The Great Thief Chapter 318
Blood Dagger could only close this gap with his skill. He had excellent technique with his dagger and his
normal attacks would deal almost the maximum amount of damage.
When he wasn’t affected by crowd-control, he would block Water Fairy as often as he could.
Blocking was the most common way to fight a Thief. There was no use of skills; it only required reaction
speed and coordination. Successful blocks could significantly reduce the opponent’s Skill Completion. A
fight between high-level thieves basically came down to how well one could block.
Blood Dagger was doing very well in that regard.
Unfortunately, the difference created due to the skills and equipment was just too much. His playstyle
was also too aggressive, which prevented him from making a proper comeback. He didn’t have Wood
Fearing’s finesse nor did he have Lu Li or Floral Paralysis’ aggression.
As a result, his HP was rapidly dropping.
A white glow appeared at Water Fairy’s feet; he had 0% HP left and the match was over.
In the individual round, Water Fairy had defeated Blood Dagger.
Of the seven great thieves and Lu Li, they had all faced each other at least once. Not one of them was
obviously better than the rest, with each of them having their own wins and losses.
For example, Water Fairy had defeated Blood Dagger, but she had lost at the hands of Wood Fearing.
However, Wood Fearing had also once said in an interview that he was most afraid of Blood Dagger.
In the group rounds, it was Drizzle Court against Glory Capital.
Drizzle Court had a long history of being a famous, but relatively weak guild.
They were famous because their members were all girls and most of them were quite beautiful. As long
as there were men in this world, there would definitely be people interested in their guild.

However, due to their female temperament, they faced some disadvantages in this game.
As such, they were always seen a just a bunch of casual girl gamers playing together.
This situation persisted until Water Fairy came along. This mysterious tycoon had started gaming at 15
and later joined Drizzle Court, helping them grow into a large guild. When she turned 18, she was
secretly transferred to the club.
But what truly brought Drizzle Court into fame was the expensive Deadly Green Orange.
Deadly Green Orange was once one of the core players of Peacetime Dynasty, but had been picked up
by Drizzle Court for $2.1 million. This set a sensational new record for the highest-paid female player.
The Priest Star Baby was also someone who had been bought by Water Fairy. She was cheaper, as she
was bought from a medium sized guild, but she had an outstanding performance in her first year of
competing. After Water Fairy spread a few rumors, Star Baby didn’t even get to see the end of her
season.
Both teams consisted of Thief, Mage and Priest. The group round of the competition had begun!
Lu Li finally got to see how Deadly Green Orange played. This girl appeared feminine but was relentlessly
strong. The only comparison he could make was that she was the female Sorrowless.
After the match started, it didn’t immediately turn into a one-sided situation. There were six experts on
the field.
After 1 minute and 40 seconds, Water Fairy took initiative and crowd-controlled Sorrowless. Deadly
Green Orange then attacked him with everything she had and quickly dropped him near to 0% HP.
In that moment, the Glory Capital’s White Westhill furiously channeled for 10 uninterrupted seconds to
restore his HP back to 80% with a single skill.
That was over half of his HP!
Lu Li had a headache watching this. Now that they had come this far, everyone seemed to have some

kind of trump card.
Of course, he also had one of his own. He was able to turn into a leopard, which was still a secret to
everyone. He didn’t know what those Imperial Secret Service players were thinking, but he had yet to be
exposed.
After their unsuccessful attack on Sorrowless, Drizzle Court had lost their advantage. Blood Dagger had
been attacking Star Baby whose HP was now down to half. The tides were turning.
Star Baby then cast Soul Shriek to protect herself.
Blood Dagger used his Shadow Cloak to block this skill, while Sorrowless was too far away for it to affect
him.
Most people didn’t think that Glory Capital would win so easily. Within 3 minutes and 10 seconds, they
had killed Drizzle Court’s Priest, laying the foundations of their victory.
Although Water Fairy and Deadly Green Orange had also bursted down White Westhill, it was already
too late. Their HP was far lower than that of Blood Dagger’s and Sorrowless’.
At 3 minutes and 40 seconds, a golden shroud surrounded the stage, declaring Glory Capital the winner
of the match and a finalist of the championship.
The Xin Xin Mercenary Group and Glory Capital were now fighting for the championship, with the loser
taking second place. Drizzle Court would then fight Peerless City to determine the third and fourth
places.
After the match, both sides accepted the interview.
“Drizzle Court just missed out on the finals; is there anything you would like to say?” the reporter asked
Water Fairy first. After all, she was a beauty.
“Our team did really well this season. I’m really happy that we managed to get this far. I believe we’ll be
able to do better next season,” Water Fairy said without hesitation.
Her words weren’t insincere; Drizzle Court hadn’t even made it into the quarterfinals last season.
“If you had entered the finals, you would have had to face the Xin Xin Mercenary Group. Do you think
you could have won?” the reporter asked.
Water Fairy blinked before glancing to the side and saying, “You should probably ask them that
question…”
The reporter’s question had been rejected, but he calmly turned to the Glory Capital players. “
Great Guru Sorrowless, how are you? I haven’t seen you in these circumstances for a while. How do you
think the next match will go?”
“I hope to fight Lu Li in the individual round for a proper showdown,” Blood Dagger said before
Sorrowless could respond.
The reporter was a little surprised. It was rare that someone would directly call out another player like
that. However, after looking at the other players’ calm expressions, the reporter realized that there
must have been an underlying story.
Eager to find out more, the reporter eagerly prompted, “Can you elaborate on why you want that?”
He had initially wanted to refuse to answer the question, but he felt like he didn’t have any way to do
that, so he reluctantly responded, “I’ve lost to Lu Li once and was killed by him.”
“Are you trying to rob me of my opportunity?” Sorrowless laughed. “I’ve been killed by him too…”
The reported jumped in shock.
As a journalist who didn’t play the game, he knew a lot about Lu Li. He knew that Lu Li was an expert
who had come out of nowhere and he knew how Lu Li had an excellent record of achievements.
However, none of these were personal experiences and he simply couldn’t believe some of it.
However, he was absolutely shocked when he heard a direct confession from someone’s mouth.
How could they possibly be making a joke out of this?
There must have been something wrong with his brain; this just couldn’t be true.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.

