Versatile: Alternate World Chapter 78
Advertisement
Teruyama's gear is all around level 20 and those are what featured in the online shop. The others are clearly still wearing what the starter equipment they had after entering the game which means they are easy pickings. I am not a professional in terms of doing PK before since I was the one being killed all the time by them. However, in exchange for that painful experience, I learned the trade of doing the right way so that you can benefit from PK a lot. Of course, I don't have to resort to doing something like that just to raise my level. I just need to go in a dungeon and clear it rather than doing some killing on other players.
One of the things that I learned to push the player's level back to level 0 is to revive the player and kill them again. Repeat the process and they will eventually fall to level 0. Many PK players will invite a Cleric to their party to revive the target before the main damage dealer will deal with another big damage before the player can react and dies again.
Many players started to complain about this system and it got fixed a year later. However, since that is not yet fixed in this timeline, then I will let them taste the painful karma that I have built up in the past timeline. I am not some saint that will forget what they have done to me even though the current them are innocent.
Since they were still in the streets while I am still on the rooftops, they have yet to notice my presence stalking to them. They were happily chatting with each other. I can't hear them properly but I am assuming that they are going to accept a quest in town to get some killing done.
Around 3 minutes later, they have accepted a quest from the local meat seller to collect a bunch of Buffalung Meat which is a level 15 monster in the neutral area. Players are not that many here since most of the players are challenging the dungeon of Lesser Purgatory due to the free entry given out by my reward. These guys are beginners so I presume they are still trying to learn the ropes of playing the game.

When they left the Capital, I followed them silently while keeping my distance from them. After arriving, they started to hunt the Buffalung which are neutral monsters and will attack only if attacked by players. Their movements are too noobish and quite weak. It took them a few minutes to defeat one of the Buffalung that can be defeated with a few slashes or shots. I waited for them to finish their hunt before I pull out my Versatile Weapon and transform it into a bow.
They are still discussing their drops and loot while I immediately opened the skill panel for the Hunter Class and purchased the skill [Trueshot- Head] and [Trueshot-Leg].
[Trueshot – Head]
2nd Tier
Mana Cost - 100 MP
Cooldown: 30 seconds
Description: Releases a homing arrow into the target. Arrow will always hit the head of the target and deals a heavy amount of true damage depending on the range. The further the target is, the higher the damage, but it will lower the hit rate of the arrow and has a chance of missing. Has a 70% chance of reducing 50% armor defense of the target and induce a 5-second stun.
Note: This can also be used to sent cheat answers to your seatmate so that your professor won't notice during exams. Of course, your seatmate will suffer a head bleeding wound first which in turn will catch your professor's attention. Still better than nothing.
[Trueshot – Leg]
2nd Tier
Mana Cost – 100 MP
Cooldown: 30 seconds
Description: Releases a homing arrow into the target. The arrow will always hit the leg of the target and stuns the target. Will immediately inflict a 10-second debuff [Movement Nullification] which renders the target's movements. It also has a 30% chance to inflict [Bleed] to the target.
Note: Useful enough during marathons especially if you are about to be overtaken by enemies. Of course, if you do so, you are automatically disqualified.
These two skills are enough for me to disable them to the extent. They are still lower level so the [Trueshot – Head] will immediately kill them. The [Trueshot – Leg] is just a backup in case someone wanted to escape and leave their teammates. After all, I can't let them leave alive.

