《All Time Marksman 》Chapter 15: A beginning of the end.
Advertisement
Jin crossed the gate as the barriers were lifted up. Jin started to walk as he walks he can see the ruins of the buildings and some explosions because of the bombardment of the military force. There are few trucks that are roaming around the cities trying to find citizens that need to be rescued.
As he walking towards one of the alleys he met 2 levels 3 trolls. Their features are now different, they now have sharp claws and huge orc-like fangs. They have pointy noses and their eyes were blazing red. Their chest was filled with stains of blood and their smell is awful.
Jin did not think twice and tried to find cover to be able to scope the 2, level 3 trolls. He tried to look at the cross-hair of his XDR-Rifle and from there he was able to see 4 weak spots of the trolls. But from this, it will only be a 30% damage buff and not a 50%. "Skills: marksman" And then a green tab appeared in front of him.
[Normal Skill]:[Rapid Fire, Ray Gun Burst, Burst Fire, Dual Burst Fire]
[Buff Skills]: [Deep breath, Blind Aim]
[Ultimate Skill]: [Boost Fire]
``Let me use these skills if they are able to kill these troll monsters`` Jin aimed his XDR-Rifle "Rapid Fire!" the two trolls turned around and then they saw multiple bullets coming towards them but the bullets have a colored light with invoked ability power in it. [ magazine round 20/30]
The bullets pierce through the flesh of the trolls "RAHH UGHRKK!" they screamed in pain. But they were still alive, then they became under rage which gives them an evolution to slowly form two horns on their heads. ``Shi-`` Jin then whispered once again "Burst Fire" Jin holds the trigger and a beam of light fired towards the troll *PHEWW* that was on the left. As he fires the XDR-Rifle the recoil of the rifle slowly raised his aim.
And as the beam traveled it created a dust cloud. And as it hit the troll it was followed by a large explosion *BOOM* fire and smoked were combined in that combustion. And as the smoke diminished and subsided, Jin suddenly saw a silhouette of a car coming towards him. Jin quickly rolls on the left to the main road. And the car that was coming to directly hit the direction where he was hiding. Jin quickly reloaded his magazine as fast as he could.

``that strength is really a different one!`` as the smoke cleared Jin saw the first troll dropped on the ground meanwhile the other troll is half-burned and in a rage mode as the whole skin is in a state of reddish-violet. As jin looked closely the troll growled and roared.
``This is getting interesting come at me and show me what you can do!``
Jin smirked and as he was in a crawl position he aimed his XDR-rifle towards the troll who was rushing towards Jin furiously. Jin whispered "Ray Gun Burst" two consecutive light beams fired. *Phewwww* and in the beam of fire once directly hit an explosion followed. *KABOOM* smoke and fire were generated.
``Using Mythical Realms skills applied to a real-world.``
Jin stood up from where was crawling position. And as he walked towards the explosion and the smoke and fire slowly gone down he saw the body of the troll but it was only the ashes that remain. And when he stood on there a blue tab appeared in front of him.
[Loot: Troll Claws, Troll teeth. 20 Gold]
``Not that bad. let me look on the other body over there`` Jin walked towards the first troll that he killed earlier. And then a blue tab appeared in front of Jin.
[Loot: Troll teeth, 30 gold]
Jin looked in the distance and saw a group of users that were killing a couple of ghouls that were always ganging up on two civilians that were about to run towards the Safe Zone Delta. Jin slowly observes their skills and coordination all of them were having to get to use their powers. As Jin observed from afar the group consists of 2 strengths, 1 speed, 1 intelligence, 1 accuracy.
``what a pretty combination they all have.`` Jin slowly walked away from the place that was going to be the direction of the group that he saw earlier. ``I prefer not going to meet them it is to avoid conflict and confrontation better to go to another route.``
Jin was carefully walking to one of the streets that were open. Jin then whispered
"Zero Eye Blue Bullet" as he does a fast tactical reload. Once again Jin's Left eye slowly became like a cross-hair and in that visualization, he was able to see through a 3-dimensional graphic overview of the whole place. And as he observed he saw 6 ghouls and 1 troll that was hiding inside a house.

