The Ancients World Chapter 6
Advertisement
This one actually has quest objectives and I got to say this is a great secret that was hidden from everyone. Very rare quests are the best quests to go for because Legacy and higher are very well hidden and are to hard to complete if it isn't hidden. Take my class quest for example, no ordinary player would do a junk quest for a poor woman in an orphanage. There are said to be billions of quests out here in Ancients World. They will also be replaced with new ones that are unique just like the ones that came before it.
The system is alerting me that I have gotten the attention of the enemies in the area. There are plenty of mobs to farm here. Undead and animals alike line my path. I think now is a good time to look at the objectives.
[Quest: Battle with an Elemental]
[Objective 1: Kill enemies and gather essence to use as a tracking method]
[Objective 2: Kill the Elemental and free the magical oppression in the area]
So now its time to slay some mobs. Most are gray names and some are green, green names are labeled as strong. It is the place between weak and elite, they give out good exp too. After about an hour I collect 900 exp and I get enough essences to track where this Elemental is. I also used slash and brought it up to level 2 with another 90 exp. It is getting better, every 10 levels a skill upgrades and the perks properties get better.
I follow the magical light and I am led to an old broken down home. It looks to be 4, maybe 5 bedrooms. The forest is giving it a wonderful horror movie feel. It looks older than the cages in the cave I went through to get here. I approach the missing front door as I smell a putrid rotting odor. This is typical of demons or things of demonic origin in Ancients World. "You will die human...." I hear a distorted and deep voice, this is where he is staying alright.
I point my sword in front of me so I can react in time. The light from the sun is shining into the windows and lighting up the place. It is just shrouded in a dark aura that tries to snuff out the light. I suddenly get blitzed from behind.
-375
I get hit and my health drops to 940. The damn thing snuck up on me. "You aren't a normal human, that should have killed you." The deep evil voice rings throughout the house. I keep following the magic into the basement. "Go any further and you will suffer more deaths than your mortal mind can comprehend." So this is where his little nest is. He comes down here to draw power from the surrounding woods and gets stronger. I continue to approach the basement door, but roots come out of the ground and cover it.

I snort and start using my slash skill, it has a 3 second cool down after 3 consecutive hits. "You cant keep me out forever." I say into the empty house and all I get back is a deep growl. Pretty soon I get through and each step I take I feel the house shake in his silent rage. He tried to attack me from behind again, but I jumped the rest of the way downstairs as he disappears into the darkness. That is an annoying trait of demonic creatures. I see the grotesque thing in front of me now that he is gone.
The house wasn't shaking from his rage. It was shaking from this giant black heart that is created out of rotten flesh and roots. It is in the middle of the room and is being supported from the bottom and top as it beats. "So this is why you didn't want me down here." I was about to charge at the heart and cut it up until I was interrupted.
The Elemental had others plans. He comes out of the darkness looking like a crossbreed between a tree and a mantis. He has the body of a mantis, but an exoskeleton of bark and branches. "Your power will feed mine." After he said that he quickly launched an attack and I barely dodge it. I take this spare second to view his information.
[Elemental Nec'mul Lvl. 10 boss]
20,000/20,000 HP
That is a lot of health and I am already missing 375. This is speaking true towards a Very Rare quest. The purple name is a little intimidating if I am being honest. Now I know what I am dealing with here. I will have to use Protected by Heaven to endure this guys crazy skills. I can see why you would need a party for this. He begins casting curse magic and I know that I would not survive these attacks. Demons are able to do magic with out chanting so I don't know what curse it is. I waste no more time and cast Protected by light. I start hitting him with slash as well.
[You are immune to all damage for 10 minutes]
-2712.5
-2712.5
I use this opportunity to unleash slash after slash on his body. His health falls fast has I am taking no damage. If I didn't have this class I would be a pile of flesh from these curses. "WHAT ARE YOU!?!" He is taking damage to fast and he has no where to run. To him I was just a regular human.