Concealing myself, I climb the nearby tree with a very clear vantage point to them and test the bow. With the bow in perfect state, I pull the string of the arrow and aim it to the first guy nearest to me. In just a matter of seconds, the bow materialized an arrow and appeared. Without hesitation, I used the [Trueshot – Head]. Aim, nock, fire!
SU!
The player that I targeted first was their Cleric. And since Clerics has the lowest defense out of all the players in their group who are composed of a Swordsman, Assassin, Paladin, and Cleric. The cleric died and will revive again for 5 minutes in the Cathedral if left alone. 5 minutes is enough for me to disable all of them.
Since the [Trueshot – Head] has a 30-second cooldown, I have to wait a little bit. On the other hand, Teruyama and his remaining allies were surprised.
"What the hell? Sat-chin is down!" the Paladin shouted.
"Somebody is attacking us! It's a player performing a PK! We have to be alert! The enemy must be nearby!" Teruyama who is the Swordsman on their group said, reassuring his teammates.
"Who shot us? I don't see any enemy in the vicinity!" the Paladin trembled despite being the tank.
"Let me check the bushes and trees, I can conceal myself and avoid the enemy attacks due to my class," the assassin said.
Indeed, Assassins are capable of doing that but not for me. I am quite familiar with Assassin's class because I usually deal with them before and I already mastered how to counter them easily. [Shadow Concealment], an Assassin and Ninja skill is needed to be channeled with 30-second chants first to use. This skill will allow the user to disappear insight from the enemy and will be immune to damage during the first attacks. It will reset it's concealment effect once the user attacks.
He was still channeling the skill, and of course, I don't think I will allow him to do that. I aim, nock, and fire! Since the other skill is still in cooldown, the leg one should do the trick to him. The assassin was immediately inflicted with [Stun] and [ Movement Nullification]. And before he can recover, I shoot out 5 arrows consecutively to his chest, causing him to fall and die.
This time, the group fell into a panic. The cooldown of my skill was over already and before they can run away, I shot again and this time, killed the Paladin in one shot once more. The only guy left is Teruyama and he is too scared to move. After all, this isn't similar to video games where you can just watch your character die. You are now directly involved in your character so whatever happened to your character, whether they bleed or got poisoned, the players controlling them will feel it and experience the agony that their characters feel.
Teruyama was scared but he didn't want to die just yet. Since the players who have died from PK will drop their equipment after death, Teruyama stuffed them all into his inventory and started to escape. But who said he can escape?
SU!
And Teruyama fell, dropping the equipment of his teammates. I grinned seeing their dead bodies on the ground. And if they think they can survive, then that is where they are wrong. The punishment game has only just begun.
"Let me have some fun with you guys, shall we?"

Keys of the Endpoint
Keys of the Endpoint is an illustrated web serial about the re-birth of civilization in a fantastical world suffering from a recent apocalyptic event. Every day, people appear from the storms that ravage the Endpoint. Whisked away from their own time and place by storms in their homelands, these newcomers find themselves in a hostile place made up of ruins and people from every timeline imaginable. Stranger still, they all soon discover they're carrying silver keys that grant each holder incredible powers. On Earth, most people have mundane excuses for the disappearances, but not Isaac. Having lost his brother Finn to one of these storms, Isaac becomes obsessed with finding a pattern. Not to prevent more people disappearing, but rather to get taken by the storms himself in order to find his brother. While chasing Finn’s faint trail, Isaac soon discovers how little he really knew about himself, his brother and how much loss one person can take. In Keys of the Endpoint there's portal fantasy, personal drama, magic (useable by everyone), plenty of combat, power progression, mysteries, factions, feuds and eventually war (in that order). The magic system is well defined and modular with nigh infinite combinations. The story starts out with one of the two main characters looking for his lost brother but quickly expands in scope from that point on.

Den of Vipers
The Year is XXXX, and a deep, heavy fog sets in all over not just the planet, but the whole of the universe, sending all within into a deep, deep sleep. When they awake, all has changed, and both for the better and the worse. Everything has changed, from the new, impossibly massive planet that all now occupy to the terrain to the very rules of reality themselves. But what has changed the most are the people.

With the survivors rewarded for each altered former human they kill, along with each heroic (and villainous) act that they engage in, those who have changed are forced to run, hide, and try to fight back. But in a distant place, a single altered person stirs from her sleep as the Fog fades. With no Humans for hundreds of miles and a [Quest] that all other Altered share guiding her newly inhuman mind, the newly born serpentine but humanoid monster will have to fight for survival and dominance in a world hellbent on her death, with that violent, pathological hate coming not just from the remaining Humans.
