After killing the duo with one slash, Wilbert had immediately jumped back to ready himself for their counter, but the expected counter never came.
Instead, two lifeless corpses rested on the ground. A neat red line cut across their chests, out of which blood was seeping.
'I just killed two people…' That thought lingered in Wilbert's mind more a few seconds before he shook his head. 'No, not people, monsters. Only monsters could kill a mother and her newborn child and show no remorse.'
Knowing that it was ridiculous to feel guilty about killing two heinous criminals, Wilbert instead turned his attention to what would come next. 'They did not even try to block or defend, as if they do not fear death in the slightest… I suppose that's a side effect of this "respawning".
'Anyway, they should be coming soon.'
Wilbert retreated several metres away and got into a defensive stance. He did not know where they would appear exactly or if they were able to vary where they respawned, so he decided that it was best to remain cautious.
Negligence after a small victory would be a terrible way to die.
Soon, the enemy appeared again. However, it was only the one—the bland-looking man named ajskbdnks.
'It seems because the other man didn't use that "login" spell or skill.'
Without giving his opponent chance to think, Wilbert charged forward and activated [Basic Jab], aiming for the man's head.
[Critical hit.]

After killing the man three times, Wilbert could not help but feel a real sense of fear building up in his heart. 'What kind of monsters can come back to life endlessly? Surely, there must be a limit!'
As he thought that, he sent a sword slashing once more.

'Oh? His level is different now. Do they perhaps have to pay for their respawns with spells? What happens if it reaches zero?'
Upon noticing the difference in the man's level, Wilbert quickly came up with a reasonable theory that was not far from the truth.
'That reminds me, that box with my information said something about a level.'
"Stats," he muttered, and the familiar box opened up in front of his eyes.

After glancing at the box, he thought, 'I'm level 18. Is that why these two can't put up a fight? But that can't be. A person's life and death are not decided by some number.'
Annoyed that he had thought of something that made the lives of humans feel meaningless in his mind, Wilbert closed the box.

'Oh… he's running away.'
While Wilbert had been looking at his stats, ajskbdnks had respawned and started running away.
'Well, no matter.' He dropped his sword and shield to the floor before clicking on the backpack icon and selecting the bow and quiver.
With a deep breath, Wilbert drew the bowstring as his muscles remembered and launched a [Long Shot].

"Fuck this! Some villager is actually spawn trapping me!"
Since they were in different locations, ajskbdnks and DastardlyDashing had slid into the direct messaging channel.
"He's still there? How many times have you died now?"
"I don't know. I've lost count. It should be more than five times."
"And the NPC still hasn't left? Do you think this is a bug?"
"Yeah, it must be." ajskbdnks rubbed his weary eyes as he looked out the window. He took a sip of water from the bottle beside his computer before continuing. "NPCs should lose their aggro—aggro's basically their anger toward a player and how much they want to attack said player—when a player dies."
ajskbdnks sighed. "This really is annoying. I think I'll head off for now. If you want, I can switch onto my main or make another account."
"No, don't worry. I think I'll go off for a bit as well. Want to try again tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I'll try after work. Hopefully we'll be able to start a real quest or something."
"I look forward to it. Thanks for your help so far."
"No prob. See ya."
…
'Hmm… it seems they're not truly invincible. He's stopped coming back after six deaths.'
With a frown, Wilbert sat on the grass next to his equipment as he stared at the spot that the player had came appearing from.
'Although, I don't know if the rate at which he kept dying or other factors affected that. Well, it doesn't matter. I will find out if six deaths is the limit of all of these bastards when I encounter my next one—maybe that will be OldestAndWisest, maybe that will be someone else. But all I know is that I have eliminated one of them.
'Killing is wrong, but on this occasion, the world is a better place for it.'
Feeling pleased with himself, Wilbert lay in the warm, dazzling sunlight. The clean grass surrounding him, the bees buzzing around the flowers that peppered the area, the white, fluffy clouds that floated gently through the sky above him—it felt like the perfect summer's day to Wilbert.
The surroundings showed absolutely no evidence that he had just killed the same man six times in a row.

