Chapter 38: Dragon Roar Town
The material the God of Salvation had given Sui Xiong was mainly the mainland’s geography, a couple of evaluations about some significant mighty existence, and the most important information, knowledge about God .
What is God? How to be a good God? What are principles for constructing a God Kingdom? How to choose a priesthood? How to use the acquired God Power? What is the relationship between a God and fighting force? etc, . .
A new God would of course get the answers for such problems from their predecessors or superiors . But for those Gods who fought alone and built up everything from scratch, it would be really hard for them to obtain those non-transmitted secrets . The God of salvation clearly didn’t hide it for his private property . He had passed on his long-time accumulated “Life Experience” to Sui Xiong . Its content was rich, was carefully and accurately recorded . There were many educative and practical examples in it, which was certainly a great benefit for Sui Xiong .
Few days later, after completely comprehending all the documents, he had remembered those important things, and finally passed the “still not get used to living here” phrase, had more understanding about this world, he then rested assured to start traveling .
After that, he dragged Palin and began his trip to the northwest four towns .
The first stop was the Dragon Roar Town———-the reward for succeeding in expelling the Evil Dragon was 5,000 gold coins . This amount of money would be a great help for an exploiter who wanted to build a village .
The Dragon Roar town was on the north pole of the Northwest Four Towns . The name of this town was from the “Cold Tyrant” Evil Dragon which lived deep in the nearby mountain .
Few decades ago, before the Evil Dragon came to this place, it was named “Hunter Town” . Because the main production of this town was from the hunting in the nearby mountain range . There were also a lot of hunting professionals .
Although the Cold Tyrant was incredibly mighty, its attack was indeed not that intense . Until now, the main production of the Dragon Roar Town was still from the hunting activities in the nearby mountain range . It was not affected too much by the giant Dragon living close by .
Of course, every few years, the blue and white, slippery and cold Giant Dragon with scales that looked like ice would attack this town . Its purpose was obviously not to eat human or to destroy, but to extort Gold Coins .
This made the Dragon Roar Town become a large size ATM for the Giant Dragon . It didn’t need to use a credit card to withdraw money . Moreover, it could use this machine unlimitedly . Its arrogance was to the extent that it could be compared to some gold-digger who would go straight to a luxury restaurant on the first date, then demand a set of Chanel items—-but this Dragon Roar Town was not an overbearing chairman who had an unlimited Black Gold Card, or a rich kid who could casually spend several millions to entertain, it was just a small ordinary town .
To the villagers in this town, this Giant Dragon, which periodically robbed was not different than those disgusting taxations .
Except for the Giant Dragon’s robbery, the Dragon Roar Town in general was still peaceful . The most interesting thing in this town was that sometimes there were some skillful hunters hunting Devil Beasts . That group of people was like ants carrying the Devil Beast down the mountain, out of the town . They then started analyzing the Devil Beast .

This scene was not only famous in the Northwest four towns, but it was quite well-known in the entire mainland . Many nosy parkers would not hesitate to travel over land and water to see such scene .
When Sui Xiong and Palin arrived in the down, the hunting squadron had just successfully hunted and killed an Inferior Dragon . The analyzing work had already reached the second day . Only a genius could have an ability to complete in one day,
Although that dragon had diesd, its corpse, which was laying in he big square outside the town, was probably bigger than Gerrard’s body . It took the hunting God church more than ten years to build this square for the sake of analyzing the prey . More than half of this massive square was covered with black and green slate . Each slate was carved with the Hunting God Emblem and had passed the sacred offering ritual . As long as a prey was transferred here, it would rot but slowly be broken down . Moreover, if the prey had rotted a little bit, they could ask a shaman to display a recovery magic to restore its corpse——this kind of wonder magic exclusively belonged to the Hunting God, was also one of the main economic source of the church .
Far way, on a rock, there laid a giant beast corpse, which was as big as a room . Few veteran hunters were using sharp knives, busy breaking it down . There was a group of young assistants besides . There were also some businessmen who hurriedly brought their transport chariots here to wait . Sui Xiong couldn’t stand but burst out laughing .
“This place is really verdant, full of vitality!”
