《Rise of the Undead Legion》Close Shave
Advertisement
Dave used [Immortal Apparition] and teleported himself ten meters ahead, dodging the center of the explosion. Yet the sun-sized Fireball exploded with splash-damage.
If the splash even touched Dave it would turn him to cinders. So he used [Bastion] gaining immunity for 3 seconds and withstanding the fire splash-damage.
The area surrounding Dave melted to hot magma. Dave used [Death's Descent] right after the effects of [Bastion] ended. And jumped down with the explosive effects of the skill away from the hot ground.
You have left the Overheated Area.
Your HP no longer decreases.
Dave took a deep breath when he looked at the colossus of fire that emerged from the volcano.
Having left its aggro range, Dave was thankful for his many escape skills and continued the descent.
"What the hell was that thing!" Dave muttered to himself.
The flavor text on that Chaos Entity said that It supports the fire in the underworld, killing It would halt the flow of magma and fire, and perhaps be a great hindrance to the Ash-King. But its power is too great for even the Undead Legion to take on.
Dave thought of the Sworn Stalwart that he defeated that day, and remembered that there were many others like it under the Ash-King's Service. They all lived in magma. And if the support of fire is cut down from them, they might lose power or at least be a great hindrance to them.
Yet Dave didn't dare have the thought of taking on the Chaos Entity, it was too strong. And his assumptions were baseless and only speculations. So he disregarded that train of thought and headed toward the foot of the Volcano.
When Dave finished his descent, he met the four Dunlords that he left.
"My lord, I presume your task was a success," said The dunlord that carried Dave all the way here.

"Yes, Let's go." Said, Dave, as he jumped on the back of the Dunlord.
The Dunlord didn't say anything and headed back to the Fortress where the fight between the Undead and the Demons was still unfolding.
"My lord, what was that creature?" asked the Dunlord as it rushed rapidly through the open terrain.
"That was a chaos entity, its strength is unfathomable, nothing we can take on right now. We can just leave it alone."
The Dunlord nodded and kept heading forward.
After thirty or so minute, Dave saw several corpses littering the place.
"Hmm?" Dave's gaze wandered and noticed that there were only corpses of the Demon-Knights.
"So many died…"
"They all deserve Death for challenging the might of the Undead Legion." Said the Dunlord Carrying Dave.
"What is your name?" asked Dave.
"Hmm, I go without a name." replied the Dunlord.
"Oh, What about I give you a name?" asked Dave.
"That would be an honor," said the Dunlord.
Dave searched through his mind for a suitable name. But knowing his own terrible naming ability he bluntly said
"Stinger!"
Dave didn't notice the slight twitch of the Dunlord's mouth. And said
"T-Thank you for the honor," said Stinger.
The other Dunlords all suppressed a smile and continued following Dave.
The lava flow already returned to normal, and the moat was revitalized with lava.
Corpses of Demon-Knights littered the place. And they all converged at a point near the moat. This is where the Undead and the Demon Knights had their last stand.
With the resurrection Spell of the Ash-king ending, the Demon Knights all fell on the ground.
Sadly, they were not lootable, otherwise, Dave would have taken everything in sight.
The fight at the gate of the fortress was still raging on.

Dave spotted Samael fighting several Demonic existences at the gate.
"The field boss is already dead?" Dave asked himself as he didn't notice the presence of the powerful demon boss.
The fight should end soon.
Gazing at the undead, he saw that they were unfaltering and unrestrained fighting the Demons at the gate.
The undead didn't fear Death and gave them all fighting. The numbers on the Undead's side played a huge factor deciding the victory of the legion over the Demons.
Dave noticed two suspicious looking Doom Knights fighting several demons at once.
"Oh, its Gale the Broken Blade and Orn the Knight slayer…"
These two undead would swirl, twirl and attack the demons that were much more numerous than them.
At once Orn grabbed the hand of Gale and threw him like a bolt, whereas Gale pointed his broken greatsword forward piercing the head of a Taurus demon on a rampage and pinning him to the wall, dead!
Jumping from the Demon's head while pulling the blade, the demon's skull gushed out a fountain of blood and gore.
Gale then started smashing, breaking and slashing at the demons near him.
The fight turned to an open field massacre as the Demons' numbers started decreasing at a fast rate.
"The fight should end soon," said Dave

Harmless Sweetie (Rewritten)
*UPDATES EVERY MONDAY AND FRIDAY, SOMETIMES MORE IF I DON'T HAVE SCHOOLWORK. **This is tagged as comedy but I have a really stupid and peculiar sense of humor so yeah. "That's an eldritch horror." "No it's not, it's a frog." "Why does it have ten eyes and eight rows of teeth, not just that but why does it just perpetually scream with the voices of the ones whose mind it has eaten." "I'm just not that good at anatomy." *** Clailip Diancia, the tiny boy who dances along the threads of fate woven by a wicked witch. Not knowing of the plans of the witch that once scorched the lands, and unknowing of the abyss that beckons him forth. This harmless sweetie watches the stories of those around him. Ever unconscious of the turning loom of fate, always oblivious of the stories, legends, and tapestries of heroes that revolve around him as he goes, as he dances, and as he prances, leaving myths and rumours wherever he might set foot in. But as he is unaware of those whose fates have intertwined with his, he is also blind to the soul-piercing stares of the Abyss, ever calling to him.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
