《Spartan》Chapter 7: Making Classmates fly
Advertisement
Harry saw Thor hit hit the sack from the corner of his eye, or rather he smashed the sack.
Harry was feeling conflicted, he wanted to save the king and his people because it was the right thing to do. But whenever he looked at Thor he felt angry at Thor, and himself.
It first started on the day that he and his friends were almost hit by an out of control van, Harry had his eyes closed, so he thought that it was a miracle they were all fine. He asked the others if they saw anything, but Lucas and Akane dodged the question. This hurt Harry because he thought his friends trusted him, but he decided to believe in them and not question further.
When they were summoned to another dimension Harry didn't really know what to feel, he knew that he should be feeling confused, but he only felt excitement and a bit of fear.
Then when he saw Thor standing tall and squaring down against the scariest looking person who summoned them, he felt it again, jealously.
When he got his spirit weapon he was really happy, it felt like it was his everything.
New ability gained:
Sword of the hero:
This is the legendary sword that is said to be the bane of all demons and evil beings. As the chosen one grows stronger he will unlock more and more of the swords holy vanquishing power. Only the chosen hero can inherit this sword from the creator.
Harry looked at his new weapon with sparkling eyes, it was a short sword with an extra thin blade, for added speed.
Brono: "Oh, is that the sword of the hero. Well done kid, that's a very powerful weapon when used correctly."
Hearing this praise Harry felt a nice warm feeling in his chest, 'it's nice to be the hero' he thought to himself happily.
But after looking at Thor too see what he got, that warm feeling died instantly.
Thor's body was enveloped in a bright dark Crimson light, whereas only Harry's right hand was enveloped in a standard white light.
Then as the light receded, it revealed intimidating looking armour that covered his entire body, head to toe. As Harry looked form his sword to Thor's armour, he couldn't help but feel that his sword was a little lacking in comparison to Thor's armour.
Then, as if rubbing salt into his wounds Brono exclaimed.
Brono: "Holy shit! Is that a spirit armour ability! And a full plated armour at that, that kid is amazing!"
Harry gritted his teeth and gripped his shining sword even harder.
Thor woke up surprisingly comfortable on his shattered bed, despite the horrific nightmare he had just come out of. It was a memory of the time they set him on fire and waited to see how long he would stay conscious.

Thor begrudgingly got up and looked around drowsily. And he noticed a few things.
One, he was no longer wearing his armour.
Two, everyone else was sitting in a group and chatting amongst themselves.
And three, Thor was hungry.
Thor decided that his stomach could wait a few moments so he tried to figure out how to call forth his armour.
'Hmm, guess I'll just try the classic way.' He thought.
'Armour Up!'
Nothing happened.
'Armour on'
'Come forth thy Spartan armour'
'Armour?'
Nothing continued to happen.
Thor then took a different approach.
Thor: "*cough* Armour up *cough*"
A few of the other students turned around after hearing Thor try and discreetly summon his armour, but turned back thinking that they were hearing things.
'AAAUURGH, FUCK ME'
Then a small message appeared in Thor's vision, he looked at it to enlarge it.
New message:
Hey kid, it's too pitiful to watch you. And I might have forgot to tell you how to summon and dispel the armour....
Just say 'Polemòs Spartan' and it should appear.
To dispel the armour just say 'Thánatos Spartan'.
And don't expect any more help from us, from this point on lad there will be no advice for you, at all.
-Ares
'Ah well fuck it, might as well.' Thor thought optimistically.
Thor: "Polemòs Spartan"
Then Thor was engulfed in a red glow, which moulded into his armour. At this a few of the classmates turned around and looked at Thor with an amazed look, some even clapped.
Thor paid them no heed.
Thor: "Thànatos Spartan"
Thor's body was once again engulfed in the red glow, which receded back into his body, revealing a Thor to be in his school clothes.
Just as this process finished, the door to their room was swung open and a masculine man in armour walked in.
Manly man: "Alright maggots, it's time for me to mould you all into weapons of war! Follow me, step to it."
The class got over their initial shock and followed him out of the class room, with Thor following in tow.
They walked through various large and grand looking corridors before they came out onto a large courtyard that had a few scarecrows and weapons on racks scattered around. In the centre a large circle had been constructed with some sort of red chalk.
When they reached the circle they met the females of their classroom standing in a group next to the circle. There were a few heartfelt greetings and hugs, but every one quickly gathered themselves and turned back to the manly guy.
Manly guy: "okay maggots, my name is Captain Cross and I'm here to train you. Let's get right down into business, everyone either say or think in your puny little minds, 'show status' "
Thor thought about how this was similar to a game he once played, then followed the captains orders.