“Indeed, as compared to other towns in the Four Towns, the villagers in the Dragon Roar Town are more confident and energetic . It is basically because they have to fight with Devil Devil Beasts all year long . Those people who lacked of confidence and courage simply have no way to stay here but leave . ” Because Gerrard wanted to monitor the order of the exploiters, at the same time training others, Sui Xiong had to take Palin with him . This young shaman had really good impression with this group of hunters, who used brains and courages to hunt down big devil beasts . His voice somehow showed compliments .
What he said was not wrong . But he had missed a big reason: Every few years, this town would be attacked by the Giant Dragon . Although the Giant Dragon’s supremacy was fearful, they had endured it for many years . They were not so frightened to run away . They were usually trained their hearts and minds to become extremely strong .
What on earth could scare those who had experienced Giant Dragon’s attack?
Therefore, the majority of these villagers in the Dragon Roar Town had a pessimistic attitude . They were carefree and cheerful, smiling all day long .
Many fully-equipped hunters could be seen on the street . It seemed that they wanted to go to the mountain to hunt Devil Beasts . Their bodies were fully-armed with must-have reliable necessities . Hence, this place was also known as the biggest weapon trading site in the Northwest Four Towns . As long as one’s pocket was full of money, they could buy any mighty weapons to fight against dragons . Even a legendary dragon-slaying sword could be found here .
. . . As for those who felt that they could kill a dragon with a dragon-slaying sword, their intelligences were extremely low, they would create many damages for the society . They’d better die and reincarnate to get a wider perspective .
“Do they really sell dragon-slaying treasured sword here?” When hearing Palin said, Sui Xiong couldn’t stand but curiously asked, “it might be not a dragon-slaying treasured sword, click to send?

“What is click? Why do we need to send dragon-slaying treasured sword?”
Sui Xiong chuckled, then urged Palin to go to the weapon store . He wanted to see what on earth ” dragon-slaying treasured sword” in this world looked like .
There was a couple of weapon stores in the Dragon Roar Town . When entering this town, Palin went straight to the biggest weapon store . This weapon store was impressively named “dragon-slaying treasured sword” .
As soon as he entered the door, he found a really big pillar supporting the roof, which was hanging a huge machete that was bigger than his body .
“Well, this is a dragon-slaying sword . “
The black bone bracelet on his wrist flashed up . Sui Xiong used his God Power to analyze the treasured sword’s structure, thinking of making the same one in the future .
But he really quickly regretted his decision . This blade had nothing special in it . It was simply a little bit bigger , a little bit heavier, made of a little bit firmer material . There were several formations engraved on it . That was it .
“Is this blade a sample or a real one?” He couln’t stand but ask .
Palin suddenly asked the shop assistant in the weapon store . But the shop assistant guaranteed this blade was a ‘genuine goods at fair price’, was absolutely a dragon-slaying treasured sword .
Hence, Sui Xiong took it out, carefully checked again .
It was obviously an ordinary blade!
In fact, it was made from a pretty good materials, which was the highest quality steel, moreover was well forged . There was not even an air bubble inside the blade . Sui Xiong could even figure out that atfer every time this blade was hammered and quenched, it was put in the cold water . It was indeed made with a lot of efforts . But only this much, could it be called a dragon-slaying treasured sword?
Perhaps, it was merely a magic casted blade .
This blade had a total of four black art formations, “Sharp”, “Firm” and “Fast” were fixed . “Gravity transformation” was activated by the user . Just that and nothing more .
Just with merely four formations, can a big-sized steel blade be called a dragon-slaying treasured sword?
Sui Xiong rubbed his mouth: “This guy is indeed exaggerating . No matter what the world is, businessmen are the same! What people in Antarctica are not afraid of the cold, what a Dragon-slaying sword, they . . . ar all the same!”
“Highness, don’t you think this blade is a fake?” Palin curiously asked .
“How to say . . . . If Gerrard holds his blade—–suppose that except for an ax, he can also use blade—-then this blade is definitely a dragon-slaying sword . But the key of the dragon-slaying sword doesn’t lie in this place but in Gerrard . We have to change the courage of that rascal, Rhodes . Even if we give him ten blades like this, he would run for life when encountering the Giant Dragon, not to mention he would throw all the blades to run faster!”
“If it is the case, then this blade is in fact not bad, it’s just been exaggerated a little bit . . . ” Palin said, “or maybe the craftsman who makes this blade wants to use the blade’s reputation to attract a true legendary powerhouse, to ask for their help to kill this Giant Dragon?”