-2712.5
[Nec'rul is enraged]
[Health will regenerate 200 points every second]
-2712.5
-2712.5
Almost all his health is gone and now he enrages. I use this opportunity to use Heavens Light. I have used 1200 mana to active these 2 skills and now my next attacks should be enough to finish him off. The 75% from slash and the 250% to 350% from heavens light stack on top of each other.
-6587.5
-6587.5
+1400 exp
[You have leveled up]
+180 mastery for slash
+25 mastery for heavens light
+25 mastery for protected by heaven
After I land the second strike Nec'mul falls to the ground dead. I pick up his avatars heart as proof for the bounty boards or Baron Jackson. I turn my attention to the heart as it beats in a panic. The room is shaking quite hard and now I can kill the true form of Nec'mul. I use my last slash on the heart.
-6587.5
The beating black fleshy and root heart explodes. It doesn't drop any gear, but it does drop a magic core. I read the description and now I understand why I had to gather essences.
[This is the magical core of the Elemental Nec'mul]
[Destroy the core to free the forest and the souls trapped with in]
[Do you wish to destroy the magic core? Y/N]
I instantly think yes and the core shatters. I feel an oppressive force lift its self from the special farming area. I then get another system notice.
[You have completed the quest: Battle with an Elemental]
[5000 exp rewarded]
[You have leveled up]
[Hidden reward boosted from soloing the boss]
[One guild token, one land token]
[Due too your class you cant use the guild token, you can sell it to nobles or other players]
[Due too your class you have limited uses for land token, you can sell it to nobles or use it to purchase a property of medium size in any capital city]
[You can also you this token to invest or make a store and make money from it]
[If people find out you are The Son of Arch-Angel Michael than everyone will be kicked out from your neighborhood and it will be declared holy grounds]
[This will cause a severe decrease in reputation with the citizens of the kingdom from losing their homes]
Blue Chaos wasn't lying about not being able to join a guild. It seems I can buy a property and live there, but I risk getting discovered and having a huge penalty. Investing or making my own store sounds great in long term finance. This guild token will cause all the current major guilds to risk war for it. No one has built a guild hall or come close to good enough relations with a city or town to try and find out how to make one.
This guild token is worth millions right now. I could take it to the auction house when it is put into the game in a week. The auction house lets you use money from our world or gold in this world to buy from other players. You have to use gold if you want to buy from NPC's in this world. I need to see where my stats stand.
[Slayer (Zern) Lvl.5]
[Exp: 6060/7000]
[Title: The Son of Arch-Angel Michael (Hidden),+1 more]
[Stats]
[Strength - 200]
[Endurance - 200]
[Dexterity - 205]
[Speed - 200]
[Focus - 200]
[Mana: 400/2000]
[Health: 940/1600]
[Stat Points: 40 unspent]
[Inventory]
[Skills]
[Do you wish for the world to know that you slayed an Elemental? Y/N]
This is really convenient. I heard that this happened to players sometimes. I do not wish to draw unnecessary attention to myself. I already have the world looking for me, I am the needle in the haystack right now. I don't want to just jump out into someone's hands. I think no and the system accepts it. The system decides to speak again, this time with a reward.
[For being the first player to kill a demon and do it solo you will receive a new perk!]
[Slayer of Evil - Passive]
[Description: You will have a +35 boost to all your stats when facing a creature of hell or a member of the church of the dark ones]
This will help with the dungeons in the second expansion pack in a year and a half from now. Players wont have the chance to join the church of the dark ones until level 75. I can see why they kept this quest hidden, this perk will become very valuable in the future.

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.

Conquest Of Mortem
*NOTE* This novel is a war of attrition. To say anything less is a disservice to its demand. While comparable to other such works as Ulysses or Moby Dick, each sentence in Conquest is an enemy to be tackled. Not in the ways of difficulty but in absurd density that wishes nothing more than to destroy what patience you may have. Do not tackle chapters as you would ordinary chapters in an ordinary book. Tackle each chapter as a book unto itself. A foe to be vanquished, a period of life to leave behind. Seek to be master of this work. Seek to overcome. For in its design is the willpower, and the perseverance, and the strength of someone who sought meaning in struggle. As I discovered these in times of ultimate desperation, so I hope for you to discover these things. This novel is a love letter to your trials. May you overcome them. May you master them. May you become conquerer.- SeedSagaA literary epic for logophiles, philosophers, and poets alike. A journey into zeitgeist, the impact of media on culture, and the endurance of morality against an onslaught of hatred. These vague descriptions do little to compact Conquest's density into a bite-size summary. They do however relate the basest themes found within. A plot, if such can be surmised, is strung thinly across multiple perspectives, weaving together these concepts into a seemingly distorted tapestry of indecipherable events. Inspired by early 20th century modernism, Conquest will challenge the reader, and provide critique on the medium upon which all great stories are derived. Further interpretation is up to you now; an explorer among a sea of words. Venture on and discover what lies ahead, in...CONQUEST OF MORTEM
