《Sir Crabby (Progression Litrpg)》Chapter 7 - Back to Arthos!
Advertisement
"You gotta believe me [Doc]! The end is nigh! It'll rise above the waves, it's head higher than the sky. It's chitin will block out the sun. A single claw will shatter the land. All the races of Arthos will flee from it's wrath. But it ain't gonna work! Each step will break continents and as it moves, death is gonna follow in it's wake. Dragons will fight against it, but they'll all be torn asunder."
"And you said you saw this in a dream? You're going to have to be more specific if we're going to get to the source of your delusions. What exactly is the nature of this creature?"
"[Doc]!! I already told you! You gotta let me out of here! We have to stop it! The Giant Crab will destroy us all!"
--Interview with Patient #24, Lenoria's Asylum for the Criminally Insane. AC 1747
Yet again, a brilliant light fell from the sky as I, Sir Crabby McCrabbington, Lord of Coasts and High Crab of the Realm, return to Arthos. I know the light was brilliant because as soon as I tried to wake up it's glaring radiance seared into my retinas. Blasted lack of eyelids!
"Oww..." I clutch my claws to my head. Pain racks my brain as I say,
"Really [System]? Is your sole method of transport headache inducing bright lights?"
**[System]: Invalid inquiry parameters. Please rephrase or direct inquiry to Divine interlocutors.**
"No, no, I think I'm done with anything Divine for right now. In fact, maybe ever. No Divine for me, thank you very much!"
**[System]: Are you identifying as [Agnostic]? Please note that formally pledging to a religious affiliation may disable certain class options.**
"Just... just disregard everything I've said since I woke up."

**[System]: Acknowledged.**
I take a minute to gather myself, headache slowly fading. I'm about to start investigating my surroundings when I remember what the [System] said.
"Wait a minute... why is [Agnostic] even an option? Aethir said he's the [System Architect] and he's literally a God. He should fix that."
**[System]: Inquiry parameters accepted. Inquiry parameters set as follows: [Bug Fix], [System Architect], [Agnostic]. Escalating Inquiry.**
Nooooooooooo! Stop [System]! BAD [System]!
**Error: Invalid Permissions. [Lore] unable to answer inquiry concerning [System Architect]. Escalating Inquiry. Sending Message to [System Architect].**
No, no, no, no, no, no! Strike that! No message!
**You have received a new message! Say "Yes" to accept!**
"Waahhhh!"
**Invalid response. You have received two new messages! Say "Yes" to accept!**
"No."
**Invalid response. You have received four new messages! Say "Yes" to accept!**
Don't cry Crabby. You got this. Think of the beach. Deep breath, in and out.
"Yes."

Message: Aethir [System Architect] to Crabby McCrabbington I
Contents:
YOU AGAIN!!!!
What has it been, like a week? You know what? Nope... going to be the bigger God here and not say anything. I'm fixing this now. There, it's fixed. Since CHARISMA thought the best way for a crab to speak was to MANIFEST ITS WILL, I'm disabling the [Will-Inquiry] subroutine. You don't get to ask the [System] questions until you reach level 100. If you have a problem you want the [System] to answer, pray about it and be ignored.
JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!

Woo! Dodged an arrow there.

Message: Aethir [System Architect] to Crabby McCrabbington I

P.S. - And stop Breaking my [System]!
But it's not my fault!

Message: Aethir [System Architect] to Crabby McCrabbington I
Contents:
P.P.S - And if you break anything else, I'm coming down there and bringing my [Smite] button!

Noooooo! Not the [Smite] button!

Message: Aethir [System Architect] to Crabby McCrabbington I
Contents:
P.P.P.S - And [Agnostic] is an option because FREE WILL! You'd think the whole, DIVINE REVELATION would have spelled it out for you!
Idiot Crab.
That.... okay that one was fair. A bit rude, but fair.
I waited, tensed for another message. A minute passed and I released my held breath. I think I'm okay now. He said he fixed it right? I guess I should test it...
"Hey [System]! How much grump could a Grumpy God grump if a Grumpy God could grump grump?"
*silence*
Nothing, no responses or crazy gods threatening to [Smite] me. Alright! Things are looking up! I've completed Step One of my five step plan... avoid the [Smite] button! Time to move onto Step Two: Checking out my status.
"Status."
Status Name: Sir Crabby McCrabbington I Age: 8 Months Level: 1 Class: None* Race: Crab (Mundane)* Title: None* Health: 50/50 H-Regen: 0.05/sec Mana: 110/110 M-Regen: 0.12/sec Stamina: 120/120 S-Regen: 0.07/sec Basic Stats Strength: 2 Wisdom: 12 Vitality: 5 Intelligence: 11 Dexterity: 7 Charisma: 12 More...
The first three things I noticed were asterisks next to Class, Race, and Title Categories. The second thing, is that the distorted numbers and characters were gone.
"I guess the gods fixed everything after all.*
I focused on the Class Category and read what appeared.
**************************************
Congratulations!
You have a pending bestowal. Some classes can only be given by others. They can offer a unique and exciting path to power*
*Warning: If you do not meet class requirements, the class will be downgraded to meet your current status.

