《Heretic King》Heretic King - Chapter 10
Advertisement
As I saw the new stats shown in my status, I couldn't help but feel depressed. It's not the greatest thing to see the system say you're slowly going mad and that you're being corrupted. Haaa.
Oh well the last item I got was a key, so let's go see if it works on the system locked door.
I walked through the halls once more, once I got to the Locked door I saw a keyhole. I inserted the newly gained key and turned.
*Ker-chunk*
The door unlocked.I push and enter into the new room which I hoped gave me something good. Once I entered and looked around I noticed in the room was a desk with a map laid out, a chair behind the desk, and a large chest in the middle of the room. I decided to look at the map first. As I picked it up I got a system notification.
You have found a map!Map System now unlocked!
After I looked at that message, I called out "Map". In front of my vision was the map I had just gained and black squares all around it. In the unlocked square there was an X with a dotted line leading to a blue dot.
In one of the black squares touching the map there was the blue dot, which I assumed was me.
I then turn to the chest. The chest was sparkling like a diamond and looked like a master chest from Skyrim.
As I opened the chest I got two notifications.

I selected the Map Square the blue dot was in, which would help when I try and find the objective this map was leading me to.

Why can these things not come one at a time? Why do they have to overload me with info!? Let's start with the Affinities I guess.
"Affinities!"
AffinitiesBlood15%Demonic9%Darkness10%Space5%Time3%
Well I suppose the first three make sense but why do I have an affinity to Time and Space? Questions that won't be answered I guess. "Inspect Questing System"
Questing SystemQuests can be given by NPC's or can be triggered by an item once you know enough about it.
Simple enough I guess. Though I don't have any quests right now. For now I'll read that Book I got.
'Ways to Counteract Demonic Influence'
Demonic Influence causes many problems such as Corruption and Madness. Many great men have fallen due to madness until people found ways to counteract demonic influence. One way is to stay in the presence of a holy being. Another is to meditate to suppress the influence. One unique way was to convert the Influence into Divine Sense. Another was to seal it inside of an item.

There are many ways people have done it, and many more to discover.
Well that helps in the future but for now I have no way to use any of these methods. Haaa.
I'll just head to that X on the map.
As I left I saw a flare light up in the sky that just so happened to be in the direction I was going. To pass the time I might as well 'help' right? I had a smirk on my face as I thought that.
I ran towards the flare, which was about a kilometer and a half ahead. If I was still plain ol' me it would have taken probably half an hour to get there on foot, but now with 76 agility I can cover that distance in less than 5 minutes.
As I got nearer and nearer, a thicker scent of blood and screams reached me, causing my blood to boil in excitement. As I arrived I was greeted with the sight of 7 people trying to fight off a pack of wolves while defending a man behind them. I used inspect on the wolves.
Silverback WolfLevel19Health433/700StatusBleedingA Silverback Wolf is a hybrid wolf that came into being after the Renewal. Unlike normal wolves the Silverback has a sturdy back and waist.
Damn. I was hoping for some big cheese but all I get are the scraps. I looked on from the distance as another human dies to a wolf. They aren't faring too well, except for one. A woman. Wielding a staff and shooting spells that do considerable damage. I inspected her from a distance.
StatusNameJulie SmithAge19RaceHumanLevel17GenderFemaleClassArch Mage
A rare class huh. She could be useful. I guess once they finish off the wolves, I'll kill the rest and corrupt her. As I thought that the final wolf falls, with 4 humans including Julie remaining.
The other three don't strike me as much, so I quickly jump in with a smash.
All four are stunned. While this happens I smash on one guys head while jabbing what seems to be a priest in the gut with the other end of the staff. Julie recovers and starts sending spells my way, I quickly dodge while coating myself in Bloodlust. Their faces blanch as they feel the bloodlust oozing off of me. I coat my staff in Aura as the Knight of them charges at me. A thrust at this abdomen leaves a hole clean through his gut. As she see that the Priest collapses to her knees sobbing and screaming incoherently. Julie seems to be the only one with fight left in her. I quickly end the Priest's misery with a quick thrust. I then turn to face Julie.
"Hello dear Julie." I must have looked the image of the Devil as I could see a wet stain forming around her crotch.
"Now Julie I have an offer for you. You join me and in return you don't die? Sound good?" Without waiting for a reply I dash forward as she stumbles back and lands on her bottom. I grasp her head and activate Authoritative Corruption. Fail. Shit I try again. Fail. I scream at her in frustration.
"JULIE DON'T RESIST IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!"
"AUTHORITATIVE CORRUPTION!"
*Ding*
SuccessYou have successfully made player 'Julie Smith' submit to your will.
Haa, Haa, Haa. I was panting. As I looked down on Julie she spoke to me.
"How can I serve, my King?"
A/N So how was that, Thomas finally isn't alone anymore, now he won't just be crazily talking to himself in his head. How did you like the new features? Do you think something needs adjusting or changing? Comment and If I see it I'll respond.

Two And A Half Deadmen
Silver-Spruce is a very strange and very haunted town. Ghosts inhabit its buildings and walk its streets. Some of them friendly and sane. Some of them not so much. Alder helps ghosts. Helps them fulfill their last requests so they can move on to whatever comes next. Sometimes the ghosts aren't so friendly and have to be moved on by force. Alder does that as well. And he's gotten rather good at it too. After a particularly rough exorcism, he finds himself following a strange ghost to a local tourist attraction. And while Alder never means to find himself caught up in chaos, monsters, magic, and mayhem always seem to have a way of finding him. You want more specifics for what you're reading? Here you go: This is Urban-fantasy but a little bit of a different spin. Often the protagonists in such stories tend to be the bigger fish in their world, or at least far from small fry. Be they legendary boogie men or badass wizards (which is in no way a bad thing, I love a lot of those stories.) But I thought it would be fun to have a protagonist who's far closer to the bottom end of the scale. He has some magic, and it's potent in its own way. But he isn't the big dog or a fighting machine. Outside of his bubble of influence, our protagonist is essentially a normal human as far as powers are concerned. And while you should be warned that this story will get dark in some places it's (hopefully) balanced out by humor and the lighter stuff. I'm not sure how to end this synopsis section so I'll just say bye. Bye!