Daughters of the Void
Emily is a high school student. Too tall and developed for her age. Her will has been broken, so now, she is fearful and insecure. But that, doesn't explain why those around her bully and despise her. Perhaps... it is related to the dark and deep secret that she has inexplicably forgotten? What made her forget it? The strange being, with whom Emily once made a pact, intends to find out what has happened. To do so, will take her to a world terribly different from this one. Why does it take her to another world? Why did Emily forget what makes her different? Why the hell, all of a sudden, can Emily see three floating panels in the middle of the darkness? What is this? A video game with a lush green-eyed redhead as the main character? Daughters of the Void is a story told from multiple points of view, which occur in parallel. As if they were several series in one, where each protagonist advances at their own pace. At first, the story of each character will advance slowly, so I ask you to be patient. Soon, you will discover a story of extreme survival in a medieval fantasy world. A story, a bit dark, that can also be a bit comical at certain moments. But above all, it can be harsh and cruel to its protagonists. I’ve introduced LitRPG elements in a very soft and almost non-existent way at the beginning of the story. As the story progresses, they will become more and more abundant, depending on the protagonist. Emily is the main and first protagonist of "Daughters of the Void". After her; Dianna, Tanya and others. Above all, I’m looking for your immersion, so I will make you aware of most of the thoughts of the protagonists. I also want the reader to feel some uncertainty, putting yourselves in the shoes of some girls who can't find what they lack. I look for realism, but also to surprise myself. Around chapter 25 there is an awakening of the protagonists. Moment in which they will begin to behave as they really want to be. Unrivaled adventurers. Heroines of legend. The secondary protagonists were created to cover some deficiencies that I noticed that the series had when it was only Emily, so their chapters will be more sporadic. Tags and warnings give me creative freedom. This is the first story I've written, although they are not my first drawings. Be kind with your reviews. I know everything can be improved. Also, English is not my native language, neither is my brother's. He’s the one who translates the story. Constructive feedback is always welcome. We learn day by day. Everything helps us to improve the quality of this humble project. Let us know what you think.

Hardcore OP-ness
Most people pray for good health, a loving family, and to win the lottery. I asked “Can you send me to a game-like fantasy-style world? It can't be too unrealistic, but also, it would be nice if I was immortal to some degree. Oh yea, no rape or slavery either, cause then I'll have to spend the whole time trying to create a perfect society, and I'd rather not have to deal with all that nonsense. No other players either, cause that always creates a ton of annoying drama, and I just want to have a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable time.â€Three years later, after I had completely forgotten about all that… well, better late than never I suppose. The moral of this story, is to be careful what you wish for; also, cuteness is justice, so don't complain if adorable bunnies beat you to death and devour your corpse.(Warning: This story includes profanity, numbers, humanity, nudity, uncomfortable realism in a fantasy-world, awkward but mild sexual-content, descriptive violence and gore, nekomimi, necrophilia, bizarre and disturbing sexual-content, offensive language, plus all of the other things that disclaimers usually have to tell you about. Do not read this if you dislike transportation, virtual reality, fantasy, or other similar genres… or me, because I'm the author.)I'm only posting a few chapters on this site, but there are over 100 on my wordpress. https://mike777ac.wordpress.com/hardcore-op-ness/
