreon, so I'm only going to mention this once! If any of you are enjoyers of NSFW Visual Novels, I released Left Hand Magic on Steam back on the 29th. This Patreon actually started as an offshoot of the one for my game development, as I originally started writing Mass Effect: Final Error as an extra for that Patreon. Which sort of explains why it's far more smutty then my other fanfic works :-p. Anyway, forgive my shameless shilling just this once, please ;-).

Chapter 15 A/N 1: Miranda joins the company! Even if we won't see much of her directly for a while, I wanted to get it established that Rylia totally poached her before she could end up with Cerberus ;-). A/N 2: I once knew a fellow who would make INCREDIBLY complex macros and keybinds just so he could be lazy in the future. Despite the fact it meant putting in insane amounts of up-front work. Past Rylia's deciding to master precise biotic control for laziness reasons was inspired by him :-p.

Curses an update right as I'm stretching for my shift!!! Wait here, I'll be back 🫵🏼 Alright, surprised that MC finally got her mom in the picture, even more surprised that said mom gonna be making some moves of her own. That plus the threesome moving in the SB means things are starting to heat up, slowly but surely.

Chapter 16 A/N 1: So, I struggled more than a little with the stuff related to Rylia's mother. Unfortunately, I HAD already established that said mother was alive and implied they were on good terms. So it WAS something I needed to tackle sooner or later. Hopefully, I did a decent job of it, and at least I found legitimate ways to make it/her useful to the story going forward, rather than JUST causing some distress for Rylia. As an older and successful Matron, Telefia had connections. Not as many as a Matriarch would, but they just happen to be in fields that might be critical for Rylia's plans in the future...while also having that provide background as to why Rylia was an engineering prodigy. If a lazy and unmotivated one.

Chapter 17 A/N 1: A better source of stuff to sell to the System store! This was planned for a while, as the knowledge Rylia is going to need for the Omniversal Market is going to get increasingly costly as she ramps up. A/N 2: I'm going to be upfront here and admit I know almost nothing about ALS, which is why I didn't go into any sort of detail. I literally went to the MAYO clinic database and looked for Nervous System Diseases which no one really knows the cause of. I figured that was the best way to find a nerve-related disease that even a future version of humanity might not have a CURE for yet. Though I did give them credit for having at least figured out the CAUSE and come up with treatments by the point the story starts. A/N 3: Yes, they are planning to do the stereotypical thing that inserts do and take over the Shadowbroker Network. As much as I hate writing clichés, the truth is that it just makes too much SENSE to avoid it purely out of dislike for writing such. On that note, there will likely be a poll soon for who they summon to run the network! That's a position they will 100% want the guarantee of someone from the Marketplace for, rather than recruiting within ME...

Thanks for continuing. Unfortunately, the Left Hand Magic is not sold in Russia. :(I repeat the message from chapter 14. I read the whole story again. It was interesting, but there are two points that I would like to mention. First: I seriously miss the POV from the other characters. I had a scene of the classic Citadel council in my head when I read about the advertisement for the 3rd toy created in the image of a Prothean trap. Secondly, we need more descriptions of her inventions in the field of entertainment, as well as her stream channels :) And written not so much from her side, but from the audience... and for example, human experts listening to her analysis of culture and technology, while trying from time to time to fend off jokes and claims that they watch porn in the workplace :)

Daemonioros

Really agree with other perspectives being a great idea. Would for example really enjoy a shepard point of view with him/her watching Rylia's educational videos and getting teased for watching a porn actress by others (believe Sheppard would be about 14 now). And yeah a council perpective. Or even some Asari matriarchs would be great. Perhaps the new medical treatments could be a hook into her getting discussed?

Daemonioros

One thing I am curious about is where is Orianna at this point? Is she living with Miranda? Or did they find an adoptive family for her?

Novus's Fanfiction Works

She's living with Miranda. Well, Miranda and a caretaker Rylia and Momo hired for Miranda. They aren't going to separate the sisters, but they aren't leaving a kid purely in the hands of an eighteen year old either.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Technically it was...for a few days. Then someone in Russia apparently decided something about it didn't comply with the local laws and Steam removed it. I have no idea what it didn't comply with (they didn't include that information), so I can't fix it. I'll consider adding more perspectives :-). To some extent, though, doing so will make the story slow down...and there is a good 10+ years to cover before we even reach Mass Effect 1.