[Best Fantasy Story Winner at Wattpad Fiction Awards 2016] ? Adventure ? Mystery ? Humor ? Romance ? Systematic, almost scientific Magic ? Strategy in Fights ? Character Development Gallery | Wikia | Official Site | Patreon | Facebook | Twitter ————————————————————————————————————- Summary ————————————————————————————————————- In a world where everyone can use magic, where treasure hunters, alchemists, and warlocks are common professions, and where mage duels are the most popular form of entertainment, Kiel is a "non-mage" - a person who doesn't have the aptitude to use magic on regular basis - until he meets Elaru - a spell breaker of mysterious origin, wielder of the fabled 'Aethernea of Sight' - eyes that can see magic, who claims she can give him the power to become the greatest mage world of Halnea has ever seen. Coerced into binding his soul to hers, Kiel finds himself pulled into a web of secrets, where one wrong step could end in his untimely demise. Who, or what is Elaru Wayvin really? What is her relation to the ruling 15 noble mage families? What is the source of The Ink - a mysterious plague spreading through the continent? What is the Aetherneal bond between them and what has it turned them into? What is the truth behind gods and divine magic? Why has the third race of Halnea - the Ascended, mysteriously disappeared, and what is the connection between the remaining two races? In the search for truth, Kiel and Elaru enroll at the most prestigious University of Magic. Yet, between awkward social events, falling in love, thrilling competitions, blood curling battles, irritating peers, and damnable love rivals, there is little time for studying. And as if avoiding sinister plots from all sides wasn't difficult enough, their new detestable mentor takes them on a voyage into the uncharted forbidden zone filled with unspeakable secrets, ancient riddles, man-eating monsters, and deadly traps. A quest that just might end up changing the fate of the entire world. ————————————————————————————————————- What do readers say about it? ————————————————————————————————————- "Aethernea is my absolute favorite read on wattpad, I love it as much as I love Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments. You have such an amazing way to make the words flow and unbelievable descriptions. Unique characters and a great story line. All the small clues and mystery in the humor and fantasy just makes the book perfect in my opinion. I read all chapters in two days! Less than 48 hours even! I'm REALLY looking forward to the next update, the world of Aethernea is so deep and well thought out, it's beautiful and magical. God I can't believe how creative you are, so many small details with so many families and stories everywhere. Purely fantastical, I admire you." - astro-logical from Wattpad "I love love love Aethernea so much! It is amazing how you created this new world with different creatures, magics, looks, illnesses, and evil! I was blown away by your explanation of the Mana pools and how to weave magic! Simply stunning really! You are one of my favorite authors and Wattpad and I am so glad I stumbled upon Aethernea because it is worth all of my time reading!" - Adriana_V_Blade from Wattpad "I absolutely am loving Aethernea so far. I am certain you belong in the ranks among J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, Suzane Collinings, and many more great and wonderful authors. You opened up a whole new world for me, which only a few great authors have accomplished. While it's true I am pulled into each and every book, few are able to capture me to the point of inescapability. Though, somehow, you have managed this feat. I thank you for this and more! You are a wonderful author and can't wait for more to come!" - daughterofpercabeth7 from Wattpad "WOW! just caught Aethernea in gravity tales! Just when I was getting tired of most xianxia novels this appears and completely blows my mind! I really like the depth and the humorous touch you give the characters and it seems you have the storyline well thought out since you are always hinting about things in the past and the future. It has been such an enjoyable experience that I couldn't stop reading, finishing it in just one day and laughing my way through most of the episodes. But what keeps me so excited for what's coming is the magic system and the professions of the world you are creating.The magic mechanics have such a huge potential! They are simple but at the same time they open so many possibilities. Even though we still only understand the basics of transmutation and augmentation, I expect them to enable fights where there is need of quick thinking and skill, and not just brainless overpower of every opponent. In a way this makes me reminiscent about The Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson, which are one of my favorite series ever. The thing that sets Mistborn apart from any other series is that the mechanics are so well thought out that they could be used to create a super cool triple A video game and I cannot help but hope Aethernea reaches the same level or even surpass it. I really think it has that potential. Really hope this series gets the attention it deserves. As for me, Thursdays and Sundays just got a whole more exciting! =)" - AlexMLion "Your writing is fantastic and riveting, the chapters and character flow so smooth, and it captivates the reader with the many twist and turns that tricks one mind into thinking this is about to happen, when suddenly the exact opposite happens. You truly are in inspirational writer with a brilliant mind that can see and put words into chapters and into this one truly awesome book. Thank you!" - AshleyStaar from Wattpad "I loved this story, such detailed description and accurate words, both Kiel and Elaru completely caught my attention, your writing style is just beautiful and the plot is astounding and it's just the first episode! This kind of fantasy stories are my favourite, it has a lot of magic in it, rivalry and sense of humour." - BlackWhiteD from Wattpad

8 150Yet Another RimWorld (Dropped)
*Fanfiction based on the game RimWorld*A more realistic take of RimWorld, where we follow the pawns that must struggle to survive in yet another Rimworld. Their stories, guided by a particularly playful narrator, will tell the tales of survival, defeat, gains, losses, triumph, and ultimately ruin. Trials faced by people, in places of various circumstances, will be observed and presented to its audience. What will be presented here are insignificant snippets of history, merely few of the innumerable tales and prospects to be found across this wide galaxy; The things we discover from these pawns, so many yet so few. Ultimately, they are just more drama meant for enjoyment, albeit in a twisted way. A/N:This is a fanfiction, based on the game "RimWorld". Using my personal gameplays as a basis for this fanfiction, in addition to some embellishments here and there. Unlike the silly antics that caused grave consequences if you had ever played RimWorld, my rendition will (hopefully) stay more grounded to reality, whereby no one will go beserk and dig up corpses if they can't eat on a table for 3 days in a row. That's all I need to say, you get the point. I'm writing this for fun. So please expect me to be inconsistent. Lastly, I am incredibly grateful to Tynan Sylvester for the game he created, "RimWorld", which is loved by many across the world and it will always remain a special place in my heart. For without his game, my work would not exist.
