"Oooh!" That fight netted me three level ups! Wait why is my health full? Does it get refilled with each level up?
Correct
No reward for that one eh? Probably cause too many people figured out before me. But what happened to the injury on my chest?
It's gone! All praise Proficio Healing! Banzai!
Anyway, 25 unused stat points is pretty good. Alright, 'Add 15 to Agility and 10 to Dexterity'
I don't feel much different?
System are you cheating me?
-1 Wisdom
I am sorry oh wonderful system overlord.
Sarcasm aside so the system punishes back talk, quite the dictator there.
Now onto skills. 'Inspect skill Axe Mastery'
Axe MasteryA skill related to your proficiency with the AxePassiveLevel1 [12%]+15% damage while using an Axe
Minor correction on usage of Axe
That's pretty plain, but the minor correction will come in handy.
'Inspect Berserk'
BerserkA skill when activated makes you lose all reasoning for extra damageActiveLevel1 [0%]-90% to Wisdom and Intelligence
+60% to Strength, Agility and Dexterity
-20% to Fortification
That is pretty crippling for Warrior classes who don't have a lot of Int & Wis to begin with. Wis not so much for me.
Wait classes? Do they exist in the system?
Classes are unlocked from Level 10 onwards. Your class is decided from various factors including:TitlesStatsSkillsPersonality
Sweet classes! Personality? So if I'm cheerful I can't become an Assassin? That sucks.
Right. Upsie Daisy. Time to kill some Walkers. With that I can become level 10 and get my class.
The Walking Dead were even easier to kill than the Goblins especially with my 31 Agility. I made short work of them. I was now level 9 with 20% of the XP needed for the next level. I begin rooting through the apartments, I find a large hiking backpack which reminds me is there an inventory? 'Inventory'

InventorySpace Available: 30 Kilo's
So the Inventory is done by weight not slots. Bummer.
I throw preservable food into the inventory along with a pack of bottled water I found. Time for the next floor. My apartment is on the 3rd of 5 floors total. On the second floor I see two Goblin Scouts, 4 walkers, and two slightly thinner walkers.
'Inspect'
Running DeadLevel11Health80/80StatusN/AUnlike the Walking Dead these corpses are capable of running(duh). They don't hit as hard, but are faster.
So we have 8 enemies total. I would prefer to fight them in smaller groups. I take out a can of food from my inventory and crouch at the stair well. I quickly fling it towards the goblins. As they screech I'm glad the Zombies can't hear cause if they could I was screwed. Proving the Goblins were really retarded they ended up stumbling down the stairs in the anger for having food thrown at them. Now this is too easy. 1 chop. 2 chop.
Fatal Hit
Fatal Hit
The Runners and Walkers are too close to lure them so I guess I gotta bite the bullet, since I already know sneak attacks are worthless cause of my fucking aura. As one of the Gob scouts had a better axe than my current one I pick it up, while aiming my rusted one at a Runner.
*Ding*
Gained SkillAxe Throw
Pretty self explanatory, but the throw didn't kill the Runner. It did do sizable damage but now it was just pissed. It sprinted at me after alerting the other stiffs. Hayai! Before I knew it it was upon me flurrying hits on me.

Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! That thing took out more than a quarter of my health in 4 attacks! Fucking descriptions!
I can't keep up with it's speed I'm gonna have to use Berserk!

"[Berserk]!"
Once I shouted out the ability, everything seemed to become so simple. Blood, flesh, blades, murder, slaughter. All these things are just another necessity, another event on the road of life. All the while thinking this my body tore through the Walkers and runners while screaming for more slaughter. My body ran upstairs while leaking tremendous blood lust. On the third floor was the same as below, more corpses, more targets, more blood .
Before I knew it I had arrived before the stairs to the roof. Through the door I saw a monstrosity of flesh that put Frankensteins monster to shame, it had cracks in it's multicolored skin which oozed blood, it didn't seem bothered by it though. It's body oozed of slaughter and killing intent. My berserk self felt it's blood boiling. As it charged the monster finally took notice of my presence. It roared, angered at me for tainting it's presence, as if I was a lower being. My Berserk self had the bearing of a King like my title said, thus it couldn't tolerate being looked down upon as if it was a slap to it's face. It swung it's axe madly trying to remove the taint of it's pride while the Monster feeling the Aura swelled in size and blood flowed quicker and in vaster quantities through the cracks on it's body.
Thus it began, the axe with no thought behind it's direction swung as the thing was big enough to where aim didn't really matter.
The monster calmly took the hits, then casually swung it's fist down. The axe was raised to block the strike did little to stop it as it shattered under the force, which knocked my body into the wall. That was when my consciousness faded and Berserk properly took control.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ugh... *cough* *cough* *spurt*" What the fuck happened!? I pass out and I wake up sputtering blood!?
Blinking notifications flash across my view obnoxiously. I'll start with the oldest one I guess...
Level Up
Huh well that's probably from the stiffs I killed on my way here, no surprise there.
Class Selection has begunExamining Titles... Complete.Examining Stats... Complete.Examining Skills... Complete.Beginning analysis of Personality... Error.Because of Skill use Personality is in disarray.
Will make use of previous data on subjects personality and current personality.
Nani?
So obviously I reached Level 10 but does this mean they gave me a class based on my berserk self!?
I'm not gonna always be in berserk and to be perfectly honest I don't really have much blood lust.
I only kill because I need to. I hide behind a mask of cheerfulness like a fucking coward every day. Fuck! FUCK! FUCK! YOU THINK I WANT TO KILL!? YOU THINK I DIDN'T WANT TO GET MARRIED, HAVE KIDS, AND DIE OF A HEART ATTACK CAUSE OF MY BAD DIET!?
FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.