[Zero Eye Blue Bullet (Novice: 4.2%)]
Jin did not hesitate anymore and quickly raised his XDR-Rifle. And click the trigger the XDR-rifle already have registered the skill that Jin was using it appeared at the left side of the body of the XDR-Rifle
[Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Rapid Fire]
And followed to that skill multiple bullets open fired to the location where the 6 ghouls were hiding and waiting for their prey but it was their bad luck because they met Jin. The bullets pierced through the walls of the buildings as it pierces through the noises were the bullets pierce through were in loud noises and it alarmed the troll. But on the contrary, it hits directly at the ghouls that were standing behind the walls.
[magazine round: 15/30]
"UGHK!" Jin was lucky enough that he was able to get 2 direct critical hits on one of the ghouls. Followed to that the ghouls were acting differently they immediately transformed.
The ghoul transformed as their skin suddenly changing to the color red and their facial features suddenly becoming much scarier and unpleasant. Their fangs were huge enough like the fangs of a tiger and their claws were sharp and long. And to add to that the ghoul also had 2 horns that suddenly appeared on their forehead.
As of this moment, Jin only knows the location of the ghouls but not their level and their type of ghoul. After that moment Jin heard a huge explosion and from that explosion, it was the ghoul that was rampaging.
The ghouls were able to destroy a full wall of a building. And when they got out they slowly looked at Jin who was currently standing in the middle of the road. And when Jin saw the ghoul's blazing eyes, he quickly runs for cover. ``Oh hell did not expect that their level was at 4 and 5``
Jin runs towards one of the destroyed buildings to find a suitable cover to once again able to fire his gun.
``I should have increased the magazine size round so that it will not be only 30 rounds. Damn I should have think of this earlier damn Jin you are stupid``
Jin once again aimed his XDR-rifle and carefully aim but because of the beating of his heart from the adrenaline earlier.
He then whispered. "Deep Breath" and then a buff skill logo appeared below his Health bar. And his adrenaline-pumping heartbeat slowly calmed down and he was able to carefully aim his sight.
[Triggering Skill usage chosen] [Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Ray gun Burst]
And then a large composition of light gathered at the muzzle of the XDR-rifle and then it fired and a beam fired towards the direction of the incoming ghouls that were rushing to attack Jin that was not that far from their location.
And when the light beam fired it directly hit one of the ghouls that were rushing towards Jin and then it was followed by a large explosion. *KABOOM* the black smoke mixed with the burning fire. And from that slowly 2 ghouls were standing but their bodies were no longer red and their skin color was black as the smoked-like incinerated its main body properties.
"That was a great skill alright now down to two more!" Jin exclaimed and smirked as he saw that the two ghouls were just walking out from the explosion. "Let's see how will this play out!" Jin did quickly initiate a tactical reload and followed that with a soft whisper "Blind aim" Jin closed his eyes and then aimed his XDR-rifle and from that the XDR-Rifle once again
[Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Ray gun Burst]
And it was followed by another explosion *KABOOM* it has easily defeated and incinerated the last 2 ghouls that were charging towards his direction. Jin smirked but from that moment he was also tired and exhausted because he has been engaging with multiple monsters without any rest. After that, a blue tab appeared in front of Jin.
[Congratulations Ru Jin for defeating 6 ghouls you have now receive 500 bonus gold for defeating such tremendous skill.]
[LEVEL UP +10 stat points and +10 Elemental resistance points]
[Due to the location of some of the bodies and the current situation the system has given you an auto collect but with this, you will have to pay 20 Gold. Will you use the said auto collect? Yes Or No]
Jin looked at the new tab that appeared in front of him and he read it. He then taps the yes choice and soon enough another tab appeared in front of him.
[Loot: Ghoul Claws x3, Ghoul Horn x2, Ghoul head x1, 230 Gold]

8 225A Collection of Tales
This is or rather will become a collection of short stories set in the worlds of The Misplaced Dungeon and Unexpected Consequences as I am finding it difficult to avoid including some amusing ideas that would sidetrack those stories. And now also include stories from the world of And Dungeon Makes Three. Unless otherwise stated these stories happen in the background and are here because they seem to want to get out. Updating will be irregular.
8 67Rise of the Desolate Star
“The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they’re just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow’s arse.” - Kendric Farrow Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow’s body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father. All the while, Skyle’s heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother. Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery! The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for? The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world? It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them. Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough? Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world. Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not.

8 121The Systems of the Multiverse - A Guide for the Multiversal Traveler
The Systems of the Multiverse have their issues. I, an observer from outside the multiverse have made it into my mission to tell you, the multiversal traveler about those issues and dangers. This is a relatively low effort NaNoWriMo and Writhathon project. I want to test myself if I can manage 55k words in a month, likely updating every single day until the end. This story is told in the form of an in universe book. Well, I say story... While this definetly won't be great, I still hope it will be enjoyable. I do my best to avoid grammar mistakes and spelling issues, but won't promise anything. Corrections are welcome, this is also an excercise to improve my writing from a technical standpoint. Not from a worldbuilding and character standpoint however, for that you need time. Oh, the keyboards (and computers) that the observer destroys are not real and only exists in story to have an excuse to easily end this story at the end of NaNoWriMo. I also personally like reading LitRPG stories, so this isn't meant to hate them. It might come over that way, but many of those issues are simply fun to think about: what would really happen if the world is so, seen through a lease of negativity :-) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 124Den 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. It seemed as though Humanity was alone in the cosmos, but no longer, as new, monstrous races have been born from the flesh of those whom the Fog singled out. 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. [WARNING!
