《God's war》Recruitment 06: Equipment
Advertisement
With points one, three, and five from my list already done, without taking care of the other three, I can't help but notice that my increased mental Stats also don't stop another problem I have. Once I have found something that interests me, I have a very hard time stopping. Rather, my increased concentration only made it worse.
While I now had a good assessment of my "natural" abilities, it was now time to get myself properly equipped.
The first important thing to note is that, while I was wearing the same pajama I went to sleep with during my first fight, the damage that it had taken during the fight was gone afterward.
That, of course, begs the question of what actually happened and how I could try to exploit that.
I could imagine this to go in several different possible ways, some better for me than others depending on how it influences two main factors.
These two factors are my body and my Skills.
For my body, or more specifically, my avatar, I could see this going in two ways. Either, everything I'm wearing and carrying on my body at the time I go to sleep get's carried with me into the fight. Or, before the first fight, my avatar has been set and I will now always appear to the fight in the same pajama.
As for my Skills, the possibilities are very similar. Either I appear with an empty Pocket dimension when the next fight starts, or I can bring more stuff with me. Though, If I can bring stuff with my ability, there is also the question if it gets restored afterward like my pajama or my injuries.
Of course, the most optimal situation for me would be if the only way to bring extra stuff to the fight were my Pocket dimension. In that way, my utility ability could give me the best advantage against those with purely combat-oriented ones.

Sadly, I highly doubt that things would be that convenient for me. If my guess is right, there should be some kind of way for everyone to bring extra equipment to the fights, at least to a limited degree.
This recruitment tournament seems to have the purpose of finding people with a certain minimum combat potential. In that case, if someone gets an ability that needs some kind of blade to use, it would be stupid to have them lose all their fights because they can't bring a knife.
On the other hand, there was also the possibility of someone bringing a gun. It would matter little how much fire or ice they can control, or how much faster and stronger someone gets if they get angry if they get shot in the head within the first few seconds of the fight.
Actually, that reminded me of my father's hunting rifle. It would give me a huge advantage if I could bring that. While I hadn't been at the shooting range for over a year, I do have a license. I will have to find a good excuse to borrow it when I visit my parents on Wednesday.
Not wasting any more time thinking, I make my way to the kitchen counter and opened the lowest drawer.
Since several years before I moved out, my parents had started collecting all kinds of kitchen utensils if they could get them for free or at a discount, and simply collected everything in a box for me and my sister.
When my sister then discovered her cooking hobby and got her good set of knives, we realized that, over the years, the number of knives in that box had taken on slightly ridiculous proportions. Thanks to that, even after throwing away most and only keeping the best ones, I now have a single drawer in my kitchen full of over twenty different kitchen knives.

Taking out five of the long and thin variety and one big meat-cleaver as you could only see them in trashy horror movies, I threw them all into the portal and continue looking. After a short while of carefully rifling through the collection, I finally find the one I was looking for, the one that comes with a sheath that would allow me to carry it on my belt.
While I had absolutely no idea why someone would want to carry a kitchen-knife on their belt, it would definitely come in handy. Because, if I can carry equipment on my body into the fight, it would allow me to hide my Overskill just a bit longer, potentially giving me a better chance to catch my opponent by surprise.
But while knives were a good start, they could only bring me so far. If things went as I hoped they would, my greatest strength would come from great adaptability through a great variety of different equipments. And that got me thinking. After all, it wasn't like had the convenient hobby of collecting weapons or something like that.
Only when I fell into one of my thinking habits, looking out of the window, did I decide on my next step. While I, sadly, didn't gain some sudden enlightenment, I did remember something that I hadn't thought about since I moved into this apartment building.
Putting on my jacket and shoes, and for the first time since moving in, I went into the garden.
While it wasn't a very big garden, a hundred square meters at best, it was actually quite luxurious for an apartment building in this area to have one at all, and also the reason why so many families lived in my apartment building.
But what I was after wasn't the garden itself. When I first moved in, my landlord had told me that there is a tool shed in the garden which had become a kind of public property after the original owner moved out and left all his tools behind.
Because of that, everyone from the building was allowed to use them, though we would have to make a note if we borrowed something for an extended period of time.
It wasn't like I was expecting anything great, but it was definitely a start.

8 108The Last Journey
A slice of life litrpg story... or is it? It's burning slow, though. Moving on: War comes with a great cost. Lives and time wasted for most part. One could either be run with sword, be poisoned, be bowed, and sometimes meet their end with just a tiny speck of wood. With magic, it becomes even more colorful. From lightning, to worse poison, to hovering rocks, to weird bladed leaves, to whipping roots, and to a lot more odd things easily reasoned with magic. A wonderful creation. But once used to something more than wonder, more than tricks to gather laughs, it becomes worse. War becomes worse. For there is not only blood to be spilled. A particular town almost met the same end. Soldiers geared with swrords and bows came with mounts. Horses burning lush grasses as it cracked boulders and the soil alike with every step. The kind that only war ones could ever do. Even strange wheeled creations that oozed danger were towed, loaded with something meant to destroy. But not once had they acted upon what such devices should've done, nor what an an army is supposed to do. Siege never occurred, as much as a command to war. No. Magic existed so a simple little fire is all the worth the town has. No sword drawn, no arrows nocked, nothing. Just some mana spent and through the ash they march. That was how Nudius saw her end. It came not even as a surprise. She didn't have the moment to fully register what occurred before she found herself in an empty dark space. Life lost, time spent. All from a fire that had not even touched her. But she knew very well that it was magic. Something she wished to have and strived for to have. Yet it seemed that none of it would matter now. Nudius was well aware of what the color around meant, of the odd situation, of the unfeeling state of her being. It was death and that was it. She didn't have to worry or dream further. Although there wasn't what she truly wanted in what death to her is, but at least, Nudius was comforted to what she believed death is. Rest. But little did she know there's something more than that empty space. It wasn't only the promise of rest, but was also more than she could ever hope for. Another chance at life. Another chance to dream. ***Tags are there just in case. You never know! Umm... HI-MI-TSU. Story blurb+: This is slow burn, quite slice of life story about a girl learning magic. All the while as she fatten herself up. So yeah, progression fantasy. But there's Litrpg! Numbers! Magic! Spells! And of course! There's something more. But read on ahead, please. Oh yes. Plot! There is, too. Disclaimer: The cover isn't made by me. Just layered it with a text. I got it from a free website, if I correctly recall. I'll see to it. (Haven't worked on it.)

8 232Summer Anarchy (Permanent Hiatus)
Izuku is fed up. After months of dealing with off-putting behaviour, the strain of an abusive relationship and the heavy neglect of a once looked up to mentor, the final straw is pulled when Izuku's quirk is taken away. He leaves to America, to reconcile with old faces and start anew. 10 months later, when Class 1-A makes a trip to California for the summer, they think of it as nothing more than a great time to relax and wind down from their hero training. They certainly don't expect to run into the familiar gaze of viridian eyes. Viridian eyes that left without so much as a 'goodbye'. Safe to say it's absolute ANARCHY. ***- Class 1-A and All Might bashing- LGBTQ+ & poly relationships- TW: homophobia; violence; abuse; self-harm; anxiety; underage drinking/drug use- Izuku x maleOC(s)(none of the artwork/ MHA characters is mine)Permanent Hiatus/Discontinued as of Dec 30, 2021
