Stripper With a System 25-28 (Patreon)

Reminder! The August Story Poll is still running until the 25th, so make sure to get your votes in!

Now, with the usual poll reminder out of the way, it's time for the second Stripper With a System release for July! Almost identical in word count to the first one, weirdly (seriously, the first was 10,097 words, this one 10,095 words), so I firmly hit the goal for the month :-). Things start to jump forward a little bit (small jumps), as Rylia and her crew of summons start struggling a bit to deal with the many, many irons they already have in the fire. Including an issue that's been on the back burner for a while...

This release will be followed up within a day or two by a poll for the next summon, which won't be a political or military expert just yet (they are still 14 years out from ME:1 and honestly in early buildup phase still). Instead, for reasons that will be obvious once you read the chapters, the next Summon will be an explorer/archeologist type. I have a small list of possibilities already, but the only one firmly on the finalized list is Lara Croft, and I usually provide up to five options on the poll. So, if you have a suggestion, feel free to comment with said suggestion! Just don't be offended if I don't pick them, please :-). A lot of the time options that would, in fact, be good ones, are discarded by me more out of unfamiliarity with their source material than because they are a poor choice. It's hard to write characters you have no knowledge of or familiarity with, after all!

For now, enjoy the current release of Stripper With a System! As usual, the new chapters are attached to this post. Since this is the final July update of this story, I will also be updating the Master Files shortly. Also as usual, expect Author's Notes in the comments, once I have a bit of time to actually write them!