**************************************
That sounds right up my alley! I can get this class and then retire to the beach in style. Between Water and Earth Manipulation and [Dominion], I imagine just sitting in a giant sand castle and telling strangers to "get off my land!" Then, if they don't, I'll make giant sand claws and throw them in the water.
Hee hee.
With a mental prod, I select "Y."
**[System]: You do not meet the requirements for this class. Tier requirements = Level 75.**
**[System]: Lord of Coasts (III) downgraded to Coastal Knight (II).**
**[System]:You do not meet the requirements for this class. Tier requirements = Level 50.**

**[System]:You do not meet the requirements for this class. Tier requirements = Level 25.**
**[System]: Coastal Squire (I) downgraded to Apprentice of the Coast .**
Huh... I guess I should have paid attention to the warning. That's okay! Keep your head high Crabby! I'll get there eventually! Let's take a look at this Apprentice of the Coast.
Class Name: Apprentice of the Coast Tier: - Description: You have just begun the path to power. Learn of the cutting Waves and rigid Earth. Wield might and magic to [Slice] your enemies. Stats: + 2 to All Stats Per Level Y/N? Req: *Met by higher tier class bestowal
With trepidation filling my claws, I prod the "Y" button.

Ursus Ex Machina
Ozzy was a man of the wild. Raised in a remote village atop the world's mightiest mountain, he'd been taught to respect and revere the natural world. The realm he was born into had been there long before him, and it would remain there long after him. Sure, there was the occasional madman who threatened to destroy it, but such boasts were always empty. No one individual was actually capable of demolishing this beautiful blue-and-green ball Ozzy called home. No matter what terrible magics these villains wielded, they were incapable of causing permanent harm to the environment. Even if the planet was completely devastated, it would recover. Life would find a way to flourish, same as it always had. That was what Ozzy believed from the bottom of his heart, so he never once felt the need to save the world he loved. After all, it was never truly in danger. The world would be fine no matter what. The people were a wee bit endangered, but that was another story altogether. However, what would happen if Ozzy suddenly found himself devoid of his beloved wilds? What would the man do if the realm he knew - one of wonder, magic, and chaos - was replaced with a man-made environment of concrete, industry, and steam? Ozzy could never imagine such a thing happening, and yet that was his new reality. After losing a fateful confrontation with a mad wizard, he and his friends found themselves transported to a strange world so thoroughly alien that every waking moment feels like a fever dream. Separated and scattered to the four corners of this land, each of these adventurers will need to adapt, survive, and overcome if they hope to reunite. They would also need to do so quickly. The sooner they are able to find one another, the sooner they can figure out a way back home and have another crack at putting an end to the villain's plans. Whether such a thing was actually possible in a world with barely any magic in it was a valid concern, but Ozzy had more immediate things to worry about. For instance, why did the air smell like a perpetual forest fire? How did ships sail through the sky as if it were water? And most importantly, was the pavement he was hurtling towards at high speed much softer than it looked? Probably not, but a man could hope.

Jalan Suram : The 100 Fire Holders
"Why us?" Still staring at the unusually stationary fire of the candle he was holding, Agung voiced the questions in our mind. "Out of 2 million people living in this city, why are we the chosen ones?" As if on cue, the eerie laughter of children could be heard above us. Holding our own candle tightly, we resolved to ignore them and continued our discussion. It was a matter of life or death after all. More than half of the initial participants had fallen and the building became more crowded as the result. There were now more ghosts than the living and each step was filled with danger from the unknown. Either we solved all the questions now or we would become another addition to the ghost camp. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was one thing Novita found out after she accepted an invitation to a suspicious event from a seemingly legal company. Crowded didn't exactly mean safe. As more and more variables were added to the dangerous ritual, the higher the risk of death. At the same time, the higher the risk was, the better the rewards for it. But in the end, was it worth it? Note : This series was posted on scribblehub.com under the same name.
