《Pantheon Online 》Chapter 24: Butting In!
Advertisement
Colt steadily decimated any isolated wolves that he could find. As he got used to how the wolves could react, he eventually reached the point where it became rare that they managed to injure him. He had used Minor Blessing on himself at one point and had only received two points of damage since then. Colt delivered the final blow to the battered Divine Wolf Pup (Runt) in front of him.
[Milestone Reached… Milestone Updated]
[Wolf Slayer: 10/20]
[You have received +1 Stat Point]
Colt grinned at the notification as he collected the Wolf Fang drop as the Wolf Fur disappeared yet again. So far, he had collected six Wolf Fangs, including this one. The drops were not guaranteed, and two wolves had not dropped anything at all.
Colt opened the interface to look at his stat allocations. Without any hesitation, he sunk his free point into Strength. Colt suddenly felt as if his body had become stronger, but he knew that it was just how the game was programmed to be.
'Do I keep grinding? Or should I head back to Valheim?' Colt was growing concerned because he had noticed that neither his HP nor DP regenerated over time, even here in the Divine Realm. That was bound to become a problem later on, so he hoped that the city had to be hiding a method to recover.
Finding that method as soon as possible would be important. However, Valheim was ridiculously large, and it would take him too long to find it on his own. 'Forget it.' Colt sighed as he glanced around. 'It would be a shame to waste my head start looking for something that might not exist.'
Just as he was eyeing up the wolf packs to find his next victim, he heard the sound of voices. Colt grinned because he knew what this meant due to the distinct lack of NPC's. 'Players!'

Colt decided to take a break from his solo hunt and check out how these other players were doing. From the sound of their voices, they were just over one of the nearby hills.
Colt jogged over while carefully avoiding the aggro range of any packs that were in his way. Once the new players came into view, Colt's jaw went slack in shock.
Five players were fighting it out against each other while defending against two different wolf packs. Colt took a moment to watch the fight and try to understand what was going on. These players should have arrived just recently, so how did they manage to get into a fight already?
"Beans! Behind you!" The player called DonnaThaGreat shouted as she blocked a punch aimed for her face!
BeansNtoasT spun on her heel to deliver a kick to the side of a wolf's jaw as it pounced at her. The situation on the hill slope was chaotic. Nine wolves were remaining while a group of three ganged up on a party of two.
"Just die already!" The man who had tried to punch Donna shouted as he attempted to grab her.
"Go to hell!" Donna retaliated angrily as she drove her fist into the man's gut.
As he was pushed back by the blow, his teammate threw a knife at Donna while she was distracted. It was clear to Colt that the attack had dealt damage from Donna's reaction, but he still could not understand anything from this short exchange.
"Why don't you guys just go fight somewhere else?" Beans shouted as she prevented another wolf from attacking Donna.
"Hah! Why would we? By the time we kill you that pack, your fighting will be weakened enough to be easy pickings! Plus, don't you know that you can absorb the stats of other players when they die? This is the perfect chance to grab some free points!" The woman in the back of the group of three shouted.

Colt's eyes narrowed when he heard this. None of the five had spotted him yet, but he was really pissed that this group of three were already trying to PK in the game. He had already experienced what it was like to get ambushed in this game, and he disapproved of it while the game was still in its Beta Test.
He was a firm believer in initially working together to get the lay of the land whenever a new game was released. PK'ing was fine if you used it for your streaming channel to keep your viewers entertained. But that was not possible during the Beta.
Before Colt knew what he was doing, his feet had already begun to move on their own. BeansNtoasT had just recovered from punching a wolf when another tried to take a bite of her. She cursed under her breath as she prepared herself to take some damage!
At that point, Colt had arrived on the field of battle without any of the players noticing. He drove forward and uppercut the wolf who was about to bite Beans, forcing its jaws shut prematurely!
Colt sun his axe overhead to strike the wolf in its eye, dealing the final points of damage to its HP. Beans was stunned as she stared at Colt's avatar. For one thing, he was the only player that she had seen that appeared to be fully kitted out. Everyone else that she had seen in Valheim was still wearing the starter rags and maybe one or two pieces of something different.
She had no idea who this guy was, but she would not complain about him helping them. The expressions of the other group became dark when they realised an unknown player had gotten himself involved with their fight. However, seeing his equipment made them drool with greed.
"Help your friend! I'll keep these guys busy!" Colt shouted as he blocked one wolf with his shield and slashed at another.
Beans nodded her head in awe. Colt's movements appeared fluid as if he were used to fighting in games. Beans doubted that she would have been able to stop that joint attack if it were her. 'I better invite him to the Party….'

How to have fun in an apocalypse (Rewrite)
After spending an unsavory amount of time in hell, our protagonist finally manages to escape the place that had kept him captive for so long... again. Unfortunately, even after plotting and planning for years, he ends up in a place not much different from the burning and agonizing Tartarus he once had to call home. Guts, blood, and carnage start to reign over Earth as soon as he set foot in it, much to his dismay. What use is it to cry over spilled milk, though? Tired of the monotony of endless torture, he steps into the world intending to have as much fun as possible. While others might try to raid the Orc Lord with as many people as possible, why not challenge him to an arm-wrestling tournament? The power of friendship will surely be on his side. Why hide from the big, bad wolf in one of your houses if wearing camo in plain sight should have the same effect? Now, making friends and going on adventures would be perfectly fine, if it wasn't for the fact that he hides a few more secrets than one might think at first. This is a complete rewrite! Due to being unsatisfied with the previous version, I have decided to work the story up, beginning from the older chapters! Version 2.0 includes: - enhanced writing and editorial skills - additional information and aspects to characters - minor deviation from storyline and improvements
