Chapter 27
Once the party was reading up. Dave was first to initiate the combat as he used {Stampede}.
The moment he entered the aggro range of the Golden Panther, it awoke and growled at the incoming Dave.
However, it failed to dodge and was struck down with Stampede.
[-1230Hp!]
The damage amount was insane! Due to stampeded dealing twice the damage of the wielded weapon it was normal and the monster was stunned at the same time.
Dave struck down with his sword after that and instantly used Twin Strike as more damage was exerted.
The panther relied on his agility, so it lacked defensive abilities and defense in general.
[-680]
[-420]
The monster was taking a huge amount of damage before it could even do anything.
Dave didn’t let up on his advantage as he used {Destructive Smash} prolonging the Stun effect by another second and at the same time letting his followers line up to start their attacks.
[-400]
That was the damage from destructive smash alone. And the undead following Dave began their assault landing about hundreds of damage points per hit.
The Panther was finally able to awaken from the stun effect, but Dave used a Death grip.
{Resisted}
Dave could only sigh as it was yet again resisted, an ability that relied on luck was not something to rely on.
The Panther that had lost almost half its Hp struck with its paw. But Dave didn’t wish to take the hit head-on. So he used {Block} and immediately followed with a {Counter}
[-360]
Another decent amount of damage was dealt with the panther as it was destabilized.
Dave struck down once again with his sword dealing another good amount of damage.
[-662]
The panther was incensed! It never managed to even touch Dave and it was already on the brink of death.
A panther-like this would usually have several skills, but the skill rotation of Dave made it unable to use any of them. Until now.
All feline creatures in the game have a basic skill called {Maul} it would deal a fixed amount of damage and would bleed the target for a percentage of their max hp.
The moment the Panther was about to jump at Dave’s neck. He used Rising Strike.
{Rising Strike} deals 100% weapon damage and pushes the user the meters backward rendering them invincible during the animation.
Dave managed to time it correctly, Lading a decent amount of damage of [720] then falling back and widening the gap once more.

The archers and Casters had a bit of a low casting time. So the Panther was still able to barely survive, but now it was on its last leg. Both literally and figuratively.
The panther jumped forward trying to go for one last desperate attack. Even a scratch on that ugly undead’s face would let the Panther feel a bit of comfort in its death.
Too bad Dave would not let it.
[Block] Was already off cooldown and he used it canceling the momentum of the Panther and smacked down with his sword
[-690]
You have Slain an enemy.
+24 500 XP
Level Up.
One of your Undead had managed to level up
Hidden Bonus
+15 Contribution points.
Your Ring’s level had reached level 20.
You still lack a certain condition to access the second part of the Inheritance quest.
Condition unmet.
Level 150
Dave found it amazing! Not only was he able to level up using the monsters. Even one of his followers managed to level up. So indeed he could easily level up while fighting neutral monsters that don’t belong to the evil faction.
But what about the ring? Dave knew that inheritance equipment had 5 seals. Every one of them can be unsealed once the ring levels up 10 levels. It is much easier to level the ring but the quest is really difficult.
As for another problem. Dave could not rush in blindly and start the level 20 quest. He has yet to reach the required Level. And it looks like it will take a while. However, with the help of the small party of the undead. It should be much faster than any other adventurer who is going solo.
One of your followers had dropped
Golden Panther’s hide (Rare crafting material)
Golden Panther’s Fang X2
Golden Panther’s Claws X4
23 copper coins.
“Ah, it dropped items. But why did they appear in my inventory?” asked Dave. That was rather strange indeed even if Dave was the one that landed the last strike. The drops could not be his and his only, he was considered a monster and is not protected by the party’s loot picking rules.
Yet one of his undead just moved forward, grabbed the items and Dave found them in his inventory. Quite strange but really useful.
“Alright Let's move forward!” said Dave but sadly only the crackling of bones could be heard out of his mouth.
The undead didn’t say anything as they followed Dave suite.

