《The Bad Guy Always Wins》Chapter 2: Monster Fight
Advertisement
I’m in the front of the forest with my father. I have my Dagger of Darkness with me with leather armor. My father has a short sword and a normal dagger. I’m excited. I’m finally going to be able to fight real monsters. I check my status.

With my previous training I was able to upgrade my stats naturally. I haven’t used any of my points since birth and every level I gain I get 4 stat points. I’ve been saving it for a day like this.

I evened out my stats a little and upgraded my Dexterity with the rest of my points. Since I have this dagger I will focus on stealth if I can. Every point I have in Intelligence raises my regen .5 per minute. Now I regen 25 mana per minute. Although I don’t have any spells It might be useful in the future.
“Are you ready son?”
“Yes father.” I reply. When I said my first words yesterday I decided to stop being so quiet. My mom was so happy that I could actually talk she cried. Was it so weird for my first words to be at 3 years of age?
We walk into the forest. The trees cover the sun so it’s dark. I pull out my dagger making me nearly invisible. About 5 minutes into the forest we meet a slime. It’s back seems to be turned to us. I use Observe on the slime.
Slime - Lvl 5 - 10/10HPResistant to physical attacks. Although you can still kill them

with physical attacks, it'll take a while.
“Son, sneak behind it and continually attack. Do not stop attacking until it’s dead.”
I began to sneak towards the slime. I end up right behind it without it noticing me. I attack! I slash and it does 5 damage. The slime instantly turns around. It doesn’t have any eyes but there seems to be holes where the eyes should be. It doesn’t go all the way through but there’s small holes there.
It lunges at me with its whole body but I easily dodge. I turn back towards my father to see what’s he’s going to but he’s not there. I started to try and look around for him but before I could spot him the slime latches onto my arm. Nothing happens at first but then the pain starts. It agonizing! It feels like it’s melting my arm! Crap, it has acid properties! I start trying to slice at the slime parts that’s not fully connected to my arm. It takes 5 slices for the slime to finally die. The slime instantly falls off. I fall on my ass with a sigh of relief. I look at my arms but there’s no burns or injuries. It doesn’t even hurt anymore. I check my stats.

It took a solid 20 health points. Although it hurt it wasn’t really threatening. I stand back up to look for my father but from deeper into the forest 3 more slimes come come hopping into the distance. Fuck.
Before they could do anything I instantly run towards all three of them. Although they hurt they are no threat to my life. I should use this opportunity to gain experience. I’m about a foot away from the middle slime before I throw my dagger straight at him. It goes right between the eyes and the slime instantly falls to the ground. It seems like even slimes have a weak spot. Without a weapon I arrive right in front of slime #2 on the right and kick him. The slime gets sent into a tree but it cost me 5 points of HP. I continue and run past the third slime to pick up my dagger. I run to the kicked slime on the ground and stab my life in between its eyes. It dies instantly. There only one left. I walk towards the slime with my knife in hand. I go for the instant kill that I found.

Level Up ( lvl 9 )
That was my first real monster battle. I want more. I don’t know why but I want more. I start to walk deeper into the forest. I want more. Before I could leave too far from my starting point, something calls to me. I instantly stop walking. I lose control of my body and start to walk back towards the slime graveyard. I notice something new. It was 4 green floating orbs above all of the slimes corpses. I got to one of them. It’s calling to me. It needs me. I reach out to the orb. As soon as I touch the one orb all of them rushes towards my chest.
Obsorb First Soul! This monster will not respawn back into the world!
Congrats Death!
Level Up ( lvl 10 )
Level Up ( lvl 11 )

Wander West, in Shadow
BOOK 1 COMPLETED A young wizard journeys west, through dark forests and dangerous lands, searching for something. Accompanied by a wild witch who has secrets of her own, they come across terrible creatures, hauntings, cursed villages, and memories from their past. Who else will they meet along their journey, and to find what he is looking for, how far will the wizard have to wander west? NOTE: The above synopsis is intentionally written to be as spoiler-free as possible. If you would like a more in-detail synopsis, one that contains minor spoilers, please check out the "Synopsis" chapter at the beginning of this fiction. If you read and enjoy, please leave a rating or review! FORMERLY TITLED: THE GLIMMERLING This story was formerly titled "The Glimmerling", because the first part was a short story of that title; it has since been expanded upon, thus the title change. Chapters 1-8 (30k words) are the first 'arc', if you want to get a feel for the story. To give some context on the setting: Magic is a bit weaker in this story than you might be used to, and we start off following some relatively new magic users. For some perspective, being able to light a campfire with magic is considered relatively advanced for someone who is the age of the main character. Magic can become very powerful - and there are some examples of powerful wizards within this story - but it's not where the main characters are yet. Part of the story is about following them as they learn more about magic. Enemies are also very dangerous, and running, hiding, or trying to talk their way out of a dangerous situation is often a better choice than fighting for the characters. While I have added tags for traumatizing content, sexuality, violence, swearing, etc. I try to avoid super-explicit descriptions of these things. But they are part of the story.

Beyond?
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) ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— My world faced its end, but I refused to perish with it! So I intercepted a summoning ceremony from another world. One moment!? My summoner tried to summon a demon? Fuck it, I think it's better to break the contract and do my own thing... or not? Why is Mrs. Sacrifice hugging me? And why am I suddenly a child!? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am not entirely sure how this fiction will turn out. And I am not sure on the tags either. They may change. Bear with it. As always, how chapters turn out is up to my mood.

ANNO: 1623
This is a tale. One of Life, Of Death, And of the unnatural disregard for the rules that govern both. This story arguably begins at this climax, just after the death and reincarnation of a random eccentric. In a turbulent world experiencing a forceful, remorseless revolution, we follow the saga of a possessed young noble and the world around him. Follow Levi, a slightly crazy (Laughs), psychopathic, possibly apathetic yet apt youth... Possessing dual souls, and the memories that come with them, He challenges head-on the complicated political structure and social-economic hurdles that plague a budding, war-stricken civilization. Come along, oh dear traveller... To Anno, a world hiding legendary secrets worthy of your exploration. For it is the year 1623 S.T. The year it all began. ...
