Noob Player Chapter 23

Shen immediately checked his inventory and was relieved to see the spear did not drop, "Ah, it does not matter even my item dropped, I can retrieve it back since no one around."
He then realized that he was the only person in this area. No NPC and no other players, he was alone in this remote village.
"But how is that possible…" he muttered in a low voice, "Is it another bug?"
Since he experienced the bug from the start of the game, he could not but think so each time he encountered a bizarre encounter, "There's no way, one bug is understandable, but more than one?"
Shen shook his head. This was Sky he was talking about, billions worth corporation. They would not tolerate such a thing to happen to their main product.
"Let's try it again then, maybe it's a boss?" He mumbled as he made his way toward the exit.
Shen exited the village, in the same fashion as before. He ran out of the gate, thinking the beforehand encounter was not normal.
Twenty seconds passed, and he was resurrected again. He died again right after stepping out of the village. His eyes widened wide as his eyeballs almost popped out.
He just could not believe that he died again. While dozing off, he walked out of the village once again. He learned his lesson, he walked slowly and cautiously.
The village he was in was located in the middle of the forest. It was surrounded by tall trees, grassy land, bushes, and more.
Shen went in the same direction, going straight ahead. He walked stealthily so as not to alert the monster that killed him before.
His ears perked up in alert, trying to listen to the steps. After a short walk, he heard steps ahead of him. He approached the tree ahead of him and peeked out.
He found the monster that had been killing him twice. He was killed in two strikes. Yes, this was what shocked him, he died in two attacks.

The one that killed him was the chicken but not just a normal chicken. It was 1.5 meters tall, it had fifty centimeter long arms, and its beak shone like a blade.
The chicken was pecking the ground, tearing apart the grassy land with its beak.
From his spot, Shen peeked out. The black-feathered chicken had not noticed his arrival yet. He frowned, it turned out the chicken was not only big but strong too.
He thought it was just the size that was abnormal. However, he found out that the chicken was not just a normal mob. He died from two pecks of the beak right into his chest.
That was right, two pecks and he died. That was why he was resurrected with a shocked expression, could not believe what he went through.
"This is the start of the game, the monster should not be that strong…" Shen muttered as he complained.
He then gazed at the top of the chicken. There was a red bar there. It was the chicken's health point. But that was it, he could not get any information about the chicken unless he landed an attack on it.
"Let's try again, I was too careless before…" Shen muttered in a low voice. He believed that early mobsters should not be that strong.
He stepped out of his hiding spot. It was just one step and the chicken was fifteen meters away from him, but it immediately turned its head toward him.
"I haven't used my spear and my skill before, this time I will kill you!!!" With the [Gift Spear] in his hand, Shen activated [Void Step].
The chicken did not care about what he said as it charged toward him as soon as it spotted him.
Shen also ran toward the chicken, but he miscalculated something. The skill, he was not used with the sudden fifty percent boost of speed.
"Oh, f*ck!" He cursed out as he lost control of his speed. He soon crashed against the chicken's chest.