As for the undead that leveled up, it was the sole Ghoul in Dave’s party. It became slightly bigger. And looked a bit different than before. If one didn’t stare at it for a long period of time, one would not notice the change.
Dave didn’t think much of the change. As it was one of his ‘party’ members noticed the small difference once it leveled up. Even its 2500 Hp, became 2700. So this would mean that it really was growing. How much would it grow though? Would it also be able to rank up?
Dave didn’t feel the need to answer that question. What he wanted was to make sure that he won’t miss out on this opportunity. He needed to level up as fast as he could, and in this monster-infested Hill, he could do so.
Another solitary Golden Panther was found in another opening of the hill. Strangely the information above the Panther would indicate that it was a king of the mountain, so how can there be more than one in a small hill?
“Let's get it boys!” said Dave as he initiated the fight the same way as before.
In another place, there were two guys that were still staring at each other dumbly.
Mainly it was No Tits no Life. And Can’t touch this.
“What the heck just happened?” said No tits asking Can’t touch this to explain.
“Like hell would I know, aren’t you the train? You got your ass handed to you by some bunch of undead!” he said refusing to believe what just happened.
“Alright, I guess we can’t take down that undead, but let's just call our Guildmaster first.”
Can’t touch this and No Tits were part of a guild named Arkadia. They were a small guild, which the guild master was a level 360. It was barely the average level of players in the game at this point in time.
The guild Arkadia’s Headmaster was shocked once he saw the footage of the Bearded skeleton that was recorded by the two of them while they were fighting.
“Where is that place?” asked The headmaster
“Northen side of Kimulka City. Western borders” Said No tits no life
This palace fell under the jurisdiction of the devastators. And so Arkadia guild had no right to go in and do anything without their consent. They even had to pay a fee to access the region to level up their players. That was something that was agreed upon by several guilds in the past. Where new players have to pay a sum of the money to gain Experience. And at the same time be able to remain safe within the Exp region. Other pk players would usually attack others while they are in the midst of fights. And in doing so they could ruin their chances at gaining another level and be forced to start from scratch. With the Devastator's protection. No Pk was allowed in their region, however, every activity of any guild must be reported to the Sub-guilds of the devastators.
Now Arkadia’s Guildmaster felt a tinge of greed. If he were to divulge the existence of the bearded Skeleton that made a mess in the demonic monastery that time. He might be rewarded, but if he was the one to kill it then the Undead event might be initiated while he could gain some benefits from the system.
Arkadia’s Guildmaster knew that if he was to personally go to that place he will be pulling some attention to himself. It was a low-level area what would a Guildmaster need to do there anyway?
“Alright, keep the information to yourself I will give you some good stuff later. Go back to the hill and try to locate the bearded skeleton. I will send You something to use once you are there” said the Guild leader addressing No tits no life.
The two low-level players went back to the hill and began their climb, looking for the undead that killed them.
It took a while but they finally found what they were looking for. It was Dave who just managed to end the life of yet another Panther.
Dave didn’t notice the presence of the two guys. But something strange soon happened. A golden light glowed right behind the two and another person appeared.
It was the Arkadia guild master.
He used an expensive item shop, called “Anti-bully”
It was a simple item that would summon another player to the user’s location. But it had a range limit. The summoned player needs to be at least 100Km close.
Once Dave turned around, his face turned white.
It was a level 360 player…

blacklight
So here’s the deal: my name is Kihri Vyas, and I’m dead. (That’s not really important, it happened ages ago, but it’s good to have the context.) Anyway, me and my sister Zarah (the only person who can see or hear me) have basically been on our own since I kicked the bucket, surviving on the streets of Kaila and sort of just being miserable and bored and tired a lot. I mean, I haven’t, cause I’m dead, but she has. It sucks, but that’s business as usual for us. What isn’t B-A-U is that a bunch of other homeless folks have been disappearing in the last few months, and some of them have been turning up with anatomically-improbable, but extraordinary fatal, injuries. Cops don’t give a shit, of course, and my sister’s a boneheaded bleeding heart, so we’ve been investigating them ourselves. And, well, we’ve found a bunch of weird shit. Stuff made of solid light, ghost attack dogs, people glowing black, somehow, some kind of living robot… Actually, you know what? It’s probably easier if you see for yourself. blacklight is a modern fantasy story it's not about being gay but rest assured its gay as fuck nevertheless it updates fridays at 2 p.m. AEST on its own site at https://spectrochroma.wordpress.com/ Chapters are uploaded here one week after they finish on the main site.
8 79Karl
This story follows a young man, Karl, as he is abruptly reborn in another world as a goblin without explanation. He struggles to find out why it happened to him as he explores a world that is both unnervingly familiar and yet still strange. *** I have given this story several content tags that may not fit the early chapters, such as litrpg. It will take a few chapters for those elements to be introduced.
8 211The Devil's Chosen
Tobias lives the life everyone wants... though that's only on the outside. At home, he faces abuse and awful, unloving parents. That is, until the fateful day when he dies.
8 114Despondent Divinity
There exists a Great Seal which split the world in two, one half ravaged by the Darkness, the other a safe haven of Light. Since the collapse of the old world, 20,000 years have passed, and the world watches on as their only protection from the Plague of Plagues slowly dissipates. Only the strong may survive the oncoming Demon horde, and the forgotten prince, Jack Calmira, fears he may not have what it takes. In a world where weakness is punished by death, what are weak men to do? Author's Note: Expect a chapter or two every month, but I'll get faster eventually. This story isn't a Wuxia, but it has a lot of eastern influence. The MC isn't OP and is flawed. Less action, more character driven. Constructive criticism would be appreciated as it's my first story. Chinese culture has inspired a lot of the novel, but much of it is an amalgamation of different cultures, some made up and some not. Think Xianxia + Shounen with a mix of western and eastern fantasy elements.
8 205The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
