《Friendship Overload》Ch. 21 The Right Moment to Strike
Advertisement
Arthur’s surveillance was quite uneventful, for a few days at least. For some reason he couldn’t comprehend, Ethan was using kitchen knives as weapons. Even weirder, every one of his strikes was a sure kill. The girl, Ana, was also impressive though still rough around the edges.
They dealt with demon beasts while Oliver gathered herbs. The spear father gave him was wasted on him.
All was well on their first 4 trips. Then, on the 5th day, they were ambushed by a horde of low leveled goblins. Arthur watched from a tree, ready to intervene at a moment’s notice, when giant wolves ambushed the ambushers.
It was a mess of epic proportions, so he could only hide and wait it out. Fortunately, the trio was hidden within a pile of dirt, at least for now.
After every last goblin was killed and most of them were eaten, the pack’s leader finally made his entrance. It was a terrifying existence, more than twice the size of its peers.
While walking lazily, its head turned left and right as if analyzing the scene. Then, it saw the mound where the trio had hidden. With one swipe of its paw, the mound was destroyed along with several trees behind it.
‘No!’
It took Arthur all his strength to stay still. Fortunately, there was no blood. Although the wolf struck the very bottom of the mound, only soil was sent flying.
‘Thank God…”
While Arthur was heaving a sigh of relief, the alpha turned around towards its pack. Suddenly, the wolves began gathering goblins in their maws, and 7 others assembled in front of their leader.
‘How are they communicating?’ wondered Arthur. There were no growls or signs that might indicate a language.
Once the packs’ maws were full of goblins, the Alpha stood up. It bobbed its head as if to nod, then turned around and disappeared into the forest. Most of the pack followed in the same direction.

Only the 7 remained and started sniffing around their surroundings. Soon, they caught a scent and ran in a certain direction. Arthur took a pill and gave chase.
After about 100 feet, the wolves stopped to sniff a small hole in the ground. 50 feet further, there was another.
‘Oliver, you dumbass. You went into the forest without pills to mask your scent?’
Arthur’s fears were soon confirmed when the trio rose up right under the pack’s snouts. He wanted to interfere then and there, but Ethan managed to create an opening by killing one of the wolves.
‘With a God damn Kitchen knife!?’ Arthur once heard that commoners’ bread was hard as bricks, but this was ridiculous.
The 3 didn’t waste their opportunity and ran like the wind. Yet, how could teenagers who’ve just learned about mana outrun demon beasts 2 levels above them?
Arthur quickly made up his mind and jumped from his spot.
‘If I don’t do something now, it’s over.’
His calculations were correct, since right as he was about to attack, one of the wolves caught up to the group. Arthur rapidly switched targets. He stopped his sword midway and forcefully swung it in another direction.
‘Aura blade!’
Three large blades of mana split from the sword’s tip and struck the wolf in its snout.
“I’ll cover you, so keep going!”
With those words, one more youth had joined the fight.

8 1027Trashy story ! v1.5
Author: I've made alot of mistakes in my plot, I've relied on force to do it naught. Where does quality go? When you give up patience for speed though? This is a story I will begin, Hopefully this will make your hearts sing! There's not much I do that is right, But I will enjoy writing it this night. So those of you who will cheer me on, Or not i'll be happy to sing you a song! A song in text! Wish me luck next! - authors (singular) Trashy story v1.5: starto! Serious synopsis: Hey everyone it's the author here (Not my character named "Author" or "Also author") I'd like to introduce to you my new book "Trashy story"! So you're proboaly wondering what this "Trashy story" is about, well wait no longer I shall tell you! (Or try to sound cool as I tell you nothing.) This story will be written entirely in poem style assides from the author notes (Which are in itself a out of character in character commentary of the story.) With this type of format I hope to talk about things which are commonly overlooked in novels, and or things which are blaringly obvious yet often ignored! In the earlier version of this novel I had gone over things such as how the conditions of a fantasy world may force bandits to do what they do, and also the effects of killing a leader will cause! Even if the leader is a tyrant a power vacuum makes life a living hell, and often more of a living hell than before. This story was written on qidian as well but I felt like I was rushing too much on the writing (As qidian is use to crazy release rates) so I hope to port it over to here as I rewrite problamatic chapters. Said chapters may be updated on qidian once I find a good foothold to improve the plot again. Well thankyou for reading this far down on the synopsis, I'm not sure why you've read so far down but thankyou! I hope you will enjoy "Trashy story" v1.5 as much as I enjoyed writing it! "Trashy story" v1.0 : 46 chapters (24 not counting side storys) "Trashy story" v1.5: rewrite starting at chapter 35 (21 not counting side storys) You may be wondering why half of the novels publication so far (as of writing this synopsis) is side story (Bleh... filler!) Well that is because the side stories are where I develop most of the world building. (They really are only called side stories because they follow the side characters and antagonist) Note: The origional novel (V.1) can be found on webnovel... Howeverrrrr I will reupload every "Okay" chapter up to the breakoff point here as well. Proof of me moving over to royal road (And not shamelessly stealing chapters) can be found in the latest chapter "Temporary haitus: Partial rewrite") V.1: Link V.1.5: You're looking at it (Well atleast I think you are!) (Hosted on royalroadl)

8 210Sick - An Irondad Story
"I looked over at my usually gallant father, who had dried tears streaking his face. I felt awful, not because I was in pain, but because I made my father heartbroken. I never wanted him to feel this pain." Or, Peter's battle with a terminal illness that will destroy so much more than himself. This was a school project, so I had to cut some real MCU things out, but other then that the names stay the same. 06/20/2022 AN: Hey guys. This story is five years old at this point. That's pretty crazy. While I have moved on to other fandoms in that time, it's great to see people interacting with this. I'm not sure how well it holds up, especially with Creep by Radiohead being in it (idk what I was thinking lmfaoo), but I'm glad to see that some people still enjoy it. Have a good one. :)