The Foreign Traveler

…only a couple edits in this one! Edit 1: …sold it too as “scarp metals”… …sold it too as “scrap metal”…(?) Edit 2: Overall, most travel times would average out to about the same, “excepting” only where you would otherwise be making only single jumps between systems that both had Relays.

Motoko Kusanagi would make for a fantastic Shadow broker. Especially if she also gets to lead a special forces team. You'd need to find a way to hide her borg body though. With how weary the council is of cybernetics.

Евгений Казанин

I subscribed for $10 on the your second channel. Am I correct in understanding that Left Hand Magic - Build 34 is not the final version?

Novus's Fanfiction Works

A good idea. I'm actually compiling a list of possibilities. Barbara Gordon, a version of her that has been Orcale, is another. Mastui from Sekierei is one I'm considering but might not back the list (she's an over the top pervert, which could sent the fic spiraling a bit too much toward pure smut :-p). Straight up Batman (probably one of the older ones) is also a possibility, as I'm technically not limiting things to cute girls... Eh, still working on a list, but Motoko is a great suggestion, thanks!

White Neko Knight

Mastui is a character i haven't thought about in a very long time. She could work as a sub character that doesn't get as much screen time, if you're worried about to much smut. Amusingly one of the reasons I suggested Motoko is because she's a lesbian who canonically has 2 partners. They don't show it much in the anime but it's in the manga. She'd have a lot of fun in this universe. Especially as she's one of the best hackers in that world. Love Orcale as the shadow broker as well. Bat man could be iffy, but also very helpful depending on the one they get.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Евгений Казанин Check your direct messages. There should be one from the other Patreon :-). I had a workaround for a few people without Steam...

Ryu

Thank for the great chapters, if you are taking suggestions about the Shadow Broker, i would recommend Futaba from Persona 5, she is a great hacker and a genius, an aged up version who maybe developed her talents in hacking even more and who followed her mother as a scientist?

Евгений Казанин

Oracle or Trinity - Matrix, Nico Robin - One Piece, Matsu (bird №3) - Sekirei, Leliana - Dragon Age, V - Cyberpunk 2077.

White Neko Knight

Corpo V. Not sure the other life paths would have the skill set needed to be an Information broker.

Ryu

Don't worry, it's okay :)

Kayden High

I believe investing in maybe full immersion VR would be a good way to generate even more money, and of course porn for VR lol.

Keht Jelicho

I had a random thought (likely because I am reading other ME fics, and one is a Talimance, though this specific subject hasn't come up in it), but is there any chance that you could have Rylia intervene (even if unintentionally/it doesn't get revealed for a long while) such that Tali's mom survives? Rylia is starting a medical R&D company, and Tali's mom died to a virus. Rylia making medical supplies that can work for quarians (she bought up indenture contracts on some didn't she?) wouldn't be a stretch. She seems very intentional in looking out for the care of her employees. Having a quarian finishing their contract and bringing medical equipment back and/or approaching Rylia to set up a trade deal or open a supply channel for medical aid for the Migrant Fleet as their pilgrimage gift would also seem appropriate/realistic. And if it is a completely unintentional effect that Rylia is then indirectly responsible for Tali's mother surviving, well that seems like a possible justification for a bit of a Karma Point windfall. Even more if Tali's mom was only one of multiple quarians who catch the virus and because of Rylia's aid many of them are end up pulling through. Or, y'know, just cyberpunk/other source a medical implant and/or nanomachine artificial immune system from the market place (particularly if it can be adapted for more than just curing/fixing the Quarians) and remove the need for Quarians being in suits in the entirety.

Thanks for the interesting and fun story so far 😸! I was wondering about what the RT-1 labor droids look like 🤔? It would be nice with some pictures of these new droid designs and also of other things they build and develop, like the different blasters, and what else they come up with 😁! Thanks again for your great work on this greatly interesting story of yours 😁! I hope to be reading much more!