The chicken was surprised too, it took momentarily a step back. Unfortunate for Shen, his reaction was too late. The chicken's hand-like talent grabbed his head.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
With two lightning pecks, his head was burst out open.
Shen resurrected back to the village, he was smiling wryly. He did not expect that the burst movement would work like that, "Dang, this game is too real…"
A skill that should become his advantage killed him. But he found out one thing, he had a chance against the chicken.
He walked out of the respawn spot while checking his stamina. Since he was resurrected, his stamina went back full.
"Let's get used to the skill first…" he activated the [Void Step] and ran around the village. He then discovered that [Void Step] only increased his speed at the initial burst. It did not increase his speed consistently. His speed would be slowing down to normal if he kept running.
However, Shen found the trick he could use to increase his speed consistently. He just needed to stop right before the duration [Void Step] and run again. By doing this, he got two times the burst movement.
"It's a bit tricky, I need to stop at the right moment…" he muttered in a low voice.
He was currently resting to recover his Stamina. It took him nine tries to get used to the skill.
He laid down in front of Yosu's house, facing the sky. The sky had turned dark yellow, the night was about to come. He checked his stamina, 5/100.
Shen was aware that went out in his condition was the same as suicide. He had died many times already. Dying because he ran out of stamina was silly.
He rested for five minutes, his stamina returned to 45. He did not want to go out with just 45 stamina. So he intended to wait until he fully recovered.
Shen got up, he looked toward the house next to Yosu's house. The house with spears crossed each other's symbols, "Does someone like Yosu stay inside?"
He was curious and headed toward the house. Just as he was about to enter the house, he heard a voice in his head, "Don't be greedy, Young'un! You have inherited Yosu's Legacy, why do you still want to get mine too?"
There was a cold female voice that entered his ears. Shen was shocked and immediately turned around. He scanned the surroundings, but he saw no one.
He felt that the voice was coming from behind, he was sure about that. Soon he felt a chill on his spine, and he immediately backed down from the house.
The owner seemed not to welcome him even though he did not eye anything inside. He was just curious what was inside, wondering whether there was another stone statue.
"No, the voice should be real, and it might be a similar stone statue…" Soon he realized something. Each house presented a class, and only the classless or someone who had inherited the legacy could enter the house.
Trying to prove his conjecture, he went to Yosu's house. There was no voice or anything that tried to prevent him. He then moved to another house, the house across from Yosu's house.
It was the house with a hammer and an anvil as the symbol. This time, he heard a man's voice, rough and old. It was about the same, he was not allowed to enter the house.
"I see…" He finally realized that he was in a hidden village where Legendary Classes gathered, "What if I sell this information to the rich dudes? I can get rich by selling the information…"

At The Precipice
Defenseless. Scared. Alone. That describes the life of Brock Carter as of late. Following his ‘death’ at the hands of a vicious magpie, Brock is rescued by the machinations of the newly instated, all-powerful System and thrust knee-deep into a brutal world catered only to the strong. Fluctuating between two states of being and trapped within a city ravaged by time, he is told to either seek out the mysterious ‘Source’, or die trying. He just hopes he can do it without scuffing his expensive suit in the process. ***** Honestly, I've just always wanted to write a story. I had a crack at it a few years back, but the entire thing fell apart before it even began. At The Precipice was originally written as a way for me to destress and play with System elements and characters, but eventually I decided that if I was gonna write, why not post it too? Writing's just a hobby of mine, so don't expect this to be at published novel level, I guess, or even anything of relative polish. Updates every Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri Average chapter length is 2000 - 3000 words ***** What to expect: - A semi-comedic/light tone, mixed in with a gritty world and brutal survival (not ever grimdark though) - An MC that thinks about what he's going to do and why he'll do it, even if his internal logic is lacking. Is a rather rational person, not often influenced by his emotions, but can be in extreme situations. - A plot heavily focused upon the MC, but one that will branch off to envelope the other characters in the world at times. Often, it's just other people's perspectives of him. - A story of power growth. While the MC is certainly going to be powerful, even over 100 chapters in from what I've written, he still isn't the strongest being on Earth, let alone the entire Multiverse. - Lots of gore, vivid fight descriptions, and often times deaths of people, some even somewhat important to the story ***** Things this story will never have: - Harems - An edgy, villainous MC - An MC that does jackshit about things for 'plot reasons'

Dear Spellbook (Rewrite)
Live. Study. Repeat. Tal never saw himself as an adventurer, but the call to adventure never much cared for his opinion. Despite his best efforts, his search for answers on the murder of his parents ever draws him into danger. Accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors, thus far Tal has gotten by on his own meager magical talents, but when one day he wakes up to find himself back in his bed of the night before, he is faced with a challenge he must conquer alone. What to expect: This story was born of an attempt to create in world lore reasons for many of the mechanics and tropes of D&D, but you do not need to know of them to enjoy the story. It's a single POV time loop story with slow paced progression fantasy elements. The story is not one of fast-paced power ups and non-stop action, but as it progresses, the action picks up. There is a lot of magic system exploration on a system built to unify the diverse magic of D&D into one cohesive magic system. The setting is an original world with familiar races and monsters but with new unique origins and motivations. The average chapter will be 2-5k words long, most being around 3k but there are a few less than 1k, due to the nature of the story telling device I used. Book 1 is complete. Posting is on hold until I finish book 2. Book 2 progress: The rough draft is done at 141656 words as of 7/9/2022. I need to reread and edit it but Im aiming for resuming chapters in September.