“Maybe . ” Sui Xiong had actually lost his interest in this exaggerated blade, he diverted his gaze to other weapons .
If looking closely, there were many good quality weapons in his store . If their standard was not raised to the “Dragon-slaying” level, there would be many good stuffs worth paying attention .
For example, he really quickly found a long dagger named “Ice Iron” . This dagger was made from a specific material and some magics, which made it sharper, firmer, and faster . It could create mirage, which baffled enemy’s vision .
If it was merely like the description above, Sui Xiong would not look at it with different eyes . There might be a mystery hidden inside this dagger———–inside of there was a “Scarlet Flame rhinoceros” magic stone that belonged to a “Fire” attributed Devil Beast . Through the magic array on the dagger, when necessary, one could launch an intense fire power, then the dagger at that moment would become a buffer tool for the owner, which was like a sword hilt .
In other words, this sharp dagger contained Ice Power but also could turn into a Fire Sword when necessary . Such a transformation was absolutely out of the enemy’s expectation . In a real battle, if you could do something the enemy least expected, then your victory would be guaranteed .
Sui Xiong’s new believer, Rhodes was not well-prepared person . As a vice president of the Thieves Guild, he only carried a refined steel as a weapon by his side, relying on the “Sharp” effective long dagger . This average dagger was neither made from a special material nor superior technique . Although it could coordinate well with the magic, it forever would not be compared with the “Ice Soul” dagger . When those weapons really met, his dagger would probably be cut off . Not to mention the ability to change to fire, they were poles apart, completely could not compare .
Gerrard used a giant battle-ax . There was no goods here . Hence, Sui Xiong intended to grant desperate Rhodes a weapon, which at least helped him, the poor physique evaluation specialist, not get killed and turned into a skeleton .
Uhm, from his view, except for Gods, the creature, who didn’t wear the name “poor physique” could temporarily meet a giant whale, which was like the Four Faces Monster that he had eaten not too long ago . According to his belief, his believers needed at least to reach such a level to make him feel relaxed .
Although he got a dragon slaying sword, a chicken could not slay a dragon but be slayed by a dragon . After all, Buddha was judged by gold adornment, people were judged by clothes . Jumping directly from a weapon view to an atomic bomb mind was not right . . . . “Do we need to buy Rhodes weapons? This punk is clearly relying on Highness’s good heart . His religion is clearly not sincere at all . ” Palin was immediately anrgy after he realized Sui Xiong’s intention .
From his view, only sincerity deserved a reward from God .
But Sui Xiong didn’t think like this . He was an Earth person, furthermore a Chinese person . The Chinese attitude to their religion was like “I believe in God, God will grant me blessing, a fair exchange . ” Rhodes indeed believed in him . Moreover, for the reward of his efforts, these days, he was extremely busy to the point that his heels almost didn’t touch the ground . Even now, he was still struggling .
He wanted his effort to be acknowledged by Sui Xiong . It was the human nature to seek for reward .
This kind of God World just asked their believers to pay unconditionally, just based on the sincerity level of worshiping to evaluate . He didn’t agree with this kind of method! It was not right . . . .

Trial of Champions
It all began with a family trip to an amusement park. How were any of us to expect being transported from Earth to participate in some "Trial of Champions," whatever that was supposed to be? Given only an hour to choose the Classes that would come to define our strengths, we were almost immediately torn away from one another and thrust into a deadly game of survival. It wasn't all bad, though, as terrifying as it could be from time to time. The supernatural and magical powers of the Classes were like something out of an RPG, complete with leveling up by killing monsters and completing so-called "Sub-Trials." And despite the juicy Experience to be gained from killing other Champion Contestants, not all of the participants were bloodthirsty murderers; some could be allied with, or even befriended. Even if it seemed like everyone who had been chosen for this Trial, no matter what universe they came from, was at least a little bit crazy. I would survive this till the end, and I'd make sure that my siblings and parents did as well, no matter how many times we were separated from one another. No matter how long it took. No matter what I had to do. --- A first-person litRPG incorporating classes inspired by D&D and other sources. If you like blue boxes but don't need to have huge lists of numbers to scratch your itch, you should be satisfied on that front. Each chapter is, in my word processing document, seven pages long (approximately 3300-3900 words). The Traumatizing Content warning is there because of discussions of certain topics. Nothing that I think deserves the warning actually happens in the story.
