《My Passive Skills are Invincible!》Chapter 12: Learning the Passive Skill, Rebound!
Advertisement
After leaving the village, Mike continued following the instructions of the treasure map to look for the heirloom.
[Walk 100 yards to the left.]
[Walk 75 yards to the right.]
[Walk 60 yards to the left.]
[It's nearby!]
Every time he reached a location, the treasure map would give Mike an order. It was rather convenient to search for the heirloom.
However, after the last order was issued, no other information was provided.
Mike looked around for a while and immediately locked onto a big tree.
It was not that there was anything strange about this big tree, but the soil under the tree was very unnatural.
No vegetation could be seen, there was only smooth soil.
That should be it.
However, Mike did not go to it directly.
The hint given to him by the village chief was still clear in his mind.
There was a wandering black bear nearby. He had to kill the black bear before he could successfully find the heirloom.
This was a fixed plot of the game, so Mike naturally knew about it.
After waiting for dozens of seconds, a huge figure appeared nearby. A wandering black bear!
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was huge.
On its four, this black bear was almost as tall as Mike.
It was about 1.8 meters tall.
If this black bear stood up... it could be described as a colossus.
However, although the wandering black bear gave people a strong sense of oppression, Mike just smiled and raised his sword!
This was only a level 2 to 3 quest.
Even if it was a blue quest, a level 5 Mike with an iron sword would definitely be able to handle it easily.
Mike quickly rushed to the front of the sluggish black bear, raised his iron sword, and slashed down!

[You have attacked the wandering black bear, causing 30 damage!]
[The wandering black bear has triggered the passive skill Rebound, you have received 3 damage!]
Seeing these two messages, Mike was slightly stunned.
It was not surprising that it only caused 20 damage. After all, the defense of the wandering black bear was definitely higher than the players.
Slashing a level 2 player could cause 50 damage. Slashing a black bear only caused 30 damage. It was very reasonable.
However, the last message was something that Mike did not expect.
He did not expect this wandering black bear to have a Rebound skill.
Mike had frequent encounters with this skill in his previous life, and it was not a common skill.
Very few low-level monsters had this skill.
Although he was a little surprised, it was not a big deal. It would not affect Mike's success in completing the quest.
[Wandering black bear has launched a claw attack on you, causing 10 damage!]
[You have attacked the wandering black bear, causing 30 damage! ]
[Wandering black bear has triggered the passive skill, Rebound, dealing 3 damage to you!]
Mike and the black bear fought back and forth, though he clearly had the advantage.
Soon, the black bear's HP was depleted.
[You have successfully killed the wandering black bear, obtaining 30 EXP.]
After receiving the final fatal blow, the wandering black bear powerlessly fell to the ground. At the same time, several items dropped from its body.
Originally, Mike still had about one-third of his HP left. After receiving this notification, Mike's body immediately emitted a golden light.
He had leveled up!
'Too easy.'
Mike whistled. He became more and more fond of the iron sword in his hand.
Although this was just an ordinary weapon, to the current Mike, it was just like a godly weapon.

Too powerful!
After putting away the iron sword, Mike glanced at the few items on the ground and a happy expression was revealed.
He saw a book among the piles of copper coins on the ground!
The meaning of a book in a game was self-evident.
It was either a tool to trigger a special mission or a skill book!
Plus, the shape of this book was obviously a skill book!
Mike decisively picked up the skill book.
Before he even collected the copper coins, he eagerly opened his backpack.
He wanted to know what kind of skill book this was.
[Rebound (passive skill): rebounds 10% damage when attacked.]
Seeing this skill, Mike whistled again.
In other's perspective, this skill could only be considered average.
However, in Mike's hands, it was a very useful godly skill!
Because Mike had an SSS-grade talent skill, God-level Passive Enhancement!
Without any hesitation, Mike immediately learned this skill book.
The skill book in his backpack turned into light particles and drilled into Mike's body.
Then, an additional skill appeared in Mike's skill attributes panel.
[Rebound (god-level passive enhancement): rebounds 200% damage when attacked.]
When he saw this skill, a satisfied smile appeared on Mike's face.
Rebounds 200% damage. This skill's effect was like a bug.
If anyone attacked him and caused 10 damage, the opponent would receive 20 damage!
Mike did not even need to attack. All he needed to do was stand.
Unless the opponent's HP was more than twice that of Mike's.
Mike would not be the first to die.
He was Invincible!

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
8 682The Radiant War
The human world is aflame with war. Nations clash with their neighbours, while the Kelvon Empire, bulwark of the human world, stands on the brink of civil war. The plans of the enemies of mankind to destroy human civilisation, to restore their own mastery of the world, are well on the way to success. The people of Helberion have vowed to defeat those plans, though. Peace must be restored between the various peoples of mankind so that they can combine their efforts against their true enemy. Even while her country strives to avoid conquest and defeat at the hands of their traditional enemies the Carrowmen, therefore, Princess Ardria journeys to Carrow to meet with the enemy King in an almost hopeless attempt to persuade him of the truth. All her hopes rest on the assumption that he in an unwitting dupe of the true enemy, but lurking at the back of her mind is the fear that he may be all too aware of the truth, that he may have sold out humanity for the promise of personal power. If this is true, then all that awaits her at the end of her journey through fear and danger is imprisonment and the life of a hostage to be used against her father, King Leothan. The Brigadier would help her if he could, but he and Malone, his former batman, are far away, each having their own missions to try and ensure the survival of human civilisation. Having completed his latest task, the Brigadier must race to join her, to assist and protect her, but will he reach her before she arrives at the palace of the enemy King? And will the Princess still have a country to be Princess of by the time she arrives there? Because even if Helberion manages to defeat the all conquering armies of Carrow there is another, even deadlier threat waiting in the wings against which there may be no defence... This is volume three of the Ontogeny series. If you haven't read volume one, Ontogeny, and volume Two, The Electric Messiah, you should read them first.
