《Friendship Overload》Ch. 78 Sparrow Overkill
Advertisement
While tapping a hole through the armrest of his chair, Ethan took in every facet of the creature.
While most golems looked like rocks stacked on top of each other and stuck together with glue, this one’s appearance was eerily human. There was just so much detail put into its making, from the tight hunting clothes it seemed to wear to its sharp, manly features and short, pointy hair. If not for its exterior that was grey as the stones it was made of, one could have easily assumed it was a living, breathing person.
‘I should get Ethan to paint one someday.’ thought Ana cheerfully. Satisfied with her model level creation, she looked up at her opponent.
“Last chance to give up!” she warned as if the outcome was obvious. Cora’s response was more wind blades shot straight towards her summon.
The tall and slender golem got hit 8 times without even flinching. A few small scratches were left on its body but nothing even resembling damage.
“Bob, get her.” In response to Ana’s order, her summon took on a professional shooting stance and lifted both hands into the air. Soon, a bow made out of stone started forming in its palms.
‘An archer, huh?’ thought Ethan while tapping his fingers.
“Hey, what’s that?” The boy was too focused to even hear Arthur’s question, not that he would have answered it anyway.
“This isn’t an art show, honey!” Cora shouted from above. In her eyes, Ana was controlling and molding the golem, so it would take on the shape of a fancy looking archer. However, the amount of energy needed for something like that was far too much for a mere level one.
“You’re just wasting your mana!”
“And, you’re wasting your breath.” Ana's casual answer was not even loud enough to hear. Like all great sculptors before her, she let her art speak for itself.

As soon as the large bow materialized itself, an arrow followed which gently rested on the string. Of course, even the string was made out of earth. One would think it could not possibly bend, but common sense did not apply to this spell.
Like a veteran archer, Bob pulled and aimed towards Cora. Though she was still convinced it was a farce, the girl ran her circuit in preparation.
“After I dodge your puppet, will you give up the fight?” she asked mockingly.
“I’ll consider it.” Ana answered unconcerned.
Abruptly, the string was released and cut their conversation short. The arrow pierced through the sky at more than twice the speed of anything Ana could have thrown at her opponent. To escape, Cora pushed mana into her boots and desperately flew out of the way.
In that one moment, the girl thought she had won. Unfortunately, as if it were a guided missile, the spear like arrow adapted its trajectory to match its target.
Cora tried to flee further but smashed against the gong. She hurriedly turned around and summoned a storm of wind blades to intercept it. They hit the arrow from all directions, but unlike with Ana’s previous attacks, only a couple of scratches were made.
A moment later, in front of 50 thousand spectators and Last Heaven’s nobility, the coliseum’s gong released its clang alongside the piercing screams of its contestant.

All Stats Random
Un-reality, the greatest game in the century just launched and Chris starts to play it. He wants to change his circumstances, which are through no fault of his own. But fate doesn't let it be that simple. He gets a hidden unique class, but that class has a special ability, one that randomizes all his stats whenever it wants? What? The world truly can't be fair to him. Not even in a game. Now he has to figure out a way to make this odd quirk of his class work. When he smiles, the world loves him.When he laughs, the world fears him. (and that was my stab at trying to imitate those chinese synopses) Regular chapters, once or twice per week. On the weekends usually. I will finish this novel, be it takes 1 year or 2. It will get a proper ending. Afterall, the ending is paramount. Also, the readers might feel rewarded if they look closely while reading. I try to be quite mindful and put in interesting details or things that would come into play later. And, personally i think that reviews on this site might as well be pointless. Unless you know the reviewer and think that you share his views. Your thoughts on a particular thing (like a novel) can differ from others. So, do give it a try before arbitrarily deciding. This is my try to perfect the 'master of all/everything' type of MC, inside a proper, realistic VR world, from a game design perspective and immersion and no convenient 'convert gold to irl currency' button. It is going to be a game first of all. Not a fantasy world overloaden with status screens and skills you can't possibly keep track of. A game with all of the real world aspects to it. Not a cheap fantasy world with shoehorned in stats.

"Leave me alone, JBI." Piper scoffed, as JBI gasped, turning to his camera for a second."No denial!" He said, as Piper rolled her eyes."Just go away!""One last question..." JBI called, still struggling to keep up with Piper as the girl groaned. "Is it also true you're suffering from a crippling depression because you're not over Miss Fabray?"Again, Piper hesitated, having JBI rubbing salt in another wound. Still, she kept on walking, trying not to give him too much of a reaction."Screw you, Jacob..." She mumbled."Another dubious answer!" He said.

I beg to differ that.", I sassed and got out of his grip ready to move out of the room when he pulled me by my elbow and the next second I was pushed on the visitor's chair.He trapped me completely by keeping his palms on the arms of the chair. "I tried to tell you patiently.", I scoffed at his words. Patience and he don't go in a single sentence. He gripped my chin making me look into his eyes."Now listen carefully Miss, I want you for my niece as her babysitter.

I liked the kid since the moment I met her but I hated this man from the moment I gazed into his eyes. "How much?"I frowned."You really think your money can make everyone dance on your tips?""1200 dollars a week."I rolled my eyes making him lean towards me." 1500?""Make it 15000 and still I won't work for you.", I retorted and pushed him. I walked to the door and gave him one glance."Next time when you talk to me, make sure you keep all your richness aside. That's one thing that I never want to see you again, you self-centred CEO.""We shall see."...Brave but lonely.Passionate but sensitive.That's Arielle Summers.