'Show status'
Status of Thor Spartan:
Strength: 500
Agility: 350
Wisdom: 100
Abilities:
Spartan Armour:
The armour that can only be worn by a true warrior, a Spartan. This armour has the ability grow stronger with the user and evolve. The armour cannot be stolen or destroyed from existence as it is apart of the users soul, the strength and appearance of the armour also depends on the users soul. The armour can be summoned at anytime.
Hyperion strength:
You have Hyperion modified muscles, allowing you to perform large feats of strength and also makes your bones, muscles, ligaments and other parts of your body significantly tougher. Hyperion Strength also removes the limiter on your body, allowing you to grow stronger and stronger through the trial of deadly life threatening combat.
Hyperion vision:
Hyperion vision greatly improves the effectiveness of your eyes, allowing you too see further and in greater detail. Also causes your hand-eye coordination and reflexes to improve greatly.
Hyperion Nervous system:

Hyperion Brian stem:
Your Hyperion brain stem is upgraded to sustain the other parts of your body that have been fused with the artificially constructed Hyperion element. Can also be sent into overdrive during life threatening situations, causing awareness and muscles control to also go into overdrive, can cause serious dehydration and exhaustion when activated.
'Close status'
Cpt Cross: "okay maggots, now that you've looked at your status, prepare to get dirty. Also, most of your statuses should be around 20 to 30 in mostly everything, this is considered very high considering that you haven't gone through any major combat training yet."
Harry: "excuse me sir, my stats are all at 50."
Akane "mine are all at 40"
Mia/Amelia: "our wisdom is at 60"
Cpt Cross: "well good fucking work maggots, that's actually very high. Makes me kinda jealous."
Thor kept quiet about his stats, if he told them they might go a bit crazy. And besides, they didn't need to know what probably won't hurt them.
Cpt Cross: "Mkay now boys, take off your shirts."
After hearing this a few of the boys questioned and others complained. Thor just waited for an answer.
Cpt Cross: "stop whining like a bunch a' sissies and take em off. You need to learn what it is like to fight naked, without armour or protection."
He then pointed to Thor and Harry.
Cpt Cross: "you two, strip off your shirts and get in the circle."
Harry stripped off his shirt and walked into the circle, a few of the girls blushed deep red and a few of the boys whistled. Harry had a light six pack on his stomach and a slightly feminine body that had little muscle, which was considered quite handsome back on earth.
Cpt Cross: "Ya look like I could snap ya like a twig, skinny boy."
Harry grew slightly angry at Cross's interjection.
After Harry's little show Thor walked up to the circle and took off his loose shirt. Exposing his Evident eight pack, biceps thicker than Harry's thighs and muscle packed shoulders. His muscles bulged but don't so much that it would be a hindrance in battle, just enough to protect his vitals and bones. And covering his body were jagged and straight scars, crisscrossing mall over his muscles.
Normally these scars would have been healed by his regenerative abilities, but apparently he was mentally stopping the regeneration, the scientists said it was due to the trauma he received from 'some sort of mysterious treatment' . But it didn't hinder him in battle so they left him like that.
The girls and boys went silent and stared at Thor, wide eyed and slack jawed. Akane was blushing furiously and trying desperately to hide it, but failing miserably.
Cpt Cross: "Now THAT, is what I call a man, twig boy, try not to piss yourself. Okay now you two will be fighting each other bare handed, I picked you two because you two were the strongest from what I could gather visually, the winner will fight everyone else one by one until he loses. You are allowed to break bones and dislocate joints, but no killing. START."
Harry instantly charged straight at Thor, wasting no time. Thor just calmly stood there, his chest bare, waiting for Harry.
Harry looked at Thor who didn't even bother to guard his chest with anger, and leaped at him swinging his fist around in a powerful blow.
Thor still didn't move, and the class was starting to cringe and get ready for the coming impact, they knew that Harry was a black belt in karate and was pretty prominent in a fight.
Harry's fist met Thor's solar plexus with a *CRAAACK*, they both paused. Until Harry started screaming, staring at his shattered wrist.
Thor shot out a hand and grabbed Harry by the throat, then lifting him off the ground with one hand and hurling him 20 metres until the screaming Harry smashed straight into a scarecrow, rebounding off it with a thud and hitting the dirt.
Everyone went slack jawed and stared at Thor, who was calmly looking at Harry that was in a mangled heap on the ground.
Thor then turned to the others and said in a deep menacing voice.
"Who's next?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you were wondering 'Polemòs' is Greek for 'War'
And 'Thánatos' is also Greek for 'Death'
So much Greek culture! Hooray for learning!
Also have fun and please comment below on what kind of weapon/weapons you would want Thor to use, or of course he could always go bare fisted, which is always cool.

8 445Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
