CHAPTER TWO
Friendship is its own reward (unless you're somebody else)
~
Every time they ran, the three of them would gain some speed
They’d get thicker skin whenever a small cut would bleed
Sky once learned to levitate while falling from a tree
Such a rare ability was quite the sight to see
Achievement: Like the Wind
You have run so fast you felt the wind blow through your hair
Here’s a speed boost with which you can run fast everywhere
It will level up the more you use it, so have fun
Maybe one day you’ll be much faster than anyone
Leaf came from a family of speedsters like himself
Some say that his grandmother was secretly an elf
But it was always known that one day he would grow up strong
And he would be the fastest on any road, short or long
Achievement: Thick Skin
You have scraped your knee, and you have worried this goddess
So I’ll give you thicker skin, oh no, your shirts a mess
Now you’ll heal much quicker to, but go and clean your shirt
Here, I’ll even make it so small wounds won’t even hurt
Pebble was a boy from a large family of tanks
Raised to take a beating from monsters and just say thanks
Though his parents doted on him, he was raised as tough
And his mother made sure that he was eating enough
Achievement: On the Wind
Your sensitivity to magic forces in the air
Is second to none as for as this god is aware
Take this levitation skill and train it as you like
You’ll be able to fly while your friends still have to hike
Sky was like an angel, and that wasn’t just gossip
Her and her goddess had formed a close relationship
Advertisement
Everything about her was as fair as it could be
As kind and talented as any angel one could see
Twig grew jealous every time he heard his friends’ reports
So much strength achieved for playing simple games and sports
But whenever he exerted effort on something
It was quite the different result his screen would bring
Achievement: Smell the Flowers
You’re so slow I almost feel asleep while writing this
Just stop running, surely it is not a sport you’ll miss
Sit at home and help your father fix the leaky roof
Don’t do things that you’re not good at you pathetic goof
Achievement: At Least It’s Red
You tripped over a stump because you don’t pay attention
Honestly, at least we learned some good information
You’re human after all, although you’d pass for an insect
Now at least you’ll get at least that amount of respect
Achievement: Breaking Wind
You fell out of a tree and farted when you hit the ground
Aren’t you glad that no one other than me was around
As a prize I’ll give you even more free good advice
Next time you think climbing trees sounds fun, you should think twice

Domhain: A Modern Fantasy LitRPG
(Blurb) When Ardan, a teenage elf boy, is thrown into the world- his world, of distrust and tension, he wants only one thing. To live a normal life, get a job, make friends, even start a family. But either dumb luck or fate won't leave him alone. With the power of a game system and magic, he's determined to find out the reason he was picked, and what makes him special. Along the way, hopefully meeting new friends and learning some magic here and there. (Synopsis) Domhain - a world split between five nations and five unique magical gifts; home of elves, dwarves, goblins, trolls, and humans, each of them so different but in reality more alike than anyone would like to acknowledge. Twenty years ago, the humans, weakest of the five, secretly acquired powerful magic and set out for war. The united forces of the other nations stood no chance. Humanity prevailed, proving itself as the new leader of the modern world. Now, Domhain is at peace but tensions are rising again. The humans want more than their territory back. They want it all. And they want revenge. But this time, the elves hide a dark power, and will stop at nothing to wipe the humans off Domhain forever. War is inevitable. Thousands will die. And the power to stop it all falls into the hands of none other than a particularly tall fifteen-year-old elf orphan. Ever since he could remember, Ardan lived a normal, sheltered, life in an elven orphanage. On the day he's finally able to leave for good and start his independent life, something strange occurs. He is given a pill, a gift, that turns his life into a game with levels, quests, dungeons, and a... talking weapon? All of which are capable of transforming his body and the world around him. As if that weren’t enough, Ardan learns the orphanage has hidden natural magic from him, and the whole world is intertwined with it. More importantly, he, as an elf, has a particularly unique and powerful heritage. That heritage, along with the benefits of his new power makes him a target for the greed of many... With nothing but his friends and a incredibly smart sister, he is determined to find out what makes him so special. Who can he trust?
